Antologi Drama Dunia (Siri 2)

The Faculty of Theatre believes that significant works from around the world should be translated to provide a foundation in the knowledge of drama and theatre worldwide to local students. Therefore, the World Drama Anthology: Series 2 continues with the presentation of three translated works, namely Miss Julie, Arms and the Man, and Ghost. These scripts were chosen by different writers to explore the ideologies and thoughts they wish to convey. The compilation of these three scripts as an anthology aims to expand the collection of translated scripts, enrich thoughts, and cultivate an environment of ever-evolving knowledge.

Busana Dalam Makyung Kelantan

As an introduction, this book touches on the costumes worn in Makyung performances. The beauty and uniqueness of Makyung performances are not only found in the graceful dances that demand patience, captivating narratives, fixed speech, and styles accompanied by engaging music, but also reflect aesthetics through the complete and beautiful costumes that contain specific symbols of interest. Therefore, each character performing in Makyung has distinct costume characteristics to differentiate the roles of each character. The use of these costumes also highlights the rank and status of characters, especially the Pakyung, Makyung, and other supporting characters.

kritikan-kuratorial

Kritikan Kuratorial

The book “Curatorial Criticism” by Badrolhisham Mohd. Tahir, which contains 19 articles, makes a highly important contribution at a time when materials related to art criticism appear to be lacking locally, compared to other art genres such as literature. This shortage results in local artworks being assessed, measured, and interpreted from a Western perspective, ultimately limiting Malaysia’s art from fully ‘liberating’ itself from foreign art influences. Each article in this book is a deep exploration to understand the journey and phenomenon of local art from the perspective of Malaysian critics. As a result, the author positions himself as an observer, interpreter, and critic in the midst of the paradigms, polemics, and clash of ideas surrounding Malaysian visual art since the late 1990s, which have been documented in various local media outlets.
