Well, I am currently discussing Syair...Hi Kak Teh,<br /><br />Well, I am currently discussing Syair Bidasari with Braginsky. It is very interesting how the concept of 'indah' or 'beauty' is understood by the Malays of those times. 'Indah' in the context of syair, or Malay literature in general, is a constant leitmotiv in many of the early works. I was really fascinated when we discussed the psycho-therapeutic value of literatures of this particular genre. For Malays, 'beauty' causes such anxiety and fascination. For someone whose emotional institution is weak, the sheer experience of beauty can be bad for him, causing him to be sad, sorrowful, losing his senses etc. But for those whose emotions are in balance, 'beauty' might serve as a positive force. This is why I noticed in many Malay works, they explicitly mention sort of like "Hikayat ini penglipur lara, untuk hati yang luka etc" i.e. for those who just had a love crisis (unreciprocated love), 'beauty' embedded/interwoven in the literature serves as a substitute for the unreciprocated love. This concept has much to do with Sufi understandings of the soul (nafs). There is much to talk about. Actually I am the only student in his Masters program and I don't get to talk or discuss this with anyone else but him. Anyway, I hope, inshaAllah, we can meet up to chat about Malay literature. I am living in Russell Square by the way. Take care Kak Teh.
