Genrequeer: gender, genre, and disability in contemporary autobiographical lyric memoirs by Chong, Catherine May Deen

“…By resisting dominant structures of testimony, such as the ‘Restitution Narrative’ (Frank, 1995, p. ix), the ‘Chaos Narrative’ (Ibid.), the ‘Quest Narrative’ (Ibid.) or the monomyth referred to as the ‘hero’s journey’ which Joseph Campbell conceptualised as representing ‘the rites of passage’ (Campbell, 1949, p. 30) defined by ‘separation—initiation—return’ (Ibid.), authors of contemporary genrequeer narratives demonstrate how styles of genre non-normativity can devise queercrip interventions into autobiographical structures of telling outside those monopolised by ablebodied expectations of form. …”

The impact modernisation of land administration on two Malay classes in Kedah, 1909-1941 by Mohd Rus, Ahmad Kamal Ariffin, Nordin, Nurizwanfaizi

“…Again, the dualistic policy among the Malays was not discussed in the study.In the context of Kedah, the continuation of the implementation of traditional-era dualistic policy during the colonial period is a unique element, in that it shows British compromise in preserving this heritage.This situation is not surprising, judging from British previous policy in its Malay protectorates by taking a cautious approach in regards to Malay sentiments. Frank Athelstane Swettenham, that grand imperialist of Malaya, stated that: “We should not interfere overmuch with native customs and prejudices, and we should be specially careful to avoid any attempt to force English views, even when English opinion is practically unanimous on a subject, upon a people living utterly under different conditions…” This paper attempts to see how far British dualistic policy regarding land impacted Malay society in 1909-1941.This study will also identify the factor in the preservation of this Malay elite privilege during the colonial period. …”
