[EP42] 书写槟城是我回家的方式:杜忠全博士

这一集,我们很开心邀请到拉曼大学中文系(金宝校区)系主任杜忠全博士,分享他书写槟城的缘起与思索。自2000年代初期起,杜博士以《老槟城·老生活》等系列著作,开启了槟城城市书写与路名研究的传统,成为中文社群认识老槟城的重要媒介。回望这段历程,源于90年代在台湾求学的他,深受当时社会民主化与民间文学思潮的启发,进而将目光转回故乡。他聆听在地耆老的记忆,并有意识地将个人的回忆镶嵌其中;对杜老师而言,这不只是文字记录,更是他当年决定返回马来西亚后,一种心灵上“回家”的方式。这份书写,恰好与当年民间积极推动古迹申遗的浪潮相呼应,为槟城乔治市留下了重要的集体生活记忆。就让我们一起聆听,感受杜博士对家乡的深情,以及在出书20年后,他对这座城市一路走来的观察与思考。 In this episode, we welcome Dr. Toh Teong Chuan, Head of the Department of Chinese Studies (Kampar Campus) at UTAR, to share his journey...

[EP 41] 从对家族的爱到地方历史的守护:陈宗仁老师谈《浮罗山背史记大全:地方研究史及变化》

这一集节目,我们邀请到来自浮罗山背的陈宗仁老师,分享他于去年出版的《浮罗山背史记大全》及其研究的心路历程。身为历史与马来语补习老师,陈老师长期致力于启发学生对马来语的学习,并促进本土文化的认同。 《浮罗山背史记大全》是一本珍贵的作品,全面记录了浮罗山背的历史与文化,书中的内容不仅是文史的累积,还蕴含了作者深厚的情感。这本书的诞生,源于陈老师在失去父亲的伤痛后,选择将对亲人的思念化作对家乡的守护,开始了长达七年的田野调查。他走遍了家乡的每一个角落,通过不懈的访谈、资料收集和实地考察,深入了解浮罗山背的每一个细节。书中的视角从陈老师的家族历史出发,逐步延伸至整个地区的发展。从家族的故事,到街道、产业的变迁,再到地理边界的扩展,这本书不仅关注人文地理,还探讨了山川河流、地貌变化以及山崩等自然现象。通过陈老师的坚持与努力,并在浮罗山背各界的支持下,这项珍贵的研究从一个人的孤独探索,动人地转向成在地居民理解地方历史的共同意愿。让我们一起走进陈老师的笔下,体验那份将思念转化为严谨著作的生命力量。 In this episode, we invite Mr. Chin Choong Yin, a native of Balik Pulau, to share his journey behind the creation of Sejarah...
