[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》

[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...

[EP 40] 古迹修复、知识传承与公众参与:专访陈泾霖博士

本集节目邀请到马来西亚注册古迹修复师陈泾霖博士,分享他参与古迹修复的经验。陈博士对古迹保存的兴趣,源自童年居住于霹雳州峇眼色海老店屋的生活记忆。这份情感引领他日后深入研究砖砌古建筑,并走上专业修复之路。作为年轻一代的修复师,陈博士在与前辈学者的交流中不断积累经验;除了担任槟州文化遗产理事会成员,他也积极参与国际事务,担任国际古迹遗址保护协会(ICOMOS CIF)培训委员会副主席。这些国际参与的经验,让他更深刻体会到在地知识与建筑独特性的重要。陈博士观察到,近年相关政策已逐渐强调「由下而上」的公众参与,这是相当正面的发展。古迹的修复与活用需要长期的耐心与政策支持,而之中的关键,在于如何通过教育让民众真正认识古迹,进而让文化遗产进入生活之中,甚至让年轻人愿意投入古迹维护专业的道路。 In this episode, we talk to Malaysian registered conservator Dr. Tan Chin Ling regarding the current practices, challenges, and future of heritage conservation...
