SUMMARY:Revolutionising Print, Revolutionary Politics: Printed Matter and Politics in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, 1850s–1970s
LOCATION:Room 1.402
DESCRIPTION:The role of printing and publishing in colonial and independenc
 e movements within the Malay world has been extensively documented. From Wi
 lliam Roff’s study of print and Malay nationalism in the 1960s, to Benedict
  Anderson’s notion of “print capitalism” in the 1980s, the printed press, m
 ainly in the form of the newspaper and periodical, has been convincingly ar
 gued to have provided a social, linguistic and political coherency to vario
 us independence movements in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. However, sc
 ant attention has been given to the wider breadth of print culture that eme
 rged at the turn of the twentieth-century, in the run up to decolonisation 
 in the respective countries, including: anti-colonial political brochures, 
 feminist newsletters, comics, underground weeklies during the Second World 
 War, post-war lifestyle and literary magazines and others. Consequently, su
 ch printed matter is often relegated to the margins – sometimes literally –
  of the study of print and politics in the Malay world in order to privileg
 e a unitary view of independence politics in the abovementioned countries.\
 n\nIn the wake of a resurgent interest in the print history of the Malay wo
 rld, this panel seeks to relook such printed matter in these regions (inclu
 ding, but not limited to, brochures, flyers, magazines, handwritten presses
 , advertisements) in order to widen the narrative of print and politics in 
 the Malay world. How can the expansive, and sometimes contradictory print c
 ulture of this region enrich and complicate our understanding of Malay mode
 rnity, particularly amidst decolonisation and independence? How was print c
 ulture during this time assimilated and understood in existing indigenous m
 odes of knowledge production in these territories? Most importantly, what a
 re the divergences and convergences in the medium of the printed press acro
 ss Dutch- and British-occupied Southeast Asia and what does this ultimately
  reveal to us about print as a medium? This panel welcomes contributions fr
 om a wide array of disciplines, such as media studies, gender studies, desi
 gn and others, that are focused on the study of the above material and issu
 es.
