Synopsis "The Malayan Emergency in Film, Literature and Art: Cultural Memory as Historical Other"

Examining film, literature and art produced during and after the Malayan Emergency, the guerrilla war fought between independence fighters of the Malayan National Liberation Army and the military forces of the British Empire, this collection demonstrates how art functions as a record of cultural memory that both reinforces and challenges official histories. Beyond that, it also brings new understandings of the Malayan Emergency itself, and Malaysia's subsequent development as a postcolonial nation. Divided into two sections, the first focuses on films and writings produced during the period of the Emergency to capture the socio-political circumstances of the time and understand its effect on the people. The second section goes on to explore representations of the Emergency generated after the event, highlighting how it was reimagined or revaluated by later artists and what ideological ends they served. Offering a comparative methodological approach, it includes works produced by both British and Malaysian supporters. Bringing together the personal and political within individual and collective histories, this collection offers a new understanding of how the Emergency contributed to the formation of postcolonial Malaysia, and demonstrates the central role that film, literature and art play in the creation of cultural memory.
