| dc.description | This research explores cultural identities manifested in popular TV fiction and examines how audience responds to them. Specifically, the aims of the study are fivepronged, namely 1) to identify dominant issues related to preserving and shifting Malay cultural identities, 2) to examine audience's reactions about these issues, 3) to establish links between these issues in TV fiction and audience responses, 4) to analyze TV fiction and audience responses on narrative of Malayness and the changing cultural realities at individual and collective levels, and 5) to explicate alternative spaces of Malay cultural identities. Four stages of data scrutiny are conducted; the TV fiction's narrative exchanges in Julia, On Dhia, and Adam & Hawa are firstly analyzed using conversation analysis. Secondly, respondents are interviewed (individually and through focus groups), and thirdly, they write these issues through personal narratives. Fourthly, the following theories, namely, social imaginary, alternative modernities, and hybridity are, then, used to analyze the findings. The following findings are surmised; the divergence from Malay adat is colored with uncertainty of modernity that contains cracks, fracture, social, and cultural displacement, and foreshadows that reveal the appropriation of global issues in local domains. The convergence with Malay adat magnifies greater intensification of Malay moral currency and unveils the vulnerability of humanity and dependence on God. In conclusion, this study represents the creative interaction of diverse Malay cultural identities, embodied in the project of achieving insights into the relationship between becoming or not becoming Malay. As an implication, this study on theorizing the unconscious Malay psyche provides insights into the creative interaction between Islamic-ness and Malay-ness, in times of changing mediascape and modernity vis-avis 1Malaysia, linking media, sociology, and postcolonial literature.,Ph.D. | |
