The Narration of Keris As A Subject of Malay Culture Figurative in Rahim Razali’s Films
Abstract
This article discuses on the topic of keris (dagger) imagery as a metaphor for Malay culture in two films of Rahim Razali: Puteri (1987) and Anak Sarawak (1989). In the cultural influence of Malay community, the dagger not only refers to the weaponry but also an art manifestation and a reflection of the values of thought, philosophy and culture for the Malay community. The objective of this study is to analyse the imagery of Malay culture through the display of daggers in both films that are in line with the philosophy and beliefs of the Malays. This study uses qualitative methods by applying a sociological approach to literature. The result shows that the local elements depicted in both films through Keris imagery have elevated aspects of beliefs, myths and rituals that are fundamental to Malay customs and culture. In addition, both films have also documented community social protests, especially regarding class conflict between bourgeoisie and proletariat, using the dagger as a medium of strength.
Keywords: Keris, Malay culture, Malay belief, Rahim Razali’s films, Puteri and Anak Sarawak.
