TALK: Ethnicized Themes in Malaysian Films

February 10, 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies Auditorium

---

Zainal’s research explores the ways in which Malaysian undergraduates interpret and articulate themes on ethnic relations through their engagement with Malaysian films.

By employing a combination of research methods, including in-depth focus group interviews, the speaker seeks to address the kind of meanings that Malaysian undergraduates make out of contemporary Malaysian films that feature inter-ethnic themes.

Zainal adopts a constructivist perspective and draws in part upon Stuart Hall’s (1973) theories of encoding and decoding, and she argues for an extension of academic scholarship on how young film viewers engage with films in relation to the broader socio-cultural and socio-political contexts of their everyday lives.
