Cerita Rakyat: Dilestarikan, atau Diolah Semula?
Folktales: To Preserve, or Fracture?
PresentationMuhammed Shahril Shaik Abdullah
Festival Pass| Festival Talk Pass
Sebahagian besar sastera kanak-kanak berasal daripada cerita-cerita rakyat yang diwarisi daripada tradisi sastera lisan. Namun, sejauh manakah penceritaan semula cerita-cerita rakyat perlu kekal benar menurut versi asal? Haruskah ia diubah suai mengikut perubahan zaman supaya kekal relevan? Atau haruskah ia benar-benar diubah dengan tujuan mempermasalahkan versi yang asal atau untuk mengedepankan nilai-nilai baru yang mungkin bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam versi asal?
Sesi ini akan berlangsung dalam Bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris
A large part of children’s literature comes from folktales inherited from the oral tradition. However, to what extent should the retelling of folktales remain true to the original version? Should it be revised according to the changes of the era? Or should it be completely altered to problematize or to present new values that may be contrary to the values contained in the original version?
This session will be conducted in both Malay and English.
