| Summary: | At present, Malay literature is inundated with local literary theories, each
with its own principle. These theories are intended to provide a framework for
understanding what quality literary work should be. But, these literary ideas
are derived mostly from academic writings, instead of literary writings. This
raises the question: are literary works not able to be a legitimate vehicle for
conveying a theory? Hence, this article makes use of the novel Pujangga Melayu
(1997) by Mohd Affandi Hassan as research material. Its selection is based on
the author’s claim that the novel has translated his ideas of Persuratan Baru
into creative works, which before this were expressed through his academic writings. By making use of human sexuality as subject matter, this article
analyses the meaning of sexuality as embedded in the novel, by comparing it to
the philosophy and principles of Persuratan Baru, which was attached to
Taklif, i.e. the acknowledgement of reality by mankind of his bond to God.
Further analysis shows that the above referred to meaning is not only clarified
by the novelist through the manipulation of narrative devices, but also through
discourses in an even more dominant way |
