Abstract
There are various Malay communities in West Kalimantan, which can be divided into two broad categories: (1) Malay migrants from outside Kalimantan (West Kalimantan) or contemporary Malays and (2) local Malays or native Malays who are considered as indigenous Malays. Contemporary Malays are Malay people who came from various areas in Sumatra, Riau Islands, Malay peninsula, East Malaysia (Serawak and Sabah States), and Brunei Darussalam. This paper aims to reconstruct the dynamics of Malay culture in West Kalimantan. This historiographical project is undertaken by applying historical method which consists of several main steps: searching for relevant sources, selecting the sources, interpreting the sources, and reconstructing events as relevant to the main topic. Bibliography consists of local sources, documents, and works of foreign scholars which are relevant to the topic.
Highlights
Information The concept of dynamics originated from a branch of physics which investigates moving objects and forces which generate such movements
It is interesting to note that, even though the Malay communities in West Kalimantan have adopted Islamic teachings as their basic cultural identity since 15th century, evidence suggests that some mixture between the Malay culture proper and some ancient elements of Hinduism and animism is still prevalent
There are various Malay people living in West Kalimantan, who can be divided into two broad categories: (1) new Malay settlers from outside Kalimantan (West Kalimantan) or contemporary Malays and (2) native Malays or true Malays or indigenous Malays, as they are more commonly called
Summary
Background Information The concept of dynamics originated from a branch of physics which investigates moving objects and forces which generate such movements. Kebudaya-an can be defined as ‘things related to intelligence or reason’ There is another opinion which regards the word budaya as a development of an Indonesian compound word budi daya, which means ‘the power of reason’.3. This alternative explanation leads to the semantic distinction between budaya and kebudayaan, with budaya taking the role of the ‘force of reason’ in its triple manifestations of cipta (creative mind), rasa (sense of taste), and karsa (action). This paper employs the term ‘Malay’ to refer to an ethnic group and language native to Sumatra, Malay peninsula, and various areas throughout Southeast Asia.[5]
