Drawing on 12 years of research and practice in Malaysia, Singapore, and England, social anthropologist and martial arts expert D.S. Farrer considers Malay silat through the transnational Sufi silat group called Seni Silat Haqq, an off-shoot of the Haqqani-Naqshbandi Sufi Order. ..This account combines theories from the anthropology of art, embodiment, enchantment, and performance to show how war magic and warrior religion amalgamate in traditional Malay martial arts, where practitioners distance themselves from “becoming animal” or going into trance, preferring a practice of spontaneous bodily movement by summoning the power of Allah. Silat and Sufism are revealed through the social dramas of 40-day boot-camps where Malay and European practitioners endeavor to become shadows of the Prophet, only to have their faith tested through a ritual ordeal of boiling oil. The unseen realm and magical embodiment is further approached through an account of Malay deathscapes where moving through the patterns of silat summons the spirits of ancestral heroes. .. | | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | | 关键词 | Anthropology; Europe; Haqqani-Naqshbandi; Islam; Martial arts; Nation; Performance studies; Phenomenology; R | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-9356-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3688-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-9356-2Series ISSN 2452-1361 Series E-ISSN 2543-053X | | issn_series | 2452-1361 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2009 |
