摘要

1981年4月,专门报道神秘和超自然现象的马来方言杂志《Variasari》发表了第一个超自然恐怖惊悚系列,作者是化名塔玛尔·加里斯(Tamar Jalis)的作家,题为《与精灵的对话》(Bercakap Dengan Jin)。这些故事被分成284个系列,最后一部于2005年1月出版。这是马来方言杂志成功史上前所未有的事件。故事讲述的是一个名叫塔玛的少年,在60年代末,他陪着他的祖父,一个有着非凡能力的信仰治疗师和幽灵猎手,前往马来西亚和印度尼西亚的几个地方,帮助那些迫切需要帮助的人对抗与恶魔有关的案件。本文试图讨论故事集作为现代马来奥德赛。它将讨论故事中的四个重要元素:流浪的叙述;故事中的仪式线;忍耐作为英雄主义模式的主题;以及女性主义在叙事中的作用。这些都是该系列故事吸引死忠粉的一些元素。这一系列的故事对马来人的心理产生了不可思议的影响。以其独特的方式,这一系列故事类似于现代的马来奥德赛。

Tamar Jalis’ Bercakap Dengan Jin or Discourse with the Jinn: A Modern-Day Malay Odyssey
In April, 1981 Variasari, a Malay vernacular magazine that deals in the occult and the paranormal, published its first series of supernatural horror thriller written by a writer who went by the pseudonym Tamar Jalis titled Bercakap Dengan Jin or Discourse with the Jinn. The stories were apportioned into 284 series which saw the final instalment published in January, 2005. It was an unprecedented event in the history of Malay vernacular magazines’ success story. The story is about a teenager named Tamar who accompanied his grandfather, a faith healer and ghost buster of extraordinary prowess, on his journey to several places in Malaysia and Indonesia in the late sixties to help those who were in dire needs of assistance in fighting demonic–related cases. This paper attempts to discuss the collection of stories as a modern-day Malay odyssey. It will discuss four important elements in the story: the narratives of wandering; the ritualistic strands in the story; the theme of endurance as a mode of heroism; and the feminist role in the narratives. These are some of the elements that make the series of stories appeal to its die-hard fans. The series of stories simply had an uncanny effect on the Malay psyche. In its own unique way, the series of stories is akin to a modern-day Malay odyssey.
