Everyday Migrant Architecture and Socio-Spatial Practices: Bawean Langkher in the Singapore Ponthuk
This article examines how migrants from the island of Bawean in the Indonesian Archipelago architecturally responded to the urban environment upon migrating to Singapore in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Baweanese migrants translated architectural traditions and everyday life routines by adjusting the layouts of existing urban forms to facilitate their socio-religious needs. The continuity of the Bawean langkher (prayer hall) was formed by dynamic links between the community and their changing circumstances, motivations for Baweanese migration, and spontaneous acts of agency and resistance to colonial intervention in and away from the homeland. I explore how the Singapore ponthuk (migrant house) continued to perpetuate the socio-religious norms, mores, taboos, and laws of the Baweanese in the first half of the twentieth century. Within the hinterland, this led to a religious identity that was distinct from that of the larger Malay community. I argue that these continuities can be brought to light through a consideration of the memory of socio-spatial practices in everyday settings. I further suggest that the case of the Bawean langkher in the ponthuks of Singapore expands upon the notion of invisible geographies in the field of Islamic architecture.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
