| description | Food is one of the quintessential elements in the everyday life in the Chinese
Peranakan household. To them, food is not only for daily consumption, but it is also
for celebration and religious offerings. The transformation process of ingredients by
manipulating the kitchen tools are performed according on the haptic knowledge and
experience were inherited from one generation to another. Hence, there is a strong
connection between the memory and the senses behind the production of Nyonya
foods. This particularly the haptic sensuous organs which are used to perceive the
space and place through movement and locomotion. Unfortunately, the young
generations are now modernised and little of them are practicing these cultural beliefs.
Because of the rapid modernisation and westernisation, safeguarding the cultural
elements of Chinese Peranakan culture is imperative. In related to that, this research
looks on the haptic heritage behind the production of Nyonya foods in Penang Chinese
Peranakan household. Haptic experience which implanted over the time will develop
the ‘Sense of Place’ to the Chinese Peranakan descendants towards their domestic
spaces. Thus, the main objective of this research is to investigate the correlation
between haptic heritage and ‘Sense of Place’ in the domestic spaces of Penang Chinese
Peranakan household. This study adopts Lefebvre’s Space Triad to examine the
domestic spaces and to experienced it on the lived experience of the Penang Chinese
Peranakan descendants. This research is qualitative with inductive approach that
delves into ethnography, phenomenology, and case study. Seven Penang Chinese
Peranakan descendants aged between 60 to 90 years were also interviewed. |
