THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER: AN INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA WITH THE BRITISH COUNCIL (/INDEX.PHP/EVENTS/NEWSARCHIVE/73-THE-UNCOMMERCIALTRAVELLER-AN-INTERNATIONALCOLLABORATION-BETWEEN-SCHOOLOF-HUMANITIES-AND-SCHOOL-OFCOMMUNICATION-UNIVERSITI-SAINSMALAYSIA-WITH-THE-BRITISHCOUNCIL) During the recent Semester 2, 2011/2012 mid-semester break, six students from the School of Humanities comprising 5 English Studies section students (ELLS) and one Translation student (BATI) were involved in an international project organised by the British Council to celebrate Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday. Inspired by Dickens’ The Uncommercial Traveller, a non-fiction account of his wanderings around London, this project involved a team of consultants from Punchdrunk and Arcola Theatre (two very renowned arts/theatre groups from the UK) travelling around the world to work with selected groups of local participants to craft stories based upon their own cities. These stories were then uploaded on a website for the public to download, listen to, or use as a guided audio while travelling across the cities concerned. The project was carried out in London, Melbourne, Karachi, Singapore and finally, Georgetown, Penang.

It was also reported on the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) Arts and Culture portal (http://culture360.org/news/the-uncommercial-travellerdickens-2012-melbourne-karachi-london-penang-singapore-audioguided-journeys/)http://culture360.org/news/the-uncommercialtraveller-dickens-2012-melbourne-karachi-london-penang-singaporeaudio-guided-journeys/ (http://culture360.org/news/the-uncommercialtraveller-dickens-2012-melbourne-karachi-london-penang-singaporeaudio-guided-journeys/) and of course the British Council’s website (http://literature.britishcouncil.org/projects/2011/dickens2012/punchdrunk-the-uncommercialtraveller)http://literature.britishcouncil.org/projects/2011/dickens2012/punchdrunk-the-uncommercial-traveller (http://literature.britishcouncil.org/projects/2011/dickens2012/punchdrunk-the-uncommercial-traveller) where the audio files will soon be available for download.
Katanya, dalam konteks pembangunan, isu berkaitan bahasa, sastera serta budaya seringkali dianggap tidak setanding dengan bidang sains dan teknologi, sekaligus mencetuskan pelbagai polemik dan menyentuh sensitiviti banyak pihak. ``Justeru, melalui ICLLIC, USM berharap dapat melihat dan mengemukakan langkah-langkah proaktif dalam menguruskan isu-isu pembangunan khasnya dalam bidang sains dan teknologi tanpa mengabaikan aspek kesusasteraan dan budaya,’’ jelasnya. Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas merasmikan ICLLIC 2010 di sini hari ini. Turut hadir ialah Timbalan Naib Canselor (TNC) INTI-UC Laureate International Universities, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Ibrahim Bajunid (pembentang ucap utama), TNC Akademik dan Antarabangsa USM, Prof Ahmad Shukri Mustapa Kamal dan Dekan PPIK, Prof. Dato’ Abu Talib Ahmad.
The British Council Global project manager Anne Dever praised the quality of our students’ efforts: "With Uncommercial Traveller Penang, we saw how creative the Malaysian participants were in putting together their accounts of the streets, sights and sounds of George Town." British Council Malaysia Arts manager Grey Yeoh similarly said he was impressed by the quality of the series produced by the students. The students enjoyed the experience working with each other, and with the UK consultants – theatre practitioners Raquel Meseguer and Bryn Jones from Punchdrunk and Arcola respectively, as well as Punchdrunk's sound and graphic designer, Stephen Dobbie – and said that they had learnt a lot about themselves and their surroundings from the intensive 5-day exercise. Renukha (ELLS Year 1) reflected: “I opened my heart to a whole new world during the project. I realised the happiness and tragedies that surround the city of Georgetown which made me look at Georgetown from a whole different perspective. The team I worked with was supportive too and they motivated me a lot. I send my praises to God for giving me such an opportunity!”
Persidangan julung kali dianjurkan itu menghimpunkan kira-kira 200 peserta dari 20 negara termasuk antarabangsa dan menyajikan lebih 100 kertas kerja pelbagai topik yang berkisar kepada tema persidangan iaitu Millenium Realities and Innovative Practices in Asia. Tambah Dzulkifli, isu bahasa, kesusteraan dan budaya juga adalah antara isu penting yang sering diabaikan ekoran ia tidak boleh diukur melalui mekanisme-mekanisme tertentu seperti Indeks Pencapaian Utama (KPI) dan sebagainya. Namun jelas beliau, sebagai sebuah gedung ilmu, USM tidak akan membenarkan isu tersebut dipinggirkan hanya kerana ia tidak boleh diukur, sebaliknya lebih menekankan ia sebagai satu cabang ilmu yang harus diangkat semula dalam sistem pendidikan di negara kita. ``Kita perlu lebih ramai ilmuan dalam bidang-bidang seumpama ini kerana tanpanya, pembangunan tamadun ilmu menjadi tempang dan tidak lengkap, sekaligus menyebabkan lenyapnya sesuatu budaya tempatan,’’ jelas beliau. Dalam sidang media yang sama, Dzulkifli turut mengumumkan status terkini pengambilan pelajar bagi program Ijazah Sarjana Muda USM bagi sesi kemasukan 2010/2011 untuk pemohon lepasan Matrikulasi, Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) dan setaraf dengannya. Beliau berkata, sehingga kini USM telah menawarkan tempat kepada 3,694 calon daripada 26,000 yang membuat permohonan untuk melanjutkan pengajian di USM. ``Daripada jumlah yang ditawarkan, 2,690 pemohon yang berjaya telah membuat pengesahan menerima tawaran sehingga tempoh pengesahan ditutup lewat malam semalam,’’ katanya. Tambah beliau, USM masih mempunyai 600 tempat kosong dan ia masih dibuka untuk permohonan rayuan bertulis bagi mereka yang gagal dalam permohonan terdahulu. Tarikh tutup rayuan adalah pada 21 Jun 2010. ``Bagaimanapun, rayuan hanya dibuka kepada mereka yang gagal mendapat tempat setelah membuat permohonan kali pertama dan mengikuti Ujian Penilaian Penetapan Khas (MUnsyl). USM tidak akan menerima sebarang permohonan baru,’’ katanya sambil menyifatkan proses pengambilan pada tahun ini berjalan lancar.
