- W2508084443 abstract "National symbols are part of a country's historical material culture. They are an indication of how those in power within the country wish the nation to be represented on the global stage. Intersecting with such cultural and political factors are the ways in which economic enterprises construct objects or artifacts that over time assume the status of national icons. The focus in this article is on two examples of Malaysian material culture that are accepted by visitors and pr.omoted by the government as national symbols - batik and pewter. The making of these national material cultural identities provides a window to broader sociological dynamics. These can be viewed as a manifestation of a process where the government negotiates a softly articulated balance between the interests and concerns of its political constituency and the rigorous demands of the market - a Malaysian pianissimo. In an era of globalization, the production and consumption of material symbols to represent or encapsulate aspects of national identity usually embodies the economic decisions of major business players wholink with political stakeholders for mutual advantage. For example, the staging of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney saw certain businesses having the rights to produce particular icons that were promoted as depicting Australia. Similarly, when the Commonwealth Games were staged in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, the selling of Malaysia to the outside world included a wide range of artifacts. This article is an attempt to tease out the processes by which these choices are made by examining the role of the Malaysian state1 and the extent to which it protects the interests of a particular community; the economic imperative of business in a country that has opened its doors" @default.
