在《令人不安的缺席》一书中,埃里克·汤普森认为,城市化是一种与城市无关的文化力量,在马来西亚乡村无处不在。城市化被转移到农村社区,推动了移民,改变了农村居民的社会生活,并造成了对个人身份的深刻矛盾。这使得马来人在城市和乡村都感到格格不入。吉隆坡是现代化的缩影,但搬到那里的农村马来人往往在其周边的棚户区被边缘化。甘榜象征着家和马来人身份的所在地,但教科书和电视已经将城市化的标志,标志着农村生活在一个前瞻性国家的落后和边缘化。这本书通过将城市主义定位在城市之外的更广阔的世界中来挑战城市研究,并展示了农村居民在一个压倒性的城市世界中的矛盾现实。正如其他人质疑“现代性”的含义一样,汤普森挑战了“城市”的含义,同时仍然认识到“城市主义”意识形态的强大影响。“令人不安的缺席”是一个呼吁认真对待基于地方的身份和文化地理在一个世界里,城市/农村的鸿沟正在消除在实践中,但在文化方面仍然像以往一样强大。
In "Unsettling Absences", Eric Thompson argues that urbanism is a cultural force unbound from the city and is a pervasive presence in the Malaysian countryside. Transported to rural communities, urbanism has motivated migration, transformed the social lives of rural inhabitants, and created a deep ambivalence about personal identity. This has left rural Malays feeling out of place in both the city and the village. Kuala Lumpur epitomises modernity, but rural Malays who move there are often marginalised in squatter settlements on its periphery. The kampung symbolises home and the locus of Malay identity, but schoolbooks and television have projected urbanism that marks rural life as backwards and marginal in a forward-looking nation into the kampung. The book challenges city-bound urban studies by locating urbanism in a wider world that extends outside of the city, and shows the conflicted realities of rural dwellers in an overwhelmingly urban world. As others have challenged the meaning of "modernity", Thompson challenges the meaning of "urban" while still recognising the powerful effects of an ideology of "urbanism". "Unsettling Absences" is a call to take seriously place-based identities and cultural geographies in a world where the urban/rural divide is dissolving in practice but in cultural terms remains as powerful as ever.
