Coles Acehnology: Foundations of Civilization and the Intellectual Traditions of Aceh: Acehnology, #3 at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
What sustains a civilization when its language, institutions, and intellectual traditions begin to lose their place in public life?
Acehnology, Volume III, examines the cultural and intellectual foundations through which Aceh has understood itself and transmitted knowledge across generations. Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad approaches civilization not simply as political power or material achievement but as a living structure shaped by language, memory, education, religious authority, and inherited ways of thinking.
The book considers the Acehnese civilizational spirit, cultural system, and language alongside traditions of scholarship, authorship, and intellectual apprenticeship. It explores the role of the dayah in preserving Islamic learning and social leadership, as well as the connections that have linked Acehnese scholars with wider centers of knowledge.
The volume also reflects on transformations affecting contemporary Acehnese intellectual life, including the changing status of the local language, the challenges facing traditional education, and the shift from the authority of the teungku to the growing public presence of the ustaz .
By bringing these themes together, the book presents Acehnology as a field grounded not only in modern academic disciplines but also in the living traditions through which Acehnese society has preserved its identity, interpreted its experience, and understood its place in the world.
