Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture synopsis

Sijobang - singing my hairline about the legendary hero Anggun Nan Tungga - is a form of popular entertainment in the area around Payakumbuh, in the West Sumatra Heights. Although the story exists as written text, it is locally known as a dramatic and poetic story, and its nature as oral performance is the subject of this book.

Nigel Phillips begins by setting up sijobang in her cultural and literary context, then continues to describe the social background and train storytellers who perform the novel. Provides a summary of the story, and discusses its transient, fragmented and unacceptable form.

And follow the copies and translations of registered actors, leading to the description of the main linguistic and literary features of sijobang. Finally, Dr. Phillips examines in some detail the extent to which performance differs from one occasion to another, and what the link can be with the experience of the storyteller..
