Abstract: Research-education is a complex and interdisciplinary process that integrates scientific experimentation and practice into social action carried out by faculty members, whose knowledge base requires formal representation and communication processes for an interaction between the knowing subject and the knowledge object, as well as individual action schemes, in the theoretical approach of genetic epistemology. This paper describes a technological resource used to implement this process and presents its theoretical foundation (o underpinnings). This technological resource functions as an agent in the knowledge construction process and its theoretical base is grounded in a multidisciplinary perspective. It corresponds to the technological dimension of a proposal for innovating the knowledge management process and organization. This resource is based on a software engineering paradigm and conceptual perspectives rooted in technological complexity. This paper refers to some preliminary resu

Abstract: The harmonious multicultural landscape in Malaysia is rooted in a plural society during the colonial rule. It was a time when the Malays, Chinese and Indians – met and lived together, sharing the same space yet remain culturally unique and apart. This research traces the transformation of pluralistic society into one with a multicultural identity as portrayed in Lat’s cartoons, from his earlier works to the more recent ones, captured the progression of Malaysia’s ethno-cultural and social dynamics from a plural society during its early independence, to the multi-ethnic, multicultural Malaysia of today. Three series of Lat’s cartoon: Kampung Boy, Town Boy and The Early Series are chosen as the research corpus. Two theories: Reception Theory and Reader Response Theory formed the basis for the analysis and discussion of the corpus. Findings reveal that Lat’s cartoon had successfully traced the transformation of the cultural landscape in Malaysia.
