Exile in Colonial Asia
Exile was a potent form of punishment and a catalyst for change in colonial Asia between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. Vast networks of forced migration supplied laborers to emerging colonial settlements, while European powers banished rivals to faraway locations. Exile in Colonial Asia explores the phenomenon of exile in ten case studies by way of three categories: “kings,” royals banished as political exiles; “convicts,” the vast majority of those whose lives are explored in this volume, sent halfway across the world with often unexpected consequences; and “commemoration,” referring to the myriad ways in which the experience and its aftermath were remembered by...
Banished potentates
Though the overthrow and exile of Napoleon in 1815 is a familiar episode in modern history, it is not well known that just a few months later, British colonisers toppled and banished the last king in Ceylon. Beginning with that case, this volume examines the deposition and exile of indigenous monarchs by the British and French – with examples in India, Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam, Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco – from the early nineteenth century down to the eve of decolonisation. It argues that removal of native sovereigns, and sometimes abolition of dynasties, provided a powerful strategy used by colonisers, though European overlords were seldom capable of quelling resistance in the conquered countries, or of effacing the memory of local monarchies and the legacies they left behind.
Handbook Ilmu Pariwisata
lmu pariwisata sudah diakui sebagai ilmu pengetahuan (science) di Indonesia sejak tahun 2008. Tetapi masih terjadi fenomena blind spot dalam praktik pariwisata sebagai ilmu pengetahuan atau disiplin ilmu, yaitu dalam hal konsep, teori, metode, dan metodologi ilmu pariwisata. Hal ini dapat menjadi kendala kepada ilmu pariwisata dalam memberikan kontribusi akademis bagi pengembangan keilmuan dan kontribusi praktis untuk pembangunan pariwisata secara makro maupun mikro.

The Study of Dress History
Over the past ten years the study of dress history has finally broken free of the shackles that have held it back, and is now benefiting from new, multidisciplinary approaches and practices, which draw on material culture, art history, ethnography, and cultural studies. This book focuses on the development of these new methods to be found within the field of dress history and dress studies, and assesses the current condition and future directions of the subject.
Fashionable Traditions
Textiles play a decisive role in history: attire not only indicates status, gender, ethnicity, and religion but illustrates how such boundaries are continuously being negotiated, shifted, and recreated. Fashionable Traditions captures the complex reality of Asian handmade textile production and consumption. From traditionalist discourse and cultural authenticity to fashion and market trends, the contributors to this collection demonstrate the multilayered influence of often contradictory forces. In-depth, ethnographic case studies reveal the entangled relationships between local artisans, external interventions, and consumers, while acknowledging the broader frameworks in which such relationships are situated. Together these stories offer a vivid account of the socio-economic, political, and cultural dynamics in various parts of Asia and emphasize that fashion is neither a Western prerogative nor do its roots reside solely in the West.
After Bali: The Threat Of Terrorism In Southeast Asia
This book critically analyses the specific threat of terrorism in Southeast Asia since the Bali blasts of 12 October 2002 and the US-led war on Iraq. It offers a comprehensive and critical examination of the ideological, socioeconomic and political motivations, trans-regional linkages, and media representations of the terrorist threat in the region, assesses the efficacy of the regional counter-terror response and suggests a more balanced and nuanced approach to combating the terror threat in Southeast Asia. The contributors include leading scholars of political Islam in the region, renowned terrorism and regional security analysts, as well as highly regarded regional journalists and commentators. This represents a formidable and unequalled combination of expertise.
Untuk Bung Karno dan Taman Siswa: Biografi Irna HN Hadi Soewito
“Sejarawan Indonesia lebih sibuk berhistoriografi dan terancam lupa menulis diri sendiri atau rekan seprofesi secara utuh,” begitu kekhawatiran FX Domini BB Hera. Kendati banyak menghasilkan karya penting dalam pustaka sejarah Indonesia, salah satunya Soewardi Soerjaningrat dalam Pengasingan, belum ada biografi yang secara khusus mengulas kiprah Irna HN Hadi Soewito. Bahkan, biografi sejarawan perempuan di Indonesia pun pada umumnya masih terhitung langka. Buku ini menjawab kekhawatiran itu. Eka Budianta mengajak kita mengunjungi sejarah personal Irna HN Hadi Soewito, dari masa kecilnya di Kediri hingga kini genap berusia 80 tahun. Dalam buku ini pula terceritakan apa dan bagaimana keterkaitan Irna dengan Bung Karno, sang proklamator dan presiden pertama Republik Indonesia, juga Ki Hadjar Dewantara, sosok penting di balik Taman Siswa.
A Theory of Textuality
This is the first comprehensive and systematic theory of textuality that takes into account the relevant views of both analytic and Continental thinkers and also of major historical figures. The author shows that most of the confusion surrounding textuality is the result of three factors: a too-narrow understanding of the category; a lack of a proper distinction among logical, epistemological, and metaphysical issues; and a lack of proper grounding of epistemological and metaphysical questions on logic analyses. The author begins with a logical analysis of the notion of text resulting in a definition that serves as the basis for the distinctions he subsequently draws between texts on the one hand and language, artifacts, and art objects on the other; and for the classification of texts according to their modality and function. The second part of the book uses the conclusions of the first part to solve the various epistemological issues which have been raised about texts by philosophers of language, semioticians, hermeneuticists, literary critics, semanticists, aestheticians, and historiographers.
