Traditions Redirecting Contemporary Indonesian Cultural Productions
This volume is the result of a conference held in October 2015 in connection with the Frankfurt Book Fair discussing developments that are considered important in contemporary Indonesian cultural productions. The first part of the book reflects on the traumatic experiences of the Indonesian nation caused by a failed coup on October 1, 1965. In more general theoretical terms, this topic connects to the field of memory studies, which, in recent decades, has made an academic comeback. The focus of the chapters in this section is how certain, often distressing, events are represented in narratives in a variety of media that are periodically renewed, changed, rehearsed, repeated, and performed, i...
Resistance on the National Stage
Resistance on the National Stage analyzes the ways in which, between 1985 and 1998, modern theater practitioners in Indonesia contributed to a rising movement of social protest against the long-governing New Order regime of President Suharto. It examines the work of an array of theater groups and networks from Jakarta, Bandung, and Yogyakarta that pioneered new forms of theater-making and new themes that were often presented more directly and critically than previous groups had dared to do. Michael H. Bodden looks at a wide range of case studies to show how theater contributed to and helped build the opposition. He also looks at how specific combinations of social groups created tensions and...
Clearing a Space
This collection draws together the work of authors from Indonesia, Australia, North America, and Europe, in the first comprehensive attempt to relate modern Indonesian literature to the insights and approaches of postcolonial theory and literary criticism. The essays in the collection range over the history of modern Indonesian literature from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to its diversity and growth in the 1990s. Some offer the fresh readings of well-known texts; others draw attention to aspects of the Indonesian literary tradition that have hitherto escaped the notice of scholars and critics. Grounded in detailed analysis of local contexts, yet enlivened by comparative and theoretical perspectives, the collection places Indonesian literature at the heart of contemporary cultural concerns.

Performing the Nation
In sharp contrast to today's disorder was the apparent cohesion and stability of Indonesia during much of the New Order period (1965-1998). While Suharto's authoritarian rule was significant, the regime's cultural policies also played their part in demonstrating that his regime created order throughout Indonesia not just through coercive means. Ethnic, religious, and regional sentiments were to be channelled into art, which was used to help develop a national Indonesian identity. This theme is explored by this study, which focuses on the efforts of a group of young art students based at the Bandung Academy of Performing Arts to revitalize traditional Longser theater.

From The Editor: Perempuan harus memiliki sisi maskulinnya, lelaki juga sebaliknya. Hanya dengan kemampuan menyelami identitas pada masing-masing yang digaris berbeda itu, empati mungkin ditumbuhkan. Sekaligus pengetahuan dimungkinkan tercipta. Bahwa perbedaan kodrati bentuk dan esensi mestinya bukan penghalang untuk membangun jembatan hubung; halnya tanpa harus memaksakan saling mengatasi. Virginia Woolf merenungkan bahwa: “Kesalahan yang fatal untuk menjadi laki-laki atau perempuan yang utuh dan sederhana, seseorang haruslah perempuan yang kelaki-lakian atau laki[1]laki yang keperempuan-perempuanan… Perkawinan antar yang bertolak belakang itu harus terjadi” (A Room of One’s Own).
