This volume brings together new scholarship by Indonesian and non-Indonesian scholars on Indonesia’s cultural history from 1950-1965. During the new nation’s first decade and a half, Indonesia’s links with the world and its sense of nationhood were vigorously negotiated on the cultural front. Indonesia used cultural networks of the time, including those of the Cold War, to announce itself on the world stage. International links, post-colonial aspirations and nationalistic fervour interacted to produce a thriving cultural and intellectual life at home. Essays discuss the exchange of artists, intellectuals, writing and ideas between Indonesia and various countries; the development of cultural networks; and ways these networks interacted with and influenced cultural expression and discourse in Indonesia. With contributions by Keith Foulcher, Liesbeth Dolk, Hairus Salim HS, Tony Day, Budiawan, Maya H.T. Liem, Jennifer Lindsay, Els Bogaerts, Melani Budianta, Choirotun Chisaan, I Nyoman Darma Putra, Barbara Hatley, Marije Plomp, Irawati Durban Ardjo, Rhoma Dwi Aria Yuliantri and Michael Bodden.

The theme of the conference is "Reconstructing Morals, Education, and Social Sciences for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals". This theme was formulated due to several considerations. First, the symptoms of moral decline that have the potential to destroy the nation. Morals guide humanity towards truth and civilization. The phenomenon of the dehumanization process in the industrial era that pushed people to be part of abstract societies tends to ignore humanity. The education process as a humanitarian system is increasingly marginalized, especially during discussions about the industrial revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0. The conference placed six sub-themes for speakers and participants to share ideas, namely: Social Sciences and Laws, History and Cultural Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies, Morals and Humanities, Policy, Politics, and Communication, Education. The committee has received 195 abstracts from prospective speakers. However, there are only 80 abstracts that are eligible to be presented at this conference.
This book places Indonesia at the forefront of the global debate about the impact of 'disruptive' digital technologies. Digital technology is fast becoming the core of life, work, culture and identity. Yet, while the number of Indonesians using the Internet has followed the upward global trend, some groups "e;the poor, the elderly, women, the less well-educated, people living in remote communities"e; are disadvantaged. This interdisciplinary collection of essays by leading researchers and scholars, as well as e-governance and e-commerce insiders, examines the impact of digitalisation on the media industry, governance, commerce, informal sector employment, education, cybercrime, terrorism, religion, artistic and cultural expression, and much more. It presents groundbreaking analysis of the impact of digitalisation in one of the world's most diverse, geographically vast nations. In weighing arguments about the opportunities and challenges presented by digitalisation, it puts the very idea of a technological 'revolution' into critical perspective.

Di helai-helai halaman novel ini, sejarah penyebaran Islam di Jawa dan Nusantara dimampatkan. Tapi bukan sejarah penyebaran Islam yang lurus dan adem ayem seperti yang biasa kita dengar, melainkan kilasan sejarah yang penuh intrik, pertarungan, dan tentu saja berdarah-darah, antara dua model pemahaman Islam yang bertumpu pada syari’ah dan fiqih dengan sebuah model pemahaman Islam yang lebih bertopang pada laku ibadat yang personal dan penuh mistik: ajaran wahdatul wujud (manunggaling kawulo lan Gusti). Tokoh utama novel ini adalah seorang yang pernah menjadi wakil Kota Kudus untuk belajar agama di tanah Arab. Sepuluh tahun kemudian dia kembali ke Kota Kudus. Dalam sekejap, karena kefasihan...
Sebuah novel remaja yang menegangkan. Tentang sebuah dunia yang tak kasat mata. “Chloe, ayo! Masuklah ke dalam sini, waktumu sudah habis,” kata perempuan itu pelan. Sekarang, aku bisa melihat isi buku itu. Buku itu tebal sekali. Aku lihat ada gambar kamarku di dalamnya. Tapi, apa yang dimaksud perempuan itu dengan berkata waktumu sudah habis. Maksudnya aku harus menyusul Mike? “Iya, waktumu sudah habis. Kamu harus pulang sekarang” katanya. “Hah? Pulang ke mana?” tanyaku lagi, masih bingung. “Rumahmu bukan di sini. Ini semua hanya mimpi,” jawabnya. Suaranya kemudian hilang. Dia sendiri berubah menjadi butiran-butiran debu halus.
