Travelling the Dutch East Indies
In 1594, the first Dutch ships sailed to ‘the East’. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century, almost five thousand ships were sent to the Dutch East Indies, attracting a growing number of travellers, with trade as one of the major incentives. In addition to Dutch missionary ambitions, progress and technological innovations not only fed the growing hunger for expansion, but also stirred an appetite for adventure. The hope for a life in welfare is mirrored in the growing numbers of passengers travelling ‘East’ in the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. At the same time, Javanese travellers started to explore their homeland as well. Travelling the Dutch East Indies not only offers a diverse picture of travel and a critical perspective on the colonial ideology with which it is associated, but also shows how the collections of Leiden University Libraries can serve as a rich source for all kinds of historical research.
The Art of Environmental Activism in Indonesia
This book analyses the intersections between contemporary art and environmental activism in Indonesia. Exploring how the arts have promoted ecological awareness from the late 1960s to the early 2020s, the book shows how the arts have contributed to societal change and public and political responses to environmental crises.

Jaarboek Bilderdijk 2022
Op reis gaan is voor velen verbonden met het idee van vrijheid, nieuwsgierigheid, ontspanning en het verbreden van je horizon. Voor Bilderdijk gold dat zeker niet; hij verafschuwde het reizen en bleef bij voorkeur thuis. Voor een dichter die zo gehecht was aan thuis als Bilderdijk, was hij opvallend reislustig. In 1795 werd hij uit Nederland verbannen, waarna hij een decennium in Engeland en Duitsland leefde. Over de urenlange tocht per paard door zompige Duitse moerassen uitte hij in zijn brieven en gedichten menige klacht. Dit Jaarboek Bilderdijk gaat niet alleen over aspecten van Bilderdijks reizen, maar bevat ook bijdragen over de Franse reis van Betje Wolff en Aagje Deken, over de huwelijksreis van Willem de Clercq en de reizen van de natuuronderzoeker Carl Ludwig Blume in Nederlands-Indië. Samen geven deze bijdragen een beeld van het reizen in Bilderdijks tijd, de tijd van trekschuit en diligence.
Storied Island
Javanese literature is one of the world’s richest and most unusual literary traditions yet it is little known today outside of Java, Indonesia, and a handful of western universities. With its more than a millennium of documented history, its complex interactions over the centuries with literature written in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Malay and Dutch, its often symbiotic relationship with the performing arts of puppetry and dance, and its own immense creativity and insight, this vastly understudied literature offers a lens to understanding Java’s fascinating world as well as human ingenuity more broadly. The essays in this volume, Storied Island: New Explorations in Javanese Literature, take a fresh look at questions and themes pertaining to Java’s literature, employing new theoretical and methodological lenses.
