Telegram
Putu Wijaya's novel "Telegram," published in 1973, has been heralded as a milestone in Indonesian fiction and as a trendsetter in its synthesis of reality and fantasy. Its first-person narrator is a Balinese journalist living in Jakarta with his adopted daughter. Early on he receives a telegram passing on word that his mother is seriously ill. But nothing is as it seems in "Telegram." As readers are brought in to the stream of consciousness meanderings of this sympathetic yet troubled and thoroughly unreliable narrator, what is real and what is not becomes increasingly difficult to unravel. "Telegram," Putu Wijaya's first novel, provides worthy insight into the author's avowed strategy of creating "mental terror" in his audience. Although unapologetically psychological and disorienting, the text also offers a compelling portrait of Jakarta in the early 1970s and reflections on a Bali that was already in the grips of significant social change, making it useful for students of Indonesian society.
Shadows of Empire
Shadows of Empire explores Javanese shadow theater as a staging area for negotiations between colonial power and indigenous traditions. Charting the shifting boundaries between myth and history in Javanese Mahabharata and Ramayana tales, Laurie J. Sears reveals what happens when these stories move from village performances and palace manuscripts into colonial texts and nationalist journals and, most recently, comic books and novels. Historical, anthropological, and literary in its method and insight, this work offers a dramatic reassessment of both Javanese literary/theatrical production and Dutch scholarship on Southeast Asia. Though Javanese shadow theater (wayang) has existed for hundreds...

Roots of Violence in Indonesia
Jakarta, Sambas, Poso, the Moluccas, West Papua. These simple, geographical names have recently obtained strong associations with mass killing, just as Aceh and East Timor, where large-scale violence has flared up again. Lethal incidents between adjacent villages, or between a petty criminal and the crowd, take place throughout Indonesia. Indonesia is a violent country. Many Indonesia-watchers, both scholars and journalists, explain the violence in terms of the loss of the monopoly on the means of violence by the state since the beginning of the Reformasi in 1998. Others point at the omnipresent remnants of the New Order state (1966-1998), former President Suharto's clan or the army in particular, as the evil genius behind the present bloodshed. The authors in this volume try to explain violence in Indonesia by looking at it in historical perspective.
33 Tokoh Sastra Indonesia Paling Berpengaruh
Peranan sastra, sastrawan, dan tokoh sastra dalam kehidupan kadang dipertanyakan, terutama saat negara sibuk dengan pembangunan ekonomi. Para penguasa sering merasa terganggu oleh sastrawan karena sering bersikap kritis pada pemerintah, politikus, dan pejabat korup. Apa peranan sastra bagi Indonesia? Siapakah tokoh-tokoh sastra Indonesia paling berpengaruh dalam satu abad perjalanan sastra Indonesia? Dalam hal apa dan di kalangan mana mereka berpengaruh? Dan sejauh mana jangkauan pengaruh mereka, baik secara sosial, politik, maupun budaya? Buku 33 Tokoh Sastra Indonesia Paling Berpengaruh ini menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut, sekaligus menunjukkan kalangan mana saja yang berperan dalam sastra dan kebudayaan. Buku ini menawarkan menu baru bagi perbincangan tentang tokoh-tokoh bangsa dari wilayah yang tidak selalu populer tapi menentukan tegak-tidaknya martabat suatu bangsa, yakni tradisi tulis dan kebudayaannya.
Indonesian Literature Vs New Order Orthodoxy
"Perhaps we shall never know the truth about Indonesia's failed (supposedly Communist) coup of 1965. But the consequences were clear: the fall of President Sukarno and rise to power of General Suharto plus violent suppression of all "Communist" organizations. In the process a half million lives were lost." "This book analyses Indonesian literature produced during the New Order period dealing with the events of 1965-1966 and its consequences. It examines the political coercion that people were subjected to and how the authors deal with the taboo subject of the killings. It also considers how the Communist Party was seen and discusses the underlying reasons for why the fictional characters act as they do. Crucial here is the influence of Javanese culture and the significance of President Sukarno's political concept of Nasakom." "This is the first book-length study presenting the alternative version found in Indonesian literature of the events of 1965-1966. It also demonstrates that the concerns and perceptions of Indonesian writers differ sharply from those of Westerners."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
