Heirs to World Culture
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.
Buried Histories
In 1965–66, army-organized massacres claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of supporters of the Communist Party of Indonesia. Very few of these atrocities have been studied in any detail, and answers to basic questions remain unclear. What was the relationship between the army and civilian militias? How could the perpetrators come to view unarmed individuals as dangerous enemies of the nation? Why did Communist Party supporters, who numbered in the millions, not resist? Drawing upon years of research and interviews with survivors, Buried Histories is an impressive contribution to the literature on genocide and mass atrocity, crucially addressing the topics of media, military organization, economic interests, and resistance.
Identity and Pleasure
Identity and Pleasure: The Politics of Indonesian Screen Culture critically examines what media and screen culture reveal about the ways urban-based Indonesians attempted to redefine their identity in the first decade of this century. Through a richly nuanced analysis of expressions and representations found in screen culture (cinema, television and social media), it analyses the waves of energy and optimism, and the disillusionment, disorientation and despair, that arose in the power vacuum that followed the dramatic collapse of the militaristic New Order government. While in-depth analyses of identity and political contestation within the nation are the focus of the book, trans-national engagements and global dimensions are a significant part of the story in each chapter. The author focuses on contemporary cultural politics in Indonesia, but each chapter contextualizes current circumstances by setting them within a broader historical perspective.
Unmarked Graves
The anti-communist violence that swept across Indonesia in 1965–66 produced a particularly high death toll in East Java. It also transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of survivors, who faced decades of persecution, imprisonment and violence. In this book, Vannessa Hearman examines the human cost and community impact of the violence on people from different sides of the political divide. Her major contribution is an examination of the experiences of people on the political Left. Drawing on interviews, archival records, and government and military reports, she traces the lives of a number of individuals, following their efforts to build a base for resistance in the South Blitar area...
Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference
How Arabic influenced the evolution of vernacular literatures and anticolonial thought in Egypt, Indonesia, and Senegal Sacred Language, Vernacular Difference offers a new understanding of Arabic’s global position as the basis for comparing cultural and literary histories in countries separated by vast distances. By tracing controversies over the use of Arabic in three countries with distinct colonial legacies, Egypt, Indonesia, and Senegal, the book presents a new approach to the study of postcolonial literatures, anticolonial nationalisms, and the global circulation of pluralist ideas. Annette Damayanti Lienau presents the largely untold story of how Arabic, often understood in Africa an...

Gugur Merah
Dalam tradisi kesusasteraan Lekra, puisi adalah anak bungsu yang istimewa. Bahkan, lebih istimewa ketimbang novel. Puisi pulalah yang maju ke depan untuk pertama kali ketika Badan Penerbitan Lekra mentas pertama kali dengan menerbitkan sekaligus empat buku puisi yang "tak terlalu besar dan tebal, tapi mungil2 dan menarik. Menarik, bukan hanja karena isinya, tetapi djuga karena keempat buku itu dirias oleh 4 orang pelukis kita, jaitu S. Mardjo, Wim Nirahua, Piranto Yapuang, dan Sudono Kusumo." Keistimewaan yang lain: selain membawa kertas-kertas pidato, si anak bungsu tersayang inilah satu-satunya produk kebudayaan yang dipersembahkan oleh delegasi sastrawan Indonesia untuk Konferensi Sastraw...
Arsipelago
In the context of the discourse around sovereignty in nation states, politics of claim and politics of access are actually the basis of the processes at work in documentation and documenting the arts and culture of the Indonesian nation state, particularly in its position as a former colony that continues to change, and has never xed a speci c identity. Politics of claim and politics of access should be considered within the framework of a cultural strategy for post-colonial nation states, which has perspectives, methodologies and aligned ideological positions that clearly address social welfare and justice. This is how the state is able to ensure the continuity and perpetuation of cultural practices and cultural products, created and passed down by a society, encouraging it to remain embedded and embodied in recycling the advances of the era. In this perspective, politics of claim and ac- cess assumed by the state are located as work that sees the position of the archive and the work of archiving arts and culture not as oriented to products, but to processes. The basic motivation is not for an economic political project, but for a dynamic cultural project.
