First published in 1922, the novel "Sitti Nurbaya: A Love Unrealized," by Marah Rusli, retains the poignancy that made it a modern Indonesian classic. In terms of its social impact in what was then the Dutch East Indies, "Sitti Nurbaya" may be compared to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the ante-bellum United States. Even to this day, the issues of injustice and indignities suffered by women that this novel raised continue to be debated throughout the country. Rich in description, dense with ironic foreboding and the inexorable workings of fate, Sitti Nurbaya is Samsu and "Sitti Nurbaya"'s ill-fated love story. But in their wishes, the reader might also also discern young people's tantalizing dream of what the East Indies society might become, or could become, if only local genius, embodied in a modernizing youth emancipated from stifling traditions, could fuse with European genius in mutual respect and admiration. This too was, of course, a dream never to be realized, and one perhaps which never could have been realized.

Sastra tidak dibawa malaikat dari langit. Sastra tidak datang begitu saja. Ia lahir melalui proses pergulatan sastrawan dengan kondisi sosial—budaya zamannya. Maka, membaca karya sastra hakikatnya membaca keadaan masyarakat dan budaya yang terungkap dalam karya itu. Jadi, sastra menyimpan pemikiran sastrawannya juga. Perjalanan sejarah sastra Indonesia, tidak dapat dilepaskan dari peranan Balai Pustaka. Khazanah kesusastraan yang diterbitkan Balai Pustaka ibarat harta kebudayaan bangsa. Maka, membaca seri sastra adiluhung yang diterbitkan Balai Pustaka ini, tidak hanya sebagai usaha menelusuri kembali jejak masa lalu tentang kondisi sosial budaya zamannya, tetapi juga coba menelisik pemikiran pengarangnya sekaligus. Dengan begitu, kita akan menemukan banyak hal yang sekarang ini mungkin hanya ada dalam catatan sejarah. Dengan pemahaman itu, pembelajaran sastra di sekolah dengan memanfaatkan seri sastra adiluhung ini, penting artinya. Kita akan mengetahui jejak sastra Indonesia ke belakang dan perjalanannya sampai ke masa sekarang. Kita juga dapat menyentuh bidang lain: bahasa, sejarah, sosiologi, antropologi, geografi, bahkan juga politik yang berlaku pada waktu itu. Memang, dalam karya sastra—bidang itu— disinggung untuk kepentingan jalinan cerita. Tetapi justru di situlah, sisi lain makna karya sastra menjelma dokumen sosiologis, historis, dan bidang-bidang yang disebutkan tadi. Sekadar menyebut beberapa contoh, simaklah kegelisahan Sitti Nurbaya mengenai statusnya sebagai perempuan pribumi. Bukankah harapannya untuk dapat bersekolah seperti ada benang merahnya dengan semangat Kartini atau Dewi Sartika di Bandung; bukankah pada masa itu perempuan-perempuan lainnya juga menyuarakan pentingnya sekolah bagi kaum perempuan? Perhatikan juga kisah percintaan Hanafi dan Corrie du Busse dalam Salah Asuhan. Untuk dapat menikah dengan Corrie, seorang Indo (Prancis), sebagai pribumi, Hanafi harus memperoleh status persamaan hak. Bukankah persoalan itu berkaitan dengan politik kolonial Belanda? Bagaimana pula dengan Dari Ave Maria ke Jalan Lain ke Roma karya Idrus yang banyak berkisah tentang keadaan zaman Jepang? Penderitaan dan semangat revolusi yang terungkap di sana seperti memberi inspirasi kepada kita tentang pentingnya nasionalisme. Jelaslah, banyak aspek lain yang terkandung dalam sastra. Oleh karena itu, membaca seri sastra adiluhung laksana memandang panorama kekayaan budaya masa lalu kita. Ia dapat digunakan pula sebagai cermin tentang perjalanan budaya dan pemikiran bangsa Indonesia. Kehadiran kembali seri sastra adiluhung, sungguh menawarkan banyak hal bagi pembaca sekarang. Balai Pustaka sengaja menampilkannya dengan wajah baru, agar pembaca dapat menikmatinya dengan semangat baru, perspektif atau sudut pandang baru, dan pemaknaan yang juga baru. Dengan demikian, seri sastra adiluhung ini dapat menjadi saksi bicara tentang masa lalu sejarah bangsa Indonesia untuk menatap masa depan yang lebih cemerlang. Selamat menikmati!

This volume explores the theoretical foundations of postcolonial translation in settings as diverse as Malaysia, Ireland, India and South America. Changing the Terms examines stimulating links that are currently being forged between linguistics, literature and cultural theory. In doing so, the authors probe complex sequences of intercultural contact, fusion and breach. The impact that history and politics have had on the role of translation in the evolution of literary and cultural relations is investigated in fascinating detail. Published in English.

Beijing-based writer Lin Zhe's novel Waipode Gucheng, on which this translation is faithfully based, paints an unforgettable picture of an "ordinary" family caught up in the maelstrom that was China's most recent century. Her narrative ranges across the entire length of China, to California and back again, to the battlefields of the Anti-Japanese War of Resistance and the brutal "struggle" sessions of the Cultural Revolution. But it always returns to this family's home in Old Town, that archetypical, old-fashioned, and vanishing place steeped in the traditions of South China. Ms. Lin examines the inner strength that sustains people's lives in their darkest hours, when religious and political faith falter. And yet, a vein of irony and droll humor runs through this powerful story. Lin Zhe's novel may be understood as a love story, memoir, history, or allegory. For the non-Chinese reader it provides a rare and moving insight into Chinese lives in a century of fearsome upheaval.

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.

Scholars of language ideology have encouraged us to reflect on and explore where social categories come from, how they have been reproduced, and whether and to what extent they are relevant to everyday interactional practices. Taking up on these issues, this book focuses on how ethnicity has been semiotically constructed, valued, and reproduced in Indonesia since Dutch colonial times, and how this category is drawn upon in everyday talk. In doing so, this book also seeks to engage with scholarship on superdiversity while highlighting some points of engagement with work on ideas about community. The book draws upon a broad range of scholarship on Indonesia, recordings of Indonesian television from the mid-1990s onwards, and recordings of the talk of Indonesian students living in Japan. It is argued that some of the main mechanisms for the reproduction and revaluation of ethnicity and its links with linguistic form include waves of technological innovations that bring people into contact (e.g. changes in transportation infrastructure, introduction of print media, television, radio, the internet, etc.), and the increasing use of one-to-many participation frameworks such as school classrooms and the mass media. In examining the talk of sojourning Indonesians the book goes on to explore how ideologies about ethnicity are used to establish and maintain convivial social relations while in Japan. Maintaining such relationships is not a trivial thing and it is argued that the pursuit of conviviality is an important practice because of its relationship with broader concerns about eking out a living.

Engineers Of Happy Land written by Rudolf Mrázek and has been published by Princeton University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-06-05 with Social Science categories.
Based on close reading of historical documents--poetry as much as statistics--and focused on the conceptualization of technology, this book is an unconventional evocation of late colonial Netherlands East Indies (today Indonesia). In considering technology and the ways that people use and think about things, Rudolf Mrázek invents an original way to talk about freedom, colonialism, nationalism, literature, revolution, and human nature. The central chapters comprise vignettes and take up, in turn, transportation (from shoes to road-building to motorcycle clubs), architecture (from prison construction to home air-conditioning), optical technologies (from photography to fingerprinting), clothing and fashion, and the introduction of radio and radio stations. The text clusters around a group of fascinating recurring characters representing colonialism, nationalism, and the awkward, inevitable presence of the European cultural, intellectual, and political avant-garde: Tillema, the pharmacist-author of Kromoblanda; the explorer/engineer IJzerman; the "Javanese princess" Kartina; the Indonesia nationalist journalist Mas Marco; the Dutch novelist Couperus; the Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer; and Dutch left-wing liberal Wim Wertheim and his wife. In colonial Indies, as elsewhere, people employed what Proust called "remembering" and what Heidegger called "thinging" to sense and make sense of the world. In using this observation to approach Indonesian society, Mrázek captures that society off balance, allowing us to see it in unfamiliar positions. The result is a singular work with surprises for readers throughout the social sciences, not least those interested in Southeast Asia or colonialism more broadly.
