Abstract

The Indonesian Cultural Festival (FKI) is an annual activity organised by Indonesian students in Guilin, China. This annual event features various forms of Indonesian cultural performance, including dance, music, drama, traditional games, and culinary arts. The festival not only showcases Indonesian art and tradition, but also creates a space for interaction that facilitates cultural exchange. This study examines the model of cultural appropriation through the Indonesian Cultural Festival in Guilin, China. The theoretical framework draws on Richard Schechner's Performance Theory and Homi Bhabha's concept of the "third space," or the space in-between. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to international students who had attended or watched the event. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling, selected on the basis of respondent availability. The results of the study show that the festival has a considerable influence in fostering curiosity, understanding, and appreciation for Indonesian culture. Furthermore, this activity also strengthens relationships and interactions among international students, and opens a broader space for cross-cultural communication.

Abstract

Soe Tjen Marching’s Dari Dalam Kubur portrays the experiences of survivors of the 1965 tragedy and the ethnic discrimination faced by Chinese Indonesians. Focusing on trauma and memory, this study examines how the novel represents survivors’ collective memory and state-driven discrimination through the lens of Lucien Goldmann’s genetic structuralism. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study reveals a persistent tension between remembering and forgetting, reflecting the enforced silence imposed on survivors. Discrimination against Chinese Indonesians is depicted as systematic oppression reinforced through social and institutional segregation. The findings demonstrate how literary narratives function as sites of collective memory by establishing homological relationships between textual structures and socio-historical realities. The study concludes that Dari Dalam Kubur articulates a collective worldview in which memory operates as a form of resistance and identity functions as a source of dignity.
