Abstract

During the colonial period journeys were acts of conquest, attempts to create order by limiting the world through which one passed by what could be seen and charted. Postcolonial journeys, however, seek the freedom offered by a delimited environment and use it as a site of resistance against an oppressive power. An early Indonesian example, although by no means the earliest, can be found in ZuberUsmans Tamasya dengan Perahu Bugis. Written in 1943, during the Japanese occupation, the short story details a mans trip from Surabaya to Makassar. Although it remains presented in colonial terms, the story offers postcolonial techniques, including an emphasis on the journey itself and the possibility of an unending journey, rendering the colonial techniques used a replay of the colonial journey. Through this, the story succeeds in sending a message that the Japanese overlords were unable to completely subjugate the Indonesian people through colonisation: chaos is still possible.Key words : Zuber Usman, Pascakolonial, Perjalanan pascakolonial

Abstract

The Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies in 1942 did nothing to kill the blossoming nationalism which had swept throughout the colony in since the early 20th century. Although the Japanese viewed Indonesia as a source of resources to fuel their war efforts, training Indonesians to protect this vision, the Indonesians themselves used the situation to modernise their military techniques in preparation for a revolution. Such efforts are evident in Kami, Perempuan, a short stage play from 1943 written by Armijn Pane. In showing the interactions between the spaces of the individual and the nation, he ignores the implications of the new military units intended purpose and, as such, renders it unimportant. He also expresses concern that the individualistic and self-serving ideals promoted by the Dutch colonials would hinder the cause for freedom.Key words : Armijn Pane, Kami Perempuan, Nationalism, PETA.

Abstract

Sejarah cerita pendek (cerpen) di Indonesia masih tidak pasti. Menurut catatan sejarah umum, cerpen baru muncul di wilayah yang kini menjadi Indonesia pada tahun 1920-an, ketika sejumlah karangan diterbitkan dalam majalah Pandji Pustaka; menurut pandangan ini, kumpulan cerpen pertama di Indonesia adalah Teman Doedoek (1936) karya M. Kasim. Namun, sebelum ini sudah banyak cerita pendek berbahasa Melayu yang diterbitkan, termasuk kumpulan cerpen. Namanama pengarangnya, bilamana dicantumkan, tidak banyak diketahui oleh pembaca sekarang. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini menguraikan riwayat hidup tiga orang penulis cerpen yang cukup menonjol pada awal abad kedua puluh, yaitu H. F. R. Kommer, Juvenile Kuo, dan Marco Kartodikromo, sebagai usaha untuk melihat ciri-ciri umum yang mungkin melatarbelakangi usaha orang menggunakan bentuk cerpen yang masih baru pada tahun-tahun itu. Diperlihatkan ragam latar sosio-budaya yang dimiliki penulis-penulis ini, serta pekerjaan pokok mereka sebagai wartawan. Digambarkan pula kedudukan penulis-penulis ini dalam rangka masyarakat kontemporer dan mengapa mereka jarang mendapatkan perhatian dalam pembahasan sejarah sastra Indonesia.Kata kunci: H.F.R. Kommer, Juvenile Kuo, Marco Kartodikromo, Sejarah cerpen
