Abstract

Situated within the contested terrain of colonial architectural inheritance, this article interrogates domestic hybridity in Singaraja, Bali, as a site of spatial negotiation and epistemic dissent. Mobilizing Homi Bhabha's third space as both an analytic and a method, it explores how local undagi engage neoclassical forms not as passive recipients but as strategic agents of cultural rearticulation. Drawing on ethnographic immersion, architectural typology analysis, and dialogic interviews, ten heritage houses are examined as performative loci where mimicry and subversion intertwine. The study reveals that architectural hybridity emerges less as visual synthesis and more as a tactical disruption of colonial order, a vernacular counter-script enacted through space, symbolism, and ritual. In reframing architecture as a site of indigenous theorizing, the discussion foregrounds postcolonial spatiality not as peripheral to heritage discourse but central to its decolonial reorientation.

Abstract

This study analyzes tensions between indigenous cosmology and Indonesian nationalism in the Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali as an expression of Hindu Balinese spatial logic responding to modern nation-building. A qualitative interpretive approach employs semi-structured interviews with architects and historians, along with systematic document analysis. Lefebvre’s spatial triad and Bhabha’s hybridity frame the analysis. Findings show the monument as a sedimented temporal space where mythological and historical narratives coexist without final synthesis. Use of the Samudramanthana epic in nationalist pedagogy produces cultural differentiation rather than a unified identity. Popular adoption of the vernacular name Bajra Sandhi reflects a form of semantic reappropriation privileging religious over nationalist identification. Construction across three gubernatorial administrations indicates ongoing hegemonic negotiation. The study concludes that postcolonial monuments operate as agonistic spaces enabling contestation of meaning while advancing understanding of spatial politics where local cosmology intersects with state projects.
