Abstract

Dealing with pandemics has never been a new issue, seen from the perspective of the history of mankind. It was a manifestation of l’histoire se répète. As an example, a few centuries prior to the Black Death and Cholera Outbreak, Galvao wrote that a respiratory disease had broken out in Ternate around 1553, while De Clercq mentioned a deadly plague in Bacan throughout 1706-1709. Traditionally, these issues were treated as a result of badly conducted supernatural rituals. They opted for herbal treatments, and exorcism, and even migrated to the hinterland as an act of self-quarantine. Today, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic and reached the islands of North Maluku province, with Ternate as the epicentrum of the outbreak. However, there has been a resolution, which facilitates another traditionally crafted effort, such as Liliyan, Barifola, and Rera, based on the oral tradition mentioned in Dora Bololo. We seek to discover how far cultural aspect would affect the economic and social life of the locals, as well as in what domain tradition and local practice should contribute to the current situation. Thus, this research aims to understand and analyze such a combination of traditionally generated solutions within a current scientific framework, especially on how history, anthropology, as well as archival, and memory study could understand the living aspect of the locals and therefore apply Vansina’s (1985) approach in oral tradition as historical sources.

Abstract

This paper analyzes transnationalism as the result of globalization in human mobility, which it has summoned new insecurities, especially when international migration as the excess of transnationalism leads to a burst of issues on the sea border, such as influx of migration, asylum seeker, refugees, and even transnational crimes. Thus, it is very important for Indonesia as a growing maritime state to put more attention to the matter, especially to the eastern part of the archipelago, where transnationalism brings different implication toward nationalism of its people. Through historical methodology and perspective, this article discusses relevant issues to be reflected into current situation and the future, in which it could lead to a more sustainable solution and a further observation toward what it means to be a part of Indonesia itself, to fulfill the need of rephrasing the means of our borders.

Abstract

This article examines the construction of Indigenous women’s identities in the Dutch East Indies press between 1930 and 1935, focusing on two central issues that preoccupied women at the time: education and health. The implementation of the Ethical Policy heightened women’s awareness of their place within colonial society, prompting them to articulate their ideas through the printed media. Among the most significant platforms were Sedar and Pedoman Isteri. This study investigates how these publications represented women’s roles and positions in relation to education and health, and argues that—despite stemming from distinct ideological orientations—both played equally vital roles in advancing Indonesian women’s causes. By employing historical methods and qualitative analysis of primary sources, particularly articles from Sedar and Pedoman Isteri, this research adopts Judith Butler’s gender performativity framework to interpret the findings. The analysis reveals that Sedar, as a progressive outlet, emphasized education as a pathway to liberating women from patriarchal structures, while Pedoman Isteri reinforced domestic roles through narratives on health and family welfare. Rather than negating one another, these approaches reflect the diversity of strategies women employed to negotiate their place in the colonial public sphere. The study underscores that the colonial press functioned as a crucial arena for women to shape and contest their identities, and demonstrates that women’s historical agency was multiple and complex, rather than singular. By tracing these dynamics, this research offers a historical lens through which to understand the enduring struggles over women’s access to education and health in Indonesia today.
