Abstrak: Festival sastra tahunan Winternachten telah membawa penyair terkemuka Indonesia, D. Zawawi Imron, menjalani kontak dengan budaya di Negeri Belanda. Ia mendokumentasikannya melalui puisi-puisi yang terkumpul dalam Refrein di Sudut Dam (2003). Melalui puisi-puisi tersebut kita bisa mengamati bagaimana komunikasi interkultural terjadi. Sebagai subjek puisi-puisi tersebut, yang direpresentasikan sebagai “Aku” dalam teks, sang penyair memaknai dan menilai praktik budaya yang ia temui di luar lokus budayanya. Tindak pemaknaannya dipengaruhi oleh memori kolektif orang Indonesia tentang kolonialisasi Belanda maupun konstruksi identitasnya sebagai Muslim, orang Indonesia, dan Madura. Ia juga mengalami keterkejutan budaya dalam kontak budaya tersebut. Untuk mengantisipasi kondisi itu, ia punya strategi adaptasi. Akan tetapi jika strategi itu gagal, maka ia memilih kembali kepada “budaya-ibu” miliknya. Ia punya banyak pilihan untuk kembali karena iahanyalah seorang turis yang pergi mengunjungi negeri asing. Abstract: The annual literatur festival named Winternachten brought the fame Indonesian poet D.
