Abstract

This paper examines the history of flooding in Tulungagung and its mitigation efforts from the colonial period to post-independence. Tulungagung is known as a flood-prone area due to an imbalance between river capacity and abundant water volume. The Dutch colonial government undertook the first mitigation effort through the Vlugter project, which only managed to overcome flooding for a short time. Subsequently, during the Japanese occupation, the Neyama Tunnel project was built using Rōmusha labor, although this resulted in loss of life. After independence, flooding returned with greater intensity, prompting the Indonesian government to implement a third phase of flood mitigation projects, including constructing the South Tulungagung Tunnel and a dam in the Brantas River Basin. In addition to natural factors, forest encroachment by local communities also exacerbated flooding from mountainous areas. These projects transformed flood-prone areas into fertile agricultural land and improved irrigation systems. Ultimately, this ecological and infrastructural transformation positively impacted regional economic growth, making Tulungagung a significant economic center.Keywords: economy, flood, mitigation, Tulungagung.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the travel novel Indonesia dari Pinggir by Fatris MF that tries to convey to the world the charm of people, culture, and regions in the Eastern part of Indonesia. However, at the same time, the author presents contradictory narratives, irony, negotiation, and efforts to accommodate the voice of the East to be in dialogue and even contrasted with the West. Therefore, the researcher conducted an academic exploration of the author's ambivalent position, simultaneously resisting and perpetuating the colonial discourse. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The data in this research were taken from the novel Indonesia dari Pinggir by Fatris MF, consisting of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and dialog between characters related to the research problem. Using Carl Thompson's concept of travel writing, the researcher found that the strategies of reporting the world and representing the other in this novel reveal the eastern Indonesian people who are often described as "the other" through exotic, primitive, and inferior. A narrative of revealing the self emphasizes the author's personal experience as a critical analysis in revealing the dynamics of the representation of eastern Indonesia in travel narratives.Keywords: colonial discourse, contradictory relation, deviation strategy, Indonesia dari Pinggir, travel literature
