Abstract

This paper discusses the lives of Indonesian women within the confines of family and community amidst the strengthening of programs pertaining to women’s empowerment that were launched by the New Order administration from 1966 to 1998. The significant questions this research addresses are: 1) How was the empowerment programs conducted? and 2) How did the programs affect the lives of women within their families and communities. The results of this study showed that during the New Order administration, it became apparent that women lost their autonomy as burdens were stacked on them within their families and communities. Through empowerment programs, women were expected to be robust and independent; however, because the New Order programs were structurally designed to be heavily centralized, they instead reinforced the existing traditional social construction. As the women subsequently bore heavy burdens to thrive accomplishment in both familial and communal spheres, the introduced programs worked instead to repressively narrow women’s chances for autonomy. This historical research study utilized a variety of data in the forms of documents, both archival or memoir types.

Abstract

Parmalim is a belief system of the Batak people that predates the arrival of Islam or Christianity. This belief system was once prominent in the resistance against colonialism during the era of Sisingamangaraja XII, known as the Parhudamdam movement. This paper aims to examine how Parmalim, which has cultural ties to the Batak people, was once prominent in its historical reality and well-established by 1920 but faced rejection since independence despite not being critical of its traditions. The method used is the historical method. The collection of sources comes from the colonial and post-colonial periods. Verification is done by testing the validity of these sources. Meanwhile, interpretation is done through discourse analysis to reveal the meaning of various sources. The results show that there are differences in viewing Parmalim; that as followers of a belief system, they are rejected by adherents of Abrahamic religions, but their cultural traditions are recognized as a pure form of Batak culture.

Abstract

Broadly speaking, both laborers (or coolies) and slaves served as manual workers engaged in arduous physical tasks. However, distinctions arise not only from the historical origins of these terms but also from their definitions and conceptual frameworks. Key differences between laborers and slaves pertain to social status, identity, rights and obligations, interpersonal relationships with employers, and the nature of treatment received. Despite these fundamental differences, the practical reality often diverged. There are instances where laborers or coolies were treated in ways akin to slaves. This article aims to discuss and examine the extent to which such treatment was experienced by plantation workers in the Dutch colonial era, known as contract coolies, in the East Sumatra region. The issue is reconstructed and analyzed through a historical lens, spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, marked by the establishment of plantation centers in the Dutch East Indies by foreign entrepreneurs, including those in East Sumatra. Examination of available historical sources reveals that a portion of these contract coolies endured harsh and inhumane treatment, mirroring the experiences of slaves in various other contexts.

Abstract

The emergence of a new elite in Minangkabau, flourishing in the modern milieu of Bukittinggi city at the beginning of the 20th century, represents a pivotal case study in the dynamics of colonial modernity. These individuals distinguished themselves in the economic and intellectual domains, as well as in the authentication of symbolic status through lifestyle emulation of the Dutch. However, their integration into the social circles of both traditional and modern communities in Bukittinggi was met with limited acceptance. This phenomenon underscores a society that embraced novel perspectives on the colonial world without succumbing to colonialist ideologies. This raises pertinent inquiries: who were these new elites? Why did they seek recognition within their modern context in Bukittinggi despite existing within a reality of modernity? And what was the nature of the inclusivity process for these new elites as modernists, without becoming colonialists? This discourse elucidates the process by which the new Minangkabau elite negotiated colonial modernity in Bukittinggi between 1905 and 1942. The findings reveal that the successful negotiation of colonial modernity by the new Minangkabau elite served as a mode of restraint as well as alienation from the social realities of Bukittinggi. Firstly, the negotiation facilitated broader participatory avenues for the new elite of Minangkabau in early 20th-century Bukittinggi. Secondly, it paved the way for them to independently craft mediums of intellectual and inclusive modernity. Thirdly, this negotiation led to the creation of new cultural forms that amalgamated three essential values of early 20th century Bukittinggi: tradition, colonialism, and Islam.

Abstract

This article discusses environmental postcolonialism practices and the impacts on the environment and indigenous people in William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and Fatris MF's Merobek Sumatra. Go Down, Moses describes the story of land grabbing from the Chickasaw and Choctaw communities and land conversion into cotton plantations in the Southern United States. On the other hand, Fatris MF's Merobek Sumatra captures the expropriation of the customs territory of Anak Dalam communities and land conversion to oil palm plantations in Sumatra. The writers apply the postcolonial ecocriticism approach by Huggan and Tiffin. The data is analyzed through the qualitative method and the result is presented using the descriptive method. The result of the analysis found that there are three practices of environmental postcolonialism in Go Down, Moses and Merobek Sumatra, which are: (1) Dualistic thinking on environment; (2) Land grabbing from indigenous communities, and (3) Nature exploitation. It is also found that these practices have negative impacts on nature and the indigenous people as represented in both books.

Abstract

Post truth relates to circumstances whereby objective facts are less influential in shaping the opinion of the public, rather appealing to personal belief and emotion. Post truth era is bordering a blurry line between lies and truths, dishonesty and honesty, nonfiction and fiction. The entire phenomenon of post truth is about an individual’s opinion being worth more than the facts. As such, the present paper seeks to understand new insights or perspectives in literary criticism in the post truth era. The criticism of the literature was always based on broad schools of thoughts/theories, which were employed for many centuries. Some of the traditional approaches the paper highlights include: formalistic criticism, biographical criticism, historical criticism, gender criticism, psychological criticism, sociological criticism, mythological criticism, reader-response criticism, and deconstructionist criticism. Equally, the paper extensively analyzes some of the new perspectives or insights to literary criticism in the post truth era: reflective approach, didactic approach, partisan approach, and religious approach. In reflective approach to literature criticism in the post truth era, the meaning in the literature is reflected by the outside of its own being. On the other hand, in didactic approach to literature criticism, truth and meaning is taught in the literature. Moreover, in partisan approach to literature criticism, there is the truthful meaning that is already known and can be found in the literature. Lastly, in the religious approach to literature criticism in post truth era, the meaning and truth is the literature itself, while the outside world has nothing to do with it.
