Abstract

In this essay we present three case studies of Peru, Jamaica and Indonesia to illustrate the use of the concept of race in daily life in relation to labour, popular culture and beauty respectively. These cases demonstrate how the use of the concept of race changes in the transition from a colonial into a postcolonial setting, depending on the role of the state and nation building. In Peru, we see a clear continuation of racialized thinking; thinking and speaking in terms of 'race' is still the norm. In Jamaica we find a process of inversion: the concept of race is maintained as a frame of societal analysis, but blackness is revalidated and has become a prerequisite for national and cultural belonging. In Indonesia racialized categorizations have disappeared almost completely as 'race' has become subjected to the development rhetoric, which just allows limited space for ethnic manifestations. However, discrimination on other rhetorical basis, such as non-citizenship, remains.

Abstract

This paper examines the sociolinguistic situation in the city of Surabaya, by presenting an impression of various phenomena unique to Indonesia's second largest city. A surprisingly little amount of linguistic research has heretofore been carried out on this subject, whereas it transpires from this study that enough intriguing and unique things can be found in this Southeast Asian metropolis, both among its Javanese majority as well as its Madurese and Chinese inhabitants. Due to the lack of earlier relevant publications, this research is largely based on the results of several fieldwork trips, which included the pleasant activities of watching television, interviewing people and making excursions in and around Surabaya to experience how languages are used in daily life. Additionally, concepts such as "language mixing", "slang" and "attitudes towards language" are involved and considered very significant in disentangling the role and function of language in an urban setting.

Abstract

Cultural heritages are things from the past, which are valued by communities in recent time as part of their nation's culture. In reality, among the community members there are problems that arise as a result of diverse perceptions, due to the fact that each perception is based on own interests as is the case with the Site of Sangiran. On the one hand, the Government, as part of the present community, has an idealistic orientation towards the Site of Sangiran as a cultural heritage which unquestionably needs to be protected for the purpose of scientific knowledge and national identity. The local people around Sangiran Site, on the other hand, consider it as their ancestors' area which possesses valuable contents and advantages to improve their economic condition. This conflict and the consequences (fossil protection on the one hand and fossil trade on the other) have so far not been resolved. Meanwhile, the destruction of the Site of Sangiran as the World Cultural Heritage No. 593 is still continuing.

Abstract

A Baduy community in general is still bound by the traditional rules (pikukuh). One of the pikukuh said lojor teu meunang dipotong, pendek teu meunang disambung, which means "what is long might not be cut off, what is short might not be connected". The implicated meaning pikukuh is that which does not change something or anything, or does not accept what is available without increasing or reducing what is available. This also includes not to accept modern goods or goods made in factories. The inner struggle of Baduy Luar is between on the one hand trying to preserve the customs of theirs ancestors, but on the other hand trying to follow the development in modernity and in their environment. This is reflected in issues related to health. If a Baduy falls ill, the dilemma is to choose between modern medical treatment that increasingly is easily accessible with the consequence to violate the local tradition, or to use the traditional herbs of which the local knowledge is decreasing with the consequence that is more difficult to get this kind of therapy.

Abstract

Place has certain connotations that are involved in shaping the identity of an individual or a community. Due to the importance of place or location in identity formation, Cultural Studies has its own area of analysis focusing on the understanding of place, which is cultural geography. Peter Jackson (1989: 23, quoted by Giles and Middleton 1999: 104) defines cultural geography as a study on how cultures are constituted by social practises occurring in certain contexts which are influenced by historical and geographical factors. The discussion of artistic works centred on the role of place in identity formation becomes an interesting analysis. This research focuses on Rudi Soejarwo's film Mendadak Dangdut ('Suddenly Dangdut'). The film's setting is a densely populated district in Jakarta. As the plot centres around this setting, an analysis of how place influences the identity formation of the film's main character becomes significant. The research is made using approaches in cultural geography, along with two key concepts in Cultural Studies, which are identity and representation. It is aimed at finding a new consciousness as to how urban context, especially that related to an understanding of place, takes part in the formation of identity of individuals and communities.

Abstract

On the basis of the theoretical notions of discursive ambience and ambient discourse, this article examines the recent history of language and ethnicity in Banyuwangi in the far east of Java. Over the last three decades (with roots going back to the 1920s and earlier) a redefinition of the language and culture of the "autochthonous" inhabitants of Banyuwangi has been occurring. Their status and constitution have been changing from a variety of Javanese into an autonomous language and ethnicity, called, after the name given to the language or dialect, Osing. At the same time, an idyllic and heroic picture of the regional past is being constructed and maintained. Prominent among the factors and agencies involved in these two ongoing processes is popular media culture. The regency of Banyuwangi and especially its capital (also named Banyuwangi) are being cast - albeit sporadically and incidentally and sometimes controversially - as an Osing region. At the centre of this historical process, people publicly render themselves - also sporadically and temporarily - Banyuwanginese by listening to and especially by singing, in karaoke-style, a genre of pop music with Osing lyrics and musical characteristics perceived as local.

An identity of opposition against urban cosmopolitan setting in Yasmina Khadra's "The attack" (2006) Mamoto, Retno Sukardan

Abstract

Yasmina Khadra, a female name, pseudonym of Muhammed Moulessehoul, an Algerian military officer for 25 years is now a French citizen. John Cullen translates The attack (2006) from French. Rosenau's post-modernist perspective places the Israel-Palestine conflict in a context of social gap. Israel, a First World, whereas Palestine Third World, are both in the Middle East region. Amin Jaafari and his wife, Sihem, a couple of Arab naturalized citizens of Israel, live in urban cosmopolitan city of Tel Aviv. Opposing Amin's success as a surgeon, Sihem is more attracted to fight for the Palestinian liberation for a homeland. Sihem camouflaged herself with prosthetic pregnancy, blew bombs in a Tel Aviv caf , and died. McLeod's postcolonial point of view places Sihem as a hero. Woodward's concept of identity addresses the Jaafaris' troubled identity. Thus, opposition against urban cosmopolitan setting is the central theme as a notion of identity of that of the protagonists responding to their set situation.

Abstract

The urban space offers more challenges to the female self. Two motion pictures, Lost in translation (2003) and The good girl (2002), depict the issue of gender and space by conveying the city as prison for the female characters. This article analyses the urban space and argues that in the two movies, the female characters struggle and eventually create meaning in the urban room. Applying feminism and urban geography in analysing the position of female characters within the city, the paper finds that the two films offer their perception on, and solutions to, the imprisonment of women by the urban environment which is stereotypically masculine.
