Core Subject :
Indonesian Journal of Politics and Literary Studies is a double blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes original research articles and critical studies at the intersection of politics, literature, and cultural discourse. This journal is published quarterly as a platform for the dissemination of theoretical, empirical, and interdisciplinary findings that explore how literary texts, narratives, and cultural productions engage with political ideas, power relations, ideologies, and socio-historical contexts. It addresses a broad range of topics, including but not limited to political criticism in literature, literary representations of power and ideology, postcolonial and ideological studies, literature and nationalism, resistance and identity in literary texts, cultural and political discourse, narrative politics, and language-centered approaches to political and literary phenomena across historical and contemporary contexts.

Abstract

Background: Contemporary Indonesian poetry increasingly circulates through digital platforms where literary dissent is shaped not only by textual form but also by visibility, shareability, comment infrastructures, and paratextual framing. Objective: This study examines how contemporary Indonesian poetry transforms dissent from a textual mode of critique into a platform-mediated public practice. Method: Using qualitative digital literary discourse analysis, this study analyses thirteen public poetry posts, five secondary scholarly sources, and three contextual sources through critical dissent discourse analysis, platform visibility mapping, and multimodal-paratextual semiotic analysis. Results: Findings show that poetic dissent is concentrated around state power, democracy, violence, memory, political economy, regional precarity, and bodily autonomy, but it is articulated through metaphor, satire, testimony, mourning, allegory, and symbolic indirection rather than direct ideological declaration. Findings also show that platform visibility is uneven: all poems are technically shareable, yet only some generate visible reader interaction or cross-platform traces. Implication: Moreover, editorial framing, authorial biography, regional markers, visual cues, and performance references shape how dissent becomes publicly readable. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in reframing contemporary Indonesian poetry as mediated cultural action in which literary form, algorithmic circulation, and paratextual publicness jointly configure political meaning.

Abstract

Background: Contemporary Indonesian literary studies has increasingly addressed nationalism, memory, gender, mobility, and political resistance, yet literature from Eastern Indonesia remains insufficiently theorised as a site where peripheral modernities and uneven citizenship are narratively produced. Objective: This study examines how contemporary literary works set in Papua, Maluku, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Maluku Utara, Sulawesi Tenggara, and Sulawesi Selatan represent modernity, belonging, and citizenship beyond capital-centred national imagination. Method: This study applies qualitative literary analysis to a selected corpus of Eastern Indonesian fiction, supported by postcolonial literary criticism, peripheral modernity, citizenship studies, and narrative counter-cartography. Results: Findings show that peripheral modernity is narrated through fragile roads, maritime routes, schools, markets, borders, commodities, and uneven institutional access rather than through simple absence or developmental delay. Findings also indicate that citizenship appears as an embodied and locally mediated condition shaped by gender, customary authority, bureaucracy, education, violence memory, and community obligation. Implication: Findings further demonstrate that narrative form remaps Indonesia through island memory, village chronotopes, women’s testimony, child focalisation, ritual temporality, and maritime spatiality. Novelty: This study contributes a counter-cartographic framework for reading Eastern Indonesian literature as a critical archive of unequal national belonging.
