As a former Dutch colony, the original and highly characteristic street plan of the historic center remains intact. Its buildings illustrate the gradual fusion of Dutch architectural influence with traditional local techniques and materials. The original Dutch architecture is seen more strongly in the older buildings, as the local influences crept in over the years to complement the Dutch style. This has led to the area being designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The NYE celebration, also known as “Owru Yari” in the local dialect does not only mean partying but a time of spending time with family and friends and it is a cultural experience. This “Owru Yari” experience was, as usual, one that I looked forward to every single year. Spending time with my family is something that means a lot to me. Going from event to event, enjoying live bands performances and seeing everyone together having a great time is for sure heartwarming to me. The most enjoyable time I had during my stay was on NYE and being part of the annual street party and firework celebrations.

Sharing their culture and the beautiful waters, with all who come to their villages, is the reason people are willing to pay a good price for the tours to the interior. Not only are the villagers kind and loving, they have good rhythm too. Singing old songs, playing the drums while others perform traditional dances makes a visitor feel right

  • The Contribution of Javanese Pharmacognosy to Suriname’S Traditional Medicinal Pharmacopeia: Part 1 Dennis R.A
    Chapter The Contribution of Javanese Pharmacognosy to Suriname’s Traditional Medicinal Pharmacopeia: Part 1 Dennis R.A. Mans, Priscilla Friperson, Meryll Djotaroeno and Jennifer Pawirodihardjo Abstract The Republic of Suriname (South America) is among the culturally, ethnically, and religiously most diverse countries in the world. Suriname’s population of about 600,000 consists of peoples from all continents including the Javanese who arrived in the country between 1890 and 1939 as indentured laborers to work on sugar cane plantations. After expiration of their five-year contract, some Javanese returned to Indonesia while others migrated to The Netherlands (the former colonial master of both Suriname and Indonesia), but many settled in Suriname. Today, the Javanese community of about 80,000 has been integrated well in Suriname but has preserved many of their traditions and rituals. This holds true for their language, religion, cul- tural expressions, and forms of entertainment. The Javanese have also maintained their traditional medical practices that are based on Jamu. Jamu has its origin in the Mataram Kingdom era in ancient Java, some 1300 years ago, and is mostly based on a variety of plant species. The many Jamu products are called jamus. The first part of this chapter presents a brief background of Suriname, addresses the history of the Surinamese Javanese as well as some of the religious and cultural expressions of this group, focuses on Jamu, and comprehensively deals with four medicinal plants that are commonly used by the Javanese. The second part of this chapter continues with an equally extensive narrative of six more such plants and concludes with a few remarks on the contribution of Javanese jamus to Suriname’s traditional medicinal pharmacopeia.

The culture heritage of Surinamese has an inherent connection with cultural diversity, identity and multi ethnicity of the population. An important aspect of the cultural identity of ethnic groups is the identification with the Surinamese territory and geographical names on the map of Suriname. The country has though the ruling colonial and natural phenomena (climate and vegetation) a significant culture and nature heritage resources to build that are indispensable for life and an inspiration for local identity, but also for international tourism. The influence of Europe (particularly the Netherlands), Africa, India and Indonesia is noticeable in the cultural heritage through monuments, traditions, historical events, street names, names of geographical places: rivers, mountains, waterfalls and infrastructure on the map of Suriname. In 2000 Suriname was placed on the natural heritage list of UNESCO (by protecting 1.6 million hectar of virgin tropical rain forest of the Central Suriname Nature Reserve) and in 2002 on the list of cultural heritage, to address the protection of 250 historic buildings of the old town of the country Paramaribo.

Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication WIDJANARKO, PUTUT, Ph.D., June 2007, Telecommunications HOMELAND, IDENTITY AND MEDIA: A STUDY OF INDONESIAN TRANSNATIONAL MUSLIMS IN NEW YORK CITY (415 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel This dissertation describes an attempt to understand the complex process of how Indonesian Muslims in New York City negotiate their cultural identities. This dissertation gravitates around the concept of transnationalism, which perceives that contemporary immigrants form and maintain multi-stranded social and cultural transnational links to the societies of the country of origin, chiefly thanks to advancement of media, communication and transportation technologies. Applying the non-obvious multi-sited ethnography approach (Marcus, 1999), I explore the dynamic process of how the deterritorialized Indonesians strive to reterritorialize their culture in the new cultural context, such as manifested in the establishment of the Indonesian mosque with its various Islamic activities and the reenactment of Indonesian cultural practices. Subsequently I explain how various forms of media are produced, circulated, and consumed in the Indonesian Muslim community. The study concludes with several important points.

    Media Use and Mediatization of Transnational Political Participation: The Case of Transnational Indonesians in the United States A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Yearry P. Setianto August 2016 © 2016 Yearry P. Setianto. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Media Use and Mediatization of Transnational Political Participation: The Case of Transnational Indonesians in the United States by YEARRY P. SETIANTO has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Drew O. McDaniel Professor of Media Arts and Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract SETIANTO, YEARRY P., Ph.D., August 2016, Media Arts Studies Media Use and Mediatization of Transnational Political Participation: The Case of Transnational Indonesians in the United States Director of Dissertation: Drew O. McDaniel This dissertation explores the interplay between diasporic life of transnational Indonesians in the United States and their use of media to engage in the long-distance politics of their home country. It aims to investigate how, and to what extent, that people in diaspora use media to perform mediatization of transnational-homeland politics. In this dissertation, I also exemplified the theory of mediatization of politics by examining the appropriation of various media platforms by Indonesian diaspora in two metropolitan areas, Washington, D. C. and Los Angeles, both in their electoral and non-electoral political engagement. Utilizing a multi-sited media ethnographic, which includes ten months of participant observations and thirty in-depth interviews between October 2014 and July 2015, I examine the complexity of Indonesian diaspora’s relationship with media and transnational politics.
