THE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN QUEER SPECTATORSHIP and QUEER TEXT on RIRI RIZA’S SOE HOK GIE Negosiasi Antara Penonton Queer Dan Teks Queer Pada Soe Hok Gie Karya Riri Riza THE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN QUEER SPECTATORSHIP AND QUEER TEXT ON RIRI RIZA’S SOE HOK GIE Negosiasi antara Penonton Queer dan Teks Queer pada Soe Hok Gie Karya Riri Riza Maimunah Jurusan Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Airlangga, Jalan Dharmawangsa Dalam Selatan 2A, Surabaya, Telepon 031-5035676, Pos-el: [email protected] (Makalah diterima tanggal 1 Februari 2010—Revisi tanggal 14 Mei 2010) Abstract: The emergence of young generation filmmakers who are more confident in depicting gender and sexual issues after the Soeharto era (1998), significantly changes the construction of sexual diversity in 2003—2006 Indonesian films. One of the considerable phenomena is the personal experience and social commitment to support sexual minorities such as gay and lesbian issues. At the same time Indonesian queer communities strive to read the discourse of homosexuality in different way. Physical contact and even intimacy between persons of the same-sex, in both public and private spaces, was common practice in Indonesian cultures, and did not carry any suggestion of homoerotic desire. In this Riri Riza’s film, Soe Hok Gie, however, cinematic technique, narrative and dialogue all contribute to an eroticising of same- sex relationships that is particularly perceptible in cultures that previously regarded physical and emotional interactions between persons of the same-sex as unremarkable. This article based on Benshoff and Griffin’s (2006) theory on queer film. Key Words: queer spectatorship, homoeriticism, Soe Hok Gie Abstrak: Perkembangan film Indonesia setelah tumbangnya rezim Soeharto menunjukkan adanya fenomena di kalangan sutradara muda untuk mengeksplorasi tema tentang gender dan seksualitas. Isu tentang seksual minoritas seperti seksualitas gay dan lesbian adalah salah satu ciri yang cukup menonjol dalam film-film yang diproduksi setelah tahun 2003. Pada saat yang sama, penonton queer (seksualitas nonnormatif) terutama yang berasal dari komunitas queer membaca scene sebuah film terutama yang menampilkan kontak fisik dan keintiman antara orang-orang sesama jenis dengan cara yang baru. Dalam tradisi budaya Indonesia, kontak fisik dan keintiman itu tidak diterjemahkan dalam sebuah hubungan homoerotika . Pembacaan yang berbeda ditunjukkan pembaca dalam film Soe Hok Gie karya Riri Riza. Artikel ini menggunakan teori Queer Film yang dikemukakan oleh Benshoff dan Griffin (2006).

It depicts the various cultures and ethnicities that live together in Semarang. However, this city branding is considered insufficient to meet the tourism target. This research aims to develop a new branding for Semarang as a Cinematic City. This concept is derived from the success of several cities which famous as shooting locations, for example Oxford in England, Seoul in South Korea, and New Zealand as the filming sites of The Lord of the Rings. The main aim of this research is to map out the potential locations for Semarang’s new branding as a Cinematic City. This research is conducted for three popular movies: Gie, Ayat-Ayat Cinta and Soekarno which those movies used Semarang City as the major filming sites. The result found there are three separated areas in Semarang that can be built as the main points of the city branding. Specifically located in the Old Town District there are Srigunting Park, State Financial Building, Cockfighting site, Berok Bridge, Blenduk Church, Jakarta Lloyd Building, and Berok River. In total, there are nine locations that can be developed as a tourism hub which served as a brand attributes of the effort to construct a Semarang as a Cinematic City.

  • 4 Citizenship and Indonesian Ethnic Chinese in Post-1998 Films

But we must quickly add that the Chinese in post-1998 films formal ending of the New Order that year is neither the sole nor the most important cause of the change. The racialized violence against the ethnic Ariel Heryanto Chinese in May 1998 (more to follow below) was a more important factor than President Suharto's resignation in triggering the trend. II!-what appears to be a response to the violence, a new recognition of Chinese Indonesians and their long history of civil predicaments has become one of the most popular features in contemporary literature, fine arts, and films.

  • Exit Suharto: Obituary for a Mediocre Tyrant
    benedict anderson EXIT SUHARTO Obituary for a Mediocre Tyrant n 1971, the indonesian presidential machine informed the public that Suharto and his wife were planning a mauso- leum for themselves on a spur of Mount Lawu, the dormant, 3,000m sacred volcano that lies to the east of the ci-devant royal IJavanese city of Surakarta.1 The site had been carefully chosen, respect- fully situated some metres below the early tombs of the Mangkunegaran dynasty—the second most insignificant of the four small Central Java principalities instituted by colonial authority in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Mrs Tien Suharto—by then already quietly mocked as Tientje (Ten Per Cent)—claimed some connection with the little dynasty which had barely survived the revolution of 1945–49. For Suharto, who always insisted that he was of simple peasant stock, but was rumoured to be the illegitimate son of a Chinese tycoon, the site represented a social step up; and a normal one, since hypergamy was common among the army officer corps in the 1940s and after, and families were traditionally uxorilocal. Still, the construction of this expensive, unprecedented mau- soleum for the future dead had something creepy about it, since Suharto himself was a healthy 50-year-old at the time. I visited Surakarta in the spring of 1972, after the Suharto government had discovered that I had entered the country by roundabout methods and had informed me that I would be deported. After some negotiations, I was allowed two weeks to wind up my affairs and say farewell to friends.

Frederick Associate Professor of History Josep Rota Director of International Studies KARSONO, SONY. M.A. August 2005. International Studies Setting History Straight? Indonesian Historiography in the New Order (274 pp.) Director of Thesis: William H. Frederick This thesis discusses one central problem: What happened to Indonesian historiography in the New Order (1966-98)? To analyze the problem, the author studies the connections between the major themes in his intellectual autobiography and those in the metahistory of the regime. Proceeding in chronological and thematic manner, the thesis comes in three parts. Part One presents the author’s intellectual autobiography, which illustrates how, as a member of the generation of people who grew up in the New Order, he came into contact with history. Part Two examines the genealogy of and the major issues at stake in the post-New Order controversy over the rectification of history. Part Three ends with several concluding observations. First, the historiographical engineering that the New Order committed was not effective. Second, the regime created the tools for people to criticize itself, which shows that it misunderstood its own society. Third, Indonesian contemporary culture is such that people abhor the idea that there is no single truth.

  • Does Multicultural Indonesia Include Its Ethnic Chinese? 257
    256 WacanaWacana Vol. 13Vol. No. 13 2 No. (October 2 (October 2011): 2011) 256—278 DEWI ANGGRAENI, Does multicultural Indonesia include its ethnic Chinese? 257 Does multicultural Indonesia include its ethnic Chinese? DEWI ANGGRAENI Abstract Multiculturalism in Indonesia is predominantly concerned with various regional cultures in the country, which continue to exist, and in some cases, to develop and progress. These cultures meet and interact in the context of a unitary national, Indonesian culture. There are however people who or whose ancestors originate from outside Indonesia, the major ones being Chinese and Arabs. They brought with them the cultures and mores of their lands of origin and to varying degrees integrated them into those of the places they adopted as homes. This article discusses how the Chinese who opted for Indonesian citizenship and nationality, fared and fare in Indonesia’s multicultural society, what problems slowed them in their path, and what lies behind these problems. Keywords Multicultural, cultural plurality, ethnic Chinese, peranakan, indigenous, migration, nationalism, VOC, New Order, Muslim, Confucianism, ancestry, Cheng Ho, pecinan, Chinese captaincy. What is multiculturalism? In Australia, the United States, and Canada, the media started to use the term multiculturalism from the late 1960s to the early 1970s to describe the nature of the society in their respective countries. It is worth noting that Australia, the United States and Canada have been immigrant-receiving nations where immigrants have had a very significant role in nation building and in economic growth. WorldQ.com explains the concept well and defines multiculturalism or DEWI ANGGRAENI is a writer of fiction and non-fiction.

  • Discourse of Chinese Indonesia in Ernest Prakasa’S Show in Stand up Comedy Indonesia Farahdiba R
    Discourse of Chinese Indonesia in Ernest Prakasa’s Show in Stand Up Comedy Indonesia Farahdiba R. Fitri ABSTRACT Chinese problem experienced by Chinese Indonesian has begun to rise in media nowadays, especially in comedy stage. The new category of comedy genre in Indonesia, Stand Up Comedy, has successfully brought these problem into public. Through one of Stand Up Comedians from Chinese Indonesian, Ernest Prakasa, who usually delivers his jokes about his life as Chinese and its cultures, this thesis aims to find out how the discourses of Chinese Indonesian are represented and (re)constructed through Ernest Prakasa’s show in Stand Up Comedy Indonesia through Ernest’s show ‘Ernest Prakasa and The Oriental Bandits’. For the method and theory, the researcher uses the theory of Critical Discourse Analysis-Historical Approach by Ruth Wodak which focuses not only on linguistics aspect of Ernest’s show but also relating it to discourse and historical aspect of Chinese Indonesian. This analysis will be divided into four parts. In the first part, Ernest’s show will be analyzed using five discursive strategies. In the second, third and fourth part, the analysis examines the intertextual and interdiscursive relationship between text (Ernest’s show transcript), genre and discourse. I also relate the text with sociopolitical and historical context of Ernest and Chinese-Indonesian discourse. I found that through Ernest’s jokes, there is strategy of ‘positive-self and negative-other presentation’ which used by Ernest as counter discourse to change the existing dichotomy into Chinese as ‘the self’ and indigene as ‘the other’. Keywords: CDA; Chinese-Indonesian; Discourse; Jokes; Racism; Stand Up Comedy 1.

Wardaya makes an important contribution to scholarly understandings of the anti-communist violence in Indonesia by bringing together scholars with a range of linguistic skills to examine international complicity for this violence. Although the editors agree that Indonesians were most responsible for the violence, they argue that foreign governments were complicit and should share some of the responsibility for encouraging or standing by as the violence unfolded. There are still relatively few detailed scholarly studies of the 1965 violence although this is beginning to change due to the new possibilities for doing oral history on this topic since the fall of the Suharto regime in 1998. Most studies have taken either a local or national approach to understanding the violence in terms of the role of the military and/or a variety of anti-communist coalitions.[1] Bradley Simpson’s Economists with Guns: Authoritarian Development and US-Indonesian Relations, 1960-1968 (2008) and Wardaya’sIndonesia Melawan Amerika: Konflik Perang Dingin 1953-1963 (2008), drawing on recently declassified U.S.

Webb Keane Jr., Chair Professor Nancy K. Florida Professor Rudolf Mrazek Professor Andrew J. Shryock ! © Andrew Marc Conroe _________________________ 2012 For Karen ""!! Acknowledgements A great number of individuals deserve thanks for the support, guidance, insight, and friendship they provided to me throughout this project. My first debt of gratitude is to the former political prisoners, children and grandchildren of former political prisoners, and activists in Jogjakarta who opened their doors to me, welcomed or tolerated my questions, and shared their thoughts and experiences with me; I am admiring of their courage, resilience, and spirited engagement with the complexities and contradictions of their experiences. I would certainly not have made it this far without the love and unflagging support of my family. My parents, Harriet and Henry Conroe, got the ball rolling many years ago through their encouragement, love of learning, and open-mindedness about their son’s international peregrinations. I’ve been lucky to have my brothers, Gabriel and Daniel Conroe, with whom to share adventures, stories, and music over the years. Jack Wittenbrink provided my teenaged self with a first glimmer of understanding of ethnographic sensibilities and the joys of feeling out-of-place. Elizabeth Nicholson’s accounts of shadow puppet theater and komodo dragons first turned my eyes and ears and thoughts in the direction of Indonesia.

    "W e the (Chinese) People": Revisiting the 1945 Constitutional D ebate o n C itizenship Elizabeth Chandra1 On August 1, 2006, the Indonesian government passed a new nationality law to replace the 1958 edition, which was deemed outdated and particularly discriminatory. It took approximately a year for a special commission of lawmakers to draft the new law, with the support and active contribution of various civil-rights groups. As a minority group, Chinese-Indonesians are especially pleased with the new nationality law, as it redefines the legal framework of national belonging. It propounds a new definition of "citizen" (Warga Negara Indonesia, WNI) that no longer distinguishes ethnic Chinese—formerly known as citizens of foreign descent (WNI keturunan asing)— from citizens considered to be indigenous Indonesian (WNI asli), and, as such, promises to encode the very notion of equality that has long eluded the Chinese. The new law blurs the boundary between the supposedly "natural" Indonesians and those who have had to go through cultural naturalization (asimilasi) in order to become "Indonesian." More specifically, it no longer defines "indigenous Indonesians"—the natural citizens,2 so to speak—as those who are native to the state's territorial 11 am grateful to Caroline Hau, Benedict Anderson, Didi Kwartanada, Evi Sutrisno, the HAS, and Indonesia's editors and anonymous reviewers for comments or other types of support in the writing of this essay. Any remaining errors are, however, my own. 2 The nation-state operates on the assumption that there is a natural bond between the state and its people, which in most cases is identical with the so-called "natives," or the majority ethnic group in the nation.
