This is further complicated by the various illustrated album manufacturers adopting different formats and often providing multiple single spaces for se tenant issues.

European album manufacturers are known for favouring vertical formats when horizontal formats, preferred by many collectors, also exist. SG lists only some of the formats. Michel lists most.

    SETTING HISTORY STRAIGHT? INDONESIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE NEW ORDER A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Sony Karsono August 2005 This thesis entitled SETTING HISTORY STRAIGHT? INDONESIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE NEW ORDER by Sony Karsono has been approved for the Department of Southeast Asian Studies and the Center for International Studies by William H. 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.

    A LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF TOURIST SPACES: MULTILINGUAL SIGNS IN SURABAYA AND MOJOKERTO’S HERITAGE SITES THESIS BY: MAULIDIA ZAHROTUL HAMDIYAH REG. NUMBER A73215111 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY OF SUNAN AMPEL SURABAYA 2019 ABSTRACT Hamdiyah, Maulidia Zahrotul. (2019). A linguistic Landscape of Tourist Spaces: Multilingual Signs in Surabaya and Mojokerto’s Heritage Sites. English Department, UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Advisor: Murni Fidiyanti, M.A. Keywords: Linguistic Landscape, Multilingualism, Tourist Space, Heritage Sites, Capital City and Provincial Town This thesis examines a linguistic landscape and multilingualism of Surabaya and Mojokerto’s heritage sites. This research aims to find out if the different areas of tourist spaces can affect the use of linguistic landscape. It examined the language used in the sign, the function displayed by the sign, and the purpose of displaying particular language on the sign. The theoretical framework used in this study is Landry and Bourhis’s theory which provides the definition of linguistic landscape and anything that is categorized as linguistic landscape. Besides, Spolsky and Coopers’ theory is also employed to analyze the language used in the sign and the function of the sign. As the methodology, the researcher used qualitative and quantitative method in this research. The applied method has helped the researcher reach the objectives of the study by gaining 689 pictures of signs which consist of monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual signs. The researcher also found nine languages used in four heritage sites: Indonesian, English, Javanese, Arabic, Dutch, Latin, Sansekerta, Chinese, and Maduranese. Six categories are provided according to the function of the sign: directional signs, instructional signs, warning notices and prohibitions, building names, informative signs, and advertising sign.

Leveraging Western Bloc as well as Sino-Soviet interest in the new nation, Indonesia’s president, Sukarno, simultaneously secured economic aid and other support from both sides while maintaining a precarious domestic balance of power between the right-wing of the Army and the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). However, by the early 1960s, as Sukarno began to take a more aggressive anti-imperialist posture toward the West, power began to shift in favor of the PKI and its radical nationalist allies. Indonesia’s Cold War “slide toward communism,” long a troubling prospect to the United States, thus became a critical and urgent focus of U.S. foreign policy. ii Indonesia’s second largest city, Surabaya, was one of the strongest bases of support for both Sukarno and the PKI and a hub of overt and covert U.S. anti-communist operations.
