The direct monologue of the story is the story of his life, which dialogues directly with his father – the writer – and the reader. Unlike conventional autobiographies which narrate the developmental (procedural) course of the narrator (self- consciousness), Barth’s story concentrates on and deconstructs such dichotomies as narrator/story and writer/reader. Contra responsive to other meta-fictions which mainly challenge the authorial voice, this “self-begetting” story targets the reader and destabilizes his/her writer- like performance. The paper draws on the theories of meta-fiction posited by Patricia Waugh as Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 14:10 October 2014 Dr. Abdulmomin Al-Rubaiee An Analysis of Barth’s Autobiography: A Self-Recorded Fiction as a Metafiction 1 well as the narrative notions of Luc Herman and Bart Vervaeck. Besides, Bakhtinian dialogism is deployed in order to show the inter-discursive quality of the story’s texture. Key words: John Barth, autobiography, meta-fiction, deconstruction, Bakhtinian dialogism Introduction John Barth is the American postmodern novelist and short story writer. Lost in the Funhouse (1963) is his collection of fourteen short stories which most blatantly deconstructs the conventions of short story. Barth’s experimentations with the genre of novel, short story, and language have led many critics to take him as a writer of meta-fiction. Comparatively, Barth’s novels have been the point of interest with most critics and only some have turned their attention to his short stories. Those who have written about his short stories have generally addressed his collection as a single entity, resituating it within Barth’s narrative enterprises. A critic like Charles A. S. Ernst (2004) takes Lost in the Funhouse as the manifestation of the writer’s biographical concourse. Ernst mainly works on the story titled “Night-Sea Journey” and shows how this story stands as the text-world and life-text of the author. Similarly, Evelyn Glaser- Wohrer (1977) argues this collection bears autobiographical traits. W. Todd Martin treats this collection as a novel, relying on Barth’s own note at the beginning of the 1981 edition where he Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 14:10 October 2014 Dr. Abdulmomin Al-Rubaiee An Analysis of Barth’s Autobiography: A Self-Recorded Fiction as a Metafiction 2 states it is “neither a collection nor a selection, but a series . to have been meant to be received ‘all at once’ and here arranged”. (1981, p. vii) Alan Lindsay, likewise, numbers the collection among Barth’s novels. (1995, p. 3) Metafictionality Although the stories of Lost in the Funhouse share some basic postmodern and meta- fictional features, each cherishes its own meta-fictional status. The present analysis is concerned with “Autobiography: A Self-Recorded Fiction” in order to achieve two objectives. First, the paper approaches the story as a meta-fiction; second, there is an attempt to pinpoint that unlike most meta-fictional stories, “Autobiography” targets the reader and his/her active role and thereby implicitly restores the author to the text. The main argument is that “Autobiography” deconstructs not only Barth’s but also the reader’s authorial voice, hence Bakhtinian dialogism. Theoretical Framework With the postmodern hail to the context and its constructing role, the West has been experiencing an increasing social and cultural self-awareness. The post-War-II period is the era of meta-history and meta-criticism. Hayden White, the American historiographer, attempts to bridge the gap between history and fiction through his notion of meta-history. Meta-history is historical narrative on history and historiography. In the same vein, meta-criticism is criticism on criticism itself. This self-reflexivity is the inherent trend of postmodernism, which has emerged as the notions of autonomy and representation that have been de-defined. Language has come to be thought of as having a functional role in constructing and maintaining man’s sense of the “real” and “reality”. Beginning with Ferdinand de Saussure’s structuralist theories, language itself was seen as the problem, as a representational and communicational means. The Lacanian idea that man’s unconscious is a linguistic construct, put more emphasis on the key role of language.

  • Review of the Tai Languages of Assam – a Grammar and Texts, by Stephen Morey, Canberra: Pacific Linguistics, 2005
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 29.2 — October 2006 REVIEW OF THE TAI LANGUAGES OF ASSAM – A GRAMMAR AND TEXTS, BY STEPHEN MOREY, CANBERRA: PACIFIC LINGUISTICS, 2005 Mark Post La Trobe University Keywords: Review, Stephen Morey, Tai, Phake, Aiton, Khamyang, Khamti, Ahom. The volume under review is the first ever large-scale description of the Tai languages of North East India, and treats the Assam-based Phake, Aiton and Khamyang varieties, as well as (to a limited extent) the Arunachali Tai variety Khamti and the basically extinct language Ahom. It is not simply “a grammar and texts”, as the title proposes, but is rather a comprehensive documentation of a language or languages (I will return to this point), some features of which include an extensive literature review, a dialect survey, an explication of scripts and ceremonial-literary traditions, the current versions of three already very substantial dictionaries-in-progress (as well as a digitization of a previously unpublished dictionary by another author), a descriptive grammar, and a far larger body of fully analysed and annotated texts than is usually found in works of this kind, in addition to many helpful ancillary materials such as large colour photographs, detailed maps and consultant biographies. The sheer scale of Morey’s presentation is made possible through the inclusion of an ingeniously conceived and designed CD-ROM, which not only contains the full text of the bound presentation (replete with numerous links and clickable cross-references), but includes sound files for nearly every example, and every text, to which the author 141 142 Mark Post makes reference, as well as numerous materials (such as the dictionaries and text analyses) which are simply too extensive to include in a printed work of acceptable size and cost.

  • Income Inequality and Socioeconomic Segregation in Jakarta
    Chapter 7 Income Inequality and Socioeconomic Segregation in Jakarta Deden Rukmana and Dinar Ramadhani Abstract Socioeconomic segregation has become a common phenomenon, both in the Global North and Global South, and highly relates to income inequality. The merging of these two notions affects the geography of residential areas which are based on the socio-occupational composition. This chapter focuses on the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA). Not only is Jakarta the largest metropolitan area in South- east Asia, it is also one of the most dynamic. Batavia, the colonial capital of the former Dutch East Indies in the first half of the twentieth century, was a small urban area of approximately 150,000 residents. In the second half of the century, Batavia became Jakarta, a megacity of 31 million people and the capital of inde- pendent Indonesia was beset with most of the same urban problems experienced in twenty-first-century Southeast Asia, including poverty, income inequality, and socioeconomic segregation. This study aims to identify the correlation among income inequality, socioeconomic segregation, and other institutional and contextual factors which caused residential segregation in JMA. The analysis consists of two stages. First, we examine income inequality measured by the Gini Index as well as the occu- pational structure based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). Second, we investigate residential segregation by using the Dissimilarity Index as a result of socioeconomic intermixing in residential areas. The data in this study comes from multiple sources including Indonesia’s Central Bureau of Statis- tics, Indonesia’s National Socio-economic Survey (Susenas), Indonesia’s Economic Census, Jakarta’s Regional Bureau of Statistics, and policies related to the housing system and investment in the JMA.

Under the coordination of the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, Indonesia has mainstreamed SDGs into National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and elaborated in the Government Work Plan (RKP) annual budget documents. In its implementation, Indonesia upholds the SDGs principles, namely (i) universal development principles, (ii) integration, (iii) no one left behind, and (iv) inclusive principles. Achievement of the ambitious SDGs targets, a set of international commitments to end poverty and build a better world by 2030, will require significant investment. The investment gap for the SDGs remains significant. Additional long-term resources need to be mobilized from all resources to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addition, it needs to be ensured that investment for the SDGs is inclusive and leaves no one behind. Indonesia is one of the countries that was given the opportunity to offer investment opportunities related to sustainable development in the 2019 Sustainable Development Goals Investment (SDGI) Fair in New York on April 15-17 2019. The SDGI Fair provides a platform, for governments, the private sectors, philanthropies and financial intermediaries, for “closing the SDG investment gap” through its focus on national and international efforts to accelerate the mobilization of sufficient investment for sustainable development. Therefore, Indonesia would like to take this opportunity to convey various concrete investment for SDGs. The book “Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Project” shows and describes investment opportunities in Indonesia that support the achievement of related SDGs goals and targets.
