Literature needs to be read and written as a medium to describe humans with various problems. Literature is created to have recreational function, didactic function, morality and even religious function. So complex is the function of literature, but reading and writing the literary works especially novel often becomes a heavy burden. For this reason, a solution is needed to increase the interest in reading and writing literature among the society. One alternative solution is by producing the literary arena. Investigating the literary arena in Central Java is an important thing to see as well as develop the literary literacy. The literary community can be used as an arena for literacy movements to make its members literate throughout life through community involvement in appreciating and expressing literature. The literary arena in the form of community and organizing a competition in Central Java is interesting to be examined in order to see literary literacy in it. The literary arena in Central Java can be a free and open market for literary quality competition to be used and disseminated. This research used qualitative method to increasing the number of literary works and to explore the productivity of the literacy arena in Central Java. Literary literacy movement certainly cannot be separated from cultural capital, social capital, symbolic capital, and aesthetic capital. For this reason, the role of government is needed to encourage the growth of literary literacy in Central Java. Keywords: Arena, literacy, community, competition. 1. Introduction Arena is defined as the field of “battle,” arena is also a field of “struggle” (Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992, p. 101). Arena in the context of literacy is a place for individuals or groups to protect and improve the position of the value of works created. The literary arena can be a free and open market for literary quality competition to be used and disseminated. Bourdieu explained three stages to analyze an arena. The first stage is tracking the relationship of each terrain structure that reflects the superiority of the arena. The second 867 Muhammad Burhanudin & Agus Nuryatin step, maps the objective structure of relations between positions in the field. The final step, determines the nature of the agents who occupy various types of positions in the field (Ritzer, 2012, p. 907). The success of a literary arena also cannot be separated from various types of capital. Cultural capital consists of familiarity and ease in utilizing institutionalized cultural forms (schools, colleges, language agents, etc.) which are at the top of the cultural hierarchy of society. Social capital consists of valuable social relations between humans. Symbolic capital comes from one’s honor and prestige. The position of various agents in the arena is determined by the amount of relative weight of capital owned. The arena of literature as a field certainly cannot be separated from the capital in launching its literacy movement. Literary work is the identity of a nation’s civilization. Literary society will be sensitive to the existence and development. Literary literacy is not merely a complementary activity, but must be able to bring better civilization to the nation. Literary works need to be read and written as a medium to describe humans with various problems. Literary works are created to provide pleasure or entertainment to the reader (recreational function). Reading literary works will provide insight into the ins and outs of human life for its readers (functions defined). Knowledge of good and bad moral can also be obtained from reading literary works (morality functions). Literary works that contain religious teachings present works that contain religious teachings that can be imitated by readers (religious functions). Literary works by containing religious teachings have been used since the time of the Walisanga. Sunan Bonang and Sunan Kalijaga are sunan figures who use literary literacy facilities to deliver religious teachings in the coastal areas of Java. The Kraton (palace) also gave birth to famous poets such as Yasadipura I, Yasadipura II, and Ranggawarsita. Kratonworks Gives insight into the ins and outs of human life. Pramudya Ananta Toer and WS Rendra are brilliant literary figures who are productive in creating high quality literary works about humanity and moral knowledge. The emergence of poets, writers and literary works in Central Java became a marker of the life of the literary arena in Central Java. The writers that still exist today are Mustofa Bisri, Ahmad Tohari, Triyanto Triwikromo, Eko Tunas, S. Prasetyo Utomo, Handry TM, Timur Suprabana, Sosiawan Leak, Hanindawan, Wijang Warek, Dorothea Rosa Herliani and others may become a marker of still alive and fertile literary activities in Central Java. Is it possible that the names of writers or poets in Central Java can be used as a benchmark for the life of the literacy arena? How much the role of the literary community can be used as an arena for literacy movements while expressing literature? Is competition for literary writing as a field of struggle and battle effective to increase the position of bargaining value for his work? Certainly, these questions disturb researchers to explore the productivity of the literacy arena in Central Java. 1.1 Literary Literacy Literary literacy can be defined as the ability to read the words on literary works and produce literary meaning. In other words, literary literacy is literacy quality which includes the ability to read and write literary works. Broader scope, literary literacy also includes literary audio-visual literature, which means proficiency to recognize, understand, as well as express ideas that are delivered visually both in drama/theater scenes, literary audio videos, or films based on literary works. Literary literacy is expected to be a capital for the community, especially students and college students to explore and develop their potential in appreciating and expressing literature. Literary literacy activities are expected to make people accept the effects of literary communication. The awareness of reading books of 868 Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Literature: “Literature as a Source of Wisdom”, July 11-13, 2019, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia ISBN: 978-623-7086-21-5 literature does not have to be planned nationally, but ideally it should be a primary need for each individual. Ability in literary literacy is a right and not everyone’s obligation. Literacy is a form of integration of the ability to listen, speak, write, read and think literally (Baynham, 1995, p. 5). As a unity of communication devices, the meaning of literacy can be interpreted as language skills that cannot be separated from one another. Klein et al (1991) see the relationship between the ability to read and write like two eyes of a coin. Someone who can write well shows a tendency to have good reading skills. Vice versa, someone who has good reading skills has a tendency to be a good writer. Literacy skills can empower and improve the quality of individuals, families and communities. Because it is a multiple effects (can provide an effect on a very wide area), literacy skills help eradicate poverty, reduce child mortality, population growth, ensure sustainable development, and realize peace. This can be pursued through literary literacy. Literary literacy, which can be interpreted as reading and writing ability about the field of literature cannot be separated from language, because literary works use language as a medium. Reading literature is essentially a reading skill with objects of literary works in the form of poetry, prose, and drama scripts while writing literature is an activity to produce writings in the form of literary works. 2. Result and Discussion 2.1 Community as Literary Literacy Arena The literary community as an arena in carrying out its activities cannot be separated from cultural capital. Cultural capital is manifested in establishing intimacy to make it easier to utilize institutionalized cultural forms (schools, colleges, language agents, etc.) that are at the top of the cultural hierarchy of society. The capital is needed because the development of literature cannot be carried out optimally without assistance and cooperation with various parties, both provincial and sub-district regional governments, writers, teachers, lecturers, researchers, students and the community. People who join in a literary community have great care and attention to maintain the continuity of literature, they devote their lives to improve the reading and writing culture in the area through literary literacy movements. The community can be used as an arena for community literacy movements, especially the higher education community. The literary community is a place to make its members literate throughout their lives through community involvement in appreciating and expressing literature. Stakeholders in the literary community as an arena of literacy in their operations use various strategies to sustain the life. The strategy idea was raised by the patron of the literary community to achieve calculated goals. The purpose of the literary community, in general, is to appreciate and express literature. The literary community in its activities should really position literature in accordance with its portion. This is important, considering that literature has only been used as a complementary or additional element in social life. Stakeholders in the literary community continue to try individually or collegially, protect or improve their position.

  • Contemporary Literature from the Chinese Diaspora in Indonesia
    CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE FROM THE CHINESE 'DIASPORA' IN INDONESIA Pamela Allen (University of Tasmania) Since the fall of Suharto a number of Chinese-Indonesian writers have begun to write as Chinese-Indonesians, some using their Chinese names, some writing in Mandarin. New literary activities include the gathering, publishing and translating (from Mandarin) of short stories and poetry by Chinese-Indonesians. Pribumi Indonesians too have privileged Chinese ethnicity in their works in new and compelling ways. To date little of this new Chinese-Indonesian literary activity has been documented or evaluated in English. This paper begins to fill that gap by examining the ways in which recent literary works by and about Chinese-Indonesians give expression to their ethnic identity. Introduction Since colonial times the Chinese have been subjected to othering in Indonesia on account of their cultural and religious difference, on account of their perceived dominance in the nation’s economy and (paradoxically, as this seems to contradict that economic - 1 - dominance) on account of their purported complicity with Communism. The first outbreak of racial violence towards the Chinese, engineered by the Dutch United East Indies Company, was in Batavia in 1740.1 The perceived hybridity of peranakan Chinese (those born in Indonesia) was encapsulated in the appellation used to describe them in pre-Independence Java: Cina wurung, londa durung, Jawa tanggung (‘no longer a Chinese, not yet a Dutchman, a half- baked Javanese’).2 ‘The Chinese are everywhere

  • R. Feener a Re-Examination of the Place of Al-Hallaj in the Development of Southeast Asian Islam
    R. Feener A re-examination of the place of al-Hallaj in the development of Southeast Asian Islam In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 154 (1998), no: 4, Leiden, 571-592 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/30/2021 12:59:33AM via free access R. MICHAEL FEENER A Re-Examination of the Place of al-Hallaj in the Development of Southeast Asian Islam For decades, the academic study of Islam in Southeast Asia has been domin- ated by a preoccupation with the role of mysticism in the region. From the earliest descriptions in Raffles' History of Java of 1817 to the anthropological writings of Clifford Geertz (Geertz I960, 1968), the mystical orientation of Southeast Asian Islam has been assumed a priori. Such an orientation has dominated the contents of several Leiden dissertations, and eventually led to Professor Johns' thesis concerning the role of Sufi turuq in the Islamization of the region.1 While there is no denying that some schools of Islamic mystic thought have been influential in the development of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia, it seems inadvisable to continue taking the 'mystical' nature of Islam in the region as a given. Rather, we should refrain from letting the nebulous term 'Sufism' bias us in our investigations of the actual situation in both its historical and contemporary contexts. It was just such a predisposition to find the 'mystical' in Southeast Asian Islam that was evident in the Dutch publications cited by Massignon in his Passion.2 Going by indications in this handful of studies, Massignon came to imagine a much more prominent role of 'Sufism', and of Hallajian elements therein, than it may have actually played.

  • Sejarah Sastra Indonesia
    0 | Sejarah Sastra Indonesia 1 | Sejarah Sastra Indonesia KATA PENGANTAR Sastra Indonesia saat ini mengalami perkembangan yang pesat dan dinamis. Hal itu tidak hanya mendapat perhatian dari pemerhati sastra, sastrawan maupun pengajar sastra melainkan juga masyarakat umum yang juga merupakan penikmat sastra. Membicarakan perkembangan sastra suatu bangsa tentunya harus membicarakan sejarah sastra itu. Kehadiran kesusastraan Indonesia tidak dapat lepas dari sejarah yang melahirkan dan membesarkannya. Beberapa ahli sastra memberikan argumen yang dijadikan landasan pijakan kapan kelahiran sastra Indonesia. Beberapa pendapat tersebut menyiratkan bahwa perjalanan sastra Indonesia belumlah panjang.Usia kesusastraan Indonesia tidaklah sepanjang kesusastraan Inggris, Amerika, Arab, Jepang, Cina atau kesusastraan negara lainnya. Namun demikian, dengan usia yang belum terlalu panjang tersebut bukan berarti sastra Indonesia sepi dari karya-karya yang monumental. Kehidupan sastra Indonesia sejak kelahiran sampai sekarang sangatlah marak. Banyak sastrawan yang lahir pada setiap masa dan membawa bentuk-bentuk yang berbeda dengan masa sebelumnya. Berbagai peristiwa kesusastraan datang silih berganti mewarnai perjalanan sastra Indonesia. Hasil sastra yang dilahirkan terus bertambah setiap saat. Fakta itulah yang harus diketahui oleh siapapun yang berminat terhadap kesusastraan Indonesia. Oleh sebab itu, perlu adanya sebuah buku sejarah sastra Indonesia yang bersifat komprehensif. Buku tersebut tidak hanya mengenai sastrawan dan karyanya tetapi juga mencakup berbagai peristiwa yang berkaitan dengan sastra Indonesia dari sejak kelahiran sampai sekarang. Banyak penulis yang telah melahirkan buku sejarah sastra Indonesia, seperti Sejarah Sastra Indonesia (Bakri Siregar, 1964), Ikhtisar Sejarah Sastra Indonesia (Ajip Rosidi, 1968), Ikhtisar Kesusastraan Indonesia Modern (Pamusuk Eneste, 1988), Lintasan Sejarah Sastra Indonesia 1 (Jacob Sumardjo, 1992) dan Pengantar Sejarah Sastra Indonesia (Yudiono K.S., 2007).

Hefner 1997; Jones 1980; Liddle 1996, 622-25; Muzaffar 1986; Schwarz 1994, 173-76; Tessler-and Jesse 1996). To date, representations of Indonesia's Islamic revival have featured forms of religious practice and political activity concerned with what in the Sufi tradition is called the "outer" (Zahir) expression of Islam: support for and observance of religious law (I. sya~iah,A. syari'at), including the practice of obligatory rituals. Thus commonly mentioned as evidence of a revival in Indonesia are such things as the growing numbers of mosques and prayer houses, the increasing popularity of head coverings (keradung, jilbab) among Muslim women and school girls, the increasing usage of Islamic greetings, the more common sight of Muslims excusing themselves for daily prayers and attending services at their workplaces, the appearance of new forms of Islamic student activity on university campuses, strong popular agitation against government actions seen as prejudicial to the Muslim community, and the establishment in 1991 of an Islamic bank.
