Sejarah / Sastra VOLUME 16 No HUMANIORA Kuntowijoyo, Sejarah / Sastra VOLUME 16 No. 1 Februari 2004 Halaman 17 - 26 SEJARAH / SASTRA Kuntowijoyo* ABSTRAK Di Indonesia sejarah dan sastra menjadi satu dalam mitos sampai awal abad ke-20. Ketika kesadaran mitis itu berakhir, keduanya berjalan senndiri-sendiri. Sekalipun keduanya merekam realitas, tetapi sejarah adalah ilmu, sastra adalah imajinasi. Sejarah dan sastra berbeda dalam struktur dan substansi. Dalam struktur sejarah ada evidensi, informasi, fakta, dan berguna untuk menjelaskan realitas. Dalam struktur sastra ada strukturalisasi kemungkinan, ekspresi, imajinasi, dan berguna untuk mengadili realitas. Sementara itu, substansi sejarah adalah objektifikasi kehidupan karena ia harus sadar akan perubahan. Sastra adalah subjektifikasi kehidupan dan acuannya adalah keabadian. Kata kunci : kesadaran mitis - struktur - substansi - kesadaran historis - fungsi akademis - fungsi sosial PENGANTAR Sartono Kartodirdjo pada 1987, A.

For further information contact the UOW Library: research-pubs@uow.edu.au The empire strikes back: Re-Writing malay history and identity in Faisal Tehrani’s novel 1515 Abstract Published in 2003, 1515 by Faisal Tehrani is a unique text within contemporary Malay literature. Among recent novels in Malaysia it is one of the most difficulteadings, r but probably the most refreshing and rewarding one. Perhaps it is also one of the most multifaceted narratives, with elements of romance, adventure, history, legend, postcolonial discourse, postmodernism, socio-political criticism, feminism, and even fantasy. Consequently, the novel also lends itself to various ways of reading: from the perspective of postcolonial, postmodern, socio-political, and feminist theories, or a blending of all of them. Although the novel appears to be postmodern and unique, it in fact is connected not only to postmodernism and magic realism (as associated with Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel Garcia Marquez), but perhaps more importantly it draws on a long established tradition of Malay folk literature, specifically the folk omancer known as cerita penglipur lara (tales of soother of cares).

  • Politik Membaca Hikayat Hang Tuah Orientalist Mind and Post-Colonial Mind: the Politics of Reading Hikayat Hang Tuah
    Minda Orientalis dan MindaAkademika Pasca-Kolonial 70 (Januari) 2007: 41 - 56 41 Minda Orientalis dan Minda Pasca-Kolonial: Politik Membaca Hikayat Hang Tuah Orientalist Mind and Post-colonial Mind: the Politics of reading Hikayat Hang Tuah KAMARUDDIN M. SAID ABSTRAK Hikayat Hang Tuah ialah sebuah teks sastera Melayu klasik yang menukilkan pelbagai peristiwa budaya-politik Melayu dalam zaman Kesultanan Melaka abad ke lima belas, dan penuh dengan mesej sosial dan politik. Wacana yang diungkapkannya cukup relevan kepada para pembaca kolonial yang berpegang pada perspektif Orientalisme, dan pada pembaca peribumi kini yang berpegang pada perspektif pasca-kolonial. Artikel ini memperkatakan tentang “politik” pembacaan Hikayat Hang Tuah, dengan cara membandingkan pembacaan Richard O. Winstedt, seorang Orientalis Inggeris zaman penjajahan, dan pembacaan oleh penulis sendiri menerusi perspektif pasca-kolonial. Tujuan artikel ini ialah untuk membuktikan bahawa pembacaan Hikayat Hang Tuah sesungguhnya dipandu oleh perenggu minda dan paradigme intelektual yang dibentuk oleh budaya dan politik tertentu yang dipegang oleh sipembaca. Budaya dan politik kolonial di Tanah Melayu pada penghujung abad kesembilan belas dan awal abad kedua puluh bukan sahaja telah membentuk minda Orientalis dalam kalangan para pegawai dan penyelidik kolonial, malah telah mempengaruhi pembacaan mereka hasil menanggapi teks perbumi hanya daripada perspektif teori yang berpengaruh ketika itu, iaitu teori evolusi dan difusi. Setelah zaman penjajahan berakhir, teks yang sama boleh pula dibaca oleh pengkaji peribumi, dengan menggunakan perspektif pasca-kolonial, dan yang berupaya menanggapi pelbagai makna baru. ABSTRACT Hikayat Hang Tuah is a classical Malay literary text, contextualized within the 15th century political-culture of the Melaka Sultanate that is imbued with socio- political messages.

  • Words Over Borders: Trafficking Literatures in Southeast Asia
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 2, DECEMBER 2009 Words Over Borders: Trafficking Literatures in Southeast Asia Muhammad Haji Salleh1 Universiti Sains Malaysia Abstract This paper traces the paths of literary works that cross linguistic and cultural borders, and have been adopted into the receiving cultures. Their sources may be as far away as India, or as close as Java and the Malay Peninsula, but have spread and later become well-loved local stories and poems as they provide genres and forms to be emulated and enjoyed. From India came the Ramayana, which travelled to Thailand, Cambodia, and Java, and from Java to the Malay Peninsula and Patani. From the Malay Peninsula and/or Sumatra the pantun marched into the other islands of the Archipelago, was brought to Sri Lanka and also South Africa, and in the 19th century to Europe. The romantic Javanese Panji story caught the imagination Malay and Patani performers who took it to Ayuthia. These texts were thus translated, transformed, and adapted in a wide literary area, resulting in not only various literary performances but also in related arts. Keywords Ramayana, shadow play/wayang, pantun, Panji, Islam, Southeast Asia Southeast Asia stretches from the Vietnamese peninsula, and then curves into Kampuchea, Laos, and to Thailand, while extending south to the Malay Peninsula.

I first embarked on my research on Malay literature, history and Southeast Asian studies not knowing what to focus on, given the enormous corpus of available literature on the region. Two years into my graduate studies, my graduate advisor, a dear friend and conversation partner, an expert on hikayats, Hendrik Maier brought Misa Melayu, one of the lesser read hikayat to my attention, suggesting that I read it, and write about it. If it was not for his recommendation, this dissertation would not have been written, and for that, and countless other reasons, I thank him kindly. I would like to thank the rest of my graduate committee, and fellow Southeast Asianists Mariam Lam and Tamara Ho, whose friendship, advice, support and guidance have been indispensable. Also, Muhamad Ali and Justin McDaniel, whose graduate courses have cultivated my interest in Southeast Asia beyond the literary into appreciating the religious complexity and diversity of the region.

  • Tracing the Concept of Political Leadership of Islam Nusantara
    Journal of Malay Islamic Studies Vol. 1 No. 1, June 2017 TRACING THE CONCEPT OF POLITICAL LEADERSHIP OF ISLAM NUSANTARA Zaki Faddad Faculty of Ushluddin and Islamic Thought Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia E-mail: zakifaddad_uin@radenfatah.ac.id Abstract Certain community both based ethnicities and nationalities have different characteristics on the notion of political leadership. Studies on the political leadership concept in Indonesia cannot escape from the Javanese political leadership characteristics. The reason is simply, because most of Indonesian leaders are from Java. Ben Anderson (1990) sees the Sukarno and Suharto leadership as the representation of Islamic Mataram Kingdom that was absolute and totalitarian typical leadership. Then, it follows cultural stereotyping of political leadership based on ethnicity in Indonesia. Jajat Burhanuddin (2014) sees that Melayu has democratic political culture, while Jawa has authoritarian political culture based on the creed “Manunggaling Kawula Gusti” – Unity between God-ruler or Subject-ruler. However Burhanuddin (2014) does not explain the nature of the creed in Javanese typical political leadership. Naim (2014) controversially sees that there are bipolar characteristics of political leadership in Indonesia. Jawa has absolute and totalitarian typical leadership that is influenced by Javanese local belief; otherwise Melayu (Outside Jawa) has egalitarian and democratic political leadership that is strong influenced by Islamic teaching. This paper tries to dig the understanding of principles on political leadership in Indonesia by making comparison both Jawa and Melayu on the nature of political leadership. The paper engages Talal Asad (2009) conceptual frameworks on discursive tradition. Thus from Asad point of view political leadership is the result of a dynamic process between agency and structure.
