Chineseness Is in the Eye of the Beholder CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Setefanus Suprajitno August 2013 © 2013 Setefanus Suprajitno CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI Setefanus Suprajitno, Ph.D. Cornell University 2013 My dissertation is an ethnographic project documenting the transformation of Chinese Indonesians post-Suharto Indonesia. When Suharto was in power (1966–1998), the Chinese in his country were not considered an ethnicity with the freedom to maintain their ethnic and cultural heritage. They were marked as “the Other” by various policies and measures that suppressed their cultural markers of ethnicity. The regime banned Chinese language education, prohibited Chinese media, and dissolved Chinese organizations, an effort that many Chinese thought of as destroying the Chinese community in Indonesia as they were seen as the three pillars that sustained the Chinese community. Those efforts were intended to make the Chinese more Indonesian; ironically, they highlighted the otherness of Chinese Indonesians and made them perpetual foreigners who remained the object of discrimination despite their total assimilation into Indonesian society. However, the May 1998 anti-Chinese riot that led to the fall of the New Order regime brought about political and social reform. The three pillars of the Chinese community were restored. This restoration produces new possibilities for Chinese cultural expression. Situated in this area of anthropological inquiry, my dissertation examines how the Chinese negotiate and formulate these identities, and how they ascribe meaning to Chinese identities. I argue that Chinese cultural expression facilitates the re-emergence of multiple Chinese identities. The multiplicity of Chinese identities is reflected in the way they view Chinese culture, the creation of exclusionary and inclusionary boundaries, and the idea of Chinese political engagement. All these occur as a result of different backgrounds and experiences of individual Chinese. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Setefanus Suprajitno was born and grew up in the New Order Indonesia. Coming from a Chinese family, he has been curious since his childhood about the cultural and social forces that have influenced his identity. His curiosity leads to his research interest into the lives of the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the many people who helped me complete this project. Without their kindness and material, intellectual and affective gifts, this research would have been more difficult if not impossible. While for reasons of confidentiality I cannot name all my informants, it is they who have made this dissertation possible. I extend my deepest thanks to them. I gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided for my study and research from a variety of sources. I would like to thank: the American Indonesian Exchange Foundation; the Directorate General of Higher Education, the Indonesian Ministry of Education; the Department of Anthropology and the Southeast Asia Program at Cornell University. I am grateful for the generosity and wisdom of my stellar doctoral committee. Marina Welker helped me navigate the world of anthropology and agreed to serve as chair. I appreciate her style, challenging but always helpful critiques. Andrew Willford often asked me tough questions that sharpened my analytical skills. He sets a standard for academic and professional integrity that I respect and can only aspire to. Vilma Santiago-Irizarry introduced me to the field of linguistic anthropology. Her theorizing on the intersections of language and ethnicity has been very important to my own incursions into the study of the Chinese in Indonesia. Eric Tagliacozzo’s invaluable comments helped me understand the historical trajectory of Chinese Indonesians. He has changed my perspectives on the study of history. Last but not least, I must thank my sister, Rachel, and her children, Andrew, Nancy, and Justin, who are my constant source of motivation. I also thank my friends in the United States iv and Indonesia for their support. It would be difficult for me to survive the years it has taken me to complete the doctoral degree without their encouragement. v Table of Contents Biographical Sketch…………………………………………………………………... … ....iii Acknowledgement…………………………………………………………………….. … …iv Table of Contents……………………………………………………………………... … …vi Introduction…………………………………………………………………………… … ….1 Institutionalizing Exclusion……………………………………………………….. … ….4 Winds of Change…………………………………………………………………... … ...10 Habitus and Doxa………………………………………………………………….. … …18 Ethnicity…………………………………………………………………………… … …20 Language Ideology………………………………………………………………… … …26 Chinese Ethnic Group as an Analytical Category…………………………………. … …29 Research Site………………………………………………………………………. … …32 Research Methodology…………………………………………………………….. … …34 Chapter Outline……………………………………………………………………. … …39 Part 1: Chinese Language Education…………………………………………………. … …41 Chapter 1: Language Ideology and Chineseness……………………………………... … …44 Circulating Ideology 1: Chinese Language as a Marker of Chinese Identity…….. … …47 Circulating Ideology 2: Chinese Language as a Foreign Language……………… … …66 Integrative and Instrumental Orientations………………………………………… … …75 Conclusion ……………………………………………………………………….. … …79 Chapter 2: Authenticating Chineseness through Language and Culture……………... … …82 The Revival of Chinese Language School………………………………………... … …83 Language ideologies and Imagined Community………………………………….. … …86 Connecting to Language and Culture …………………………………………….. … …89 Learners’ Language Ideologies…………………………………………………… … …94 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………… … ..116 Part 2: Chinese Media………………………………………………………………… … ..120 Chapter 3: Chinese Media and the (Re)construction of Chineseness………………… … ..122 The Rise of Chinese Media……………………………………………………….. … ..126 Chinese Media and Chinese Identity……………………………………………… … ..131 The Mediascape of Surabaya……………………………………………………... … ..133 The Structure of Chinese Newspapers……………………………………………. … ..134 Forms of Imagining……………………………………………………………….. … ..136 Vehicle of Imagining……………………………………………………………… … ..149 Foundation of Imagining………………………………………………………….. … ..156 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………… … ..165 vi Chapter 4: Crafting Chineseness in the New Political Climate………………………. … ..168 Exclusionary Boundaries…………………………………………………………. … ..172 Inclusionary Boundaries………………………………………………………….. … ..192 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………… … ..206 Part 3: Chinese organizations…………………………………………………………. … ..209 Chapter 5: Chineseness as a Discourse of Victimization, Resistance and Reluctance.. … ..211 Victimization and Collective Memory……………………………………………. … ..218 Seeds of Political Recognition…………………………………………………..... … ..223 Reluctance and Resistance………………………………………………………... … ..234 Political Participation and Representation………………………………………... … ..250 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………… … ..258 Conclusion: The Ideology of Chineseness……………………………………………. … ..261 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………... … ..269 vii Introduction In late June 2005, my nephew and I visited the Miniature Park of Beautiful Indonesia, locally known as TMII (the abbreviation of Indonesian name of the park, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah), in East Jakarta. TMII is a theme park that exhibits the diversity of various ethnic groups and cultures in Indonesia. The park’s organization is based on provinces in Indonesia. Hence, each province has a pavilion showcasing the culture of ethnic groups who live in the province. When we were in the East Java pavilion, I saw a Chinese family looking at the display and diorama. The son asked his father in Javanese, “Dad, why can’t we find the Chinese in the display? There are a lot of Chinese in East Java, aren’t there?” The father laughed and said in Javanese, “I don’t know.” The father did not think much about the absence of the Chinese, and neither did I. But after a while, the child’s question made me aware that the Chinese were conspicuously absent in the displays and dioramas in a number of pavilions I visited. In this pavilion, the pavilion of our home province, visitors can only see the Javanese and the Madurese, two major ethnic groups in the province. Even in West Kalimantan province where the Chinese are one of the three major ethnic groups alongside the Dayak and Malay, no images of Chinese ethnic group could be found.1 The same situation was the case in all pavilions. As a cultural development project of the New Order regime started in 1972, TMII, officially opened to public in 1975, was meant to display Indonesia’s ethnic and cultural pluralism, which were incorporated into national culture such that there was harmony between national unity and regional and cultural difference (Foulcher, 1990:302-303). According to 1 West Kalimantan is the first province whose deputy governor is an ethnic Chinese, namely Christiandy Sanjaya aka Bong Hon San. He was elected as the deputy governor in 2007. He also won the election of deputy governor for the second time in 2012. The other province that has an ethnic Chinese as deputy governor is Jakarta Special Administrative region, elected in 2012. West Kalimantan is also the first province that has a Chinese as head of regency. 1 Pemberton (1994),

  • The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics
    The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics The Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. Since the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, diverse indigenous communities and ethnic groups across Indonesia have publicly, vocally, and sometimes violently, demanded the right to implement elements of adat in their home territories. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons for its recent blossoming. The book considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. It is argued that the current interest in adat is not simply a national offshoot of international discourses on indigenous rights, but also reflects a specifically Indonesian ideological tradition in which land, community and custom provide the normative reference points for political struggles. Whilst campaigns in the name of adat may succeed in redressing injustices with regard to land tenure and helping to preserve local order in troubled times, attempts to create enduring forms of political order based on adat are fraught with dangers. These dangers include the exacerbation of ethnic conflict, the legitimation of social inequality, the denial of individual rights and the diversion of attention away from issues of citizenship, democracy and the rule of law at national level. Overall, this book is a full appraisal of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.

It became popular amongst art students in Yogyakarta, and formed a significant style of painting which generally is characterised by the use of casual juxtapositions of disparate ideas and subjects resulting in absurd, startling, and sometimes disturbing images. In this thesis, Yogyakartan Surrealism is seen as the expression in painting of various social, cultural, and economic developments taking place rapidly and simultaneously in Yogyakarta's urban landscape.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore
    genealogy Article Challenges and Strategies for Promoting Children’s Education: A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore Min Zhou 1,* and Jun Wang 2 1 Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1551, USA 2 School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 639818, Singapore; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 February 2019; Accepted: 11 April 2019; Published: 15 April 2019 Abstract: Confucian heritage culture holds that a good education is the path to upward social mobility as well as the road to realizing an individual’s fullest potential in life. In both China and Chinese diasporic communities around the world, education is of utmost importance and is central to childrearing in the family. In this paper, we address one of the most serious resettlement issues that new Chinese immigrants face—children’s education. We examine how receiving contexts matter for parenting, what immigrant parents do to promote their children’s education, and what enables parenting strategies to yield expected outcomes. Our analysis is based mainly on data collected from face-to-face interviews and participant observations in Chinese immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York in the United States and in Singapore. We find that, despite different contexts of reception, new Chinese immigrant parents hold similar views and expectations on children’s education, are equally concerned about achievement outcomes, and tend to adopt overbearing parenting strategies. We also find that, while the Chinese way of parenting is severely contested in the processes of migration and adaptation, the success in promoting children’s educational excellence involves not only the right set of culturally specific strategies but also tangible support from host-society institutions and familial and ethnic social networks.

  • 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

  • Situation Update Response to COVID-19 in Indonesia As of 28 September 2020
    Situation Update Response to COVID-19 in Indonesia As of 28 September 2020 As of 28 September, the Indonesian Government has announced 278,722 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in all 34 provinces in Indonesia, with 10,473 deaths, and 206,870 people that have recovered from the illness. The government has also reported 131,361 suspected cases. The highest increase of daily confirmed COVID-19 cases in Indonesia occurred on three consecutive days; on 23 September (4,465 new cases), 24 September 24 (4,634 new cases) and 25 September (4,823 new cases), since the first case of COVID-19 in the country was confirmed in March. However, the rate of recovered patients continues to increase, with 73.5 percent as of 25 September. The Minister of Health has recently reported that 16,286 medical interns and volunteers have been mobilized to COVID-19 referral hospitals and laboratories across the country; an additional 3,500 interns, 800 health workers and 685 volunteers such as lung specialists, anesthetists, internists, general practitioners and nurses have been identified and will be deployed when needed. On 14 September, the President of the Republic of Indonesia requested the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Mr. Luhut B. Panjaitan, and the Head of BNPB, Mr. Doni Monardo, to suppress the COVID-19 spread of cases, especially in the nine provinces with the highest number of cases, namely: DKI Jakarta, East Java, Central Java, West Java, Sulawesi South, North Sumatra, South Kalimantan, Bali and Papua. In the short term, three goals must be achieved, as follows: decreased number of daily cases, increase in the recovery rate and a decrease in the mortality rate.

  • Contact Languages: Ecology and Evolution in Asia
    This page intentionally left blank Contact Languages Why do groups of speakers in certain times and places come up with new varieties of languages? What are the social settings that determine whether a mixed language, a pidgin, or a Creole will develop, and how can we under- stand the ways in which different languages contribute to the new grammar? Through the study of Malay contact varieties such as Baba and Bazaar Malay, Cocos Malay, and Sri Lanka Malay, as well as the Asian Portuguese ver- nacular of Macau, and China Coast Pidgin, the book explores the social and structural dynamics that underlie the fascinating phenomenon of the creation of new, or restructured, grammars. It emphasizes the importance and inter- play of historical documentation, socio-cultural observation, and linguistic analysis in the study of contact languages, offering an evolutionary frame- work for the study of contact language formation – including pidgins and Creoles – in which historical, socio-cultural, and typological observations come together. umberto ansaldo is Associate Professor in Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong. He was formerly a senior researcher and lecturer with the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication at the University of Amsterdam. He has also worked in Sweden and Singapore and conducted fieldwork in China, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island, and Sri Lanka.
