  • ANNUAL REPORT 2006 the International Writing Program At
    ANNUAL REPORT 2006 The International Writing Program at The University of Iowa 1 Greetings, I am pleased to send you the annual report of the International Writing Program (IWP), which for nearly forty years has offered a unique residency for professional writers from around the world. The literary community created by the IWP, a community of poets, fiction writers, essayists, playwrights and screenwriters from more than 120 countries, stands as a testament to the myriad ways in which service to the word, in every language, can help to bridge differences between peoples and nations divided. Only connect—the governing idea of the program—means that we devote the fall to connecting writers to readers, translators, students and people from every background. And this report offers a glimpse into some of the connections that last year’s writers made. I am also pleased to tell you that the IWP is evolving in a dynamic fashion. In 2006 we hosted our first symposium on the Greek island of Paros, bringing together writers from every corner of the earth to discuss what we hold in common. A Greek film maker made a documentary about the symposium and an e-book of the essays written for the occasion is in the works. As I write these lines we are preparing not only for another symposium, on the subject of justice, but also for a tour of the Middle East designed to introduce some of America’s most prominent writers to their counterparts in Syria, Jordan, Israel and the West Bank. In the spring of 2008, in partnership with the University of Iowa’s Young Writers Studio, we will launch a project called Between the Lines, bringing a dozen high school students from six Arabic-speaking countries to take part in a summer writing workshop, which we expect to deepen our connection to this strategic part of the world, creating new networks of writers and readers.

  • Redefining Beauty Standard in Laksmi Pamuntjak's The
    Redefining Beauty Standard… | 53 REDEFINING BEAUTY STANDARD IN LAKSMI PAMUNTJAK’S THE QUESTION OF RED Yulia Eka Pristiana1, Much. Koiri2 Universitas Negeri Surabaya [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The word "beautiful" is closely addressed to women. The standardization of beauty attached to women by a patriarchal society has become an issue that is still strongly opposed by feminists. The feeling of being less attractive and less-loved will grow in the women’s minds who are deemed less or do not meet the beauty standard in the patriarchal society. This study is aimed: (1) to discuss beauty standards set forward by a patriarchal society represented through an epic literary work, a novel by Laksmi Pamuntjak entitled The Question of Red, and (2) to identify how the character Amba redefines beauty in Laksmi Pamuntjak's The Question of Red. This study applies literary criticism to achieve satisfactory results, which refers to feminists' "reading as women." This study indicates that patriarchal society's beauty standard is represented by depicting Amba's appearance that is different from the physical depiction of the mother and the sister who always have a beautiful appearance. Besides, Amba believes that the beauty standard is a catastrophe that unwittingly harms women. Moreover, beauty is not always just about appearance. Keywords: Beauty Standard, Patriarchal Society, Representation INTRODUCTION Being beautiful is a dream for almost every woman in the world. The hegemonic values of the privileged class are essential to beauty. This is why beauty is an enigmatic asset (Saltzberg and Chrisller 1997: 135).

EuroSEAS is legendary as an extremely friendly gathering: we have none of the hierarchism and exclusivity that characterizes most large professional conferences: no invitation-only receptions, no huddled gatherings of insiders. This climate of openness and friendliness reflects the twenty-two year history of an organization that was created to break down national boundaries, not to mention disciplinary ones; and an active determination by each successive host to sustain and enhance the spirit of Southeast Asian studies as practiced here in Europe. At a time when deadening nationalisms and intellectual narrowness are once more on the rise, EuroSEAS exists to celebrate place-based knowledge, through research that transcends the petty narcissisms of small differences. Southeast Asia and Europe have much in common: plural, polyglot regions that thrive on diversity, and that celebrate subtlety and nuance. These are themes that will surely resonate throughout this conference, beginning with our much- anticipated keynote addresses by Kasian Tejapira and Laksmi Pamuntjak – two leading Southeast Asian intellectuals. We have a packed programme of panels and events arranged for the next few days, virtually all of them conveniently located in Oxford University’s magnificent Examination Schools, right in the heart of the city.

  • Spring Literature Festival: Cultural Confluences Programme
    Spring Literature Festival Cultural Confluences Saturday, 7 March 2015 10am - 8pm CENTRES & PROGRAMMES OFFICE SOAS, University of London Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG www.soas.ac.uk Culture is one of the most complex and contested words in the dictionary. With meanings encompassing both artistic endeavour and the broader fabric of everyday life, culture has recently been a site of conflict; it has been elevated to a definitive marker of identity by some, while cultural difference has been cited by others as the main source of dissension and conflict in the world today. This one-day literary festival brings together writers from a number of cultural background, all of whom have interrogated in their work the nature of culture and intercultural experience. As well as forming their subject matter, culture envelops the processes by which their work is circulated and consumed. Their experience as creators of culture also gives them a unique insight into the processes and pitfalls of producing literary art in the modern world. At the Spring Literature festival writers will read from and be in conversation about their recent publications. Books will be available for purchase on the day.

  • Generating History: Violence and the Risks of Remembering for Families of Former Political Prisoners in Post-New Order Indonesia
    Generating History: Violence and the Risks of Remembering for Families of Former Political Prisoners in Post-New Order Indonesia by Andrew Marc Conroe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor E. Webb Keane Jr., Chair Professor Nancy K. Florida Professor Rudolf Mrazek Professor Andrew J. Shryock ! © Andrew Marc Conroe _________________________ 2012 For Karen ""!! Acknowledgements A great number of individuals deserve thanks for the support, guidance, insight, and friendship they provided to me throughout this project. My first debt of gratitude is to the former political prisoners, children and grandchildren of former political prisoners, and activists in Jogjakarta who opened their doors to me, welcomed or tolerated my questions, and shared their thoughts and experiences with me; I am admiring of their courage, resilience, and spirited engagement with the complexities and contradictions of their experiences. I would certainly not have made it this far without the love and unflagging support of my family. My parents, Harriet and Henry Conroe, got the ball rolling many years ago through their encouragement, love of learning, and open-mindedness about their son’s international peregrinations. I’ve been lucky to have my brothers, Gabriel and Daniel Conroe, with whom to share adventures, stories, and music over the years. Jack Wittenbrink provided my teenaged self with a first glimmer of understanding of ethnographic sensibilities and the joys of feeling out-of-place. Elizabeth Nicholson’s accounts of shadow puppet theater and komodo dragons first turned my eyes and ears and thoughts in the direction of Indonesia.

Not unnoticed has been their common use of sex and sexuality as a prominent component of their writings. Many of the authors have been labelled with the term sastrawangi1; a friendly but patronizing and slightly derogatory label. The following critique illuminates the more important but previously un-investigated facets of literature from this generation of authors and brings to light the works of some authors that, due to the authors‟ avoidance of sex and sexuality, have been overlooked as subjects of criticism.
