The social dilemmas and emotional pain entailed in this transition from tradition (often, ethnic tradition) toward modernity typically provides much of the tension of novels as diverse as Abdul Muis's Salah Asuhan (1928), Merari Siregar's Azab dan Sengsara (1927), Marah Rush's Sitti Nurbaya (1922), and Pra- moedya Ananta Toer's much more recent BumiManusia (1980) and Anak Semua Bangsa (1980).1 Different generations of Indonesian novelists have portrayed the purportedly competitive worlds of tradition and modernity in different ways, as have important essayists such as those who discuss the same matter in the pre-war issues of Pudjangga Baru. Some writers have been optimistic about the chances of moving into an age of modernity, while others (a larger group) have generally taken the bleaker view that life in a modern state will necessarily lay personal lives to waste.2 The latter tended to be the consensus view of many of the more prom- inent Balai Pustaka novelists of the 1920s and 30s. Their familiar love story novels and accounts of growing up are often 'journey novels' of 1 Particularly good background sources on this general topic include Keith Foulcher's study of the imagery of time in 1920s poetry (1977), C.W. Watson's thesis (1972), and Freidus's examination of the early Minangkabau novelists (1977). Teeuw 1967 provides a frame- work within which to understand Tapanuli literature of the pre-war years, although he concentrates on the better-known Indonesian-language works. It should be noted that for the rendering of all Indonesian names and titles, including those from the earlier period, the modern Indonesian spelling has been followed throughout the present article. So I have written Rusli instead of Roesli, Nurbaya instead of Noerbaja, etc. 2 See Keith Foulcher's Pujangga Baru (1980) for a comprehensive discussion of these writers' views of tradition and modernity.

This thesis is a result of my never ending interaction with many magnificent people, including those whose names I do not know. Starting from the must-be-done routine, commuting from Salatiga to Yogyakarta on public buses, to the process of knitting the words into a bundle of thesis, I realize that I could not survive without them. I know that I cannot return their kindness except through my deepest gratitude and prayers for them. It is my pleasure to express my gratitude to my 2009 friends, especially from the Literature class. I thank them for the loving togetherness of the last two significant years in my life. Their contribution through making the room for sharing and discussion have helped me much to make this thesis come true. Let’s hope that all memories will be the sweetest ones to remember.

Susan Rodgers Sire Gar in a Gathering of Batak Village Grandmothers In
A BATAK LITERATURE OF MODERNIZATION* Susan Rodgers Sire gar In a gathering of Batak village grandmothers in my house in 1976 to tape record some traditional ritual speech, one old ompu* 1 took the time to survey the changes in Batak kinship she had witnessed in her lifetime. Like many of her contemporar ies, she spoke warmly of the "more orderly" kinship world of her childhood, when people "still married who they should." She contrasted this halcyon age to present- day conditions: young people were marrying against the grain of the adat, house holds were ignoring their adat obligations to lend labor assistance to relatives in favor of concentrating on their own fields and farmwork, and her neighbors were beginning to forget some of the courtly eulogistic terms once used in addressing kinsmen. Fixing me with a stare and breaking out of her customary Angkola Batak2 into Indonesian, she delivered a final withering epithet on modern-day Batak family life: just one quality characterized it, "Merdeka di segala-gala--Freedom in every thing! " Change in the Angkola Batak kinship system in the last seventy to eighty years has indeed been considerable. Many of these changes have been reflected in Batak literature, which, in turn, has influenced the process. In fact, Batak oral and written literature has served the Batak as a medium for reformulating their kinship system in a time of rapid educational improvements, migration out of the ethnic homelands, and increasing contact with other ethnic societies and Indonesian nation al culture. In this paper I would like to investigate the relationship between Angkola Batak kinship and its locally authored literature as the society has modernized, fo cusing in particular on the subjects of courtship and marriage.

Feminist Education in Indonesian Novels Under the Domination of Patriarchy
International Journal of Gender and Women’s Studies December 2018, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 42-51 ISSN: 2333-6021 (Print), 2333-603X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijgws.v6n2p5 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijgws.v6n2p5 Feminist Education in Indonesian Novels Under the Domination of Patriarchy Wiyatmi1 Abstract This article is aimed at studying the representation of feminist education in Indonesian novels. This objective is inspired by the fact that, since the beginning of its development, Indonesian novels have raised the issues of women education which, in the tradition of feminism studies, is known as feminist research. Research shows that, although there emerges awareness of the importance of education for women, they are still positioned within the domestic arena. After pursuing their education, mostly in elementary and secondary schools, they must return to home, getting married, playing the role as wife and mother expected to be capable of taking care of the home well, and serving their husband. This points out to the dominance of the patriarcical ideology that places women in the domestic arena and men in the public arena. Such awareness truly is not always followed by permitting and giving women these educated women to make use of their knowledge to take part in the public sector; not even to merely exercise their autonomy in their own home. This is shown in the novels Azab dan Sengsara by Armijn Pane, Sitti Nurbaya by Marah Rusli, Kehilangan Mestika by Hamidah, Widyawati by Arti Purbani, and Para Priyayi by Umar Kayam.

How I Learned Batak: Studying the Angkola Batak Language in 1970s New O rder Indonesia Susan Rodgers1 How were "local languages" and "local cultures" constituted during the New Order? How was the visiting anthropologist construed during the Soeharto regime? How were anthropology and "culture" itself imagined in New Order times by diverse parties engaged in these profoundly politicized (if veiled) narrative discourses? John Pemberton's findings about New Order cultural imaginaries set out in his On the Subject of "Java"2 provide macro-level insight and excellent historical grounding for beginning to answer these questions, as Pemberton focuses on constructions of so- called traditions revolving around the royal court of Surakarta. This present essay offers an autobiographical, experiential parallel to Pemberton's work by setting out my memories of working with a seventy-six-year-old retired schoolteacher who taught me the Angkola Batak language in 1974 as part of my first term of fieldwork in Sipirok, South Tapanuli, North Sumatra. My teacher's pedagogies and language ideology were shaped by Dutch colonial visions of language and learning; his way of presenting his home language to me as a brilliant, civilizing gift was also animated by his discomfort and skepticism with the New Order government's negative stereotypes about so-called 1 Indonesian language and literature specialist Professor Sylvia Tiwon of the University of California- Berkeley first suggested to me that I write about my Batak language learning experiences. Without her suggestion, I would not have launched into this essay. English professor Helen Whall of Holy Cross gave early drafts a careful reading, for which I am deeply grateful.

Tema Dalam Novel-Novel Periode Balai Pustaka
TEMA DALAM NOVEL-NOVEL PERIODE BALAI PUSTAKA Devi Cintia Kasimbara1 Universitas PGRI Madiun (UNIPMA), Madiun, Indonesia) [email protected] Wahyuningsih2 Universitas PGRI Madiun (UNIPMA), Madiun, Indonesia) [email protected] Kodrat Eko Putro Setiawan3 Universitas PGRI Madiun (UNIPMA), Madiun, Indonesia) [email protected] ABSTRACT Balai Pustaka is the initial period of the emergence of modern Indonesian literature, so it is necessary to know more about the novels that have become milestones in the history of the emergence of modern Indonesian literature. During this period, many novels emerged with stories that had various similarities. This prompted the writer to find out what themes dominated the novels published in this period. In this study, the authors took six novel samples, namely Azab and Sengsara by Merari Siregar, Sitti Nurbaya by Marah Rusli, Salah Asuhan by Abdoel Moeis, Looking for the Thief of Virgins by Suman Hs., and Dian Yang Takdir Alisjahbana by S. Takdir Alisjahbana. The theory Robert Stanton is used as an analytical knife. In this theory, Stanton focused more on how to identify the theme of a literary work, where the theme is an aspect of the story that is parallel to the 'meaning' in human experience; something that makes an experience so memorable. The results of this study could be seen that the themes raised in the novels of the Balai Pustaka period have similarities, namely traditional issues, forced marriages, and the conflict between the old and young groups so that these novels have similarities in the issues raised. Keywords: themes, novels, Balai Pustaka 1.

The study draws on Todorov's conception of monologism and dialogism together with ideas of postcolonial theoreticians to analyse the nature of the encounter. The main part of the thesis compares how certain phenomena, ideas and realities were comprehended and represented in traditional Malay literature prior to the arrival of the British, and how their understanding and representation changed or otherwise after the arrival of the British. The issues specifically discussed include the image of the world (chapter 3), concepts of justice (chapter 4), education and technology (chapter 5) and the portrayal of the individual (chapter 6).

Perjuangan Emansipasi Wanita Yang Naif Dalam Kalau Tak Untung Dan Kehilangan Mestika
Perjuangan Emansipasi Wanita yang Naif PERJUANGAN EMANSIPASI WANITA YANG NAIF DALAM KALAU TAK UNTUNG DAN KEHILANGAN MESTIKA Haniah Abstract In general, novels describe about forced marriage which suffered women also pictured in two novels, Kalau Tak Untung, and Kehilangan Mestika. In this matter, the meaning and moral messages of both novels will be analyzed through reconstruction and reﬁection towards the novel as an effort to appreciate it. Kalau Tak Untung which is absolute in love story, or Kehilangan Mestika which is absolute in tolerances are thesis, but both are also antithesis from the previous book association, such as Sitti Nurbaya dan Azab dan Sengsara. Keywords: Emancipation,, forced marriage, reconstruction, reﬁection. A. Pendahuluan Novel-novel Balai Pustaka pada umumnya berkisah tentang kawin paksa yang sangat mengenaskan di pihak wanita karena kawin paksa pada akhirnya menimbulkan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dan korbannya tentu saja adalah kaum wanita, seperti yang terlukis dalam Azab dan Sengsara dan Sitti Nurbaya. Hal ini melahirkan gerakan emansipasi wanita yang berjuang menolak kawin paksa dan menuntut kawin berdasarkan cinta. Cinta dianggap dapat mencegah timbulnya kekerasan dalam rumah tangga karena dasarnya adalah persamaan hak. Namun, dalam perjuangan emansipasi ini banyak wanita yang terkecoh oleh cinta. Perjuangan mereka yang menggebu-gebu untuk menolak kawin paksa membuat mereka memutlakkan cinta, seperti Rasmani dalam Kalau Tak Untung (Sariamin, 1933) dan perjuangan mereka yang menggebu-gebmenggebu-gebuu untukuntuk menolak kekerasan dalam rumah tangga membuat mereka memutlakkan tenggang rasa, seperti Hamidah dalam Kehilangan Mestika (Hamidah,Hamidah, 1935). Rasmani dengan Pusat Bahasa Republik Indonesia, (021) 4758052 SAWOMANILA | 139 Perjuangan Emansipasi Wanita yang Naif tulus hati mencintai pria yang sudah bertunangan, sedangkan Hamidah dengan tulus hati merelakan suami yang dicintainya untuk kawin lagi demi anak yang tak mungkin dilahirkannya sendiri.
