Phd Thesis Tamara Aberle Socially-engaged theatre performances in contemporary Indonesia Tamara Alexandra Aberle Royal Holloway, University of London PhD Thesis 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Tamara Alexandra Aberle, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis argues that performances of contemporary theatre in Indonesia are socially- engaged, actively creating, defining and challenging the socio-political environment, and that theatre practitioners are important members of a vibrant civil society who contribute and feel actively committed to democratic processes. Following an initial chapter about the history of modern theatre from the late 19th century until the fall of President Suharto in 1998, the four core chapters centre on four different aspects of contemporary Indonesian socio-politics: historical memory and trauma, violence and human rights, environmentalism, and social transition. Each of these chapters is preceded by an introduction about the wider historical and socio-political context of its respective discourse and is followed by an analysis of selected plays. Chapter 2 focuses on historical trauma and memory, and relates the work of two theatre artists, Papermoon Puppet Theatre and Agus Nur Amal (a.k.a. PM Toh), to processes seeking truth and reconciliation in Indonesia in the post-Suharto era. Chapter 3, on violence and human rights, discusses the works of Ratna Sarumpaet and B. Verry Handayani, with a specific focus on human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and labour migration. Chapter 4 discusses environmentalism on the contemporary stage. It investigates the nature of environmental art festivals in Indonesia, taking Teater Payung Hitam’s 2008 International Water Festival as an example. It also contrasts a recent performance by Teater Payung Hitam with the work of teaterStudio Indonesia. Finally, Chapter 5 focuses on theatre practitioners’ engagement with political, social and cultural transition. It examines works from Teater Garasi, a group whose performances deal with friction, identity loss and change, commenting on a society in transition . 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank all the Indonesian theatre practitioners and art workers who generously shared their time and knowledge with me. Without them, writing this thesis would have been impossible. In no particular order, I would like to thank Agus Nur Amal (PM Toh), Harris Priadie Bah and family, the late Mas Adji (Ags. Arya Dipayana) and Meyke Vierna of Teater Tetas and the whole Tetas community for letting me join their rehearsals in Bulungan - Jakarta, Yudi Ahmad Tajudin, Gunawan (Cindhil) Maryanto, Joel Taher, B. Verry Handayani, and all the Teater Garasi actors and staff who accommodated me during my stay in Indonesia in 2005, and generously shared more time with me in 2009 and 2011 for informal discussions and interviews. Particular thanks to Ratri and Lusi for organizing DVDs and other materials for me. Thanks also to Halim HD, Agus Noor, the late Pak Heri Kesawa Murti of Teater Gandrik, Putu Wijaya, Afrizal Malna, Wawan Sofwan, Ratna Sarumpaet, Lena Simanjuntak, Iswadi Pratama and his wife Imas Sobariah, Abi Kurniawan and Pak Hasyim Maulauna, Maria (Ria) Tri Sulistyani and her husband Iwan Effendi from Papermoon Puppet Theatre, Radhar Panca Dahana, the late Nandang Aradea, Rachman Sabur and Mas Ade from Teater Payung Hitam, Jose Rizal Manua, Rossa Rosadi, Jeanni Park and Besar Widodo, Egbert Wits and the Yayasan Kelola team, and Dewi Noviami from Dewan Kesenian Jakarta (Jakarta Arts Council). My friends Jheni Rinjo and her family, Wawan, Putri, Yen, Maroel and Yuri, Christelle and Koko, and the Siagian family made my stays in Indonesia worthwhile and I am extremely grateful to Priska, Nida and Imel for transcribing my interviews. My supervisor Matthew Isaac Cohen always had an open ear and a clear mind when I got stuck, and for his thoughtful advice, sharing of knowledge and time I am very grateful. I also want to express my thanks to Prof. Helen Gilbert, who supervised my work in my first year at Royal Holloway. The first PhD research period in summer 2009 was generously supported by the Helen Shackleton Fund of Royal Holloway, University of London. During my second research period, from August 2010 to March 2011, I was working as a German tutor at the Universitas Negeri Jakarta to fund my research. The university sponsored my visa for 7 months and the Central Research Fund partially funded the travel costs for this trip, for which I am thankful. 4 Last but not least I am thoroughly indebted to my parents Ilona and Albert, friends and colleagues Steffi, Helly, Conny, Michaela, Christina, Jana, Petra, and my London family Monia, Jo and Peppe for supporting me - always. 5 Table of Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................................................... 8 Chapter 1: A history of modern Indonesian theatre ........................................................................ 41 Chapter 2: Performances as sites of memory and trauma in Indonesia ........................................ 80 Papermoon Puppet Theatre: 30 September Movement - Coming to terms with the past ....... 87 Mwathirika – Staging history ..................................................................................................... 88 PM Toh – Reconstructing memory, constructing the future .................................................... 104 TV Eng Ong: “Aiming for a brighter future” ........................................................................ 109 Chapter 3: Human rights, violence and theatre ............................................................................. 118 The issue of migrant workers: B.

  • 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

    THE THORNY ROSE: THE AVOIDANCE OF PASSION IN MODERN INDONESIAN LITERATURE1 Harry Aveling One of the important shortcomings of modern Indonesian literature is the failure of its authors, on the whole young, well-educated men of the upper and more modernized strata of society, to deal in a convincing manner with the topic of adult heterosexual passion. This problem includes, and partly arises from, an inadequacy in portraying realistic female char­ acters which verges, at times, on something which might be considered sadism. What is involved here is not merely an inability to come to terms with Western concepts of romantic love, as explicated, for example, by the late C. S. Lewis in his book The Allegory of Love. The failure to depict adult heterosexual passion on the part of modern Indonesian authors also stands in strange contrast to the frankness and gusto with which the writers of the various branches of traditional Indonesian and Malay litera­ ture dealt with this topic. Indeed it stands in almost as great a contrast with the practice of Peninsular Malay literature today. In Javanese literature, as Pigeaud notes in his history, The Literature of Java, "Poems and tales describing erotic situations are very much in evidence . descriptions of this kind are to be found in almost every important mythic, epic, historical and romantic Javanese text."^ In Sundanese literature, there is not only the open violence of Sang Kuriang's incestuous desires towards his mother (who conceived him through inter­ course with a dog), and a further wide range of openly sexual, indeed often heavily Oedipal stories, but also the crude direct­ ness of the trickster Si-Kabajan tales, which so embarrassed one commentator, Dr.

Oh, because I am longing, Longing for those who went abroad, Oh rabab, yes rabab, please spread the message To the people far away, so they'll come home quickly (From the popular Minangkabau traditional song 'Rabab'.) 1. Introduction: Changing mediascapes and emerging regional metaphors Traditionally each village federation in Minangkabau had its own repertoire of musical genres, tunes, and melodies, in which local historiography and songs of origin blended and the meta-landscape of alam Minangkabau (the Minangkabau universe) was depicted.1 Today, with the ever-increasing disper- sion of Minangkabau migrants all over Southeast Asia, the conception of the Minangkabau world is no longer restricted to the province of West Sumatra. 1 Earlier versions of this article were presented at the 34th Conference of the International Council of Traditional Music, Nitra, Slovakia, August 1996, and the VA/AVMI (Leiden Uni- versity) symposium on Media Cultures in Indonesia, 2-7 April 2001. Its present form owes much to critical comments received from audiences there. I would like to sincerely thank also my colleagues Suryadi, for his suggestions regarding the translations from the Minangkabau, and Robert Wessing, for his critical scrutiny of my English.

  • Identity, Minority, and the Idea of a Nation: a Closer Look at Frieda (1951) by Dr
    Vol. 1 Journal of Korean and Asian Arts SPRING 2020 Identity, Minority, and the Idea of a Nation: a Closer Look at Frieda (1951) by Dr. Huyung Umi Lestari / Universitas Multimedia Nusantara 【Abstract】 The discourse on film nasional (national film) in Indonesia always started by bringing up Darah dan Doa (1950, Blood and Prayer) as the foundation of the Indonesian film industry. The prominent film historian, Misbach Yusa Biran, stated that Darah dan Doa was produced with national consciousness value. The legacy of Darah dan Doa was not only neglecting the role of filmmakers from pre-Independence in Indonesia but also the role of other filmmakers during the 1950s, including Dr. Huyung. Previously, Dr. Huyung (Hinatsu Eitaro /Hŏ Yŏng) came from Korea and became a supporter of Imperial Japan during World War II. After Indonesia gained her independence, Huyung joined Berita Film Indonesia and became a film teacher at the Cine Drama Institute and Kino Drama Atelier. It was there that they then went on to make Frieda (1951), Bunga Rumah Makan (1951, The Flower of the Restaurant), Kenangan Masa (1951, Memories of the Past), and Gadis Olahraga (1951, the Sportswoman). This article discusses 'unity in diversity', a concept in filmmaking that was started by Huyung in 1949. When discussing Darah and Doa as the first film nasional, people forget that the film is driven from the military perspective. Meanwhile, Huyung tried to represent an ethnic minority in Frieda and showing that the ordinary people and the intellectuals also shaped the nation. Based on his experience in the Japanese army and Berita Film Indonesia, Huyung understood that film was very useful in achieving the goals of the state apparatus, due to the cinema's ability to spread nationalism.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

The lie of the persecution of Ratna Sarumpaet was to cover up that Ratna had carried out plastic surgery that she did not want to show to the public. Her issue was in the media spotlight because she was also the National Campaigner for the presidential and vice-presidential candidate, Prabowo-Sandiaga. The story of the persecution of Ratna Sarumpaet is controversial because the case Ratna Sarumpaet hoax is full of political interests between the two camps of Jokowi- Ma'ruf and Prabowo-Sandiaga. The main objective of this research is to analyze the online media Kompas.com and Republika.co.id in framing the political news of the Ratna Sarumpaet case.

  • The “Aceh Method” As a Mode of “Seeing” Vernacular Knowledge
    Proceedings of International Conference on Architecture 2017 (ICRP-AVAN), Unsyiah (Banda Aceh) and UiTM (Perak), October 18-19, 2017, Banda Aceh, Indonesia The “Aceh Method” as a mode of “seeing” Vernacular Knowledge Julie Nichols1, Darren Fong1, Naufal Fadhil2 1School of Art, Architecture and Design, University of South Australia, GPO Box 2471 Adelaide, South Australia 5001, Australia 2Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT By re-envisioning Acehnese buildings through contemporary technological tools, the “Aceh Method” presents to scholars and local people a new way of seeing historical information that re-introduces a unique capture of architectural and cultural heritage. Some of the key problems informing the study of the Acehnese house are illuminated by establishing associations between information which is not normally read or interpreted together, and therefore results in new relationships or “ways of seeing” a rich heritage. The “Aceh Method” employs different forms of technology and skillsets to drive an outcome – a model of interpretation and structure which can be transferred between environments, purposes and cultures. Given Aceh’s catastrophic losses from the tsunami in 2004 particularly in terms of their people and their built cultural heritage records, a transferrable record, distributed to multiple locations offers a safeguarding and endurance of this newly recorded materials. It also offers a “way of seeing” and capturing heritage as a reference for future post-disaster reconstruction strategies. Notably a way of seeing reveals both ‘seen’ and ‘unseen’ conditions. These records will present a typology of housing well-suited to the socio-cultural and environmental conditions as well as a vernacular way of existing in the world, which may not be evident to aid workers and NGOs when they are presented with the colossal task of post-disaster reconstruction.

In fact, it has been written by many contribu- tors from all over the world – women, men, activists, and scholars from very different socio-cultural contexts and political horizons, who give testimony to an even greater scope of social change. Their common concern is to show not only that alternatives do exist, despite the neoliberal mantra of the “end of history”, but that many of these alternatives are currently unfolding – even if in many cases they remain invisible to us. This book brings together a selection of texts portraying transformative processes around the world that are emblematic in that they been able to change their situated social realities in multiple ways, addressing different axes of domination simultaneously, and anticipating forms of social organization that configure alternatives to the commodi- fying, patriarchal, colonial, and destructive logics of modern capitalism.
