Abstract: Historical novels help fill some shortages in exploring social facts or mental facts which are not recorded in the document sources. The macro formulation of this study is “How was the narration of national movements in Indonesia (1900-1942) in the field of economic and politic from historical novels perspective?” The researches chose historical method as the research methodology and literature study as the research technique. The finding of the study showed that: First, The described economic setting was about: industrialization, regents’ tyrany, anxiety of China’s arrival, jealousy of indigenous economy, as well as capitalism octopus in the Indies after the enactment of the Agrarian Law 1870. Second, Political setting described in historical novels themed Indonesian national movement, were: the emergence of educated class, the emergence of various national movement organizations, revolutionary awareness, the struggle of educated class towards Indonesian’s political rights, the appearance of volksraad, left ideology, the authority of Netherland queens, indigenous’s conflicts and their invaders, concerns about the yellow’s dangers (China and Japan), the expansion of Japanese Military, stratification in politics, and the bureaucracy of colonial government. The implication of this research is that the historical novel has its own narrative of history that enriches the knowledge of Indonesian history. 1 INTRODUCTION and this is also experienced by the students who face some obstacles in understanding the duality of Stories can give meaning to various experiences in historical fiction (Barone, Oswalt, Barone, 2014). social and cultural setting systems and various other Historical novels are included into two broaders abstract things.

    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.

  • Biography, History and the Indonesian Novel Reading Salah Asuhan
    keith foulcher Biography, history and the Indonesian novel Reading Salah Asuhan The novel Salah Asuhan (Wrong Upbringing), written by the Indonesian nationalist politician and journalist Abdoel Moeis, has long held an hon- oured place in the modern Indonesian literary canon.1 It was originally pub- lished in 1928 by Balai Poestaka, the Netherlands Indies government printing house, and by 1995 it had been reprinted twenty-three times. In summary form, it has been studied by generations of Indonesian schoolchildren, and in 1972 it was adapted by Asrul Sani as a successful feature film. Critics and historians of modern Indonesian literature have always regarded Salah Asuhan as a literary milestone. It is admired for the maturity of its author’s literary imagination, as well as the modernity of its language and style. In linguistic terms, it is seen as one of the pioneering literary expressions of the language which was designated as Bahasa Indonesia in the very year of the novel’s publication. It exercises an additional fascination for literary critics and historians because of the circumstances of its publication. The form in which it was originally written is now unknown, for the novel was only pub- lished after a lengthy delay and a series of revisions which the author made to the text after seeing his manuscript languish for more than a year under the scrutiny of Balai Poestaka’s editors. As a result, the original conception of Salah Asuhan remains a mystery. Indeed, it is one of the greatest puzzles in a literary history that is so full of documentary lacunae that its serious study remains a source of ongoing challenge and frustration.2 1 I wish to thank Karen Entwistle and Doris Jedamski for giving me access to some of the reference material used in this article.

    A Psychological Thriller in Donna Tartt’s the Goldfinch Abu Fanani (A Lecturer In Faculty of Adab and Humanities UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya) Abstract In this article, the researcher analyzes a psychological thriller in the form of anxiety in Donna Tartt’s the Goldfinch . The researcher then uses psychological theory. The researcher analyzes the main character that undergoes a psychological worry; anxiety. At last, the researcher draws conclusion that the main character, Theodore Decker undergoes recurrent recollection(s), feeling humiliated, worry, fear, nightmares, and feelings of terror. Key Words : anxiety, feeling humiliated, worry, fear, nightmares, feelings of terror. Introduction Literature and society remain inseparable in that their existence influences each other; on one hand, literature affects society. On the other hand, society affects literature. Levin (Scott, 1962:126) states that literature and society are mutually connected. Both affect each other in that society gets the literature’s effect, on the other hand, literature gets the society’s effect. Similar to this statement, Olsen (1978:203-204) has the idea of the influence of literature to society as well as of society to literature. The researcher may well, as to the influence of literature to society, refer to a work by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle’s Tom’s Cabin or Life among the Lowly influences the society to be social emancipation, to abolish racial discrimination between black and white people (Hardjana, 1981:70-71).

    PRAMOEDYA ANANTA TOER AND CHINA: THE TRANSFORMATION OF A CULTURAL INTELLECTUAL Hong Liu As one of the most prominent writers in Indonesia, Pramoedya Ananta Toer has been at the center of a number of valuable studies which carefully document his intellectual journey and his place in modern Indonesian cultural history.* 1 It has been generally agreed that the years between 1956 and 1959 were crucial in the evolution of Pramoedya's cultural and political thinking. In an effort to trace the causes of this change, the existing literature focuses almost exclusively on Indonesia's turbulent domestic political transformation and its impact on Pramoedya; very little attention * This is an expanded version of a chapter from my doctoral dissertation, "'The China Metaphor': Indonesian Intellectuals and the PRC, 1949-1965" (Ohio University, 1995). I am indebted to William H. Frederick for his constructive and thorough comments. Charles Alexander, Donald Jordan, Benedict Anderson, Chen Xiaru, Go Gien Tjwan, Kent Mulliner, Kohar Rony, Yong Mun-Cheong, and Tsing Yuan have been helpful in shaping my understanding of the complex questions relating to China in Indonesia, for which I am grateful.

Belanda mendominasi pribumi. Pendominasian Belanda terhadap pribumi diperlihatkan stereotip-stereotip kebinatangan oleh pihak Belanda kepada pribumi, dan pendiskriminasian warna kulit oleh kolonial. Belanda memandang dirinya lebih beradab daripada pribumi karena Belanda memiliki warna kulit putih, sedangkan pribumi memiliki kulit hitam, atau bukan kulit putih. Pandangan Belanda itu terkonstruksi dalam pikiran dan perilaku mereka sehingga stereotip-stereotip bahwa pribumi itu terbelakang, lamban atau malas, dan seperti binatang (kera atau beruk), muncul atau berkembang.

  • A Study of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe in Indonesian
    Translation as a Political Identity Practice of Colonial: A study of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe in Indonesian Literature in 1900 Era Dwi Susanto1 and Nur Saptaningsih2 1,2Indonesian Department, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The presence of translation literature in colonial society has put effects on the colonialization process through the construction of identity. The Robinson Crusoe novel in Indonesian literature shows a similar point. The main problems dealing with the presence of the work are how the construction of colonial identity was realized and how the reaction was in Indonesian literature. By using postcolonial perspective, with a special attention to translation and identity, this paper provides answers to these questions. First, Robinson Crusoe shows the idea of super human identity, favoring reason and ability (culture) to conquer and enlighten the nature. This is the desire of colonialism introduced in the text. Secondly, Indonesian literature is resistant, reintroducing the spiritual idea of the East. This, for example, appears in Abdul Moeis’ Salah Asuhan (1928) and Dahlia’s Kesopanan Timoer (1932). From both works, Western culture and its development were used as a means to achieve the ideals of the East. Keywords: Identity; Translation Literature; Postcolonial 1. INTRODUCTION The presence of Western translation literature in Indonesian literature leads to the question of identity and colonialism. This is related to the view that the translation of foreign literary is part of colonial practice. This topic or assumption has been discussed by experts in postcolonial literary, [1],[2]. In addition, various studies conducted by experts also show that literary translation and other forms of translation have implications for the issue of identity.
