  • Representation of Pluralism in Literary History from Riau Island, Indonesia
    Athens Journal of Philology - Volume 6, Issue 2 – Pages 83-104 Representation of Pluralism in Literary History from Riau Island, Indonesia By Mu᾽jizah One kind of the genre in literature is literary history, often called historiography traditional. In 17th--19th century this type of work was commonly found in the Riau Island manuscripts, especially in Pulau Penyengat. This area in ancient times became a scriptorium of Malay manuscripts. Several authors and scribes’ works, such as Raja Haji, Raja Ali Haji, Raja Ibrahim, and Salamah Binti Ambar and a descendant of Encik Ismail bin Datuk Karkun, were found in the region. Their works among others are Tuhafat An-Nafis, Silsilah Melayu, dan Bugis, and Hikayat Negeri Johor. In Indonesia, the manuscripts are kept in the National Library of Indonesia in Jakarta and Indrasakti Foundation in Riau Island. Some manuscripts among others were found in the Leiden University Library and KITLV Library in Netherlands. The historiography is useful to explore the source of historical knowledge, especially in search for understanding the process in the formation of Malay ethnic group with plural identities in Indonesia. The aim is to find representation of pluralism in the past Malay literary history which has contributed and strengthened nationalism. In the study we use qualititative research and descriptive methods of analysis. The research has found that the Malay ethnic group in Indonesia derived from various ethnic groups that integrated and became a nation with pluralities. According to the myth, the Malay ethnic group came from the unity between the upper-world or the angelic world and the under-world depicted as the marriage between Putri Junjung Buih and a human being.

After following developments today as developments in the field of science and technology, the process of spreading Islam has progressed. After Islam was accepted by the king and the people of Kutai in a peaceful manner. So the King of the Crown Prince or the Noble King of Islam ordered his people to abandon the teachings of their religion by replacing Islam. The development of Islamic religious teachings increased rapidly with the birth of several Islamic organizations which not only fought for the interests of a group of people but also maintained the existence of Islam, besides the strategic location of Kutai Kartanegara. The Central Kalimantan region is central, causing it to get migration from all parties which gives rise to races and acculturation of cultures which gives rise to a culture that has a variety of styles. In the 16th century, the migration of the Malay to the East was due to the pressure of political pressure which violently flared in western Indonesia with the fall of Malacca in 1511 AD. The great flow of Malay migration to the East began with capital to Makassar where they controlled spices. -rempah Maluku together with Javanese people.

Condet Pejaten No. 4, Jakarta Selatan 12510 [email protected] Endang Sri Hardiati [email protected] Abstrak. Berbicara tentang awal pengaruh Hindu Buddha di Nusantara sejauh ini selalu dimulai pada sekitar abad ke-5 M. yang ditandai oleh kehadiran kerajaan Kutai dan Tarumanagara di Nusantara dan masih sedikit perhatian terhadap periode sebelum itu. Padahal periode awal sampai dengan abad ke-5 M. adalah periode krusial bagi munculnya kerajaan yang bercorak Hindu- Buddha di Nusantara. Penelitian terhadap periode awal sejarah dimaksudkan untuk mengungkapkan dinamika sosial ekonomi yang terjadi di masyarakat Nusantara sehingga mampu menerima dan menyerap unsur-unsur budaya asing (India) yang pada puncaknya memunculkan sejumlah ARKENASkerajaan bersifat Hindu-Buddha di Nusantara. Metode analisis yang dipakai adalah metode analisis tipologis dan kontekstual serta beberapa analisis C-14 atas temuan diharapkan dapat menjelaskan kondisi masyarakat Nusantara pada masa lalu. Hasil penelitian ini dapat mengidentifikasikan sejumlah tinggalan arkeologi seperti sisa tiang rumah, sisa perahu, keramik, tembikar, manik-manik, alat logam, dan sejumlah kubur yang diidentifikasi berasal dari periode awal sejarah. Berdasarkan tinggalan tersebut dapat direkonstruksi kondisi sosial-ekonomi masyarakat Nusantara dan peranannya di dunia internasional di Kawasan Asia Tenggara. Kata kunci: Awal sejarah, Hindu-Buddha, Nusantara, Budaya India. Abstract. Early Hindu-Buddhist Influence in the Indonesian Nusantara. So far discussions about early Hindu-Buddhist influence in the Indonesian Archipelago (Nusantara) have always been started at around 5th Century AD, which is characterized by the presence of the kingdoms of Kutai and Tarumanagara in the archipelago, while the earlier period is barely noticed although the period between early and 5th century AD is a crucial period for the emergence of Hindu- Buddhist kingdoms in the archipelago.

    S t a t e , C it y , C o m m e r c e : T h e C a s e o f B im a ' Henri Chambert-Loir On the map of the Lesser Sunda Islands, between Bali and Lombok in the west and Flores, Sumba, and Timor in the east, lies the island of Sumbawa, a compact, homogenous fief of Islam in the midst of a religious mosaic, of which history has not yet finished modi­ fying the pattern. From west to east the island, which forms part of the Nusa Tenggara province, is divided into three kabupaten : Sumbawa, Dompu, and Bima. Today the latter contains almost 430,000 inhabitants,* 1 of whom probably 70,000 live in the twin agglomera­ tions of Bima and Raba. The Present Town The Raba quarter developed at the beginning of this century when the kingdom of Bima was integrated into the Netherlands Indies. It contains the main administrative buildings: the offices of the bupati, located in the foimer house of the Assistant-Resident, the regional parliament (DPRD), and the local headquarters of the various administrative services. The urban center remains that of the former capital o f the sultanate, in the vicinity of the bay. In contrast to the governmental pole concentrated in Raba, the agglomeration of Bima contains the main centers of social life, both past and present. The former palace of the Sultans (N° 4 on Fig. 2) is an imposing masonry edifice built at the beginning of this century. Today it is practically deserted and will probably be converted into a museum.
