Typical colonial thinking comprised a feeling of superiority, expressed in the relations the European dominators enforced and maintained in the areas they controlled in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. To a modern-day historian, this attitude obviously seems conceited, complacent, and, most of all, outdated. But even half a century after colonial domination, the traces of orientalist thinking remain vivid in academic and non-academic debates, (re)creating rigorous distance between West and East. Very clear boundaries in the roles of the colonizer and colonized state were persistently maintained in historiography, giving each historical figure a strictly delineated task in history. That the distance between east and west is not as obvious as alleged in current historiography becomes very clear when studying precolonial, colonial, and post-colonial societies without focussing merely on differences and demarcations. Though cross-cultural differences have been a constant obstacle in the fluent mutual understanding of all parties in colonial systems, the borders in the relation between colonizer and colonized became much vaguer and more hybrid than we usually imagine. Studying the colonial relationship of Europeans and Asians shows remarkable similarities in the historic perception of different peoples and different cultures, and makes us reconsider or own biases and perceptions of the societies and cultures of the areas we travel and explore. This thesis is the product of archival research conducted in Jakarta. More than once, I cursed this city and the country of which it is the capital for its bureaucracy, complicated and incomprehensible unwritten rules, or lack of tranquillity and air-conditioning. But being biased may have been a major contributing factor in my frustrations. For me, not only history, but also the environment where I studied helped me to overcome my biases. I am very grateful to staff of the ANRI for helping me in conducting my research, but also for providing me with great insight into Indonesian culture, bureaucracy and all other puzzling peculiarities a naive European student encounters when visiting the insane metropolis that surrounds the National Archives of Indonesia for the first time. My research and stay in Jakarta were made considerably easier by working closely together with the archivists of ANRI. Thanks to the hospitable people working at ANRI, I learned a lot about Indonesian history, but perhaps even more about modern day Indonesia. 6 Introduction At the end of the eighteenth century, Dutch presence in Asia had been rooted for two centuries on a commercially driven trading company-system. The VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie), the Dutch East India Trading Company, had become the largest actor in the Indian Ocean trading zone, shipping tons of various

Martinus Dwi Marianto July 1995 ABSTRACT Surrealist painting flourished in Yogyakarta around the middle of the 1980s to early 1990s. It became popular amongst art students in Yogyakarta, and formed a significant style of painting which generally is characterised by the use of casual juxtapositions of disparate ideas and subjects resulting in absurd, startling, and sometimes disturbing images. In this thesis, Yogyakartan Surrealism is seen as the expression in painting of various social, cultural, and economic developments taking place rapidly and simultaneously in Yogyakarta's urban landscape.

  • Reconnaissance Study Of
    (a) Large Reservoir and Small Pump Capacity In most drainage areas, a pumping station is characterized by storage of flood in a large reservoir placed at the pumping station so as to minimize pump capacity, thus initial cost and operation cost. Table 3.18 includes data of pump capacity and area of reservoir attached. However, as explained in the 1973 Master Plan Study Report, if pumps are small, the reservoir may not yet empty before the next rainstorm. (b) Complicated Network of Drainage System The pump drainage areas in the DKI Jakarta have complicated network of drains with a lot of gates. Flood water is so controlled by gates to distribute optimum discharge to downstream in consideration of flow capacity of main drain, pump capacity as well as down stream water level including Sea Level. (c) Planning without Consideration of Secondary and Tertiary Drains The other characteristics of drainage system in the DKI Jakarta is that existing pump capacity and starting water level of a reservoir of a pump drainage area are so determined that highest water level or the Design Flood Level along the main drain is lower than the existing bank elevation for one day flood with 25-year return period, assuming that most of rainfall can be drained to the main drain. However, there are a lot of flood prone areas in pump drainage areas. One cause of inundation in flood prone areas may be improper installation/maintenance of secondary/tertiary drains, though gravity drain can be attained. Also high Design Flood Level of main drain may be other causes why rainwater is difficult to be drained.

  • OVERVIEW of INDONESIA WATER SYSTEM and POLICIES1 Ir
    OVERVIEW OF INDONESIA WATER SYSTEM AND POLICIES1 Ir. M. Donny Azdan, MA., MS., Ph.D2 I. WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT REFORM Water resources management reform which is characterized by the enactment of Law No.7/2004 on Water Resources is intended to anticipate the complexity of water resources development problems and shifting in water resources management paradigm by giving more attention to social functions, environment and economy that is directed to achieve the synergic and harmonic integration of interregional, intersectoral, and intergenerational. Reformation started with the formation of the coordination team of Water Resources Management (TKPSDA) in 2001 in charge of formulating national policies on water resources and various policy tools, as well as encouraging the establishment of the new Water Resources Law. In line with the spirit of democratization, decentralization and openness, fundamental reforms in the Law of No.7/2004 is that the three main pillars of water resource management in the previous Law No.11/1974 which consists of the conservation, utilization and control of destructive force, is supported by three other pillars of community participation, steady institutional and good information systems and data. Principles of water resources management policies, which are contained in the Law of No. 7/2004 are derived into seven government regulations (GR)3, namely Water Resources Management, Irrigation, Development of Drinking Supply System (SPAM), Ground Water, Dams, Rivers, and Swamp. Until the year of 2011, the government has published six regulations except for regulation on swamp4. Principles of water resources reform through Law of No.7/2004 are: 1. Clarity of water resources management responsibilities between central and regional In accordance with the Law No.7/2004, water resources management is conducted based on river basin.

BTJ recounts the genealogy of Javanese kings until the reign of Pakubuwana II in Kartasura. BTJ in this episode expresses the steps of Sultan Agung to knit the continuity of the power of the Mataram dynasty in controlling Java and Madura. The political steps taken by Sultan Agung in legitimizing power were trusted by the people as an attitude that was directly inspired by God. The speech story recorded in the BTJ within the limits of this study contains three important motives, namely (1) spiritual motives, (2) political, and (3) power. Information in the BTJ should be seen as a Javanese perspective in interpreting its world and king's greatness, not as a historical turn. Keyword: spiritual logic, Mataram dynasty, knowledge motive, political motive, power Motive Introduction Sultan Agung Hanyakrakusuma ruled in Mataram from 1613-1645. Sultan Agung was recorded in the genealogy of the Mataram kings as the third generation ruler after Panembahan Senapati and Susuhunan Krapyak.

    POLITIK KOLONIAL DAN PERKEMBANGAN SENI TARI DI PURO PAKUALAMAN PADA MASA PEMERINTAHAN PAKU ALAM IV (1864-1878) Oleh : HY. Agus Murdiyastomo ABSTRAK Pusat budaya di Yogyakarta selama ini yang lebih banyak diketahui oleh masyarakat adalah Kraton Kasultanan Yogyakarta, tetapi sesungguhnya selain Kraton Kasutanan masih terdapat pusat budaya yang lain yaitu Pura Paku Alaman. Di Kadipaten telah terlahir tokoh-tokoh yang sangat memperhatikan kelestarian budaya Jawa khususnya seni tari tradisi. Salah satunya adalah Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Aryo Paku Alam IV, yang pada masa ia berkuasa, budaya Barat yang dibawa oleh kaum kolonialis melanda daerah jajahan. Hadirnya budaya asing tentu sulit untuk ditolak. Namun demikian denga piawainya KGPAA Paku Alam IV, justru mengadopsi budaya Barat, tetapi ditampilkan dengan rasa dan estetika Jawa, dalam bentuk tari klasik. Sehingga pada masanya lahir repertoar tari baru yang memperkaya seni tari tradisi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perkembangan seni tari di Pura Pakualaman pada masa pemerintahan KGPAA Paku Alam IV, dan hal-hal apa yang melatarbelakangi penciptaannya. Dalam rangka mewujudkan rekonstruksi ini dilakukan dengan metode sejarah kritis, yang tahapannya meliputi Pertama, Heuristik, atau pencarian dan pengumpulan sumber data sejarah, yang dalam hal ini dilakukan di BPAD DIY, dan di Perpustakaan Pura Pakualaman. Di kedua lembaga tersebut tersimpan arsip tentang Paku Alaman, dan juga naskah- naskah yang berkaitan dengan penciptaan tari. Kedua, Kritik, atau pengujian terhadap sumber-sumber yang terkumpul, sumber yang telah terkumpul diuji dari segi fisik untuk memperoleh otentisitas, kemudian membandingkan informasi yang termuat dengan informasi dari sumber yang berbeda, untuk memperoleh keterpercayaan atau kredibilitas. Ketiga, Interpretasi yaitu informasi yang ada dikaji untuk diangkat fakta-fakta sejarahnya, yang kemudian dirangkai menjadi sebuah kisah sejarah.
