Discourses such as patriarchal discourses circumscribing the social engagement and public life of Muslim women portray them in narrow gendered parameters in which women occupy rather limited public roles. Western colonial discourse often constructed Muslim women as oppressed and backward. Each such discourse indeed denies women’s agency and maturity to form their own definition of identity within the broad Islamic parameters. Rewriting women’s own identities are articulated in various forms from writing to visualisation, from fiction to non fiction. All expressions signify women’s ways to react against the silencing and muteness that have long imposed upon women’s agency. In Indonesian literary culture today, numerous women writers have represented in their writings women’s own ways to look at their own selves. Literary representations become one group among others trying to portray women’s strategies that will give them maximum control over their lives and bodies. Muslim women writers in Indonesia have shown through their representations of Muslim women in their writings that Muslim women in Indonesian settings are capable of undergoing a self-definition process. However, from their writings too, readers are reminded that although most women portrayed are strong and assertive it does not necessarily mean that they are free of oppression. The thesis is about Muslim women and gender-related issues in Indonesia. It focuses on the writings of four contemporary Indonesian Muslim women writers: Titis Basino P I, Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim, Abidah El Kalieqy and Helvy Tiana Rosa, primarily looking at how gender is constructed and in turn constructs the identity, roles and status of Musim women in Indonesia and how such relations are portrayed, covering issues of authenticity, representation and power inextricably intertwined in a variety of aesthetic forms and narrative structures. vi Table of Contents Page Number Title Page……………………………………………………………………………… i Dedication Page……………………………………………………………………….. ii Acknowledgements...…...……………………………………………………………... iii Abstract………...……………………………………………………………………… iv Table of Contents.…………………………………………………………………...… v Introduction……………………………………………………………………………...1 Chapter 1 Women and Islam in Muslim Societies: Some General Issues……………….………..20 Chapter 2 Theorising Islamic Feminism…………………………………………………………..61 Chapter 3 From Global to Local: General Perspective of Gender Issues and Islam in Pre-Independence Indonesia……………………………………………………………87 Chapter 4 From Global to Local: General Perspective of Gender Issues and Islam in Post-Independence Indonesia…………………………………………………………114 Chapter 5 Muslim Women Writers in Indonesian Literary Tradition: Walking Their Path for Existence…………………………………………………………………………..149 Chapter 6 Authors, Their Worlds and the Female Traditions………………….………………...182 vii Chapter 7 Representation, Identity and Religion: Images of Muslim Women, Their Lives and Struggles in Fiction (Part I)……………………..………………………………..206 Chapter 8 Representation, Identity and Religion: Images of Muslim Women, Their Lives and Struggles in Fiction (Part II)……………………….…………………………….257 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………….293 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………..298 Appendixes……………………………………………………………………………330 viii Introduction Women, gender and Islam will always be a contested site because women’s locus in relation to Islam is problematic when their status is manifested through the eyes of the practiced Islam. Various interpretations of Islam have managed to define, locate and perhaps entrap women under certain fixed categories. Amina Wadud and her attempts to break the hegemony of patriarchal fiqh is an example of the problematic female position in Islam. Her endeavour to be an imam, by leading a Friday prayer in New York, triggered a strong controversy.1 The possibility of a woman leading prayer of male and female congregation resulted in outbursts from Muslim leaders and Islamic scholars. However, where many religious authorities condemned her action several others supported her. What Wadud had attempted to do clearly brings gender issues into focus as the idea of female imam for mixed gender congregation remains a controversial issue. Amina Wadud is not the only woman struggling to conduct new readings of the Islamic teachings. The 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian Muslim woman judge, has shown that Wadud is not working alone. Ebadi, the first Muslim Nobel Laureate woman from an Islamic state focuses on the congruence of the discourse of human rights and Islam and its demanded actions. Her mission as defender of human rights in general and women’s and children rights in particular in Iran, within an Islamic discourse, has made her an inspiration for other Muslim women. Ebadi believes that her use of Islam as a strong support in articulating and advancing human rights is justified. She states: [the] divine book (the Qur’an) sees the mission of all prophets as that of inviting all human beings

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.

That’s phenomenon are so many women writer whose productive in writing poetry or fiction. Is this a suddenly phenomenon? There is a series moment that couldn’t ignored, because there were some women writers in the beginning of Indonesian literary history, especially in 1920- ies, a milestone in modern Indonesian literary history. The modern Indonesian literary history itself is impact of acculturation by western culture. This acculturation appears in Kartini herself, a woman writer who never mention in history about her literature activity. Limitation to women writers in the past often interrelated by the edge of their role, for example, they were: never categorized as qualified literature writer, or as a popular writer, or just a peripheral writer, not as a prominent writer in their generation of writer. Is installation of Ayu Utami as a pioneer in novel genre in Indonesian 2000 Generation of Literature as one strategy of contrary to what happen recently? Apparently, the emergent of women writers weren’t automatically had relation by feminism movement. The writer who had struggle for Kartini’s history is Pramoedya Ananta Toer, a man writer. Key words: women writers, feminism, Indonesia literary history, the role of historical writing. A.

  • Epistemologi Intuitif Dalam Resepsi Estetis H.B. Jassin Terhadap Al-Qur'an
    Epistemologi Intuitif dalam Resepsi Estetis H.B. Jassin terhadap Al-Qur’an Fadhli Lukman1 Abstract This article discusses two projects of well-known literary critic H.B. Jassin on the Qur’an. Jassin’s great career in literary criticism brought him to the domain of al-Qur’an, with his translation of the Qur’an Al-Qur’anul Karim Bacaan Mulia and his rearrangement of the writing of the Qur’an into poetic makeup. Using descriptive and analytical methods, this article concludes that the two works of H.B. Jassin came out of his aesthetic reception of the Qur’an. Epistemologically, these two kinds of reception are the result of Jassin intuitive senses, which he nourished for a long period. Abstrak Artikel ini membincang dua proyek sastrawan kenamaan Indonesia, H.B. Jassin, seputar Al-Qur’an. Karir besar Jassin dalam sastra mengantarkannya kepada ranah al-Qur’an, dengan karya terjemahan berjudul Al-Qur’anul Karim Bacaan Mulia dan penulisan mushaf berwajah puisi. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, artikel ini berakhir pada kesimpulan bahwa kedua karya H.B Jassin merupakan resepsi estetisnya terhadap Al-Qur’an. Berkaitan dengan epistemologi, kedua bentuk resepsi ini merupakan hasil dari pengetahuan intuitif Jassin yang ia asah dalam waktu yang panjang.

In addition to reading, digesting, and understanding the current city charter, the committee undertook the task of determining how it really works in practice. To this end, the committee used information and data obtained from various sources, as follows: • Testimony from present and past elected city officials who have had direct experience in working under the current charter. • A survey of selected community leaders conducted to assess their willingness to run for office under the current charter vs. alternative charters. • A survey of city employees to assess their experience in how the charter contriButes to or detracts from their job functions, and to solicit their views about the charter itself. • One-on-one interviews with Business leaders and agencies that routinely work with the city. This report presents the information from the above sources and the committee’s conclusions. Although the committee and the entire commission memBers did review and study the Broader literature regarding forms of city government, this report does not represent this Broader perspective. The report is focused on the information we have obtained specific to Saratoga Springs, all of which have Been newly obtained in the last several months.

  • Bab V Kesimpulan Dan Saran
    BAB V KESIMPULAN DAN SARAN A. Kesimpulan Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan pembahasan yang telah dilakukukan, maka diperoleh beberapa kesimpulan sebagai berikut: 1. Penulis Indonesia Amir Hamzah (1911–1946) telah menulis 50 puisi, 18 prosa lirik, 12 artikel, 4 cerita pendek, 3 koleksi puisi, dan 1 buku. Ia juga telah menerjemahkan 44 puisi, 1 prosa lirik, dan 1 buku. Meioritas puisi asli buatan Hamzah disertakan dalam antologinya, Njanji Soenji (1937) dan Boeah Rindoe (1941), keduanya pertama kali diterbitkan di Poedjangga Baroe. Puisi-puisi terjemahannya diantologikan di Setanggi Timoer (1939). Pada tahun 1962, pembuat dokumenter HB Jassin menyatukan semua karya Hamzah yang tersisa – termasuk Sastera Melajoe Lama dan Radja-Radja'nja – menjadi buku Amir Hamzah: Radja Penjair Pudjangga Baru. 2. Amir mulai menulis puisi saat masih remaja: meskipun karya-karyanya tidak bertanggal, yang paling awal diperkirakan telah ditulis ketika ia pertama kali melakukan perjalanan ke Jawa. Menggambarkan pengaruh dari budaya Melayu aslinya, Islam, Kekristenan, dan Sastra Timur, Amir menulis 50 puisi, 18 buah puisi prosa, dan berbagai karya lainnya, termasuk beberapa terjemahan. Pada tahun 1932 ia turut mendirikan majalah sastra Poedjangga Baroe. Setelah kembali ke Sumatera, ia berhenti menulis. Sebagian besar puisi-puisinya diterbitkan dalam dua koleksi, Njanji Soenji (EYD: "Nyanyi Sunyi", 1937) dan Boeah Rindoe (EYD: "Buah Rindu", 1941), awalnya dalam Poedjangga Baroe, kemudian sebagai buku yang diterbitkan. Puisi-puisi Amir sarat dengan tema cinta dan agama, dan puisinya sering mencerminkan konflik batin yang mendalam. Diksi pilihannya yang menggunakan kata-kata bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Jawa dan memperluas struktur tradisional, dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan untuk ritme dan metrum, serta simbolisme yang berhubungan dengan istilah-istilah tertentu.

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.
