The Word That Dare Not Speak Its Name, Pamela Caughie Oct 2023

The Word That Dare Not Speak Its Name, Pamela Caughie

English: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This essay asks, when does our effort to avoid offending students interfere with our ability to teach them? Rehearsing conflicts over language and terminology, over who can speak and what can be said, from my four-decade career as a literature professor, critical theorist, and gender scholar, I confront contemporary efforts to censor certain words, to prohibit certain kinds of inquiry, and to limit who can speak about certain subjects by placing recent incidents in relation to previous debates in academia and the public sphere. The university classroom and scholarly peer-reviewed journals have long served as spaces where established viewpoints can …

A Personal And Poetic Inquiry Into Dutch Coloniality, Joel E. Berends Oct 2023

A Personal And Poetic Inquiry Into Dutch Coloniality, Joel E. Berends

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The following personal and poetic inquiry examines Indonesian objects, art, and cultural expressions through the lensing of coloniality (A. Benítez Rojo 1992; A. Quijano and M. Ennis 2000; W.D. Mignolo 2011). The inquiry interacts with the objects, art, and cultural expressions through the creation of ekphrastic poetry – poems which describe works of art. Specifically, this inquiry examines my experiences with Dutch coloniality as a white cisgendered man with a Dutch heritage/inheritance who was born and raised in a predominantly Dutch immigrant community in West Michigan in the United States. Building from the work of Gloria Wekker and given my …

Borobudur Temple And The Megalith Villages Of The Ngadha And Manggarai In The Light Of Indonesia’S Tourist Promotion; A Legacy Of Colonial Representation, Tular Sudarmadi

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

As a foreign exchange earner for the Indonesian government, the tourism industry has currently prioritized ten tourist destinations. Problematically, this promotion of the beauty and diversity of nature and ethnicty marginalizes and exoticizes a number of ethnic group and their areas. This promotion, which can be traced back to colonial times, still reflects the Dutch colonial legacy, particularly Darwinian social evolution. To clarify this situation, this article illustrates tourism promotion in the historical and socio-cultural contexts of Borobodur in Java and the megalith villages of the Ngadha and Manggarai people of Flores. It investigates the representation and articulation of colonial …

"Gawe Kuta Baluwarti Bata Kalawan Kawis"; Contribution Of Local Knowledge To The Expansion Of The Banten Sultanate On The Nusantara Spice Route, Rismawidiawati Rismawidiawati, Wuri Handoko, Roni Tabroni, Abd. Rahman Hamid, Muh. Subair

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

So far, the trade and spice route historiography has focused on social, political, and economic aspects. This discussion is also fragmentarily or is part of another focus. No studies have discussed the relationship between local knowledge practices, spice routes, power networks, and Islamization. However, the spice trade and Islamization are two intersecting events important for their connection with the local culture. This article assumes that there was a local knowledge used as a strategy by the Banten rulers as a response to trade, Islamization, and power networks in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It finds that Sultan Maulana Yusuf’s policy, …

Islands, Maps, And Lontara’; Bugis Counter-Mapping On A Nineteenth-Century Map Of Nusantara, Aditya Bayu Perdana, Muhammad Buana

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article focuses on a Bugis nautical chart of Nusantara (the Malay Archipelago) from the early nineteenth century known as the Utrecht Map. There are only a few surviving copies of similar Bugis maps, all confiscated from local “pirates” during the colonial era. While graphical elements of the map undoubtedly point to prototypical European maps, careful analysis of its annotations reveals extensive linguistic modification better to reflect Bugis maritime knowledge. Not only are they completely written in Lontara’, the indigenous script of the Bugis, Euro-centric toponyms from contemporaneous maps are consistently replaced by locally derived toponyms from an oral and …

Peran Gerakan Sosial Dalam Pengesahan Mariage Pour Tous Di Prancis, Melpa Tresia, Airin Miranda Oct 2023

Peran Gerakan Sosial Dalam Pengesahan Mariage Pour Tous Di Prancis, Melpa Tresia, Airin Miranda

Multikultura

Mariage Pour Tous (MPT) merupakan undang-undang pernikahan yang memperbolehkan semua orang tanpa memandang gender untuk menikah dan berkeluarga. Pada masa kampanye kepresidenan François Hollande, rencana untuk melegalkan pernikahan sesama jenis adalah salah satu janji yang memicu gerakan sosial baru untuk melakukan aksi kolektif. Gerakan sosial pendukung pernikahan sesama jenis merupakan contoh dari gerakan sosial baru. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari motif dan isu yang disuarakan berkaitan dengan hak-hak sipil di dalam lingkup sosial. Usaha yang dilakukan oleh gerakan sosial untuk menuntut persamaan hak sipil sudah dilakukan sejak Pacte Civil de Solidarité (PACS) dikeluarkan pada tahun 1999, tetapi janji kampanye Hollande …

Multikultura

Hashima (Gunkanjima) berhasil tercatat sebagai situs warisan dunia UNESCO pada tahun 2015. Pencatatan pulau ini sempat mendapat penolakan keras dari Korea Selatan karena Jepang tidak mencantumkan sejarah lengkap yang menyangkut kerja paksa warga Korea Selatan dan Tiongkok. Berdasarkan data pemerintah Nagasaki, Hashima mengalami lonjakan pengunjung lebih dari seratus ribu wisatawan setelah namanya tercatat dalam situs warisan dunia UNESCO. Sebelumnya, Hashima hanya dikenal akan dark tourism-nya sebagai pulau hantu, tetapi kini semakin dilirik wisatawan dengan imej yang berbeda setelah pencatatan UNESCO dan pembangunan lokasi wisata penunjang seperti Gunkanjima Digital Museum.

Kewarganegaraan Inklusif: Menempatkan Model Budaya Disabilitas Dalam Teori Multikultural Liberal Will Kymlicka, Hanandhia Lindsy Rustam, Lg. Saraswati Putri

Multikultura

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan cultural model of disability atau model budaya disabilitas dalam teori multikultural liberal Will Kymlicka. Status kewarganegaraan disabilitas seringkali masih diturunkan menjadi kewarganegaraan pasif atau parsial yang patut dikasihani dan mendapat perhatian paternalistik. Kemunculan advokasi disabilitas sebagai hak kelompok dan bukan hak individu baru-baru ini menuntut kita untuk mengevaluasi secara lebih menyeluruh konsepsi disabilitas sebagai sebuah kelompok non-etnis namun bersifat budaya yang menegosiasikan tempat mereka di wilayah negara. Model budaya disabilitas inilah yang sejalan dengan tujuan teori multikultural liberal Will Kymlicka yang menyatakan bahwa masyarakat yang beragam membutuhkan lebih dari sekedar akses yang setara dan hak-hak …


How To Rewrite A Tagalog Novel Into An English Classic: Danton Remoto’S English Translation Of Lope K. Santos’S Banaag At Sikat, Chris Cañete Rodriguez Kelly Oct 2023

How To Rewrite A Tagalog Novel Into An English Classic: Danton Remoto’S English Translation Of Lope K. Santos’S Banaag At Sikat, Chris Cañete Rodriguez Kelly

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

To appeal to a contemporary global readership, Danton Remoto in his English translation of Lope K. Santos’s Banaag at Sikat omits much of the original’s political passages. Such an approach to translation, however, hollows out elements of the original. Following the work of Annette Damayanti Lienau and Akshya Saxena, this essay understands colonial and vernacular languages as dialectically interdependent. It argues that Remoto’s abridgement of Banaag at Sikat is produced not by a refusal to translate the Tagalog of the original, but a refusal to translate the coconstitutive difference between English and Tagalog, which inheres precisely in the excessive political …

Reading Rent: Interracial Relationships And Racial Hierarchies, Susanna A. Perez-Field Oct 2023

Reading Rent: Interracial Relationships And Racial Hierarchies, Susanna A. Perez-Field

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In examining the musical Rent by Jonathan Larson (1995) and its film adaptation by Chris Columbus (2005), most scholarly work and analyses have focused on the work’s identity as a queer text. I assert that elements of this musical have been overlooked for its depth of racial and class hierarchies. Utilizing sociological theory and interracial relationships, I will examine characters and musical numbers to explore diversity and class positioning.

I will explore Rent for themes of racial, gender, and sexual identities and how they are presented through the friendships and romantic relationships of the eight principal characters (alphabetically): Angel, Benny, …

Looking Back From The Periphery; Situating Indonesian Provincial Museums As Cultural Archives In The Late-Colonial To Post-Colonial Era, Adrian Perkasa, Ajeng Ayu Arainikasih Oct 2023

Looking Back From The Periphery; Situating Indonesian Provincial Museums As Cultural Archives In The Late-Colonial To Post-Colonial Era, Adrian Perkasa, Ajeng Ayu Arainikasih

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Discussions on post-coloniality are often situated either in the centre of the colonizer or colonial metropole or the centre of the former colonized. The local perspective, especially in Indonesia, seems overlooked in existing literature, whereas it could be regarded as the cultural archive of the colonial era to post-independence Indonesia. Edward Said (1994) has said that cultural archives are a storehouse of a particular knowledge and structures of attitude and a reference to and structure of feelings. Gloria Wekker (2016) elaborates on the cultural archive; it has influenced historical cultural configurations as well as current dominant, cherished self-representations and culture. …

Marginalizing Colonial Violence At The Beginning Of The 21st Century The Representation Of Colonial Military Expedition To Banten Of 1808 In The National Museum Of Indonesia, Adieyatna Fajri

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The article discusses the narrative of colonial violence attached to the objects displayed in the National Museum of Indonesia in Jakarta. Taking the colonial military expedition to Banten in 1808 as a case study, this paper analyses the exhibition to show the interplay between museum as a product of colonialism and its focus on regionalism, its role in post-colonial nation-state-formation promoting national identity building, and the complexities of addressing violence. It argues that, as the museum engages with the discourse of coloniality and concurrently emphasizes national identity building, it inadvertently marginalizes the narrative of colonial violence. The findings show that, …


Shifting The Historical Narrative Of The Banda Islands; From Colonial Violence To Local Resilience, Joëlla Van Donkersgoed Oct 2023

Shifting The Historical Narrative Of The Banda Islands; From Colonial Violence To Local Resilience, Joëlla Van Donkersgoed

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

History is a representation of the past based on (written) knowledge which has been passed on from one generation to the next, with a preference given to written sources from a Eurocentric tradition. However, written sources about (former) colonial territories are a product of the colonial system in which they were produced. Acknowledging the biases in these archives, therefore, opens the way for acceptance of other forms of knowledge which were previously deemed “not objective” in Eurocentric historical disciplines. This paper presents several examples from the Banda Islands in Maluku province in Indonesia to attest that, by placing contemporary perceptions …
