Game of Thrones
The dhampar kencana (golden throne) is an ornately carved throne stool, also known as a singgasana in Javanese, used at the enthronement of every Javanese ruler. It is considered a sacred and mystical object in the Javanese courts. But, in the troubled transition from the Dutch East India Company (VOC, 1602–1799) to the high colonial period of the Netherlands East Indies (1816–1942), the throne stool became a highly contested object, demarcating …
Seats of Power
During Soeharto’s New Order, the choice of chairs for the Garuda Room of the Gedung Agung Presidential Palace in Yogyakarta, became a tool for legitimizing state power. During the 1970s, the décor of the Gedung Agung was completely redesigned by the then Head of the Presidential Household, Joop Ave (1934–2014; in office 1972–1978), a process heavily influenced by Soeharto’s wife, Ibu Tien Soeharto (Siti Hartinah, 1923–1996), a minor noblewoman (R…
To Remain Myself
The Scots in Java, 1811-1816. An Episode from the History of the 78th Regiment of Foot (Ross-shire Buffs)
During the short-lived British interregnum regime in Java (1811-1816), a battalion (1,000 soldiers) of the 78th Highland (Scottish) Regiment of Foot (Ross-shire Buffs) took part in the British invasion force. They participated in nearly all the major military engagements of this period, including the 20 June 1812 storming of the Yogyakarta kraton. The events of that bloody operation and the contribution of the 78th Highland Regiment to its succes…

In Memoriam
“Fortune cannot take away what you give friends; That wealth stays forever” (Martial [Marcus Valerius Martialis, born 40 AD] “Epigrams”)Adjie Damais, Koi Restaurant, Bar and Gallery, Kemang, Jakarta, 9 November 2019. Foto Pak Nunus SupardiI first met Mas Adjie during my initial research visit to Indonesia in 1971-1973. However, since I was mainly resident in Yogyakarta, I suspect these meetings were fleeting. Truth to tell, I only have a very dim…
Clio’s Stepchildren
Between 1979 and 2018 Oxford University was presented with numerous opportunities to develop Southeast Asian Studies, nearly all of which were not taken up. This autobiographical article describes how these opportunities arose and how the author tried to generate support for Southeast Asian Studies during the period when he was Laithwaite Fellow in Modern History at Trinity College, Oxford (1979-2008) and following his early retirement in October…
Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman (circa 1811-1880) and the Java War (1825-30)
The childhood years of the famous Arab-Javanese painter, Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman (ca. 1811-80), in Semarang from his birth in ca. May 1811 up to the Java War (1825-30) are crucial for understanding his subsequent attitudes towards the Dutch and their colonial rule in Java as expressed through his art. Growing up in the household of his uncle, the enlightened Semarang regent (bupati), Suroadimenggolo V (1765/8-1826; in office 1809-22), and his…
Oil discoveries, civil war, and preventive state repression
Anticipated shifts in power favoring one side can lead to preventive war today. When power is poised to shift towards the state, potential rebels may launch a civil war while they retain a relative advantage, consistent with the commitment problem. We argue that a government expecting a group to rebel has an incentive to prevent that challenge by repressing the population. Repression is a government attempt to undermine and prevent dissent that w…
Outsider Insiders
The present article considers the importance of sources written by witnesses who interacted with Indonesia's national hero, Prince Diponegoro (1785-1855), in the aftermath of his arrest at the end of the Java War (1825-1830). It focuses on the reports written by the three officers, two Dutch and one Prussian, who accompanied the prince on his 11-week journey into exile (28 March-12 June 1830). During this period, Diponegoro's every conversation a…
Racial Difference and the Colonial Wars of 19th Century Southeast Asia
British Naval Power and its Influence on Indonesia, 1795–1942
In Indonesian history, Britain has never been considered a prominent player in the politics of the archipelago. From an Indonesian perspective, the British presence only lasted a brief five years (1811–1816) during short-lived interregnum regime led by Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826). This began with the British seizure of Java from the Franco-Dutch administration of Marshal Daendels (1808-11) and his successor, General Janssens (May-Septembe…
Mona Lohanda (1947-2021) Remembered
Mona Lohanda (1947-2021), whom I always knew as ‘Nona Mona,’ was that truly rare phenomenon in the world of Indonesian archivists and historians, a person of integrity. Throughout her forty-year career as an archivist at the Indonesian National Archives (ANRI), she became the gatekeeper to the VOC (Dutch East India Company) records held in Jakarta (pre-1942, Batavia). Her role as Assistant Conservator (Deputi Pembinaan Kearsipan) at ANRI between …
On His Netherlands Majesty’s Service
Alfred de Vigny’s Servitude et Grandeur Militaires (1835) could be the leitmotif for this article which describes the highs and lows of the fourteen-year history of the corvette-of-war Pollux (1824-38) as it experienced the vicissitudes of the Dutch colonial wars in the Indies/Indonesia. Launched in Rotterdam in March 1824, the corvette immediately achieved fame with its round-the-world voyage via South America, Cape Horn, and the Marquesas in th…

Cascade Points in the Northern Great Basin
Although common in the northern Great Basin, foliate points sometimes referred to as Cascade points are generally regarded as poor temporal markers because they are found in early, middle, and even late Holocene contexts. It is unclear whether this broad timespan is a function of prolonged use of the point form, later groups recycling discarded artifacts, or a combination of both. We review the spatial and temporal distribution of foliate points …
Mapping Majapahit
The sage who divided Java in 1052
Architect Henri Maclaine Pont's personal papers indicate that he almost certainly excavated the medieval hermitage-cemetery of the eleventh-century sage, Empu Bharada, in 1925. Careful field study in the former royal capital of Majapahit, analysis of the relevant Old Javanese texts and interviews with local residents have enabled an accurate identification of Maclaine-Pont's exacavation site at the former children's cemetery of Lemah Tulis where …
Revolutionary Europe and the Destruction of Java’s Old Order, 1808–1830
The Power of Prophecy
National hero, Javanese mystic, pious Muslim and leader of the ‘holy war’ against the Dutch between 1825 and 1830, the Yogyakarta prince, Dipanagara (1785-1855, otherwise known as Diponegoro), is pre-eminent in the pantheon of modern Indonesian historical figures. Yet despite instant name recognition in Indonesia, there has never been a full biography of the prince’s life and times based on Dutch and Javanese sources. ‘The power of prophecy’ is a…
Stutterheim's enigma
For over a century archaeologists have been trying to unravel the mystery of the location of the fourteenth-century kraton (palace) of the rulers of the Majapahit kingdom which held power in Java from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century. It has been long known that the royal city and its palace was located at Trowulan about 50 kilometres southwest of Surabaya, the present-day capital of East Java. Today, unfortunately, all that remains of its…
Community development through participatory arts
The role of arts in encouraging participation and community development is increasingly recognized. This paper centres on a large-scale community arts programme in the Speke/Garston area of Liverpool, UK. This sought to increase community involvement though a variety of participatory arts initiatives within a single, unifying project known as ‘Closer’. Evaluation indicated that the project had met its aims of increasing participation (Carey and S…

Waiting for the 'Just King
Students of Javanese society have long recognized that the Java War (1825-30), the bitter five-year struggle against European colonial rule in Java, constituted a watershed in the history of modern Indonesia. In his recent textbook, Professor Ricklefs has characterized the year 1830 as 'the beginning of the truly colonial period in Java', arguing that the Java War marked the transition point between the 'trading' era of the Dutch East India Compa…
Changing Javanese Perceptions of the Chinese Communities in Central Java, 1755-1825
IntroductionOn September 23, 1825, during the opening months of the Java War (1825-30), a small cavalry squadron commanded by Radfen A yu Yudakusuma, a daughter of the first Sultan of Yogyakarta, swooped down on the vital trading post of Ngawi on the Sala rive r.It was home to a sizeable Chinese population, consisting mainly of rice brokers, petty traders, and coolies, which had been temporarily swollen by the in flux of refugees from the surroun…

The Sepoy conspiracy of 1815 in Java
Towards the end of the period of British rule in Java (1811-1816), during the last months of 1815, a far-reaching conspiracy was discovered amongst the Sepoy (British-Indian) garrisons at the Central Javanese courts. In this conspiracy, members of the Surakarta court were them selves directly involved, and the success of the plot miglit have put the entire European administration of Java in jeopardy. The incident thus provides a fascinating insig…

Civilization on Loan
This paper focuses on the south-central Javanese state of Mataram and its late seventeenth- and mid-eighteenth-century successors-Kartasura (1680-1746), and Surakarta (founded 1746) and Yogyakarta (founded 1749). It concentrates principally on the administrative, military and cultural trends of the period, looking at the ways in which Mataram and its heirs imported their cultural styles from the defeated east Javanese andpasisir(north-east coast)…
