Children's Understanding of the Moral Values of Historical Fiction Story Books
The low moral literacy of elementary school children in Indonesia poses a serious challenge to the development of national character. Many students are more familiar with instant digital media than educational reading, thus the values of empathy, courage, and social responsibility are increasingly marginalized. This study aims to describe elementary school students in Malang City's understanding of the moral values contained in the historical fic…
From the margin to the centre
The 1976 film adaptation of Max Havelaar sparked controversy for its portrayal of Indigenous characters as passive and inferior and for disregarding the input of an Indonesian filmmaker initially involved in the project. In 2021, an Indonesian director reinterpreted this narrative through his film Saidjah dan Adinda, centering on the indigenous characters as active agents of resistance and offering a counter-narrative to the colonialist perspecti…
The local dynamics of global ecotourism trend in the old Balinese village, Indonesia
Ecotourism long has been regarded as a model of tourism development that fosters businesses, empowers local communities, and benefits for nature conservation. While many studies emphasize its environmentally friendly attributes, few have explored its relationship with capitalism and indigenous people. This article examines the local-global dynamics of an indigenous community in Bali, Indonesia, focusing an old-Balinese village, Tenganan Pegringsi…
The politics of (in)visibility
This study utilises a visual methodology and Foucauldian discourse analysis, framed by postcolonial theory, to investigate how Indonesian museums construct the narratives of national identity, with particular attention to the underrepresentation of the Chinese ethnic minority. By curating a diverse corpus of museums across Java and Bali, the research reveals the nuanced ways in which museums legitimise the idea of “Indonesianness”, an identity co…
Rhetoric in the Islamic-Javanese Communication Pesantren Tradition
This study is rooted in the uniqueness of the pesantren tradition that combines local religious and cultural values in communication practices, which often differ from the concept of Western rhetoric oriented towards ethos, pathos, and logos. In the Ngalah Islamic Boarding School, rhetoric not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a means to build and strengthen spiritual and emotional relationships between the kiai and the stud…
When images hurt hyper-reality and symbolic violence in Indonesian men’s lifestyle magazines
In Western culture, the practice of looking has traditionally been perceived as an act of dominance. Enacted by the male gaze, looking implies an active position, whilst to be looked at implies a passive position. However, in the case of Indonesian men’s lifestyle magazines, these practices of looking fuel the internalisation of inferiority on the part of Indonesian subjects. Emerging from its colonial past, contemporary Indonesia continues to be…

Decolonising Museum Practice in a Postcolonial Nation
The study of colonialism and its legacies have mostly left the category of memory studies. However, for the colonised subject, what they experienced in the past inevitably forms their present and future discourse. This study focuses on how the museum’s visual order articulates colonial memory. By looking at the work of representation, in this context museum’s visual order, this study investigates how memory lives on through the circulation of col…
The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy
Prior to Dutch colonization, there was a clear distinction between men and women in Indonesia. However, the hierarchical structure between these gender categories is part and parcel of the colonial legacy. Masculinity was first introduced in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period as a repudiation from femininity. This signaled a significant shift, as previously being modest and part of the community had been valued much more highly in Indones…
Towards the westernized body
This paper will spotlight changing views with regard to Indonesian men's body aesthetics. It will explore how, in response to discourse contained in lifestyle magazines, the physical bodies of Indonesian men have become the primary mechanism through which to exercise agency. However, many local Indonesian customs consider men's agency to be dependent upon their ability to control bodily desire. The paper aims to give an overview of how modernizat…
