In Memoriam Winarsih Partaningrat Arifin (1924–2024)
Two Chinese Rock Inscriptions in the Vicinity of Lasem (Central Java)
This short article deals with the recent rediscovery of two undated Chinese rock inscriptions in the vicinity of Lasem. After a study of their content, the author considers the question of their dating and their significance in the history of the mentalities of Chinese migrants to Java
Magdalene.co, Hi/her story. Perempuan Nusantara di Tepi Sejarah (Hi/her story. Indonesian Women on the edge of History), Ilustrasi oleh
It is an original attempt to make the Indonesians aware of the fact that their women continue to be excluded from official history. The volume is constituted by a collection of 100 one-page biographies of Nusantarian women illustrated by Karina Tungari. Her full-page colour portraits, more or less realistic depending on the documentation, give the book its charm. Magdalene.co is here represented by Devi Asmarani and Farah Rizki, who edit the bili…

Li Jun (1852-1925) came from a family of literati in Yongtai 永泰district, Fuzhou 福州 prefecture, Fujian. He studied Chinese medicine, and since 1877 practised on his own. He also passed the exam…
The Art of Translating among the Chinese of Java
Translation plays an essential role in the circulation of knowledge as well as in the social and political exchanges. Yet it remains little studied by historians. Here we propose to reflect on how the VOC administrators communicated their orders to the Batavian Chinese through the study of the interpretative translation of a 1696 decree aimed at prohibiting the opening of new sugar, arak, lime and brick production sites, as well as the creation o…

Chapitre I
Afin d’être mieux à même d’apprécier quel a pu être l’impact des traductions de romans chinois et plus particulièrement du Sam Kok sur les Chinois peranakan des Indes néerlandaises, notamment sur leurs conceptions politiques, mais aussi leurs manières de comprendre leur devenir historique, il nous faut d’abord essayer de voir comment les Chinois peranakan se percevaient par rapport au pays de leurs ancêtres, mais aussi par rapport à la société lo…
Of the Use of Calligraphy in Sino-Javanese Communities (18th-Early 21st
The Contribution of Archipel to the Knowledge of Insulindian Chinese (1971-2020) ̶ Some Key Topics
The creation of Archipel, which proposed to publish chronicles, studies, and especially documents and “dossiers thématiques” on the Insulindian world, was to become a platform for cultural and historical studies on various Chinese communities of the Indonesian archipelago, the Malay peninsula and Singapore, and to a lesser extent the Philippines, so to say on the fringes of the mainstream of Anglo-Saxon research that started in the late 1950s. Si…
Of the Use of Calligraphy in Sino-Javanese Communities (18th-Early 21st
Calligraphic art was conceived by the Chinese as a technique allowing the acquisition of certain virtues, and the mastery of this art as a proof of eminent qualities. This art dates back to the ancient times. Calligraphy has also been practiced by artists, either amateurs or professionals, who had practical and economic motivations, such as some Ming loyalists who having refused to serve the new dynasty were compelled to rely on this art for nego…

The Chinese Annals of Batavia, the Kai Ba Lidai shiji and other Stories (1610-1795)
La partie principale de ce volume (pp. 51-201) consiste en la traduction annotée du Kai Ba lidai shiji 开吧历代史记, chronique de la communauté chinoise de Batavia, rédigée vers 1794 par un auteur qui ne révèle pas son nom. Elle est précédée d’une partie introductive en six chapitres. Le premier donne un aperçu de la situation à Batavia aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles et insiste sur l’idée qu’il y aurait eu une sorte de convivencia, ou coexistence culturel…
Home is Not Here, Singapore
Le titre de cette autobiographie, « Notre domicile n’est pas ici », couvrant l’enfance et la scolarité d’un historien d’Asie bien connu, jusqu’à son entrée à l’Université de Malaisie en 1949, pourrait surprendre. En fait, ce titre résume les hésitations et les prises de conscience successives de l’auteur quant à son vrai domicile en rapport avec l’évolution de la conjoncture politique tant en Malaisie qu’en Chine. Dans la première partie, Wang Gu…

Taoke or Coolies? Chinese Visions of the Chinese Diaspora
This chapter presents Taoke, a selection of ten stories and the coolie question, in order to see how the authors reflect on their own communities. In the early 1950s and 1960s and more recently since the 1970s the coolie traffic has received some attention in China as well as in Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The rise of nationalism on both sides is exacerbated in the thirties when the Japanese start their policy of expansion. The chapter sh…
From Cemeteries to Luxurious Memorial Parks
The second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries were characterized by high-speed urban development that resulted in the encircling of the old Chinese cemeteries by new settlements. In many cities, especially in Manila, Jakarta and Surabaya, incoming migrants squatted on cemetery land. Some municipal authorities issued new regulations intended to close old Chinese burial sites and eventually to demolish them. It is in the conte…
Ancient Chinese Cemeteries of Indonesia as Vanishing Landmarks of the Past (17th-20th c.)
Despite the incessant expenditures over time, both individually and collectively, by the Chinese of Indonesia to conserve and secure their graves, they have never been really protected from destruction. As early as 1668, the community of Batavia lodged a complaint against a group of Ambonese who resided near the cemetery and who had desecrated some four hundred graves. During the following century, another danger came in addition to the risk of l…
Biographical Dictionary of Mercantile Personalities of Penang
This dictionary, which focuses on the mercantile male personalities who pioneered the growth of George Town from the end of 18th century up to the mid-20th century, is the first of its kind. However the interest for local figures started much earlier when, in 1986, a book entitled Historical Personalities of Penang was published by The Historical Personalities of Penang Committee under the Auspices of Penang Festival’86, and an exhibition based o…
Ardian Purwoseputro, Wayang Potehi of Java 布袋戏
Wayang Potehi, is a popular form of puppet theatre which comes from Southern Fujian province. The term potehi (in Mandarin : budai xi) literally means “glove puppet theatre”. No information is available about its historical development in Fujian. Xie Zhaozhi 谢肇淛 (1567-1624) in his Wu zazu 五杂俎 (“Five assorted offerings”, first ed. 1616, ed. Minguo 24, I. p. 213) alludes to the taste of Southern Chinese for “puppetry” (here called kuilei 傀儡, presum…

Since then more works especially in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Western languages have appeared which are mainly concerned with cultural exchanges between China and the countries of East Asia.

The Hạ châu or Southern Countries as Observed by Vietnamese Emissaries (1830-1844)
Although commercial relations between Vietnam and Insulinde go back to the remote past, the Vietnamese have shown very little curiosity about their Southern neighbours ; this explains why travel accounts are so scarce. Here we intend to reflect on the reports and travel impressions written by demoted civil servants who were sent to the Hạ châu or “ Southern Countries” to redeem their faults when the Nguyễn court became interested in obtaining rep…
The Massacre of 1740 as Reflected in a Contemporary Chinese Narrative
Cette courte note présente brièvement la vision du massacre de 1740 telle qu’elle apparaît à travers quelques rapports de l’administration chinoise, mais surtout à travers la relation De Cheng Xunwo dans son Ge-la-ba jilüe ou «Bref récit sur Kelapa » seulement publié après la mort de son auteur. Cheng Xunwo, qui avait séjourné à Batavia quelques années avant le massacre, expose avec beaucoup de lucidité la détérioration économique de la fin des a…

Nous avons retenu trois types de sources : les récits de voyage et sommes sur les contrées d’Asie du Sud-Est, les relations de missions diplomatiques, et les écrits émanant de Chinois établis en Insulinde.

It is worth pausing for a moment to consider the relationships that were able to exist between the expansion of Islam in the East Indies and the simultaneous formation of communities. These two phenomena are usually presented in opposition to one another and it is pointless here to insist on the numerous conflicting accounts, past and present.1 Nevertheless, properly considered, it quickly becomes apparent that this is a question of two parallel …

Le goût chinois pour les nids de salanganes et ses répercussions économiques en Indonésie (XVe/XVIe-XXIe s.)
This article attempts to trace the historical development of the Chinese taste for bird’s nests and its impact on the Indonesian economy. The term yanwo or "swiftlet’s nest" appears apparently for the first time in a dietary compendium, the Yinshi xu zhi (Essential Knowledge for Eating and Drinking ; 1368), which stresses prevention rather than treatment. It seems that the nests were first collected in South China and eaten locally by commoners b…

The Contribution of the Chinese to the Development of Southeast Asia
A great deal has been written during the last three decades on the Chinese in Southeast Asia in Chinese and Japanese generally and in English particularly. The outstanding feature of the Western approach to studying this ethnic community has been that research methods of sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists have largely replaced those of historians

La mission de Théodose de Lagrené et les enquêtes sur les textiles d’Insulinde (1844-1846)
Through the Treaty of Nanking (1842), Britain obtained permission to trade at five "treaty ports" in China. The following year, the USA and France decided to negotiate directly with the Manchus. The French government appointed Théodose de Lagrené as plenipotentiary minister to sign the Treaty of Whampoa (1844). The mission was accompanied by a commercial delegation, the task of which was to investigate the commerce and the various textile industr…
