Joining bits and pieces: A Chinese Indonesian mother–daughter collaborative witnessing as a resource for writing an autobiographical novel
In this article, I as researcher and my mother as collaborator present small stories about our own and my late grandmother’s lived experiences during the New Order and Reformasi eras in Indonesia. Both perform a collaborative witnessing, which is a form of “relational autoethnography” that enables researchers to focus on and evocatively tell the lives of others through conversation and shared storytelling as a source that informs my life writing …
‘We cannot heal what we will not face’: Dismantling the cultural trauma and the May ’98 riots in Rani P Collaborations’ Chinese Whispers
In May 1998, ethnic riots and widespread sexual violence occurred in several major Indonesian cities. Chinese-Indonesians were targeted and, since then, there has been an interest in feminist visual art created by Chinese-Indonesian diaspora in Australia. This article explores Chinese Whispers, a digital graphic novel by Rani Pramesti, a Chinese-Javanese-Indonesian actor and Melbourne-based performance maker, and her team of Indonesian-Australian…
Communicating Fragmented Memories: Explorations of Trauma as Autoethnographic Bridges
Through an experience of reading, researching and interacting with people with different cultural backgrounds in academia, I explore autoethnographically how my personal experience can offer a way to contemplate connections and disassociations of cultural memory in relation to the May 1998 Riots of Indonesia. I attempt to show how disruptive events can bring the traumatic memories back into current consciousness both within individual lives and i…
Applying Burn’s Kineikonic Mode to a Dangdut Music Performance: Via Vallen’s Sayang at the 2018 Indonesian Choice Awards 5.0 NET
Andrew Burn's Kineikonic Mode theory of categorising visual image texts by sorting them into contributory and orchestrating modes is well enacted as an analytical form. At a micro level, Burn's modes are used to examine elements such as set design, lighting, costume, colour, action, facial expression, filming, editing, and so on. In the following, the examined object is the video of Via Vallen's Sayang (a dangdut performance) at the Indonesian Ch…
Youth Matters: Shedding Light on Displacement in Syrian Girls’ Memoirs
In the face of war and political crisis, fleeing a country seems to be the best choice to get on with life. Among many refugee memoirs, so far young adult refugee texts have received little attention. This article analyses two young Syrian girls’ memoirs by Nujeen Mustafa and Yusra Mardini to investigate their experience of displacement. I argue that both Nujeen and Butterfly are prime specimens of young displacement memoir phenomena which act as…
Confessing Love to the Nation: Audrey Yu Jia Hui’s Works and Identity Reconstruction
This article addressed identity reconstruction through an analysis of two of the most prominent fictional works by one of the Chinese Indonesian young writers, Audrey Yu Jia Hui. In encompassing the idea of identity rewriting, I addressed Hui’s second and third novels respectively, Mellow Yellow Drama (2014) and Mencari Sila Kelima (Searching for the Fifth Principle, 2015), through the post-structural concepts of Derrida’s deconstruction, and als…
