The Fragile Bloom of the Kimilsungia: Indonesian political exiles in North Korea
This article examines the first two Indonesians to live in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) after the Korean War (1950–53), using their experiences (including as political exiles after 1965) to explore Indonesia’s bilateral relations with this most secretive of states. Their lives reveal much of the untold story of Indonesia’s unfolding relationship with the Kims’ dynastic state from Sukarno’s initial attraction unt…
Indonesian political exiles in the Netherlands after 1965; Postcolonial nationalists in an era of transnationalism
This article presents brief life stories of select Indonesians who were forced into exile by the Suharto regime after the 1965 National Tragedy in Indonesia. It focuses on staunch nationalist exiles who were rendered stateless by the self-proclaimed “New Order“ for refusing to accept the overthrow of President Sukarno and declare loyalty to the military regime. Faced with a life in exile, they sought refuge in the former colonial nation of the Ne…
Cold War Polarization, Delegated Party Authority, and Diminishing Exilic Options: The Dilemma of Indonesian Political Exiles in China after 1965
Several thousand Indonesians were in China on 1 October 1965, when six senior military officers were killed in Jakarta by the Thirtieth of September Movement (G30S) in a putsch blamed upon the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). The event changed the lives of Indonesians-in China and in their homeland-irrevocably. This article examines the impact of bilateral state relations upon the fate of those Indonesian political exiles in China and assesses t…
Journalism and Politics in Indonesia: A critical biography of Mochtar Lubis (1922-2004) as editor and author
Mochtar Lubis was one of Indonesia’s best-known newspaper editors, authors and cultural figures, with a national, regional and international prominence that he retained from the early 1950s until his recent death in 2004. This book traces the major events in the life of Mochtar Lubis, which is also a prism through which much of Indonesia’s post-independence history can be interpreted. This book is also the story of Indonesia in the second half of…

Biography within the Indonesian Context: An Introduction to Four Papers
Most writing about biography, at least in English, has related to Europe, North America, and the broader Anglophone world and its diaspora. Attention to even the major states of Asia*/China, India, Japan*/has been relatively rare. To a large degree this has been due to the linguistic constraints of Anglophone scholars of biography. It has been common for European scholars to have the language skills to work on European lives, but less likely that…
Ethics and Institutions in Biographical Writing on Indonesian Subjects
It has been argued that the social sciences in general are currently undergoing an ‘auto/biographical turn’. Internationally, the field remains largely Eurocentric and discussion of the particular problems presented by life writing in contexts such as Indonesia—in Asia more broadly—remains relatively rare. Nonetheless, within Indonesian studies, academic interest is increasing in the critical production, use, and interpretation of such materials,…
Manoeuvres in Manado: Media and Politics in Regional Indonesia
One of the most visible changes to Indonesian public culture since the fall of President Suharto and his New Order in May 1998 has been the florescence of the nation's media. This article is an initial attempt to examine these changes at the local level in the perimeter province of North Sulawesi, about 2,000 kilometres from the political epicentre of Jakarta. Prior to 1998, with only rare exceptions, studies of the Indonesian media - by both Ind…
The Internet in Indonesia's New Democracy
The Internet in Indonesia’s New Democracy is a detailed study of legal, economic, political and cultural practices surrounding the provision and consumption of the Internet in Indonesia at the turn of the twenty-first century. Hill and Sen detail the emergence of the Internet into Indonesia in the mid-1990s, and cover its growth through the dramatic economic and political crises of 1997 and the subsequent transition to democracy. Conceptually the…
Plotting Public Participation on Indonesia’s Internet
Focusing on public access rather than business or commercial applications, this article seeks to answer some fundamental questions about Internet use in Indonesia: How many people use the Net? Where and how do they gain access? Who facilitates this: government or private industry? What strategies are expanding public access? In answering such questions, the article examines Internet use as a social practice in Indonesia. It begins by plotting Int…
Communication for a new democracy: Indonesia's first online elections
This paper examines Internet practices in Indonesian political life in the period since the fall of Soeharto. In particular, it looks at the ways in which the Internet was used by political parties for campaigning and organizing, and the state, the media and the public to scrutinize Indonesia's first democratic elections since 1955. The 7 June 1999 general elections in Indonesia were not conducted online; voters did not register their ballot dire…
Netizens in combat: Conflict on the internet in Indonesia
In exploring some of the ways in which the Internet is being used in Indonesia, we take our cue from Manuel Castells' seminal two-volume study, The Information Age, in which he argues that "the social dimension of the Information Technology Revolution seems bound to follow the law of the relationship between technology and society proposed . . . by Marvin Kranzberg: [that] technology is neither good nor bad, nor is it neutral" (Castells 1996, 65)…

East Timor and the Internet:Global political leverage in/on Indonesia
Media, culture and politics in Indonesia
Introduces students to some of the most salient and fastest changing aspects of Indonesian culture. The book outlines a new analytical approach to contemporary Indonesian culture, analysing particular aspects such as language, the press, the performing arts, youth culture, audio-visual media, and regional cultural autonomy
The Internet in Indonesia's new democracy
The most abiding image of the Indonesian struggle for independence from the Dutch is that of the steely-eyed young (usually male) revolutionary (pemuda), his long black hair tied back in the red-and-white colours of the Indonesian flag, clutching a sharpened bamboo spear. The image of the pemuda still adorns public memorials across the archipelago, representing the romantic revolutionary youth. In May 1998 the pemuda were again out in force on th…
Wiring the Warung to Global Gateways: The Internet in Indonesia
The global enthusiasm about the Internet has infused the reception of this new communication technology in Indonesia. In much of this discourse—both in Indonesia and elsewhere—there is a tendency to invest the technology with a certain sociopolitical determinacy, that is, a belief that the technology will affect all societies in a particular way, regardless of its specificities. In our very preliminary survey here of the Internet in Indonesia, we…
Leadership, social order, and democracy: The novels of a ‘secular modernizing intellectual’
In an influential 1973 essay American political scientist R. William Liddle assessed the achievements of a 'group of power seekers, active in Indonesian politics since 1965, who have attempted to articulate and to act upon an ideology (although they would not call it that) of modernization' (Liddle, 1973:178). He dubbed his subjects 'secular modernizing intellectuals'. Their characteristics included a commitment to imposing their particular conce…
Taking stock: In‐country Indonesian studies and the case for an Australian consortium
In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number and variety of courses in Indonesian language and area studies offered in Indonesia, under collaborative arrangements with Australian universities. The first part of this paper attempts to take stock of such developments, by outlining the range of current 'in-country' Indonesian studies courses, and commenting briefly on some of their relative strengths and limitations. In so-doing it…

The H.B. Jassin literary documentation centre
Few students of Indonesian literature do not known the name of H.B. Jassin. Ironically, while Jassin is one of Indonesia’s most influential and best known literary critics and its leading literary archivist, information about his extensive documentation collection is not readily available to students in Australia. This brief account introduces students and researchers in Indonesian literary and cultural studies to Jassin’s institutional legacy, o…
