Learning outcomes

This one-semester course will focus on the modern history of Indonesia - the history of the 20th century since the beginning of the liberation movement to the present - and its reflection in Indonesian literature. Students will become familiar with the main events and leading personalities of Indonesian history and culture. Each historical period - Indonesian political awakening (1910-1927), Indonesia Youth Oath and Sukarno´s Indonesia Menggugat! (1928-1934), the Japanese occupation and the Declaration of Independence on the 17th August 1945, The Indonesian revolution and wars of independence (1945-1949), Sukarno's journey from freedom to guided democracy (1950-1965), Suharto´s New Order (1966-1998), 1998-today - will each have a 90 minute lecture devoted to them. Each theoretical lecture will be followed by a seminar focusing on reading and analysing of selected texts. Among the writers discussed will be Chairil Anwar, Sitor Situmorang, Rendra, Goenawan Mohamad, Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Adek Alwi, Motinggo Busye, Lia Cyntia, Wisran Hadi, Idrus, Kuntowijoyo, Mochtar Lubis, Saut Situmorang, Harris Effendi Thahar, Putu Wijaya, etc. Writers and literary works will be categorized according to the historical and social context, one that is very different from the European view. Students will learn about the main literary groups, journals, movements and their key thoughts. At the end of the course students will be able to analyse the works of Indonesian literature within a broader historical and social framework, to place them within the appropriate spatial, temporal and social context.
Students will learn about the history of 20th century Indonesia, about the major personalities and political, religious or civic movements that characterized particular periods in history. Through reading of modern Indonesian literature (an anthology of modern Indonesian literature, Tygr, tygr!, etc.), an obligatory part of the course, students will become familiar with representatives of contemporary Indonesian literature, its major trends and issues it discusses. By the end of the course they will be able to analyse works of Indonesian literature within a broader historical and social framework, to place them within the appropriate spatial, temporal and social context.
