The history and progress of Indonesian literature become a piece of authentic evidence for ethnic Chinese. Both of them can exert influence on contemporary Indonesian literature at large. It can be seen in the history of Indonesian literacy, romance, martial arts stories (Cerita silat), and Chinese literary writing styles which are still used nowadays. This shows how ethnic Chinese education and Hybrid (Malay-Chinese) in Indonesia have developed rapidly. Before this country was formed into a nation-state with cultural institutions, ethnic Chinese had undergone literary expressions. Moreover, culture at that time was widely accepted for Malay nations, Java, Balinese, etc. Conversely, many identity challenges and contestation during Dutch colonial, Old Order, and New Order pressed the ethnic Chinese in various ways. In addition, this can be understood as a part of cultural exchange. Hence, Indonesian literature is currently strongly influenced by the contact of Malay and Chinese literature.

“Kekristenan dan Nasionalisme di Indonesia” membahas mengenai sejarah kekristenan di Indonesia yang diasumsikan sebagai agama yang pro terhadap penjajah dari Barat namun asumsi itu tidak benar sebagai bukti ada banyak tokoh Kristen yang ikut memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Indonesia dengan didasarkan semangat nasionalisme. Kemudian pasca-kolonial Belanda kekristenan ingin menampilkan wajah baru yang sungguh-sungguh keindonesiaan dengan lahirnya organisasi DGI/PGI. Namun seiring waktu ketika berakhirnya era orde baru dan memasuki era reformasi, kekristenan dan masyarakat lainnya di Indonesia menghadapi arus gelombang yang mengatas-namakan agama yang pergerakannya cukup masif dibandingkan di era orde lama diantaranya: kelompok Islam fundamentalis yang ingin menjadikan NKRI bersyariat Islam, adanya gerakan politik transnasional HTI yang ingin menghidupkan kembali kejayaan Islam pada abad ke-6 dan faham Wahabisme yang sarat dengan kekerasan. Persoalan lainnya ialah adanya kemiskinan yang terstruktur akibat dari krisis moneter yang melanda di Indonesia tahun 1997. Melalui masalah ini, setiap agama-agama di Indonesia harus melakukan konvergensi atas dasar keprihatinan yang sama. Abstract: Christianity and Nationalism in Indonesia” discuss the history of Christianity in Indonesia, which is assumed to be a religion that is pro to Western colonialism. Still, this assumption is incorrect as evidence that many Christian figures fought for Indonesian independence based on the spirit of nationalism. Then post-colonial of Dutch, Christianity wanted to be presented a truly Indonesian face with the birth of the DGI / PGI organization. But over time when the end of the new order and entering the era of reform, Christianity and the other societies in Indonesia faced challenges in the name of religion whose movements were quite massive compared to the old order including fundamentalist Islamic groups who wanted to make the Republic of Syariat Muslim Indonesia, a transnational HTI political movement that wanted to revive the glory of Islam in the 6th century and the ideology of Wahhabism which is loaded with violence. Another problem is the existence of structured poverty due to the monetary crisis that hit Indonesia in 1997. Through this problem, every religion in Indonesia must converge on the basis of the same concerns.

In the history of the nation, from independence to now, there are three kinds of democracy that once applied in the constitutional life of Indonesia, namely the liberal democracy, the guided democracy, and the Pancasila democracy.

<p>This paper discusses the relation between Islam and the State as experienced by Indonesian Muslims. Using the historical analysis it begins to delineate the struggle for political Islam in Indonesia with their diverse aspirations from the very beginning of Indonesia as a nation state until the collapse of Suharto regime. In terms of Islamic political struggle, this explains that there was a shift from legalistic-formalistic Islamic political articulation in the Old Order and the beginning of New Order Era into more substantiality pragmatic method. This eventually leads to the formation on the theorization of political Islam since there is no a single definitive theory of political Islam in the Islamic scholarship. Muslims in Indonesia have offered a brilliant concept Pancasila' as a solution in the multicultural situation like Indonesia. Pancasila was considered not only by the founding fathers of Indonesia but also by majority of Indonesian Muslims as an interpretation and contextualization of Islamic Politics in the pluralist society of Indonesia in order to create more harmonious and peaceful life.</p><p>Key Words: Islam, State, Muslim Politics</p>

Volume 17 is devoted to China’s relationships with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. In this group, Poland occupies one of the central positions due to, among other, a high interest in Polish history among Chinese intellectual elite of the early twentieth century and among the reformers of Chinese literature in that period. The article discusses the sources of the popularity of Polish themes in the formative period of modern Chinese literature and the reception of Polish literature in China today. It also attempts to familiarise the readers with the themes studied by the researchers, the goals they set for themselves and the methods they used to achieve them, and presents the benefits of publishing the book in Polish.

Traditionally, Chinese women were seen as homemakers. They were expected to stay home and to take care of their children while their husbands were out at work. The overseas Chinese in Japan were no exception. Most of the first generation who followed their husbands to Japan were housewives. Although a number of women helped out in the family business alongside their husbands, overseas-Chinese women were positioned as “stay-home mothers” and “helping wives.” This research aims to question and reposition the perception of overseas Chinese women in Japan. I utilized fieldwork, primary and secondary textual sources, and oral-history interviews to study the representation of overseas-Chinese women in Yokohama’s Chinatown. Analysis of my fieldwork materials and life stories of the overseas-Chinese women allows me to argue that the second and third generations of overseas-Chinese women in Yokohama were no ordinary housewives but pioneers in supporting overseas-Chinese education. I explored how members of a women’s Association founded and managed education services and cultural activities in the Yokohama’s Chinatown community. This research is the first English-language project that investigates the relationship between overseas-Chinese women and education. It fills in the gaps in existing literature by highlighting the role of overseas-Chinese women, the history of overseas-Chinese education, and the relationship between ethnic-Chinese identity formation and the input of overseas-Chinese women in Yokohama’s Chinatown.传统中国妇女被一向视为主妇,以在家中照顾孩子扶助丈夫为业。在日华侨妇女也并无例外: 不少跟随丈夫来日的第一代华侨妇女一般都是家庭主妇。 虽然仍一有小部分华侨妇女与丈夫一同打理家庭生意,总的来说,第一代华侨妇女被塑造为「留家母亲」及「协助丈夫的妻子」的形象。 此研究旨在提出及重新检视在日华侨妇女的角色。 笔者以亲身考察与口述历史访问的方法,以一手及二手资料佐证,探讨日本横滨中华街的华侨妇女之情况。 透过实地考察和华侨妇女们的真实故事,笔者发现第二及第三代华侨妇女经已不在单单担任持家的主妇及母亲的角色,更是推动在日华侨教育的先锋。 此研究将深入探讨横滨一华侨妇女团体成立及发展华侨教育及文化活动的历史,为首个以英文撰写有关在日华侨妇女与华侨教育发展的学术论文。,旨在填补现时学述上有关华侨研究的空隙,包括华侨妇女角色、在日华侨教育之历史及在日华侨民族认同华侨教育的关系。This article is in English.

This qualitative study examines political ideology mainly on Pancasila and its association in the development of Indonesian films. Like other countries, Indonesia has undergone a change of political system from time to time. Indonesian Ideology and its political system evolved in three phases: Orde Lama (the old order), Orde Baru (the new order) and Orde Reformasi (the reformed order) that directly or indirectly form the narrative and plot of popular Indonesian films. As a policy of the nation-state, pancasila that emerged during the era of Orde Lama is influential not only to enlight the creation of national identity but to form popular views in various contexts including filmmaking. Thus, this study will analyse the importance of Pancasila as a major element in the making of popular Indonesian films and various challenges to maintain its role as important ideology for establishing the national identity of the state.
