International Interactions

Traditional histories of Early Modern exchange tend to emphasize the dispersion and adoption (or rejection) of European science and culture. More recently, there has been an historiographical trend to see early modern international interactions as multi-direction exchanges in which all parties are altered in each interaction. The 1685 French-Jesuit Embassy to Siam provides an interesting opportunity to explore the implications of this multi-directional approach. Although this exchange had no significant, lasting impact on either Siam or France, the dynamics at play demonstrate how each party’s attitude towards the exchange impacted their ability to achieve their aims. This paper uses Guy Tachard’s first-hand account of the 1685 Embassy, Voyage to Siam, to explore the political, scientific, and religious exchanges that took place between the French and the Siamese. On each of these levels, the French were consistently concerned with their own perception and cultural superiority whereas the Siamese were primarily motivated by a desire for an intellectual exchange. The Siamese successfully gained scientific equipment and knowledge from the French Jesuits whereas the Jesuits failed to convert Siam to Christianity. Thus, this interaction shows how differing attitudes lead to tangible differences in the outcome of this cross-cultural interaction.

Cultural Features

Concepts such as creolization and hybridity offer inclusive frameworks to study identity formation emanating from cross-cultural interaction. The borrowing of such concepts developed from recent history must contend with their relevance for the past as well as their applicability for understanding objects with mixed cultural features. This article reassesses the hybrid concept by contrasting a cognitive approach that identifies the figurative processes behind the local adaptation of foreign things. Looking at objects from Han China and the northern Black Sea, I examine how nomads and imperial agents conceptualized foreign objects through metonymic and metaphoric associations to influence understandings of self and group identity.

O presente artigo busca refletir sobre relações entre literatura e história, ao analisar aspectos sobre colonização e identidade no conto A historiadora obstinada, do livro No seu Pescoço, da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Na leitura do conto, percebe-se a representação do choque cultural entre o colonizador e o colonizado, bem como a forma como a identidade cultural africana é alterada, até que haja uma contemporânea desmistificação da história oficial do colonizador pelo olhar da personagem Grace. O conto, publicado em 2017, aponta para a discussão sobre a necessidade de trabalhar outro olhar sobre a colonização de países africanos como a Nigéria, desta vez a partir da visão do colonizado. O estudo foi norteado pela relação entre literatura e história na perspectiva teórica de Linda Hutcheon, com o livro Poética do Pós-Modernismos, e de Roger Chartier, no livro A História Cultural Entre Práticas e Representações. Sobre a identidade cultural, fez-se uso do trabalho de Stuart Hall no livro A Identidade Cultural da Pós-Modernidade. Por fim, sobre a problemática do sujeito colonizado foi apresentada a leitura do livro O Retrato do colonizador precedido pelo Colonizado, de Albert Memmi.Palavras-chave: Chimamanda Adichie. Identidade. Colonização. Literatura e história.ABSTRACTThis article aims to analyze relationship between literature and history in the short story “The headstrong historian”, in the book The thing around your neck, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. We find to understand how colonization and identity are built in the text. In short story’s lecture, we realize the cultural shock’s representation between colonizer and colonized, as well as how African cultural identity is changed. We observe in the text too a contemporary point of view on the character Grace, that demystifies colonizer official story. The short story was published in 2017, and your plot aims to discuss about other views of African countries as Nigeria, emphasizing colonized point of view. The study was guided by literature and history’s relationship proposed by Linda Hutcheon, with the book A Poetics of Posmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction, and by Roger Chartier, with the book Cultural History: between practices and representations. About cultural identity, we use Stuart Hall’s study, in the book The question of cultural identity. At least, we present the lecture of the book The colonizer and the colonized, by Albert Memmi, to think about colonized subject’s problem.Keywords: Chimamanda Adichie. Identity. Colonization.

It would be impossible for the great powers of Europe to come together in peaceful association after centuries of conflict. The French would not trust the Germans, the Poles would never agree to a demilitarised western border and anyway, without a common language the whole experiment would be doomed to failure from the start. But half a century later the dream has become reality. It is today impossible to imagine the German army contemplating the conquest of Belgium or the French attempting to once again take the British crown. Europe has enjoyed more peace for more people for longer than at any point in the past 500 years and Fins, Maltese, Portuguese and Latvians find themselves committed to a common project of understanding and positive cross-cultural interaction.

Narrative Patterns

Abstract: This study aims to look at narrative patterns in the collection of short stories "Karaban Snow Dance" (TSK). From the fifteen short stories, the researchers took five main stories, namely the Karaban Snow Dance (Tarian Salju Karaban), The Fall of a Leaf (Gugurnya Sehelai Daun),  Canting Kinanti Song (Tembang Canting Kinanti), Jagoan Men Arrived (Lelaki Jagoan Tiba), and Origami Pigeon (Merpati Origami). Of the five short stories, environmental themes and honesty appear most often. The place setting depicted shows the environment that is close to the author or according to the author's origin. The main characters in the four short stories are children, only one short story Male Hero Tiban (Lelaki Jagoan Tiban/LJK) who uses adult takoh as the main character. The child leaders in LJK only appear in the past stories of the main characters. The five short stories do not show a picture of whole parents (father and mother). The warm relationship between mother and child appears clearly, in contrast to the father-child relationship that is almost negligent. The five short stories also represent how children become heroes for their family, friends, and environment.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pola narasi pada kumpulan cerpen Tarian Salju Karaban (TSK). Dari limabelas cerpen yang ada, peneliti mengambil lima cerpen utama yakni “Tarian Salju Karaban”, “Gugurnya Sehelai Daun”, “Tembang Canting Kinanti”, “Lelaki Jagoan Tiba”, dan “Merpati Origami”. Kelima cerpen menampilkan tema lingkungan dan kejujuran. Latar tempat yang digambarkan memperlihatkan lingkuangan yang dekat dengan penulis atau sesuai dengan asal usul penulis. Tokoh utama dalam keempat cerpen tersebut ialah anak-anak, hanya satu cerpen “Lelaki Jagoan Tiban” (LJK) yang menggunakan takoh dewasa sebagai tokoh utama. Tokoh anak dalam LJK hanya muncul dalam cerita masa lalu tokoh utama. Kelima cerpen tersebut tidak memperlihatkan gambaran orangtua utuh (ayah dan ibu). Relasi yang hangat antara ibu dan anak muncul dengan jelas, berbeda dengan relasi bapak-anak yang nyaris alpa. Kelima  cerpen tersebut juga merepresentasikan bagaimana anak-anak menjadi pahlawan bagi keluarga, sahabat, dan lingkungannya.
