Abstract

ABSTRACT Indonesian domestic workers (IDWs) have been frequently stereotyped as uneducated and submissive women with little or no bargaining power in transnational labour migration. This article examines why and how literacy practices help foster the activism of IDWs in Hong Kong. In particular, I seek to understand the significance of IDWs’ writing in relation to Islamic modernities. Using the framework of alternative modernities, I argue that the creative process of IDWs’ writing sheds light to their attempts to exercise individual and collective agency. Specifically, the article looks at the role of Forum Lingkar Pena (Pen Circle Forum, FLP) Hong Kong, an IDW writing community, to reveal how its collective literacy practices help affirm Islamic values as part of a modernisation process on IDWs’ own terms.

通过创造性写作定义伊斯兰现代性——以香港印尼家庭佣工为例
印尼家庭佣工(idw)经常被定型为未受过教育和顺从的妇女,在跨国劳动力迁移中几乎没有议价能力。本文探讨扫盲活动为何及如何促进香港残障人士的行动主义。特别是,我试图理解idw的写作与伊斯兰现代性的关系的意义。利用另类现代性的框架,我认为idw写作的创作过程揭示了他们行使个人和集体能动性的尝试。具体来说,这篇文章着眼于IDW写作社区Forum Lingkar Pena (Pen Circle Forum, FLP)香港的角色,以揭示其集体扫盲实践如何帮助确认伊斯兰价值观,并将其作为IDW自己的现代化进程的一部分。
