Abstract
This paper discusses the strategic essentialism of gender and politics in modern Indonesia by rereading literary works of Siti Rukiah (1927–96): her first novel, Kedjatuhan dan Hati (1950), and her collection of poems and short stories Tandus (1952). It locates Rukiah’s position in modern Indonesian politics and the literary world to understand how she crafted her literary skills. It highlights the importance of her hometown, Purwakarta, as the locus of her literary development. It argues that as a representative female writer of the time Rukiah offered important contri-butions to the nation’s consciousness of gender equality and liberation from the oppressive social structure.
本文通过重读西蒂·鲁凯亚(1927 - 1996)的文学作品，包括她的第一部小说《Kedjatuhan dan Hati》(1950)和她的诗歌和短篇小说集《Tandus》(1952)，探讨了现代印度尼西亚性别和政治的战略本质主义。它定位了鲁凯亚在现代印尼政治和文学界的地位，以了解她是如何磨练自己的文学技巧的。它突出了她的家乡普瓦卡塔作为她文学发展的中心的重要性。文章认为，作为当时具有代表性的女作家，鲁凯亚为民族的性别平等意识和从压迫性的社会结构中解放出来做出了重要贡献。
期刊介绍：
The new journal aims to promote excellent, agenda-setting scholarship and provide a forum for dialogue and collaboration both within and beyond the region. Southeast Asian Studies engages in wide-ranging and in-depth discussions that are attuned to the issues, debates, and imperatives within the region, while affirming the importance of learning and sharing ideas on a cross-country, global, and historical scale. An integral part of the journal’s mandate is to foster scholarship that is capable of bridging the continuing divide in area studies between the social sciences and humanities, on the one hand, and the natural sciences, on the other hand. To this end, the journal welcomes accessibly written articles that build on insights and cutting-edge research from the natural sciences. The journal also publishes research reports, which are shorter but fully peer-reviewed articles that present original findings or new concepts that result from specific research projects or outcomes of research collaboration.
