Abstract

Abstract In 1913, a new generation of Indonesians asserted their agency by publicly demanding equality in colonial society. Through four case studies—the prohibition of traditional forms of deference, the sudden popularity of Western dress, the adoption of new legal assimilation guidelines for Indonesians, and the discussion of employee rights at a railway company—we argue that this new assertiveness reflected a broad change in mentality that we consider a turning point in Indonesian history. By focusing on Indonesian agency, we challenge the Eurocentric periodization of the Indonesian past that emphasized WWI as a trigger of change.

印尼历史上的1913年:要求平等,改变心态
1913年,新一代印尼人通过公开要求殖民地社会的平等来维护自己的权力。通过对四个案例的研究——禁止传统形式的尊重,西方服饰的突然流行,对印尼人采用新的法律同化指导方针,以及对一家铁路公司雇员权利的讨论——我们认为,这种新的自信反映了心态的广泛变化,我们认为这是印尼历史上的一个转折点。通过关注印度尼西亚机构,我们挑战了以欧洲为中心的印度尼西亚过去的分期,强调第一次世界大战是变化的触发器。

期刊介绍: TRaNS approaches the study of Southeast Asia by looking at the region as a place that is defined by its diverse and rapidly-changing social context, and as a place that challenges scholars to move beyond conventional ideas of borders and boundedness. TRaNS invites studies of broadly defined trans-national, trans-regional and comparative perspectives. Case studies spanning more than two countries of Southeast Asia and its neighbouring countries/regions are particularly welcomed.
