Subject: Reminder SISC Seminar Friday 25 May
Importance: High

 

Dear friends and colleagues

 

This is to remind you that the third SISC (Sydney Indonesia Study
Circle) public seminar of the year will take place on Friday 25 May when
Professor Adrian Vickers will discuss the extremely interesting topic of
Indonesia's history wars.

 

Speaker: Adrian Vickers

 

Adrian Vickers is Professor of Southeast Asian Studies at the University
of Sydney, and his most recent book is A History of Modern Indonesia
(Cambridge University Press, 2005). He is currently completing an
Australian Research Council-funded research project on the politics of
Indonesian history since 1998.

 

Topic: Indonesia's History Wars

 

Since the fall of Suharto over 1,600 books have been published in
Indonesia on history, and there have been many more newspaper articles,
websites and other manifestations of history. While some of these
publications have been concerned with the events of 1965, there have
been other issues and polemics that have been important in Indonesia.
This paper looks at the function of history writing in the context of
the 'history wars' in Indonesia. The Indonesian history wars can be
considered as another manifestation of history wars going on in other
parts of the world, but I argue that there are some unique aspects to
the Indonesian case. History in Indonesia needs to be viewed in terms of
the interaction between history research coming out of universities, and
popular assumptions about the nature of history. I ask what role deeper
cultural concepts of origins, claims and memory play in the current
polemics.

Time and Date: 6pm Friday 25 May

 

Venue: University of Technology, Sydney, CM05C.02.46
