SUMMARY:(P62AB) Subdued Clamor from Sumatra: Voicing alternative memories, narratives, and histories (1)
LOCATION:K10 | 2.25
DESCRIPTION:The foundation of a nation entails the establishment of a share
 d imagination that can bond together its national citizens. For ex-colonize
 d countries at the beginning of their independence, a common historical nar
 rative and shared memories have been used as powerful tools to define a new
  national identity. In the case of Indonesia, which has achieved its indepe
 ndence through warfare, revolution, and diplomacy, the creation of national
  history and collective memory has revolved around anti-colonial sentiments
  melted with patriotic and heroic actions directed to safeguard the newborn
  nation. In this process, the central political authority has played the ma
 in role in determining an official historical narrative/narration of the ne
 w state and in fixing a set of shared cultural elements that could represen
 t the national population as a whole. In the name of national unity, politi
 cal stability, integration, and economic development, the central authority
  enforced the official narrative and memory, especially in the first 50 yea
 rs of Indonesian independence. These efforts were, however, counterbalanced
  by strong oppression of and negotiations with other stories and perspectiv
 es, such as the ones of the regions or social groups in the periphery. Afte
 r the fall of Soeharto’s authoritarian regime, the political decentralisati
 on and a more relaxed control of the central power over local authorities p
 aved the way for questioning the official narrative and memory. Bottom-up i
 nitiatives, locality, local identity, have started to contest the official 
 version of history and tend to foreground perspectives, for instance from t
 he victim’s perspective of the national revolution or other minor voices th
 at have been ignored to this very moment. This panel focuses on the efforts
  of local communities on the island of Sumatra to subvert or counter centra
 lising narratives, to create alternative memories and to encourage differen
 t ways of looking at the construction of the nation by bringing up unheard 
 voices of the so-called “agents”, “victims”, and “witnesses” of all but for
 gotten historical events.
