“…(Purwanta, 2017). Another study highlights that attempts have been made to change the representations of the past in selected national events (Suwignyo, 2014) to diverge readers attention from the responsibility of the New Order regime pertaining to the mass killing in 1960s. 19 These include the state-centered, citizen-centered, and ummah-centered narratives.…”

This study focuses on continuities and changes in the dualism of national education after the collapse of the New-Order Regime in 1998. It argues that the Indonesian dualism of education may serve as a significant context in shaping the existing tensions in citizenship education in post- New-Order Indonesia. Drawing from a thematic analysis of citizenship education documents, related policy, and interviews with authors and higher education teaching staff, this study echoes the latest observations that reveal a more intertwining than rigid separation of the continuing dualism of national education. Yet, unlike the previous studies that reveal the tensions in more Islamic-based education, in its response to a more secular and modern demand, this study further highlights the intertwining of the dualism of education palpable in the citizenship education policy in post-New-Order Indonesia. It further calls for policy makers and educators to evaluate the existing citizenship education curriculum and its implementation within the context of an intertwined educational dualism in Indonesia. As such, this paper further aims to highlight the urgency of considering broader cultural and political contexts and actors involved in the process of reproducing official narratives of Indonesianess in the national curricula.

“…Several studies have attempted to understand the practice of religious education in Indonesia post reformasi 1998 from political (Eddyono, 2018;Sirozi, 2004) historical (Suwignyo, 2014;Elson, 2009) pedagogical (Azra, 2007;Qodir, 2018;Buchori and Malik, 2004), and sociological (Pohl, 2006;Hefner, 2009;Mujiburrahman, 2019) perspectives. Few studies, however, have attempted to conceptualise the practice of religious education in Indonesia.…”

This work aims to investigate the preference of the Indonesian for a specific type of religious education model, and to provide a theoretical understanding of this preference. In particular, this study aims to answer two research questions: How do Indonesian practice mono-religious education model? How should this practice be understood from Durkheim’s concept of mechanical solidarity? Three models of ethnographical study were conducted to answer the research questions: Analysing the state’s law on education, particularly with regard to religious education, in-depth interviews with school’ managers (Kepala Sekolah) and religious education teachers as well as the students. This study found that Indonesia prefers a mono-religious education model, as shown in the State's laws on education and the practice of religious education in schools. Unlike previous studies that mainly describe the practice of certain model of religious education, this study offers conceptual understanding of the practice of religious education by Durkheim's notions of mechanical solidarity. The mono-religious model is a social fact because it consists of the norms and values that are practised by and commonly found in all members of society. Comparative studies on the practice of religious education in Muslim countries might be needed as this mono-religious education model is a common practice by Muslim societies.

“…state monuments or national holidays dedicated to the Indonesian tragedy . School history books continue to teach Suharto-era interpretations of history (Leksana 2009;Suwignyo 2014;Purwanta 2017). Public events to raise awareness leading to national reconciliation continue to be marked by fierce opposition and harassment (Tempo, 16 May 2016).…”

The Act of Singing: Women, Music, and the Politics of Truth and Reconciliation in Indonesia

(English/Indonesian)In this article, I show how the Dialita women’s choir uses music to contest the ongoing denial of state-sponsored violence that followed the Indonesian tragedy of 1965–66, particularly as it impacted women. More specifically, Dialita uses their experiences and positionalities as women to perform an alternative collective memory for younger generations of Indonesians. Composed in prison, Dialita’s musical repertoire memorialises the affects and effects of imprisonment, exile, trauma, and survival. Due to government censure and public condemnation, the songs had been silenced by the Indonesian state and hidden underground from the public since the Indonesian tragedy. In the early 2000s, the women of Dialita formed a musical group and courageously began performing in public, collaborating with young musicians and recording the songs. I contend that women’s collective singing is an act of critical remembrance, opening a new front in struggles for truth and reconciliation, especially when juridical appeals and strategies have been rebuffed.
