The Wali in Wati and Woi: Oral traditions on the introduction of Islam in the Aru Islands

The twin islands Wasir (Wati) and Ujir (Woi) in the Aru archipelago are as far as we know the easternmost reach of early Muslim missions in Island Southeast Asia. According to local oral traditions Islam was introduced by a wali (holy man) from the Holy Land.

The talk presents new findings achieved through an ongoing project aimed at documenting Ujir, one of Indonesia’s endangered languages. The project, “Roos and Ruins”, has generated a body of recordings of oral traditions pertaining to the arrival of Islam in Aru. This event (as yet undated) highlights the early involvement of Aru in international networks.

Ujir, or Woi, is known from previous archaeological research as the location of extensive and so far unidentified ruin areas. Some of these seem to be of pre-Islamic date, while others are associated with Islam. Ruins, religion and oral traditions provide intriguing possibilities for exploring the historical past of Aru and the spread of Islam into the eastern parts of the Indonesian archipelago. The presentation concerns work in progress which might form the basis of a future interdisciplinary research project. Comments and suggestions on possible directions for further studies and interpretations of the findings presented are highly appreciated.

The presentation is held in English. Questions and comments can be posed in English or Indonesian.

Citizenship, welfare and the non-state institution: Theorizing the case of the 20th century Indonesia

The emergence of post-Second World War independent states in Southeast Asia not only marked the switch of the category of the region from formerly “Western colonies” into that of “developing” and “the South-group” countries. It also assumed the legacy of State-driven citizenship and public welfare. The aim of this presentation is to theorize and to invite further debate on the complexity that such a State-driven paradigm of citizenship and public welfare had presented in the context of 20th century Indonesia. By far, standard Indonesian historiography suggests that the role of the State was looming large in the affairs. Yet, in this presentation it is argued that both state and non-state institutions exchanged roles and influenced each other in the creation of public welfare and citizenship across the late colonial and post-colonial periods, thus making co-existence of a dual institutional system.

Musical and socio-cultural diversity and unity in Yogyakarta: Fifteen years ago and today

Dr. Max Richter is a Research Fellow (Indonesian Engagement) at Monash Sustainability Institute and Deputy Director of the Monash Asia Institute. His doctoral research centered on musical practices and discussions in downtown Yogyakarta in 2000-2001, subsequently published as Musical worlds in Yogyakarta (KITLV/ISEAS, available as Global Commons through OAPEN). That research focused on street-based occupational groups and their identifications with musik jalanan and campursari, and drew on Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts while also seeking to formulate alternative approaches. Nowadays Max Richter’s research includes remote-area electrification in Indonesia and strengthening Australia-Indonesia collaborative research partnerships, but he also maintains a keen interest in Indonesia’s musical life. This presentation will begin by reflecting on musical influences on social relations around 2000-2001. It will then invite discussion on music in present-day Yogyakarta, and what this might tell us about Indonesian cultural and political trends more broadly.
