This analysis of three debates among the Indonesian (mainly Javanese) elite of the 1930s illustrates what was meant by "iboe jang sedjati", or "the true women", in a decade of striving nationalism and a more outspoken feminist movement. The debates concern a fashion show/beauty contest; concubinage; and the role of modern Indonesian women themselves. The article demonstrates that in response to ongoing processes of modernization or Westernization, Javanese gender perceptions were voiced in an Indonesian idiom of a moral character, as opposed to what was considered the immorality of Dutch colonial and Western culture. This gender idiom was infused with the idea of harmony: harmony among different Indonesian women's organizations and harmony between Indonesian women and Indonesian men. Moreover, in addition to a "maternal feminism," focused on women as child bearers and child educators, a "companionate feminism" emerged toward women supporting men. This companionate feminism betrayed traditional Javanese norms of being "halus" (refined), but it also served new political goals of Indonesian unity and Indonesian nationalism.

Harry Harootunian
Cultural Studies·2004·37 citations
The issue this paper wishes to address is how history, as encoded in historiography of history-writing, is actually based upon its capacity to conceal, disguise and indeed suppress the everyday. This is especially true when you consider that most history is really driven by the nation state and that far from envisaging a history free or rescued from the nation, most history-writing ends up reinforcing it. In other words, history’s primary vocation has been to displace the constant danger posed by the surplus of everyday life, to overcome its apparent ‘trivia’, ‘banalities’ and untidiness in order to find an encompassing register that will fix meaning. With Hegel, narrative was given the role of supplying the maximal unity by which to grasp the meaning of history. What immediately got privileged was, of course, the nation state in the making of world historical events or and ultimately class, subjects who can claim world historical agency. By the same measure, the surplus or messy residues of modern life, especially its immensely staggering complexities, its endless incompletions and repetitions – all irreducible – are repressed or in some instances the microcosmic is sometimes mobilized to reinforce macrocosmic meaning. (This has frequently been called history from below and what Germans have called Alltagsgeschichte.) What I would like to do is explore the category of everydayness, ushered in with the masses and the appearance of the subaltern, as a minimal unity that provides its own principle of historical temporality that easily challenges the practice of history-writing as we know it.
