Course overview This course will provide an overview of the Indonesian cultures through a multimedia approach. First students will learn about the Dutch and the Japanese occupation in Indonesia through a series of three documentary films entitled “Riding the Tiger”. With the political background that the films provide, students then read the works of Pramoedya Ananta Tur, who had written a number of books while he was jailed as a political prisoner. A critical analysis of these films will allow a deeper understanding of how the history shaped today’s Indonesia. There are several guest speakers to the class, both from CU and non-CU community, who will talk about religion, politics, the Indonesian diverse communities, and music. Students will have a chance to learn from the perspectives of these speakers. Students will also read a series of short articles, which provide information on critical issues in the modern Indonesia, such as education, religious freedom, freedom of press, environments, workers, and arts. These readings will allow students to see the complexities faced by the people of Indonesia, and how one incident caused by a small group of people in a small city in Indonesia may not affect the rest of the country. All required texts and other course hands-out are posted on http://sudarsihbahasaindonesia.blogspot.com/.
