SUMMARY:Translation, Globalization and Indonesian Literature: Islands of Imagination?
LOCATION:Room 1.402
DESCRIPTION:In recent years, Indonesian literature has become increasingly 
 implicated in global consciousness: a growing international awareness of th
 e nation's literary riches led to Indonesia becoming the Guest of Honour at
  the 2015 Frankfurt Book Fair and the Market Focus country at the 2019 Lond
 on Book Fair. In 2016, Eka Kurniawan became the first Indonesian author to 
 be nominated for the Man Booker International Prize for Man Tiger (Lelaki H
 arimau). Translation grants under the auspices of the National Book Committ
 ee of the Ministry of Education and Culture seek to foster the production o
 f work that reaches foreign audiences and implicitly serve as a tool of sof
 t power as Indonesian actors strive to put themselves “on the map”.\n\nSimu
 ltaneously, local productions draw on settings that move beyond the nation'
 s borders to enhance a global imagination among Indonesian readers: Islamic
  popular literature encourages the envisioning of participation in a wider 
 realm of fellow believers; the “Metropop” of Ilana Tan's Seasons series pro
 vides romantic global escape, while Intan Paramaditha's far more sophistica
 ted choose-your-own adventure novel Gentayangan (The Wandering), the winner
  of Tempo's 2017 award for best piece of prose fiction, uses international 
 settings to explore themes of cosmopolitanism, displacement, nomadism, and 
 transgression. In this panel, presenters will engage with the complexities 
 of these trends to consider the impact of global imaginings upon Indonesia,
  how writers and institutions situate themselves in a worldwide landscape, 
 and how national and transnational forces structure the global circulation 
 of Indonesian literature.
