296 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 Abstrak The Proposal Research explores uses of the past in contemporary Indonesia. The end of the New order government in 1998 ushered in a period of historical revisionism and attendant scholarship addressed to those revisionist practices, conducted variously under the mantles penulisan kembali sejarah =rewriting of history and pelurusan sejarah =straightening of History. This research will seek to understand how history is actually employed-the rhetorical strategies that underlie specific arguments advanced on the basis of a collective vision of the past. In concrete terms: by what means is the recent past remembered and how does it come to be codified as history? How do visions of the past come to be shared and how do narratives first espoused by the former government become politically available for fresh actors engaged in novel projects? Who authors or re-authors these narratives and by what means do they circulate? What are the roles of religious and educational institutions in these processes? The research will proceed along three primary axes: 1 archival research at the National archives in Jakarta; 2 digital ethnography on Indonesia’s reformist Islamic political website; 3 oral history and ethnography among university-aged youths in Semarang. The Archival research in devoted to understanding how historical narratives were produced and consumed during earlier periods in Indonesia’s history. The Internet research explores authors and arguments circulating on these websites and the in-person ethnography looks at parallel arguments in the speech of specific actors. Youth represent a key community for this research since their exposure to much of history is via narratives rather than from direct personal experience. I will seek to elucidate the role specific communities principally those organized around educational institutions or religious institutions play in the formation of historical consciousness. Thus the broad fields implicated in this study include religious communities; narratives and publics; digital ethnography; and the constitution and propagation of historical consciousness.

The ultimate objective of the project is to replace the unproductive and Eurocentric debate about a possible “failure” of secularism with an empirically founded perspective on the diverse and complex approaches to the organization of cultural pluralism, interpreting the early post-colonial region of South and Southeast Asia between the late 1940s and mid-1960s as a historically unique and globally relevant “laboratory”for the political mastery of religious pluralism. In order to realize these objectives, five areas for archival research have been defined, which will allow a comparative perspective on the major principles of social ordering in relation to religion in three early post-colonial states. These areas are: Religion and urbanization,Religion and education the margins of the order
