摘要

The concept of a national identity is 'dialogical' (Bahktin, 1981) emerging out of a heteroglossic environment, and so means different things to different people. This means that nationalism is not something natural, as though a feeling of national identity and belonging simply inheres within people, but that it is constructed through language. When Suharto and his regime were still ruling Indonesia, they applied what Anderson (1991) called 'official nationalism' in order to suceeed his 'unity in diversity project'. The implementation, however, was full of contradictions because it was in conflict with the nature of the heterogeneity that made up the Indonesian communities. The New Order's nationalism project was clearly an attempt to maintain order and security in order to shore up his power rather than to explore or understand the differences that make up this vast diverse nation. The fall of Suharto in 1998 was then greeted as opening up the possibility to create a free and democratic society. Suharto's resign was also seen by people working within English literary studies in universities in Indonesia as a momentum to grapple further with alternative discourses of identity. Teaching English literature in this context should then mean providing our students with wider opportunities to study in 'the contact zone' (Pratt', 2008), allowing learning at the interfaces between languages and cultures in order to transcend and to speak back to the hierarchies implied by the dominance or hegemony of global English and its colonial legacy.
