Re-Writing the Nation: The Politics of Indonesian History since Suharto

在苏哈托总统领导下的印尼新秩序时代，历史在国家意识形态中起到了直接宣传的作用。到目前为止，随后的三届政府还没有制定出替代性的国家意识形态。在国家缺乏明确方向的情况下，伊斯兰、民族主义和其他团体竞相争夺权力。通过考察1998年以来印度尼西亚历史辩论的政治，该项目分析了印度尼西亚政治合法性被竞争团体重塑的过程。该项目将促进对历史的公共用途和印度尼西亚政治话语不稳定性质的理解。

In Indonesia's New Order era under President Suharto, history served a direct propaganda role in state ideology. As yet no replacement state ideology has been formulated by the three subsequent governments. In the absence of a clear direction for the state, Islamic, nationalist and other groups jockey for power. By examining the politics of historical debates in Indonesia since 1998, this project analyses processes by which political legitimacy is being reshaped by the contending groups in Indonesia. The project will advance the understanding both of the public uses of history and of the unstable nature of Indonesian political discourse.
