![]() ![]() This feminist strain is not part of the mainstream national imagination, but some feminist collectives have nurtured spaces and linkages that challenge universalizing views of feminism and the coloniality of both the West and Java, interrogate the (geo)politics of knowledge production, and connect feminists across the archipelago by foregrounding solidarity that confronts rather than erases difference and borders. While liberal, Islamic, and neoliberal feminist ideas continue to circulate, Paramaditha argues that we are witnessing a new direction of feminism in Indonesia, which she calls the trans-archipelagic decolonial feminist trajectory. ![]() In this lecture, Intan Paramaditha draw on her experience being part of a collective and a larger network of feminist cultural activism in Indonesia. What does Indonesian feminism look like? Scholars interested in post-authoritarian Indonesian public cultures have focused on liberal feminism, a movement centred on individual rights and body autonomy that aligns with Reformasi rhetoric of "freedom of expression," or Islamic feminism, emphasizing on women's struggle for authority within Islamic organisations and its potential to counter the mainstreaming of conservative Islam. Paramaditha has a penchant for stories about people who find themselves stuck, one choice at a time. In ‘The Wandering’, You are the choices that you make, and happy endings are hard to come by.

Five years younger than she is, Reed thinks of Hattie as combination of older sister and boss. She also decides that if she marries Ancil, she’ll sell the farm to Reed Tyler, her hired man who’s worked on it for all his life. But Hattie fears she’ll never have a family of her own, so she agrees that he can court her. Hattie has been single for so long that no one imagines she’s interested in a husband, and Ancil is prompted by his seven kids’ need for a mother rather than any desire for her. Hattie Colfax, a spinster aged twenty-nine who owns her own farm, discovers that the recently widowed Ancil Drayton has asked their preacher whether it would be appropriate to court her. ![]() Courting Miss Hattie, set in Arkansas in the early 1900s, was no exception when it came to the warm fuzzies, but something in the execution proved lacking. ![]() ![]() Pamela Morsi’s Americana romances always give me a cozy feeling when I pick them up, as if I’m about to wrap a quilt around myself and sip hot chocolate. ![]() |
