An important issue that is not yet adequately discussed by critics is the (partial) presence of the protagonist R.M. Minke. The beginning of the quartet starts with signs and correlatives exhibiting the triumph of Western colonialism in the Dutch East Indies. Minke-as the epitome of the native Javanese - takes the signs as Western inscription in the East Indies. Being Western-educated, Minke acknowledges the superiority of Western science and technology He is in the process of moving to a space of separation, pushed farther from his owr native culture. Minke writes in Dutch, the signifier of the colonial authority. Therefore this essay examines Minke's adoption of Western culture—language and education— and how it brings him to the space of colonial representation where his (partial presence challenges the authority of dominating discourse of colonialism, especial after the defeat before the colonial law. Framed within Bhabha's theory hybridity, this essay will find out how the colonial discourse is always in the state of splitting between the original and the repetition. This undecidability will produce a hybrid that finally menaces the dominant discourse. The colonial court, which fails Minke, is a theatre that sheds light on the darkness of the native culture. However, the defeat discloses the irony and ambivalence of colonial authority because the Dutch coloma court in Java is a displacement, a distortion.
