Detail CONTEXTUAL AND HUMANISTIC LITERATURE: SOUTHEAST ASIAN TURN   Oleh:  Dewi, Novita Jenis: Article from Proceeding Dalam koleksi: The 1st Literary Studies Conference: Configuring and Reconfiguring English Literature in Southeast Asia (SEA), Yogyakarta, Universitas Sanata Dharma, 17-18 Oktober 2013 Topik: Southeast Asian Literature; postcolonial society; humanistic values Fulltext: 4 Southeast Asian Turn.pdf (479.02KB) Isi artikel Demographic change of users and providers of English as well as growing interests in Asian literature written in and/or translated into English have all compelled us to rethink about literary studies in Indonesia. Given our postcolonial experiences in today’s cultural and political context, the use of more literary pieces from Southeast Asian countries in English Literature studies is all the more important. This paper attempts to map out Southeast Asian literature within the development of English as a Lingua Franca. Characteristic of postmodern age is the recognition of people as human persons; and, in this case, Asian people as multilingual and multicultural subjects. As it is, reading and evaluating works from the region may help develop a deeper understanding when defining our own place in relation to other people. It is through engaging in contextual and humanistic literary experiences that we measure and value the connection between literature and life.
