Rona Budaya adalah persembahan karya ilmiah untuk menghargai kepakaran Sapardi Djoko Damono. Para penyumbang buku ini menulis berdasarkan bidang keahlian masing-masing, yang secara langsung dan tidak langsung menunjukkan hasil rintisan Sapardi untuk meluaskan dimensi ilmu dan dialog lintas disiplin dari Fakultas Sastra menjadi Fakultas Ilmu Pengatahuan Budaya. Buku ini memaparkan hasil upaya Sapardi untuk membangun ilmu sastra melalui mata kuliah dan berbagai jenis penelitian yang dirambahnya, dari sosiologi sastra, ssatra populer, sejarah sastra, kajian alih-wahana dan ekranisasi, dan sastra bandingan. Rona Budaya juga merujuk pengembangan kajian yang bersifat lintas dan inter disiplin, termasuk filsafat, sejarah, arkeologi, perpustakaan, linguistik, dan kajian dengan paradigma di luar bidang sosial humaniora untuk memperkaya ilmu sastra dan budaya. Kepedulian Sapardi dalam persoalan kebahasaan, pendidikan, dan kebudayaan telah bergaung dalam tulisan-tulisan dalam buku, yang ditulis oleh mantan mahasiswa dan kolega.

Festschrift untuk Sapardi Djoko Damono

Rona Budaya

This book is a collection of essays in Indonesian history and archaeology dealing with different and multiple trajectories, along four broad themes. The first part of the book covers competing or evolving representations of events, customs or traditions, and historical personae in Indonesian official and popular expression, as they are shaped by economic, political, and cultural forces. The second part deals with memories of war and peace, examining transnational conflict and collaboration, the role of political elites and state projects dealing with the aftermath of military aggression, while also focusing on the impact and responses of civilians. The third part focuses on how state and civil societies frame historical figures, in ways that transcend the dichotomy of heroes and victims. The fourth part of the book looks at the way Indonesian museums and museology serve as sites where new kinds of memory work occur, in a post-1998 era. The book is designed with the aim of clearing a space for a plurality of memory works. Discussions in this volume extend from Loloda island in Eastern Indonesia, to Sabang island at the north westernmost end of the archipelago, and to the cosmopolitan centers. Temporally, it covers the colonial, the post-independence and contemporary eras. By juxtaposing diverse works, the book offers a new vista of multiple trajectories of memory being traced out in and about Indonesia. This is an open access book.

The book contains essays on current issues in arts and humanities in which peoples and cultures compete as well as collaborate in globalizing the world while maintaining their uniqueness as viewed from cross- and interdisciplinary perspectives. The book covers areas such as literature, cultural studies, archaeology, philosophy, history, language studies, information and literacy studies, and area studies. Asia and the Pacifi c are the particular regions that the conference focuses on as they have become new centers of knowledge production in arts and humanities and, in the future, seem to be able to grow signifi cantly as a major contributor of culture, science and arts to the globalized world. The book will help shed light on what arts and humanities scholars in Asia and the Pacifi c have done in terms of research and knowledge development, as well as the new frontiers of research that have been explored and opening up, which can connect the two regions with the rest of the globe.

Cultural Dynamics in a Globalized World

Riris K. Toha-Sarumpaet, 

Puisi Sapardi Djoko Damono sesungguhnya adalah puisi yang wajar, namun dalam khazanah perpuisian kita, ia menjadi puisi yang harus. Nirwan Dewanto (Budayawan) ... kumpulan ini memperlihatkan keragaman agama dan kepercayaan, kristiani, muslim, maupun animisme. Kematian disambut dengan khidmat... dengan sikap hormat, kita menyisih, memberi jalan, dan berbicara pelan. Apsanti Djokosujatno(Guru Besar Ilmu Sastra Fakultas Ilmu Pengetahuan Budaya Universitas Indonesia) Sebuah penelitian yang bersungguh-sungguuh boleh jadi dapat menyikapkan bahwa suasana "ngeri" memang sungguh menjadi mousike sebagian besar karya-karya Sapardi. Bakdi Soemanto (Giri Besar Ilmu Sastra Fakultas Ilmu Budaya Universitas Gadjah Mada) [Sapardi] terus saja meninjau, dan mempertimbangkan jalan kepenyairan yang telah ia tempuh. Terua saja gelisah, dan karena itu saya kira, maka ia terus menulis puisi. Hasan Aspahani (Penyair, Wartawan) Dari kata sugestif ke acuan transparan... bagian pertama berbentuk naratif, tetapi bagian kedua berupa sonet, buku ketiga gabungan keduanya, membuat kita bertanya, bagaimana kumpulan sajaknya yang akan datang? Toeti Heraty Noerhadi (Guru Besar Filsafat Fakultas Ilmu Pengetahuan Budaya Universitas Indonesia)
