IN MEMORIAM HR BANDAHARO

摘要

This article focuses on commemorative poems written by Indonesian exile authors. The selected poems honour the writer HR (Banda Harahap) Bandahoro, who was affiliated with the Indonesian political left, imprisoned under the presidency of Suharto and died in 1993. Aiming to show how the author's contemporaries and later generations of exile writers perceive the work and life of the poet, I aim to demonstrate that some of these poems are not merely eulogies, as it is commonly assumed for such occasional poetry, but rather that they offer valuable insights into the intellectual dynamics among exiled Indonesian writers.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13639811.2011.575618
