Indonesian language, Malay, other foreign language influences and regional languages in
Indonesia. Some important topics/issues covered are the use of language in: the rise of
nationalism and struggle for independence, the discourse of the former New Order state,
the often contradictory local-national, class, gender and ethnic interests, and the social
context of the performing arts and literature in Indonesia.
