Auteur :
MACDONALD, G.M.

Description :
The paper examines the manipulation of symbols within the Independence Square in central Jakarta as a means of understanding the task of creating a particular national unity in post-colonial Indonesia. This reading is contingent upon the possibility of multiple, contradictory, and contending readings each of which forms a necessary element in the nationalist ideology.
