    Indonesian image of the ottoman caliphate and the new republic of Türkiye 1918–1925
    (Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta, 2024) Mehmet Özay; Nia Deliana
    This article is a preliminary study on Indonesians’ perceptions on the decline of the Ottoman Caliphate, and the rise of the Turkish Republic based on the highlights in vernacular press printed in Java and Sumatra. By scrutinizing textual discourse on the Caliphate and the Turkish Republic, this paper examined Indonesians’ views delivered in newspapers, such as Poestaka Hizboel Wathan, Medan Prijaji, Soeara Islam, Zaman Baroe, and Bintang Islam. These newspapers informed on the consecutive political changes, including a total ‘weltanschauung’ during the ruling era of Mustafa Kemal, which drew the significant attention of Indonesian readers, contradictory responses on the complexities of the developments among the intellectuals. Through qualitative methodology and content analysis, this paper gives additional contribution to the study of historical relations between Indonesia and Türkiye.

    Stereotyping the turks : images from dutch colonial newspapers in Indonesia
    (Türk Tarih Kurumu, 2024-07-30) Nia Deliana
    There are abundant studies on Turkish Historical influences in the world, from Europe to Asia, India, and Southeast Asia. But there are insufficient scholarly narratives consulted from the existing available 19 th century colonial newspaper sources that dealt with the colonial works on reshaping the character of the Rum-Turk and the Ottoman that had in previous centuries, preserved in extensively pleasant and inspirational images among the societies in the Netherlands East Indies. Before the colonial period, numerous scholars agree that the influence of the Ottoman occurred in early days where the Portuguese set foot in Malacca Straits. The Ottoman relation with Aceh and the continuous correspondences contributed to the view of societies in the Netherlands East Indies to present fond impression on the Ottoman that the victory and naval force of the Ottoman were penned down in numerous local letters and manuscripts across the Islands and Peninsula as an inspirational depiction. As mass printing had become the most effective measure in producing new type of knowledge, especially on describing images of racial class and defaming the colonial economic and political non-native rivals, the colonial propaganda and descriptions were printed repetitively over the centuries. As the result, the constructed images of the Turks were politicized for the colonial gain. This paper examines the role of Dutch colonial newspapers in shaping images of the Turks, the Ottoman, and the caliphate among its colonized societies. It investigates dissemination of colonial pseudo-scientific knowledge and the transformation of views on the Turks resulted from it. Through utilizing Dutch colonial newspapers between 1840s-1945, this paper provides additional narratives on colonial knowledge production discourse on Indonesian trans-boundary relations under colonial era.

    The mandala, agency and norms in Indonesia-India global affairs
    (E-International Relations, 2024-07-16) Nia Deliana
    The notion of the Mandala can be traced back to a Tamil inscription that describes a settlement and commercial system of a South Indian communal compound before the Chola’s raid in 1025 CE. The records note a commercial system in Lobu Tua of Southern Aceh dated in 1088 CE (McKinnon 1994). Mercantile exchanges between the two regions continued despite political turbulence resulting from domestic or global affairs. Many scholars believe that the Mandala of the Indian Ocean was the most substantial factor that engineered this international relationship. Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means a circle of space and time that connect through a circulation of being, according to Bose (2006). Through the shared Muslim cultures across the Indian Ocean (Pradines and Topan, 2023), The Mandala’s international norms ruled not only the entanglement on networks, ports, commodities, and agencies that characterized the systemic order of sovereignty, rivalry, and alliances with the great powers but also the fluid political ecosystem of the Ocean. It guided mobility, interactions, and a sense of belonging to the native-becoming South Indians, Arabs, Chinese, Jews, and Europeans.
