From the 1990s to the present, newspapers in Indonesia, notably Sunday editions, have regularly featured articles appreciative of Indonesia’s colonial built heritage. Often the work of relatively young reporters, the articles either praised the aesthetics and historical relevance of the buildings and townscapes or highlighted the threats facing them. To most non-Indonesians, notably Europeans and Americans, the relaxed and positive attitude towards these tactile and often prominent reminders of Indonesia’s colonial past is quite a novelty. The sight of Indonesians in mock-colonial outfits exploring this heritage on vintage Dutch bikes provokes sheer astonishment.By describing the changing appreciation of Indonesia’s colonial built heritage and the agents that drove this development, this article analyses how Indonesia and the Netherlands gradually appropriated the built heritage of their colonial past. |

M. Indonésie Asie du Sud-Est Europe Asie Pays-Bas Asie de l’Est patrimoine colonial appropriation colonial heritage appropriation Kolonialerbe Aneignung patrimonio coloniale appropriazione patrimonio colonial apropiación From the 1990s to the present, newspapers in Indonesia, notably Sunday editions, have regularly featured articles appreciative of Indonesia’s colonial built heritage. Often the work of relatively young reporters, the articles either praised the aesthetics and historical relevance of the buildings and townscapes or highlighted the threats facing them. To most non-Indonesians, notably Europeans and Americans, the relaxed and positive attitude towards these tactile and often prominent reminders of Indonesia’s colonial past is quite a novelty. The sight of Indonesians in mock-colonial outfits exploring this heritage on vintage Dutch bikes provokes sheer astonishment.By describing the changing appreciation of Indonesia’s colonial built heritage and the agents that drove this development, this article analyses how Indonesia and the Netherlands gradually appropriated the built heritage of their colonial past. Seit den 1990er Jahren bringen Zeitungen in Indonesien, vor allem die Sonntagsausgaben, regelmäßig Artikel, die das koloniale Architekturerbe Indonesiens lobend hervorheben. Oft stammen diese Artikel aus der Feder relativ junger Journalisten und schwärmen entweder von der ästhetischen und historischen Bedeutung der Bauten und Stadtlandschaften oder betonen ihre Gefährdung. Für die meisten Nicht-Indonesier und insbesondere für Europäer und Amerikaner ist die entspannte und positive Einstellung gegenüber dieser konkreten und oft sehr prominenten Erinnerungen an die koloniale Vergangenheit Indonesiens recht überraschend. Der Anblick von Indonesiern in Pseudo-Kolonialtracht, die auf antiken Hollandrädern dieses Kulturerbe erkunden, ruft schieres Erstaunen hervor. Indem er die Änderungen in der Bewertung des architektonischen Kolonialerbes Indonesiens und der Akteure dieser Entwicklung aufzeigt, untersucht dieser Artikel, wie Indonesien und die Niederlande sich nach und nach das gebaute Erbe ihrer (gemeinsamen) kolonialen Vergangenheit angeeignet haben. Desde la década de los 90 hasta la actualidad, los periódicos indonesios, y en especial las ediciones dominicales, incluyen regularmente artículos que valoran el patrimonio arquitectónico colonial del país. Con frecuencia se trata de artículos redactados por periodistas jóvenes que destacan la importancia estética e histórica de los edificios y los entornos urbanos, o las amenazas que los acechan. Para la mayoría de los extranjeros, en especial europeos y norteamericanos, esta actitud relajada y positiva hacia estos recordatorios palpables y a menudo destacados del pasado colonial indonesio es toda una novedad. La visión de los indonesios enfundados en sus prendas “de corte colonial” explorando este patrimonio montados en bicicletas clásicas holandesas les sorprende siempre.Este artículo describe la apreciación cambiante del patrimonio arquitectónico colonial indonesio y los agentes que impulsaron este movimiento, y analiza cómo Indonesia y los Países Bajos se fueron apropiando gradualmente del patrimonio arquitectónico de su pasado colonial. Depuis les années 1990, les journaux indonésiens, notamment les éditions du dimanche, publient régulièrement des articles en faveur du patrimoine bâti colonial de l’Indonésie. Rédigés majoritairement par de jeunes journalistes, les articles louent l’esthétique et la signification historique des bâtiments et paysages urbains ou bien soulignent les menaces auxquelles ils seraient exposé. Pour la plupart des non-Indonésiens, et notamment pour les Européens et les Américains, cette attitude détendue et positive vis-à-vis de souvenirs concrets et souvent marquants du passé colonial de l’Indonésie est surprenante. Voir des Indonésiens en fausse tenue coloniale visitant ce patrimoine sur un vélo hollandais provoque la stupéfaction. À travers la description du changement dans l’appréciation du patrimoine colonial bâti de l’Indonésie et des acteurs à l’origine de cette évolution, cet article analyse la façon dont l’Indonésie et les Pays-Bas se sont progressivement appropriés le patrimoine bâti de leur passé colonial commun. Dalla fine del Novecento ad oggi i giornali indonesiani, in particolare le edizioni domenicali, hanno pubblicato regolarmente articoli d’elogio sul patrimonio edilizio coloniale indonesiano. Gli articoli, per lo più opera di giovani reporter, celebrano talvolta l’estetica e l’importanza storica degli edifici e dei paesaggi urbani, talvolta mettono l’accento sulle minacce che gravano su di essi. Agli occhi del resto del mondo, in particolare di europei e americani, l’attitudine rilassata e positiva nei confronti di queste tangibili e spesso imponenti rievocazioni del passato coloniale indonesiano è una vera novità. La vista degli indonesiani in abito pseudocoloniale che esplorano questo patrimonio culturale su biciclette olandesi d’epoca provoca un grande stupore. Il presente articolo descrive la mutevole valutazione del patrimonio architettonico indonesiano e le cause che hanno portato a questa situazione, ed esamina quindi il modo in cui l’Indonesia e i Paesi Bassi si sono gradualmente appropriati del patrimonio architettonico del loro passato coloniale. |
