The Social Banditry in the Rural Areas of Rembang by the End of the 19th Century and at the Beginning of the 20th Century

The social banditry is the act of crime committed by the residents of a village or the people in the low economic and social stratum in order to fulfill their basic needs. Such an act is done due to the structural pressure which depresses the people in accessing the natural resources that support their lives. This structural pressure kept increasing in the rural areas of Rembang by the end of the 19th century, particularly after the issuance of the law on forestry in 1865 that enabled the forestry capitalism to be established. The limitation in the people’s access to the state forest as the manifestation of the domain concept and the exploitation of the teak forests done by the private businessmen became the trigger to the increasing acts of crime in the rural areas of Rembang. The scarcity of the local economic resources due to such natural factors as barren land and structural factors as the result of the penetration of the external power became the main trigger to the social banditry to take place in Rembang. There were many kinds of social banditry, such as illegal logging, robbery, “kecu” (burglary), theft of possessions, etc. which were done against the assets owned by both the state and the individuals/groups. KEY WORDS: Social banditry, forest village, Rembang area, economic resources, and colonial exploitation

Tantangan Penulisan Sejarah Lokal

Abstrak: Sejarah lokal selalu menarik diperbincangan karena dua hal. Pertama, batasan “lokal” cukup problematis karena selalu mengalami perubahan cakupan dan maknanya. Istilah lokal seringkali dihadapkan atau dipertentangkan dengan supra-lokal (regional, nasional, global). Makna lokalpun tidak statis dan tunggal tetapi selalu berubah sesuai konteks zaman. Oleh karena itu, penulisan sejarah lokal, seperti penulisan unit sejarah lainnya, dihadapkan bukan hanya persoalan kepastian historis yang menuntut tersedianya sumber yang lengkap dan valid, tetapi juga persoalan penjelasan sejarah yang menuntut pendekatan multidimensional dengan kerangka teoritik dan metodologi yang relevan. Di luar persoalan kepastian dan pemaknaan historis, penulisan sejarah lokal juga dihadapkan pada unsur kewajaran sejarah (fairness) yang bersifat non-akademik. Berbagai kepentingan, orientasi filosofis, prasangka ideologis, seringkali menyelinap dengan sengaja ke dalam proses penulisan sejarah lokal. Dengan mengesampingkan persoalan yang disebutkan terakhir ini, penulisan sejarah lokal ke depan harus tetap bertumpu pada prinsip-prinsip teori dan metodologi sejarah kritis agar dapat memberi kontribusi positif bagi pengembangan penulisan sejarah nasional yang bercorak indonesiasentrisme.Kata Kunci: sejarah, lokal, nasionalAbstract: local history is attracting to be discussed because of two reasons. Firstly, the limitation of local creates some problems. This is caused by the change of scope and meaning. The term of local is also faced with the antonym term of regional, national, or global. The meaning of local is flexible but changes based on the spirit of age. Therefore, the writing of local history faces not only the scarcity of historical sources but also the need of multidimentional approach and relevant theoretical framework and methodology. In addition, the matter of historical fairness contributes to the complexity of historical study. Some interests, philosophical orientation, and ideological prejudice are often to shape the local historiography. Local history writing should be directed into the base of theoretical principles and methodology in order to give positive contribution for develping the writing of national history based on Indonesiacentrism perspective.Keywords: history, local, nationalDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um020v11i12017p12
