Abstract: Photography and the Making of a Popular, Colonial MonarchyThe Netherlands East Indies during Queen Wilhelmina’s Reign(1898-1948)Public celebrations in the Dutch East Indies (colonial Indonesia) for the House of Orange during Queen Wilhelmina’s reign were of an historically unprecedented scale and frequency, regularly attended by large crowds and reported in newspapers. Scholars typically emphasize the leading role of colonial elites in orchestrating these festivals, and the symbolic importance of the monarchy as a conservative institution that bound the colony to the metropole. The agency of spectators and non-elite participants, and the extent to which a popular ‘oranjegevoel’ (Orange-sentiment) can be said to have existed in the colonies, remains to be demonstrated. This article uses a range of popular photographic sources – amateur photographs in personal albums, and published photographs of the Dutch monarchy in private collections as well as commemorative books – to examine the meanings that ordinary people in the Indies derived from engaging with the House of Orange through images. Susie Protschky argues that, for many Indies residents, photographs of royal celebrations and the Dutch monarchy enabled the cultivation of transnational networks and cosmopolitan identities, and integrated international events into colonial and family histories.Fotografie en de wording van een koloniale ‘volksmonarchie’. Nederlands-Indië ten tijde van koningin Wilhelmina (1898-1948) Openbare Oranjefeesten in Nederlands-Indië waren tijdens de regering van koningin Wilhelmina van een historisch ongekende omvang en frequentie. De feesten werden regelmatig bijgewoond door een groot publiek en er werd over geschreven in de kranten. Historici benadrukken meestal de leidende rol van de koloniale elite tijdens de organisatie van deze vieringen of de symbolische betekenis van de monarchie als een conservatieve instelling die de banden tussen kolonie en het moederland versterkt. De rol van toeschouwers, deelnemers aan deze feesten die niet uit de elite afkomstig waren, en de mate waarin een ‘oranjegevoel’ in de koloniën bestond, zijn vooralsnog onderbelicht gebleven. In dit artikel worden erse populaire fotografische bronnen – amateurfoto’s uit privéalbums en gepubliceerde foto’s van de Nederlandse monarchie in privécollecties en gedenkboeken – gebruikt om te onderzoeken welke betekenis gewone mensen in Nederlands-Indië aan de monarchie ontleenden. Susie Protschky beargumenteert dat voor veel bewoners van Nederlands-Indië de foto’s van de Oranjefeesten en de Nederlandse monarchie de ontwikkeling van transnationale netwerken en kosmopolitische identiteiten bevorderden, en dat zij internationale gebeurtenissen integreerden in koloniale- en familiegeschiedenissen.

Abstract: There is but a limited scholarship on photographic sources from the Dutch military actions during the Revolusi Nasional Indonesia (Indonesian National Revolution) (1945–1949), and what exists almost entirely neglects perhaps the largest component of the archives: Dutch soldiers’ amateur photographs. Yet this category of photographs has simultaneously attracted much public and media controversy. This article contends that a narrow range of soldiers’ amateur photographs have thus far borne an anomalously weighty burden of proof to substantiate the nature and limits of extreme violence during the National Revolution, one that is brittle and difficult to sustain unless historians begin to broaden the focus of investigations into photographic archives. This article also investigates what it may mean for present-day Indonesians to see their ancestors as perpetrators as well as victims of violence and, importantly, as occupants of the ambiguous categories between both ends of this spectrum. What are the ethics of looking at and reproducing these photographs, and to whom do they belong?

Abstract: Recent trends in Indonesian history suggest a fruitful point at which two major fields of research might begin to converge: one is the growing body of literature on environmental history, the other is the abundant scholarship on social history and identity in colonial contexts. Studies of indigenous and colonial land-use patterns, conservation policies and practices, and Asian attitudes toward landscape and nature are some of the recent scholarly sojourns into Indonesia’s colonial past.
