The present article departs from the inherent problems of grasping the voice ofthe subaltern other in a colonial context. While postcolonial theoreticians haveoccasionally spoken pessimistically about the possibilities of reconstructing theagency of dominated categories of non-Westerners, recent research on earlySoutheast Asia has on the contrary envisaged new lines of inquiry throughan ingenious use of the extant sources, preferably through interdisciplinarycommunication. But can we use the colonial archive in order to highlight socialhistory in non-literate societies such as those of eastern Indonesia where thecolonial texts do not resonate with the indigenous ones? This article scrutinizesmaterials from the VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) post in Kupang(1653-1800) in order to find data usable for such a history. It is argued thatletters, reports, legal minutes, diaries, etcetera. have a good potential due to theregularity and minute detail of the record. |
