Abstract

This contribution investigates the discursive occurrence of key terms of the Indonesian debates about “modernization”, “cultural transformation”, and “pembaruan” (renewal). The sample consists of the book titles documented in Worldcat.org, from 1945 through 2020. This sample is gathered through various searches and then manually looked through one by one in order to omit duplicates. Selected titles are then further analyzed in a qualitative approach. The evidence generated by this method shows a close temporal link with the so-called “New Order” governments since 1966. This article can therefore serve to further analyze individual elements of New Order discourses on modernization discourse and modernization theory.
