Émigré writers such as Kahlil Gibran and Mikhail Naimy proved that it is possible to transcend their historical limitations to become leading literary figures. An examination of the historical context of these writers is important for a rich understanding of their works. The themes addressed in such literary works are better appreciated within their cultural environment, and not as objects detached from their times, author and readers[1]. It can be rightfully argued that such works cannot be fully appreciated without delving into the intricacies of the political ideologies and economic crises of previous centuries. This article does not aim to perform such an undertaking, regardless of its literary merit; however, it presents an overview of the historical context surrounding the Émigré literary movement as a product of two cultures bridged by immigration at the turn of the 20th century. This is based on the belief that a profound critical engagement with Émigré works is better achieved with an examination of their historical and literary background. Thus, this article serves as a foundation for profound literary analyses of Émigré works.

Eksaminasi terhadap konteks historis pada kedua penulis tersebut sangat penting untuk memperkaya pengetahuan atas karya-karya mereka. Karya-karya tersebut, dalam hal ini adalah karya sastra, akan lebih menarik apabila dilihat dari lingkungan budaya mereka dan bukan sebagai objek yang terpisah dari masa nya, penulis, dan pembaca[1]. Dapat dikatakan bahwa karya-karya seperti itu tidak dapat sepenuhnya dihargai tanpa menggali seluk-beluk ideologi politik dan krisis ekonomi yang terjadi abad-abad sebelumnya. Akan tetapi, artikel ini bukan mengulas ideologi politik dan ekonomi, namun, mengkaji ikhtisar dari konteks historis yang melingkupi gerakan sastra kaum imigran sebagai hasil dari produk dua kebudayaan yang dijembatani oleh imigrasi pada abad transisi yakni abad ke-20. Hal Ini didasarkan pada keyakinan bahwa keterlibatan kritis yang mendalam dengan karya kaum imigran akan lebih baik bila mengkaji latar belakang sejarah dan sastra mereka. Dengan demikian, artikel ini mencoba menjadi dasar dalam analisis sastra yang mendalam dari karya kaum imigran. [1] Payne, 2005 : 3-4, on the importance of a historical context.
This paper aims at promoting prospective Intellectual Property (IP) securitization as a feasible mode of financing creative industries demanding instant capital to operate, develop products and promote market expansion. The proposed approach is dedicated to accelerate new financial sources of support to strengthen and develop creativity and productivity in the creative industries. The current paper introduces a new legal institution which is not regulated yet under Indonesia's positive laws. It shows how creative companies might use the institution to gain direct and indirect benefits. It is acknowledged that this proposal may spark challenges at the doctrinal, normative and practical levels. At the doctrinal level, the potential for challenge refers to the philosophical issue related to exclusive rights doctrine. At the normative level, the challenges are caused by the absence of regulation concerning IP securitization in Indonesia influencing the validity and viability of IP securitization transactions. At the practical level, this proposal may not guarantee the certainty of IP valuation as a unique asset involving complex procedures, interdisciplinary laws, profesionals and so forth. In order to overcome the doctrinal challenge, this paper offers relevant principles which may function to balance the acceleration of IP securitization as a new financing mechanism for creativity and prevent unrestricted exploitation of IP exclusive rights. For addressing any normative and practical challenges, this work promotes the need for government involvement in developing and promoting IP securitization by providing economic and legal frameworks, started by enactment of IP securitization regulation and the establishment of infrastructures for IP securitization
