- Abstract
Talking about historical events in Pacitan will always mention Sudirman, the commander of the national army who was based there during the second Dutch military aggression. To this day, Sudirman still exists in monuments built in various places, such as the General Sudirman Monument and the Palagan Tumpak Rinjing Monument in Pacitan. These two monuments were built long after Sudirman died in 1950. Therefore, this research aims to examine the things behind the construction of these two monuments. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through observation, interview, and literature studies. As a result, it was found that the General Sudirman Monument in Nawangan District was inaugurated at the end of 2008, one year before Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as an incumbent took a part once more in 2009 Election. On the other hand, the Palagan Tumpak Rinjing Monument which was built in 1980 in Pringkuku District did not even have a direct connection with Sudirman. In the end, the construction of monuments with figures displayed in a single dimension, such as Sudirman as a war hero, is often carried out as a political move by the authorities.
