The (Im-)possibilities of Public Atheism in Malaysia
Religion, especially Islam, plays a crucial role in Malaysia’s post-plural society and ethnic Malay identity. Atheism, as a conviction that challenges religious beliefs, is therefore highly controversial in Malaysia: it not only conflicts with the Rukun Negara (national principles) state ideology, which holds the belief in God as its first principle, but also challenges the notion of ethnic Malay identity, which is framed as Islamic and occupies …

Seeing Through the Lens of Atheism
The notion of plural societies has often been used to refer to a common feature of many Southeast Asian societies, namely their fragmented diversity under a single political unit. Despite the criticism this concept has received, we argue that it is still relevant for many Southeast Asian societies today. Through nation-building processes, the plural societies from the late colonial era have dialectically been sublated. What ensures social cohesio…
Plural Ecologies in Southeast Asia
Indonesia’s current president Joko Widodo wants to develop Indonesia from its margins, with mixed results so far. One target area for capitalist investment are the Aru Islands in Maluku Province, Eastern Indonesia. Such investment plans rarely cater for cultural needs or analyse their social compatibility. Governments, investors and local population groups invoke diverging ecologies. Government and investor argue that nature must be adapted to th…
Animism and Indigenous Movements in Indonesia
In the 1990s environmental activists in Indonesia began to organize rural communities under the banner of indigeneity. Indigenous activists engaged in debates on what makes people indigenous and their autochthon cosmologies and beliefs (in Indonesia referred to using the umbrella term kepercayaan) occasionally played a role in these debates. This contribution analyzes the role animism plays for indigenous activism in Indonesia. It investigates cu…
The Dialectics of Adat
In the wake of weakening leftist identities, indigeneity has become a promising political identity for economically marginalised people in rural areas worldwide. This is especially true for Indonesia with its anti-communist state ideology, but the roots of the Indonesian concept of indigeneity reach back at least into the late colonial era. The Dutch shaped the modern ideology of indigeneity in Indonesia through their conceptualisation of adat (c…
Plural Ecologies of Tigers in Indonesian Literature
This article explores the changing ecologies in Indonesian literature by drawing on the examples of tigers in two influential novels, namely Mochtar Lubis’ Harimau! Harimau! (1975) and Eka Kurniawan’s Lelaki harimau (2004). Using the concept of ‘plural ecologies’ from anthropological research in Southeast Asia, an ecology is understood as a set of relations between humans and non-humans, and it is argued that Mochtar Lubis’ novel depicts a settin…

This article outlines political symbolism and language in the 2019 election in Indonesia and aims to situate fake news narratives within them. By analysing official election campaign posters (spand
Paradoxes of indigeneity
Contributing to recent debates on indigeneity, this article investigates contradictions of indigeneity, especially the “indigenous paradox,” that is, the formation of indigeneity through claiming sovereignty and autonomy from the state by acknowledging the very state and its laws as the framework for those claims, in the context of Indonesia. After analyzing how indigeneity came into existence in the Indonesian context, this article sheds light o…
Challenging Hegemony

Drawing on Gramsci's concept o…

Indigeneity and the State in Indonesia
When the indigenous peoples’ movement emerged in the 1990s and grew stronger in the wake of reformasi, people formally termed “backward” and “primitive” suddenly emerged as political actors. This article traces the relationship between the state and the idea of the original, sometimes referred to as the autochthonous, sometimes as the indigenous, in Indonesian history and analyses how these relationships are reflected in legislation on land issue…
Kuntilanak
Kuntilanak is an icon of pop culture well known in several nations in Southeast Asia. While the female vampire is the subject of horror films and novels, people in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, claim that the city was founded by evicting Kuntilanak, who inhabited the confluence of the Kapuas and Landak rivers before the city was built. This article examines narratives on Kuntilanak, comparing it with other spirit perceptions found among Dayak in We…
Being Atheist in the Religious Harmony State of Indonesia
This article analyses the political situation of non-believers in Indonesia, a state based on the belief in one almighty God or a divine entity (Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa) as depicted in the national ideology of Pancasila. Applying an ethnographic view, the contribution suggests that atheists are, on the one hand, outside of politics, since political culture in Indonesia requires references to religion, which are used to construct the narrative of …
Atheism in Indonesia
The phenomenon of atheism has often been neglected in academic research on Indonesia, a Muslim majority country in which every citizen is supposed to have a religious affiliation. In addressing that oversight, this article first outlines the state-driven discourses and practices in Indonesia concerning atheism before exploring the alterative discourses and social practices found within Indonesian atheist communities. Based on a long-term engageme…
