Setting the stage
This article examines a significant discrepancy between Clifford Geertz's published account of his fieldwork experience in Bali and his original fieldnotes. The analysis focuses on the famous opening scene of ‘Deep play: Notes on the Balinese cockfight’, where Geertz describes fleeing from a police raid with villagers – an incident he portrays as transforming him from an ignored outsider into an accepted insider. By comparing previously unavailab…

Popular Music in Southeast Asia
'Popular Music in Southeast Asia: Banal Beats, Muted Histories' offers a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the original vantage point of popular music since the 1920s up to the present. By creatively connecting indigenous musical styles with foreign musical genres, Southeast Asians created hybrid musical genres that attracted a mass audience. This vibrant music was intrinsically wound up with modern life and the societal changes that…

Elise van Nederveen Meerkerk, Women, Work and Colonialism in the Netherlands and Java
Recent studies about colonialism tend to focus on processes of knowledge production, racism, identity formation, and violence.These themes are to a large extent informed and defined by anxieties which emerged in postcolonial metropoles.At the same time, they are only loosely connected with debates in former colonies.This book brings us back to the basics of colonialism: economic exploitation.Women
China and the Barbarians
"Since times immemorial China regarded its culture, philosophy and statecraft as superior to all other nations, hence the saying Hua Yi Zhi Bian ( ....)- China and the barbarians are different. In the so-called ‘Age of Humiliation’ (1839-1949), Western and Japanese imperialists reduced the old empire to a semi-colony. China has now regained its economic and military strength, but what drives its domestic and foreign policy? President Xi Jinping h…

Popular Music in Southeast Asia
From the 1920s on, popular music in Southeast Asia was a mass-audience phenomenon that drew new connections between indigenous musical styles and contemporary genres from elsewhere to create new, hybrid forms. This book presents a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the vantage point of popular music, considering not just singers and musicians but their fans as well, showing how the music was intrinsically bound up with modern life and…

Urban Middle Classes in Colonial Java (1900-1942)
This study investigates Java’s urban middle classes and their importance in the formation of ‘modern’ lifestyles in Indonesia. They formed the backbone of both the Dutch colonial project and the resultant Indonesian nation-state. By foregrounding lifestyle as the defining factor of middle-class identity, we demonstrate how language and images provide a methodological framework to reconstruct this group’s ambitions and aspirations. Their language,…

Shining Futures, Imminent Dangers
After a brief period of optimism that accompanied the emergence of new nation-states, Southeast Asian politics experienced the impact of the Cold War which turned the region into a hotbed of mass violence. An estimated number of seven million people lost their lives, while fragile democracies were replaced by authoritarian regimes, postponing further democratization to the end of the 20th century

Colonial Re-Collections
Colonial Re-Collections is a critical response to a range of theoretical and empirical problems that shape individuals' multifaceted engagements with colonial pasts.Among these engagements there is a remarkable fascination with the colonial, visibly present since at least the 1990s, both in formerly colonized and formerly colonizing societies.Scholars have defined this fascination as nostalgia that is 'colonial' (Werbner 1998;Bissell 2005), 'impe…
Representation and beyond; Female victims in Post-Suharto media
This study analyses representations of female victims in post-Suharto media. In so doing, it underlines the import of the fall of the New Order regime and the concurrent opening up of the media world in Indonesia. The study is based on notably influential issues that emerged among media producers, feminist activists, social scientists, policy makers, and general audiences during the period of study (1998-2004). Based on observations made in women…
Modernity and cultural citizenship in the Netherlands Indies
Conventional historiography presumes a linear development from urbanisation, the rise of indigenous middle classes and the spread of modernity towards nationalism as the logical outcome of this process. This article aims to disconnect modernity from nationalism by focusing on the role of cultural citizens in the late colonial period for whom modernity was a desirable lifestyle. The extent to which their desires and the interests of the colonial r…
Indonesia in the 1950s
This essay explores discussions in the 1950s about Indonesian national identity, which were primarily framed in cultural terms. The early years of this decade witnessed optimistic efforts to shape a new nation driven by modernity. Gradually these efforts were aborted by the encroachment of the state. In this respect questions are raised concerning the post-colonial nature of the Indonesian middle class which inhabited this state

Localizing Modernity in Colonial Bali During the 1930s
Through an examination of an essay written by a Balinese intellectual in the 1930s, this article explores how notions of modernity and nationalism can take root in particular localities. The essay makes a case for modernization and nationalism in Bali, and points to the existing caste system, which it identifies as largely a colonial creation, as an obstacle to progress that should be eliminated

Renegotiating boundaries
For decades almost the only social scientists who visited Indonesia’s provinces were anthropologists. Anybody interested in politics or economics spent most of their time in Jakarta, where the action was. Our view of the world’s fourth largest country threatened to become simplistic, lacking that essential graininess. Then, in 1998, Indonesia was plunged into a crisis that could not be understood with simplistic tools. After 32 years of enforced …

Linking Destinies
Trade flows, cities and kinship relations can all be seen as elements of complex networks. In this collection of essays, all of which deal with Asia, we argue that there are good reasons to envisage them as various dimensions of the same networks. Nevertheless, it is fairly rare to find trade, cities and kinship relations as intimately linked as we have portrayed them in this volume, because they are usually classified within different sub-discip…
