Towards the Comparative Study of Domestic Influence Operations
Connective spaces of radical hope
Control-Alt-Shift Action
For today's student and youth activists in Indonesia, the use of social media as a tool of protest and mobilization seems to be a natural expression of their technologies of the self as the "digital generation." It allowed them to create new forms of protest that blend repertoires of digital and popular cultures, and to mobilize simultaneously online and on the streets on a peer-to-peer basis, as seen in the nation-wide protest movements against …
The Infrastructure of Domestic Influence Operations
Coordinated influence campaigns on social media have become an increasingly important tool for political and economic elites to sway public opinion in their favor. As the study of this phenomenon has so far largely focused on traces of such campaigns on social media itself, we know relatively little about the people and networks implementing them. Furthermore, existing literature offers limited analytical handles to delineate and analyze differen…
Indonesia’s Covid-19 Infodemic
Besides being one of the countries most severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia also experienced a severe “infodemic”: an overabundance of contradictory information—including misinformation and disinformation—on COVID-19. This infodemic hampered pandemic mitigation efforts, resulting in non-compliance with public health measures and delays to the national vaccination programme in the first six months of the pandemic due to widesprea…
Rhizome vs Regime
In Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar, democratic regression and the reconsolidation of authoritarian regimes have triggered the rise of social media-driven protest movements. These are pioneered by a new generation of activist youth, distinguishing themselves from previous student and youth movements by the digitally mediated, decentralized and diverse nature of their protest. While experimenting with digitally mediated repertoires of action adopte…
Cyber Troops, Online Manipulation of Public Opinion and Co-optation of Indonesia’s Cybersphere
Organized propaganda and public opinion manipulation are increasing in Indonesia’s cybersphere. Specifically, since 2019, there has been a marked rise of cyber troop campaigns that serve to mobilize public consensus for controversial government policies. Cyber troop operations played a crucial role in three controversial events in which public opinion had been initially critical of the government policy at issue. These were, first, the revision o…
Keywords and key words in AE
The keywords and titles of articles published in American Ethnologist from 2016 to 2019 show a striking intersection of anthropological scholarship and world-event trends. Tables and word clouds generated from recurring words expose the centrality of critical events, which appears to support recent contentions about a "crisis-chasing" mode in anthropology today. But it conceals the multivocality of authors' engagement with current events, while t…
In Search of Young Citizens
Activist Archives
Activist Archives: Youth Culture and Political Past in Indonesia. By Doreen Lee. Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2016. Softcover: 278pp. Almost two decades after fall of Suharto regime in May 1998, we still know very little about movement that was driving force behind Indonesia's turn to democracy. In post-Suharto era, movement lost limelight to other actors better equipped for game of politics, and thus moved ever deeper into realm of …
This is Not a Trivialization of the Past
This article examines the revitalization of Jakarta’s colonial district, Kota Tua, as tourist site and lieux de mémoire. After long neglect due to postcolonial silencing of colonial history, Kota Tua’s metamorphosis into a place of leisure represents a burgeoning tempo doeloe trend in post-New Order Indonesia. Yet Kota Tua is also a locus of clashing modalities of memory. While government tourism promotions produce a consumable spectacle of colon…
