Ancestors and Tiger From Elsewhere
How are the moral relations between communities and the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) being reconfigured as forests fragment and land-use change accelerates across Sumatra's conservation landscape? This article addresses that question ethnographically, drawing on forty semi-structured interviews conducted in Agam and Pasaman Regencies (West Sumatra) between April and June 2026 and interviews with Yayasan SINTAS Indonesia. The article …
Supernatural beliefs encode knowledge about malaria but inhibit uptake of biomedical interventions among Siberut Mentawai
To what extent do supernatural beliefs encode medical and ecological knowledge? Here, we investigate the similarity between biomedical understandings of malaria and the spirit illness kisei (contact with spirits) through interviews with Mentawai individuals in southern Siberut, Indonesia ( n = 90). We find that kisei is the most culturally salient explanation for general fever and, contrary to some other mystically caused illnesses (e.g., moralis…

In 2018, vaccine hesitancy marked the nationwide measles-rubella vaccination campaign in the Indonesian province of Aceh. The hesitancy, which was supported by the provincial government, stemmed from concerns over porcine contamination in the vaccine product. "Tidak cocok" (incompatible) became a pervasive statement used to rationalize the refusal to participate in the vaccination program, permeated personal narratives, public responses to a vacc…
Biofinancing Citizenship
This paper examines the fund-collecting model of Indonesia's national health insurance system, Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN), performed by its organizing body, Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS). The system is based on the home-grown idea of gotong royong, often vaguely defined as 'mutual assistance.' As gotong royong has been prominent in Indonesia's nation building projects since before independence, scholars have argued that the term…
A critical comparative ethnographic study of courtesy stigma in two leprosy-impacted communities in Indonesia
Leprosy stigma is more neglected than the disease itself since global interventions towards leprosy are focused on the medicalisation of individual-sufferers and statistical counting of documented cases and less prioritising the impact of leprosy stigma towards society. This paper examines the impact of courtesy stigma on society through comparative ethnographic method conducted in two sites in East Java Province, Indonesia. Investigation in the …
