A Conditional Welcome
This article examines how early Dutch public television in the post-World War II era mediated the repatriation of Indo-Dutch and Moluccan migrants, bringing together the intertwined histories of media and migration as television emerged as a central cultural institution.

With a focus on popular culture in Indonesia – a country that houses the world’s la…

This shift can be observed in the remarkable transformations that urban spaces of Indonesian cities undergo during Ramadan. Drawing on fieldwork data, thereby particularly focusing on the space of the mall, this article analyses how space is produced and transformed during Ramadan. The article shows how Is…
