Faith on Trial
This article develops the argument that blasphemy trials occupy a pivotal role in 'religion-making' in post-1998 Indonesia. Examining a blasphemy trial on the island of Lombok in 2010, I argue that the process of democratisation has given civilian actors more opportunity to engage Indonesia's blasphemy law, a process analysed in terms of 'lawfare'. Examining the interplay of legal regulation and the campaign against 'deviant' religion launched by…

Ritual Power
This article shows how rituals occupy a key role in the negotiation of inter-religious relations on the island of Lombok. Building on the argument set out in Howe’s 2000 article on ‘Risk, Ritual and Performance’ in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute that the anthropology of ritual has much to gain by focusing on risk, this article takes the rhetorical evocation of risk as a focus of inquiry, thereby refining understandings of how …

This article examines the informal authority wielded by civilian security groups (pamswakarsa) on the island of Lombok.

Outlining how the campaign against the temple gained …

Spirited Places and Ritual Dynamics among Sasak Muslims on Lombok
This article concerns the ‘living’ landscape inhabited by Sasak Muslims on the Indonesian island of Lombok, viewed in the context of reformist efforts to ‘purify’ local Islamic ritual practice. Drawing on the author's fieldwork in Central Lombok, the article centres on a dramatic episode that occurred in 1997 when a lightning strike caused a large tree to collapse over the graves in the village cemetery. I argue that the ways in which people ‘rea…
Entangled Biographies
The concept of 'compatibility' has a particular saliencein many Indonesian societies. This article examines 'compatibility' with reference to person-house relationships on the island of Lombok. Examining a case where the house and its inhabitants had become incompatible, the article follows one Sasak woman's efforts to rebuild her house and to achieve compatibility. Stressing the unpredictable and recalcitrant quality of material things, the arti…
