This article provides an overview of changes in the Indonesian labour market since the last decades, with a focus on post-Covid-19 transformations. It introduces the concept of “fluid work arrangements” where the boundaries between the dig…

The book is grouped around three core themes: sexuality and violence, h…
Ethnic politics and ambivalent imaginaries of the future at the Melaka Straits
This article examines the ambivalent relationship between members of the Portuguese‐Melakan Kristang minority and the state from the 1940s to the present day through the lens of ethnic politics. It reveals how ambivalent imaginaries of the future have shaped the politics of community members and what strategies they have used to assert their place. Moreover, it analyses how partly contradictory, partly converging imaginaries of the future of the …
Worlding Sites and Their Ambiguity
The idea of this volume was born within a multidisciplinary research on regional dynamics in Southeast Asia which considered both micro and macro levels of analysis. As anthropologists in the team, we chose to study social objects defined by the interplay of capital, the environment and work. Monika Arnez focused on the development of a luxury neighbourhood entirely built on reclaimed land in Melaka, and Silvia Vignato singled out a declining ext…
Environmental Protest Aesthetics as Decolonial Worlding
This article makes the case for environmental protest aesthetics as part of a decolonial worlding that encompasses a variety of relational performative acts through which creative resistance to colonialism, capitalism, and resource exploitation is staged. These acts are understood as relational because in their graphics, image-text events in social media, and in their appearances at street protests, they refer to a system that they seek to subver…
The granularity of sand
Due to high global demand, sand is known as a scarce and controversial resource. Jamieson’s article, ‘For Granular Geography’, starts from this premise, presenting force chains, friction, and phase transitions to illustrate production, consumption, and distribution processes of sand from upstream to downstream by means of analogies. This commentary is divided into two parts. The first section discusses how these three elements are used as analogi…
Dimensions of Morality
Based on ethnographic fieldwork and literary analysis, this article analyses the Forum Lingkar Pena (FLP), the largest transnational writers’ collective for Muslim readers, writers, and publishers in Indonesia. In the light of the different FLP ‘subcultures’ embedded within the local framework of the respective branches, we examine moral solidarity as a unifying element of the forum’s divisions. We presume that the FLP is characterized by moral s…

Dakwah by the Pen
Islamic fiction has become increasingly popular since the 1980s, a development that is related to the Islamic revival of that decade. Islamic narratives, aimed at Muslim teenagers, have proliferated in the last three decades. Helvy Tiana Rosa, a productive writer of Islamic fiction and founder of the Pen Circle Forum (Forum Lingkar Pena, FLP), is one of the most popular figures of this literary movement. This article explores the following questi…
Empowering Women Through Islam
This article investigates the empowerment strategies of Fatayat NU, the young women's branch of the Indonesian Muslim mass organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). It raises the following questions: what instruments the women have used to realize their visions of empowerment and gender equality since the foundation of Fatayat NU, what programmes they have recently set up to advance the position of women in Indonesian society, and how they have addresse…
