Where are the Palembang Kraton manuscripts? Trajectories of a royal library
The role of Malay royal courts as patrons of manuscript production has been deemed to be prominent, but the collections of manuscripts they housed have been very little known to scholarship. Through the case of the Palembang Sultanate in Sumatra, I investigate the extant manuscripts originating from the palace library. Some moved into the hands of private owners in Palembang, while others were dispersed into colonial collections in Europe and Sou…

Erecting the submerged tree trunk
This article discusses the efforts of constructing the narrative of continuity that connects the Indonesian province of Riau Islands with the former Malay kingdoms, Riau-Lingga-Johor-Pahang, and supports the claims to be the heir of the originator of Malay civilisation. Focusing on the case of the revived mak yong theatre, I look at the roles of speeches, writings, stage performances, historic sites, and museum displays that serve as the very fab…

Previous studies of mak yong theatre in Indonesia looked at the art form as a given tradition, and described its elements and performance structure. Such an approach is inadequate to investigate mak yong in the current social and cultural context. State institutions, the local government, communities, performers, and other agents have revived and constantly (re)shaped mak yong theatre and its presentation as a commodified Malay identity marker. H…

This article deals with an agrarian dispute that has expanded from the †̃plantation beltâ€TM to the swampy area on the East Coast of North Sumatra, which intertwined with a colonial legacy, environmental issue, Masyarakat Adat discourse, and recent political development. I conducted fieldwork in 2014 and periodic visits in 2015 to live among the community, observe, discuss, and document the events that occurred in the periods, and analyze them hi…
