Digital Branding in the City of a Thousand Temples
Social media is transforming "out of the way" – that is, socially, geographically and economically peripheral – places by providing platforms for digital place-making. As a form of territorialisation, in which people transform space into place by giving it specific meanings, placemaking becomes extended into the digital environment through the generation and circulation of representations on social media, which contribute to specific kinds of cit…
Faith in Immunity and Structures of Trust
In the shadow of the BRI
In Singkawang, West Kalimantan, the local Chinese Indonesian community is currently engaged in a major Chinese religious revival centring around inter-ethnic spirit-medium practices. At the centre of this revival are processes of recreating Chinese Indonesian identities in relation to both highly localized gods, spirits, and territorially grounded senses of belonging and re-Sinicization processes that relate to transnational circulations of Chine…
Chinese Indonesian hometown associations in Singkawang
After the fall of Suharto and the retraction of discriminatory laws in Indonesia, many Chinese Indonesian Voluntary Associations (CIVAs) have reemerged. Over the past two decades, hometown associations have proliferated in order to channel support to, express love for, and generate identification with the kampung halaman, or hometown. These associations do not refer to qiaoxiang (侨乡), or the ancestral villages of overseas Chinese in China, but ra…

Introduction—Asian Religions in the Covidian Age
Bacteria, viruses, ghosts, holy spirits.A number of invisible entities trespass and spill from nonhuman to human, betraying the precariousness and porousness of the boundaries separating them.The Covidian age has made us more aware of and yet also skeptical about such boundaries, as zoonotic diseases jump from animal to human, from human to human, and across international borders.Relations of "pandemicity" (Richardson 2020)-the social relationshi…
Diasporic Chinese voluntary associations engage China's rise
Since the late 1970s, China has gradually risen as a global power, which culminates in the present moment when large‐scale geopolitical and economic ventures such as the Belt and Road Initiative have generated diversified cross‐border connections. This is most forcefully felt in the Chinese diaspora, and particularly those in Southeast Asia since the region is home to the largest and most diverse diasporic Chinese population. Chinese voluntary as…

An international turn
The transnationalization of Chinese temples is producing new spatial imaginaries and adding cosmopolitan dimensions to Chinese Indonesian identities in the post-Suharto era. In 1999, the Indonesian state legally-sanctioned Chinese Popular Religion after decades of prohibition, ushering in a period of Chinese religious revival nationally backed by constitutional legitimacy. The recent emergence of transnational temple networks is providing a furth…
Performing piety in public
In this article, I focus on the reentry of Chinese Indonesians into both politics and public religious life in Indonesia in the post-Suharto era. I argue that while entry into local politics has led to new forms of interethnic and interreligious competition, public displays of piety and religiosity among Chinese religion practitioners resonate with the religiosity of others and comply with the need for religiosity outlined in Indonesian state ide…
What does it mean to be 'called home' from overseas? The case of Hakka Chinese Indonesian youth from West Kalimantan
Every year thousands of Hakka Chinese Indonesian youth leave towns in West Kalimantan to go overseas to work and study in Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Australia, America and the UK. Many have their sojourns abroad stopped by parents who ‘call them home’ (Hakka. ham chon; Indo. disuruh pulang) to perform family duties, primarily taking over family businesses and taking care of aging parents. Being ‘called home’ is rarely optional; it is a form …

Edutainment heritage tourist attractions
Edutainment heritage tourist attractions (EHTAs) are a hybrid form of attraction that seek to create a synergy between the educational value and the entertainment value of their heritage contents by using multimedia technologies. The edutainment nature of this relatively new form of tourist attraction obscures the differences between other forms of heritage attractions, such as museums of history and culture, heritage theme parks and living histo…
