Specters of excess
Positioned at the island interface of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, the east Malaysian state of Sabah bears witness to some of the largest clandestine cross-border flows across the globe. This article examines what a Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah has called "an insidious problem which has turned out to be an all-consuming nightmare." It highlights the situated (meta)semiotic work involved in determining an…
"In lieu of "keywords
The identification of socioculturally important "keywords" remains a distinctive feature of critical social theory. This article asks why this is so while offering a critique of "keyword projects" as they have been formulated and pursued across cultural studies and anthropology. Such projects often remain inattentive to wider patterns of sign relations, concealing from ethnographic view the very patterns within which key "words" emerge and are em…
Intensity, infrastructure, aquatectonics
This article uses the Belt and Road Initiative to theorize the relation between intensity and infrastructure. It makes two theoretical claims. First, intensive flows simultaneously reveal and give rise to infrastructural formations. Second, infrastructural formations functionally re-channel the intensities that reveal or give rise to them in the first place. The article introduces the notion of aquatectonics to explore the confluence between inte…
Policing Intensity
How do everyday acts of policing hinge upon the contrastive evaluation of sensible intensities? This article examines how various attunements toward regimes of sensible intensities shape the policing of borders and bodies in a place where questions of the "sovereign" and identifications of the "illegal" are semiotically and politically up for grabs: the Indonesia-Malaysia borderlands. In two expository sketches, it examines the various ways in wh…
Living on the Edge
In Indonesia’s Riau Islands Province — a place envisioned as a distinctly “Malay Province” upon its legal formation in 2002 — ethnic Malays are the proud heirs and custodians of a rich legacy associated with a once-sprawling Malay empire that stretched across present-day transnational borders from Indonesia, to Singapore, to Malaysia. Malays of Bugis descent have long played a disproportionately central role in the history (and the historiography…
Their Accent Would Betray Them
Ethnically Bugis Indonesians have long emigrated from their homeland in Sulawesi to neighbouring Malaysia, where they gained employment as labourers and rapidly assimilated as Malay-speaking Muslim members of the greater Malay race. Shifting socio-political and economic forces have more recently given rise to narratives that characterize Bugis migrants as an intrusive, displacing and illegal presence. The rise of this view has culminated in wides…
Indonesia's Changing Political Economy
The Isan Culture Maintenance and Revitalization Programme was a four-year, 500,000- euro programme devised and implemented by four municipalities in Khon Kaen Province together with the College of Local Administration of Khon Kaen University in Northeast Thailand. The programme pursued five different action lines, with Ban Phai Municipality being responsible for traditionally made ethnic uniforms, Chum Phae Municipality for designing and installi…
Grading Qualities and (Un)settling Equivalences
Undocumented migrants' bodies are typically assumed to exhibit signs of their so-called "illegal" status. In the absence of phenotypic, linguistic, or religious diacritics of categorical outsidership, however, how are migrants made legible and policed? How might they navigate state surveillance by exploiting their perceived equivalences with members of a host community? Indonesians were long encouraged to informally emigrate to neighboring Malays…
