Great and Misplaced Expectations

Click 2014_Vol46-No1_CAS Great and Misplaced Expectations-c

Despite the great expectations of many (including this author soon after the film’s release), TAOK has not caused a major public controversy in Indonesia. Even as the film becomes more widely available to broader segments of the population, I doubt it will radically alter political life in Indonesia or radically shift perspectives on Indonesia’s violent past.

New Tradition in a Modernity-Deficit Postcolony

Download

Even with a general consensus on the constructedness of tradition, the tradition/modernity dichotomy persists among people of various backgrounds, not least in academic circles. It finds expression under different phrases and dominant frames of thought, such as ‘West/ern/ers’ versus ‘East/ern/ers’, whites versus coloured, coloniser versus colonised races.

Can There be Southeast Asians in Southeast Asian Studies?

Download

It is Southeast Asia’s middle-class intelligentsia that pose a thorny situation for some Southeast Asianists outside Southeast Asia. They cannot be totally silenced and made mere objects of analysis, for they are neither purely ‘one of us’ (Southeast Asianists in Western centers of Southeast Asian studies) and subjected to the pressure of Western academic ethics, traditions, and industry, nor are they completely separable and distinguishable from ‘us.’
