Abstract:This essay is one of more than a dozen in this volume to honor the late Mary Margaret Steedly. The paper’s theme is “telltale.” Telltale speaks to the acute attention and thinking that Steedly brought to her work, to the subtlety, nuance, power, and persuasiveness of her writing, and to the way Indonesianists and other scholars may recall and draw on her insights and contributions for years to come. “Telltale” evokes Steedly’s method and the pleasure of surprise and sense of adventure that she found in her fieldwork and ethnography. Steedly had a keen alertness to the telltale in the sense of an outward sign, an indication of something, however slight, that marks a difference, discloses a possibility, intimates a shift in direction. Occasionally, something telltale clamors for attention. More often, it is small, even modest in its singularity, a telling detail that stands out from its surroundings, gives pause, catches the eye, makes one listen more closely or look again. Telltale assumes myriad forms—a word, a gesture, a tone, a silence, a change of posture, something scuttling at the edge of the visual field. Telltale is not just noticeable but suggestive, since it betrays the presence of something else—another way of telling, someone else speaking, or a fugitive site of ephemerality … exactly the sorts of things that characterize Steedly’s writings and ruminations.

Abstract:This essay, one of more than a dozen in this volume to honor the late Mary Margaret Steedly, takes the place of an afterword for this memorial collection that constitute a multi-voiced appreciation of Steedly by her colleagues and students. Steedly was always a voracious and discerning reader, and her capacity to read widely and well was behind the artful, writerly style that she cultivated, and that made such an impression on her students, colleagues, and other scholars. Yet especially striking and meaningful were her intense curiosity and nimble intellect, and her ethnographic sensibilities—her capacity to conjure the feel and often contradictory forces animating social life, which were in keeping with her pursuit of historical ethnography. Steedly's breakout article is a brilliant, piercing analysis of Karo Batak ceremonial curing practices. It showcases her deft handling of discursive fragments and contradictions so as to challenge analytic presumptions about cultural coherence and therapeutic efficacy, while also conveying something of the richness, humor, and open-endedness of curing rites despite ongoing human suffering, broken families, and an inevitable status quo.

Abstract:Here is a short history of the Indonesian Communist Party (Partai Komunis Indonesia, PKI) in Aceh province, northern Sumatra, beginning with a brief overview of the effect of Dutch colonization on Acehnese society. It then traces the PKI’s emergence in the province during the early 1920s and the PKI’s relationship with political Islam between the 1930s and 1950s, before outlining the complexities of the PKI’s involvement in Aceh’s political life during the early 1960s. It argues that there is no reason to believe that the PKI in Aceh was particularly small or deviated substantially from the PKI’s patterns of growth or membership elsewhere in Indonesia. It also proposes that the relationship between the PKI and political Islam in the province was more complex than is generally acknowledged. It was only after a military-led anti-Communist propaganda campaign during the time of the 1965–66 genocide (Thirtieth of September Movement) that the PKI came to be widely viewed as a mortal enemy of Islam by Aceh’s civilian population.
