Abstract:In Malaysia, multiple discourses of Indigenous rights have long existed in different forms: Malay, Orang Asli, bumiputera, natives, pribumi, Orang Asal, aboriginal—these are all terms that can be translated as 'Indigenous'. New international Indigenous rights discourses are layered upon these existing discourses and become reworked, as do local forms of Indigenous identity claims. In this paper, I examine and explore the potential and limits of the claims to indigeneity in peninsular Malaysia as different groups at times align and clash in their claims for the Indigenous slot.

Abstract:This article is concerned with the study of three manners-related cultural artefacts produced and circulated during the 1950s in Thailand. Together, these artefacts capture, literally and visually, a proposal for ideal manners for the emerging Thai urban middle class. The article argues for the recognition of everyday commodities in the accumulation and display of good manners, emphasizing the moment of unification between the embodied and the objectified states of cultural capital. In so doing, the article highlights the link between manners and consumer capitalism. It also discusses how the imposition of Thai morality on modern consumption was instrumental in effecting politico-economic change in that era.

Abstract:Muslim discourse in Thailand including sensationalist and essentialist conceptions have been circulating widely since the outbreak of violence in South Thailand in 2004. However, Islamic discourse in Thailand is heterogeneous. Islamic reform movements have been contesting the more militant forms of discourse for years. Various Muslim intellectuals operating in early and more contemporary forms of the public sphere have been effective leaders of these reformist campaigns and have had an enormous influence on the Muslim communities in Thailand.

Abstract:This paper is an exploratory exercise in understanding the construction of international regions using anthropological perspectives, with Timor-Leste as a case study. We propose that 'local beyond-border perspectives' establish a new domain within the world at large as a representation of transnationalism and globalization 'from the bottom-up'. We discuss this using an interdisciplinary approach—anthropology and international relations—to contribute to the study of international regions through a complementary double-ideological system spanning state relations and local perspectives. We argue that the beyond-border perceptions that people from Timor-Leste have of regional organizations are more appropriately understood as projections of their narratives and aspirations. Such situational flexibility, understood as pragmatic transnationalism, builds upon ancient narratives and inside-outside relations.

Abstract:This article examines Lamberto Avellana's Anak Dalita (LVN Pictures, 1956) as a crime melodrama that places Intramuros, Manila's historic walled city, within the cinematic urban geography of film noir. It probes the film's representation of the transformation of Intramuros from a colonial city of cathedrals and mansions to a post-war ruin associated with squatters and urban poverty. Situating Anak Dalita within the context of the reconfiguration of Manila's urban space in the two decades that followed the Second World War, this essay interprets the film's narrative about a disabled veteran's quest to regain his self-worth in Intramuros as an allegory of post-war urban rehabilitation. The looban (meaning interior space, interiority and a gathering of wills) is proposed as a conceptual tool to critique Anak Dalita's solutions to the squatter problem in Intramuros.

On 9 December 2020, a group of scholars of Southeast Asia gathered over Zoom as part of the American Academy of Religion’s annual conference for a special roundtable: “New Decade, New Directions: Advancing the Study of Southeast Asian Religions”. This session considered key works in the study of Southeast Asian religions from the last decade and discussed ways the field should develop over the next decade. Scholars from a wide range of disciplines charted a collaborative historiography that we are happy to share with SOJOURN readers in this special package. We also offer glimpses into each author’s new research projects. This package, then, offers a knowing glance back at important scholarship from the 2010s and a promising picture of where the 2020s could take the study of religion in Southeast Asia. This section features scholarship from a diverse range of disciplines, including history, anthropology, gender studies, literary studies, media studies and ritual studies. It encompasses multiple Southeast Asian locations, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Southwest China, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. To harmonize our multi-vocal collaboration, each of our eight

Abstract:"Sen'yū no ikotsu o daite" (Carrying My Comrade's Ashes) (1942), a Japanese military song about the fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942, is a subversive text. Written and composed by Japanese soldiers, the song served during the Second World War as a propaganda text celebrating Japanese imperialism, and after the war as an anti-war text promoting post-war pacifism. Both during and after the war, however, the song triggered responses in audiences, often through the act of crying, to reveal the war memories that both imperialist and pacifist ideologies had submerged.
