This article is my retrospective account on the making of one of my testimonial documentaries, “Kameng Gampoeng Nyang Keunong Geulawa” (The Village Goat that Takes the Beating, 1999) which was commissioned by a human rights-defender NGO based in Jakarta. The aim was to offer critical views on the Aceh conflict to the Indonesian public. By using chronotopes (Bakhtin, 1981) as the analytical tool, I delineate the way the Indonesian state and its military constituted a dominant view of Aceh as the Other by applying a semiotic model of authoritarian nationalism that circulated in the public sphere. As the counter-politics, I developed particular testimony chronotopes as a strategy to capture victims’ points of view as embodied experience. In my reflection, I argue that instead of producing a complex visuality of the Aceh actors as human beings, my portrayal of the victims had taken on a sustained oppressor-victim binary opposition view which framed victims as the articulation of singular experience. This study contributes to the emerging interest in media anthropology and the study of non-mainstream film genres and independent cinema works.

Indonesia has a great diversity of ethnic groups, languages, physical characteristics, and human genetic structures. Various studies of human physical variation and their evolutionary history in the world have received substantial contributions from biological anthropology researches in Indonesia. However, biological anthropology studies in Indonesia are not established or less familiar even among Indonesian anthropology milieu. This condition is reflected in a small numbers of Indonesian biological anthropologists, despite the vision of the founders of Indonesian anthropology that programmed the development of biological anthropology as a part of the anthropology department. This article aims to review the history of biological anthropology studies in Indonesia. Therefore, as a preliminary note, considerable scientific publications in biological anthropology in Indonesia will be discussed briefly to demonstrate the development of Indonesian biological anthropology.

This paper explores the conceptual and methodological thinking of an ethnography of a collaborative film making with traditional Javanese performance groups, adapting their work from the stage to the screen. This paper specifically offers ethnography as practical research involving researchers and research subjects conducting film projects together. This project has indeed practical and research objectives. The practical goal is to collaborate with traditional rural performance groups, to help facilitate the exploration of their new media and express themselves through film. The research objective of this project is to record, understand and analyze the process, while laying the foundation for further collaboration and research in other contexts and with different communities.

This paper discusses the involvement of imagination in the implementation of several techniques for societal improvement introduced by intervention programs in Indonesia. Using the perspective of socio-technical imagination, I contend that the implementation of the World Bank’s Community-Driven Development (CDD) in Indonesia does not only revolve around technical matters, but also structured by collective imagination held by various development actors regarding the formation of desired social order. This paper is part of my reflexivity regarding my involvement as a researcher and filmmaker in a research project designed to evaluate the impact of the implementation of CDD program in health and education sector in Indonesia. The research was conducted from the end of 2016 to the mid of 2017. Based on this experience, this paper examines the way in which imaginations invoked in programs implementation influence the process of film making that involved various development actors ranging from the World Bank’s technocrats in Jakarta, program’s implementer in province, district, sub-district, and village level, to target groups of intervention program in the village.

Studies have shown the importance of identity politics in the ability for small-holders to form a solidarity in a collective action protest against development project. However, those studies do not show how the kinship relations in the context of adat system could shape the agency of small-holder to organize collective resistance against the development project that affects their livelihoods. Although we are not denying the importance of traditional kinship relations in developing solidarity among agrarian communities in Indonesia to carry out a public protest, kinship relations system might also be used by other interest such as government, contractor, and traditional leader for shaping some forms of resistance action. Drawing from ethnographic study of the small-holders protests against a governmental irrigation project in West Sumatera, we attempt to show how social relations in the traditional kinship system have significantly shaped their ability to carry out open public protest and gain collective support. Small-holder ability to act need to be analyzed in the complex power relations dynamic among actors involved who are embedded in the traditional kinship relationships that were practiced. Small-holders agency of resistance was hindered by the government and project contractor strategy to incorporate the key traditional leaders into the project.

Berbagai permasalahan dialami masyarakat berkaitan fenomena perubahan iklim diungkap dengan menelusuri pengetahuan (budaya) mereka memahami dan memerkirakan berbagai keadaan persepsi yang kini mengalami kesimpangiuran; dan upaya diterapkan menghadapi keadaan lingkungan. Kesemuanya itu akan merepresentasikan bagaimana budaya mengungkap perubahan iklim yang bukan hanya tentang persoalan lingkungan fisik semata, melainkan juga merupakan suatu fenomena sosial-kultural. Kata kunci: Perubahan Iklim, Pengetahuan (Budaya), Kesimpangsiuran Lingkungan, dan Fenomena Sosial-Kultural. Abstract In the last decade, the issue of climate change phenomenon has been a serious debate for the people around the world. The impact of the climate change symptom can be felt or experience directly by a societal group in any environment. The problems being experienced by the people related with the climate change phenomenon can be revealed by tracing their knowledge (culture) in understanding and predicting the circumstances of the environment; their perception about the environment which has been more unpredictable in the recent time; and the effort that were applied by them to face of the unpredictable circumstances of the environment. That would be represented how culture revealed the climate change was not only about the physical environment, but also the social-cultural phenomenon.

This article is about Kangean’s Islam. Islamic faith is present in cultural and historical society. Religion is interpreted and analyzed based on the cultural context of society. There- fore, there is a process of dialectics in religion as text and society as context. This process produces Islam which is different in different contexts. This article presents anthropological analysis and not theological analysis. Kangean island has a culture which is different from Javanese, Bawean, and Maduranese culture. The religious faith is analyzed in the context of Kangean culture which result in Kangean’s Islam. Kangean island is shown in the ritual, numerology, belief in spirit, and poer of religious magic. In fact, Kangean’s Islam responds variably to the various aspects mentioned above.

Dengan mengumpulkan bahan-bahan dari beberapa masyarakat Kepala Burung dalam rangka proyek penelitian di Irian Jaya, tulisan ini mempelajari bagaimana institusi-institusi ‘tradisional’ bentukan cerita-cerita millenarian dan kemungkinan kehidupan yang mendapat pengaruh ‘Barat’ dan ‘Indonesia’ itu diredusir. Perbandingan dari beberapa masyarakat Kepala Burung memperlihatkan pentingnya memperhatikan perubahan makna dari institusi lokal dalam penelitian dan kebijakan-kebijakan di masa mendatang. Penulis mencoba melihat refleksi masyarakat terhadap institusi lama bukan hanya sekedar sebagai resistensi kesadaran pribadi, melainkan lebih sebagai praktik-praktik signifikan yang memperlihatkan kepiawaian masyarakat dalam mentransformasikan wilayah dan masyarakat lokal menjadi wilayah yang penting dan individu-individu yang berpotensi memiliki kekuasaan. Dalam hal ini, orang-orang Papua tidaklah menghindari ancaman dari luar maupun dari dalam masyarakat mereka sendiri. Penerimaan mereka terhadap hal ini mencakup reproduksi nilai-nilai budaya. Dalam reproduksi nilai-nilai budaya itu terdapat penguatan terhadap batas, wilayah, dan perbedaan kualitas dari kelompok-kelompok lokal, bahkan juga unsur-unsur nasional dari masyarakat Papua (Barat). Atribut tersebut mencakup otonomi pre-kolonial, kekuatan dari pengetahuan nenek moyang untuk memperoleh cargo dan hubungan-hubungan yang terkait dengan makhluk-makhluk supranatural, serta agama kristen. Tulisan ini menggarisbawahi bagaimana masyarakat di Kepala Burung mempertahankan wilayahnya, meredifinisikan kembali intitusi lama dan kepercayaan-kepercayaan di dunia, yang bukan saja menyebabkan mereka mengalami sesuatu yang membingungkan dan menakutkan, melainkan juga membentuk sesuatu yang membedakan mereka dengan masyarakat lainnya.

Art presents a discursive space for thought and affect that is part of the cultural configuration of a society. Thus defined, an assumption is made that Indonesia possesses no discursive space for the 200 million people that make up its pluralistic society, if traditional art presents space only for the bearers of that tradition. There are many who say that 'Indonesian' art has already emerged, and provide examples from various art forms. Furthermore, there is the notion that traditional art is generally static, inferior, unbefitting and unable to fulfill the needs of 'modern' Indonesians-especially going into the 21st century. In fact, traditional art continues to undergo shifts and changes, or to disappear as a discursive space with any significance. While holding to the assumption mentioned above, this article seeks an understanding of traditional art extant in the ethnic groups that comprise Indonesia's pluralistic society. The question is whether the Indonesian people see themselves as heirs to the various traditional art forms, or whether such art can serve as a vehicle for social integration in Indonesia.
