“…As Lyn Parker and Pam Nilan (2013:7) have argued, 'There is no arena more potent for stirring up moral panics about Indonesian youth than the realm of popular culture.' For, as elsewhere in the global south, popular culture in Indonesia was seen to have drawn heavily from American television, films, and music (Budianta 2000)-which were widely decried as a source of undesirable foreign influence and moral permissiveness. With entertainment media from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan gaining increasing prominence in more recent years, Ariel Heryanto has observed that 'the West suddenly ceased to be the sole center of orientation for the consumption of popular culture in Indonesia' (Heryanto 2014:169).…”

The collapse of the New Order ushered in what many had hoped would be a new era of openness and transparency for Indonesia. The loosening of laws pertaining to broadcast and print publication gave rise to a proliferation of new media and cultural production. This had a profound effect on everything, from politics, religion, and the economy to popular conceptions of romantic intimacy and personal accomplishment. The question is whether prevailing approaches to media and popular culture are adequate to the task of accounting for these oft-cited transformations in Indonesian public life. Focusing on issues of piety, class, and romance, this article examines a sequence of films, pop songs, and YouTube parody videos to offer a presuppositional critique of the current scholarship. Its central contention is that closer attention to pop culture as a form of ‘argument’ offers an important corrective to the reifying tendencies of prevailing approaches.

“…This is a very small niche market compared to the sheer size and diversity of Indonesia. However, throughout the history of Indonesia, both print media and the urban middle class have played a key role in determining national narratives (Budianta 2000;Heryanto and Adi 2001;Nordholt 2011).…”

The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy

Prior to Dutch colonization, there was a clear distinction between men and women in Indonesia. However, the hierarchical structure between these gender categories is part and parcel of the colonial legacy. Masculinity was first introduced in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period as a repudiation from femininity. This signaled a significant shift, as previously being modest and part of the community had been valued much more highly in Indonesian society than was individuality. By asking to what extent men's gender expectations are subject to the identity politics of masculinity, and to what extent this is reflected on Indonesian popular culture specifically men's lifestyle magazine, I intend to shed light on the incompatibility of the identity politics of masculinity with contemporary Indonesian men. Towards this goal, I analyse eight men's lifestyle magazines, for they play a key role in contemporary modern societies, exposing men to generalized notions of what it means to be a 'man'. Spanning the period from the earliest men's lifestyle magazines published in Indonesia in the mid-1970s until 2015, I map contemporary narratives of masculinity in Indonesian context as a reflection of the effects colonial ideologies continue to have on Indonesian society and the division of gender roles.

“…This report addresses the gap in existing literature that analyses the effects of language on the construction of identity, by persuading individuals to prioritise certain dimensions of identity over others. There have been several CDAs regarding identity (Abdullah, 2004;Ainsworth & Hardy, 2004;Hernandez, 2008;Barker, 2001;Budianta, 2000), but so far there has yet to be a report that has broached the topic of identity utilising the concept of multiple identities.…”

Critical Discourse Analysis on Chinese Racial Pride Underlying the Malaysian National Identity in “Proud to be born a Chinese”

The ideology of Chinese racial pride in an online essay "Proud to be born a Chinese" by Dr. Chan-Lui Lee is described and analysed by using the sociocognitive approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA). The research design is based on the notion that Chinese racial pride is a tool to persuade Chinese Malaysians to prioritise their Chinese racial identity over the Malaysian national identity, leading to national disunity and racial fissures in society. This notion runs parallel to the concept of the dynamicity and fluidity of the construction of identity, as explored by Jones, McEwen and Abes in their Reconceptualised Model of Multiple Identities (2007). As the degree to which Malaysians identify with the national identity over other group identities determines the success of national unity (Liu et al, 2002), Dr. Chan-Lui Lee's essay provides insight into the overall success of national unity in Malaysia. "Proud to be born a Chinese" is analysed through three components: the discursive, cognitive and social components, which not only confirm that the essay prioritises Chinese racial identity over Malaysian national identity using Chinese racial pride, but also that the essay and its strategies are a response to the socio-political circumstances in Malaysia and the creation of neonationalist identities in the relatively new nations of Southeast Asia.
