The Act Of Killing - Review, Robert Cribb
The Act Of Killing - Review, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Critically reviews Joshua Oppenheimer's celebrated film The Act of Killing. Suggests that the film appears to have been staged in sigificant places and that it gives a misleading impression of the character of the 1965-66 killings, especially by downplaying the role of the military in order to emphasise the psychopathic character of Anwar Congo and his friends.

The 2004 announcement of the discovery of a new species of hominin in the form of sub-fossil remains from Liang Bua cave in Flores aroused immediate excitement and controversy.

A Genocide That Never Was: Explaining The Myth Of Anti-Chinese Massacres In Indonesia, 1965–66, Robert Cribb
A Genocide That Never Was: Explaining The Myth Of Anti-Chinese Massacres In Indonesia, 1965–66, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Many publications refer incorrectly to extensive massacres of Chinese in Indonesia in 1965–66. Approximately half a million people were killed in this period, but the victims wereoverwhelmingly members and associates of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). Chinese Indonesians experienced serious harassment but relatively few were killed. The persistence of this myth is attributed to a trope dating back to the seventeenth century which equates the social position of Chinese in Indonesia with that of Jews in Europe and which thus predicts periodic pogroms and attempts at genocide. The myth has survived partly because it inspires a sense of urgency in …

Circles Of Esteem, Standard Works, And Euphoric Couplets: Dynamics Of Academic Life In Indonesian Studies, Robert Cribb
Circles Of Esteem, Standard Works, And Euphoric Couplets: Dynamics Of Academic Life In Indonesian Studies, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Indonesian Studies as a field is strongly influenced by its own social character as a community of competing and cooperating scholars. Outside individual universities, the dominant social form is not the powerful professor, but rather the “circle of esteem,” a cluster of scholars who respect each other, cite each other’s work, push each other’s ideas into the academic marketplace, and, occasionally, rise to each other’s defense. Circles of esteem arise because academic work has less to do with the industrial production of knowledge than with a constant search for novelty, which may arise from new sources or new uses of …

Japan And Transformation Of National Identities In The Imperial Era, Li Narangoa, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Japan's view of the nationality of its Asian neightbours took many forms during the imperial era. In some respects Japan asserted its superiority to those neighbours, in other respects saw them as nations with a standing equal to that of Japan. The working out of these two views reflected Japanese strategic interests.

Environmentalism In Indonesian Politics, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Environmential politics emerged in Indonesia during the autheoritarian Suharto era. Rather than being a reaction to Suharto's predatory approach to the environment, many environmental policies were closely tied to the managerial, technocratic and campaign-oriented approach of the New Order.

Political Structures And Chinese Business Connections In The Malay World: A Historical Perspective, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
The prominence of ethnic Chinese among successful business owners in Southeast Asia is intriguing. Many have sought the secret of Chinese success in Chinese characteristics. This chapter suggests that Chinese success rests rather on the specific historical circumstances in Southeast Asia during the colonial period and after. A series of crony-like arrangements has been possible because political conditions permitted them,

Birds Of Paradise And Environmental Politics In Colonial Indonesia, 1890-1931, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Pressure to protect the bird of paradise, native to New Guinea and eastern Indonesia, began to develop in the late nineteenth century. Progress was slow, partly because lack of knowledge of the ecology of the birds made it difficult to assess the best way to provide protection, partly because of problems of enforcement, partly because of countervailing interests represented by the trade in pelts.
