Visual Culture of Chinese Diasporas in Asia
In this respect, visual culture emerges from the need to bridge and explore the gap between the diversely rich visual experience in postmodern culture, and the ability to understand it. What kind of visual experience meant in this relation to postmodernism? It is the visual experience of the consumers (rather than the producers) shaped by “complex, overlapping and disjunctive order” of understanding the visualized everyday life events.
Storied Island
Javanese literature is one of the world’s richest and most unusual literary traditions yet it is little known today outside of Java, Indonesia, and a handful of western universities. With its more than a millennium of documented history, its complex interactions over the centuries with literature written in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Malay and Dutch, its often symbiotic relationship with the performing arts of puppetry and dance, and its own immense creativity and insight, this vastly understudied literature offers a lens to understanding Java’s fascinating world as well as human ingenuity more broadly. The essays in this volume, Storied Island: New Explorations in Javanese Literature, take a fresh look at questions and themes pertaining to Java’s literature, employing new theoretical and methodological lenses.
Residential Solid Waste Management in Semarang
This book deals with one of the main environmental challenges in Indonesia, namely the processing of solid waste. As a case, the study focuses on household waste management in the city of Semarang in Central Java. Semarang still uses the end of pipe system. Waste is brought to temporary disposal sites (TDSs) and from there to a final disposal site (FDS). The poor urban waste management evidently does not only result in a negative impact on human life and the environment but also constitutes a geographical problem. This is because the negative impact of disposal sites will affect those living in the immediate vicinity. The extent of the burden or benefit, of the sites, will vary according to the site location. Further to this, within a specific population group,households will be unequally exposed to some burdens depending on their proximity to the disposal site, gender (women will usually suffer more), age and social group. Frequently poor people are the most vulnerable party who will receive the burden of the disposal site rather than its benefit.
Alternative Historiographies of the Digital Humanities
"Alternative Historiographies of the Digital Humanities examines the process of history in the narrative of the digital humanities and deconstructs its history as a straight line from the beginnings of humanities computing. By discussing alternatives histories of the digital humanities that address queer gaming, feminist game studies praxis, Cold War military-industrial complex computation, the creation of the environmental humanities, monolingual discontent in DH, the hidden history of DH in English studies, radical media praxis, cultural studies and DH, indigenous futurities, Pacific Rim post-colonial DH, the issue of scale and DH, the radical, indigenous, feminist histories of the digital database, and the possibilities for an antifascist DH, this collection hopes to re-set discussions of the DH straight, white origin myths. Thus, this collection hopes to reexamine the silences in such a straight and white masculinist history and how power comes into play to shape this straight, white DH narrative."--Page 4 of cover

The Killing Season
The definitive account of one of the twentieth century’s most brutal, yet least examined, episodes of genocide and detention The Killing Season explores one of the largest and swiftest, yet least examined, instances of mass killing and incarceration in the twentieth century—the shocking antileftist purge that gripped Indonesia in 1965–66, leaving some five hundred thousand people dead and more than a million others in detention. An expert in modern Indonesian history, genocide, and human rights, Geoffrey Robinson sets out to account for this violence and to end the troubling silence surrounding it. In doing so, he sheds new light on broad, enduring historical questions. How do we account for instances of systematic mass killing and detention? Why are some of these crimes remembered and punished, while others are forgotten? Based on a rich body of primary and secondary sources, The Killing Season is the definitive account of a pivotal period in Indonesian history.

Sosiologi Hukum Dalam Perubahan
Kita hidup di dunia yang berlari tunggang-langgang. Dunia yang tak hanya menyajikan satu, tapi beragam peristiwa. Dunia yang tak hanya mengajak, tapi juga memaksa lari bersama "kemajuan-kemajuan"nya. Jarak jadi begitu dekat dan waktu jadi begitu rampat. Dunia berubah, tak hanya dalam gerak laju yang tercerna, tapi juga yang tunggang-langgang. Cara mengamati dunia, ilmu pengetahuan, ikut berubah dan berlari. Kita tak lagi merasa pas menggunakan perbendaharaan pengetahuan dan norma yang selama ini secara deduktif kita pakai menilai (memaknai) perubahan. Diperlukan sesuatu yang baru, paling tidak tafsir baru untuk menjelaskan apa yang kita tangkap. Buku ini adalah dokumentasi beberapa karya yan...
Diskursus Metode dalam Penelitian Hukum
Buku yang secara teoritis ingin memperlihatkan bagaimana diskursus metode dalam penelitian hukum, itu merupakan cita-cita lama yang akhirnya bisa terwujud.
