Journalistic photograph on social condition and momentous events in Indonesia.
This is an odd book. An extensive and sometimes annotated bibliography, it is not a book in the sense of a narrative. However, if treated as a book in the traditional sense it leads the reader through a broad spectrum of feelings of amazement, curiosity and desire: amazement about the sheer volume, richness and detail of theliterature on Batavia/Jakarta; curiosity about the contents of certain publications or series of publications with attractive titles; and a feeling of desire immediately to begin an investigation into one of the appealing subjects stumbled upon while leafing through. The bibliography contains over 5000 titles classified into 42 broad subject categories. The vast majority of the publications consists of books, but the number of articles is also very substantial. Most of these titles (3500) were produced after 1950. The larger part of the publications are written in Indonesian, Dutch, and to a lesser extent English. But also publications in such languages as French, Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, and many others were listed. Indexes of authors, of subjects and of titles make this bibliography easily accessible.
Photography in Southeast Asia: A Survey is a comprehensive attempt to map the emergence and trajectories of photographic practices in Southeast Asia. The narrative begins in the colonial era, at the point when the transfer of photographic technology occurred between visiting practitioners and local photographers. With individual chapters dedicated to the countries of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam, the bulk of the book spans the post-World War Two era to the contemporary, focusing on practitioners who operate with agency and autonomy. The relationship between art and photography, which has been defined very narrowly over the decades, is re-examined in the process. Photography also offers an entry point into the cultural and social practices of the region, and a prism into the personal desires and creative decisions of its practitioners.

Reformasi dalam Fotografi Kita
“Bu, saya mau berjuang bersama mahasiswa. Saya tidak ikut-ikutan. Saya benar-benar ingin memperjuangkan kebenaran bersama mahasiswa dan melihat jalannya Sidang Istimewa MPR,” kata Hamidah menirukan anaknya, Lukman Firdaus, siswa SMUN 3 Ciledug yang gugur dalam Tragedi Semanggi I. Mereka Gugur di Tengah Reformasi, Kompas, 14 November 1998. Inilah yang terjadi hari-hari ini: spontanitas rakyat. Mereka mengulurkan tangan untuk membantu, seperti dulu para petani memberi makan dan tempat menginap bagi para gerilya ketika melawan tentara pendudukan Belanda.... Kini para ibu rumah tangga, bakul bermodal hanya Rp200.000, pelajar, menyerahkan uang untuk mendukung perjuangan para mahasiswa. Zaman Gerilya Terulang, Kompas, 21 Mei 1998.
Gerakan mahasiswa dituding komunis. Padahal, PKI sudah mati seperempat abad lalu. Sekadar taktik ABRI meredam aksi mahasiswa?
