aseas: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called aseas.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Indonesia; Development; Thailand; Asia; People; Der; State; Southeast; Government; Studies; Tourism; Community; Women; Land; East; Rights; National; Philippines; Project; Thai; Media; Social; Migration; Vietnam; Myanmar; Asean; Conflict; Health; Book; Food; Laos; Education; Islamic; Singapore; Kalimantan; Vietnamese; Economic; War; Cambodia; Colonial; Conference; Tsunami; Philippine; Jokowi; News; Folktale

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Building Resilience: The Emergence of Refugee-Led Education Initiatives in Indonesia to Address Service Gaps Faced in Protracted Transit by Brown, Thomas Mitchell (2018) - Although refugees in such situations are commonly perceived to be passive agents resigned to helplessness and in need of outside assistance, refugee communities are challenging this notion by working together to independently address their collective needs.

• Is Makassar a ‘Sanctuary City’? Migration Governance in Indonesia After the ‘Local Turn’ by Missbach, Antje; Adiputera, Yunizar; Prabandari, Atin (2018) - This view is also reflected in the findings of the UN Joint Migration and Development Initiative (JMDI), which say that “the drivers and impact of migration are often most strongly felt at the local level”, but at the same time “local governments have not received the same level of attention as other stakeholders, while their involvement and potential impact on the connections between migration and development is crucial” (JMDI, 2008). In this context, local governments (pemerintah daerah) are given, to a certain extent, both authority and responsibility caring for refugees in their jurisdictions.

• The Barong Wants to go out Again: Krisis moneter and the Resurgence of Rituals in Indonesia by Gottowik, Volker (2008) - These impacts are twofold: the democratization of Indonesia led not only to a revival of cultural activities of ethnic Chinese of which the reappearance of Barongsai dance troupes after more than 30 years of oppression is only one feature; the economic crises also raised the demand for new Barong masks on the side of the local Balinese people and fi nally caused a boom of ritual activities connected with these sacred fi gures. In other words: many new Barong masks were ordered in these days of political and economic insecurity. Keywords: bali; balinese; barong; chinese; gottowik; indonesia; masks; ritual; white

• Palm Oil as a Transnational Crisis in South-East Asia by Pye, Oliver (2009) - This is not so much because of the plant itself, which is actually quite useful, but because of the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations across South-East Asia which is seen as causing the destruction of rainforests (Buckland, 2005; Goossens et al., 2006; Nellemann, Miles, Kaltenborn, Virtue, & Ahlenius, 2007), as well as a lot of social problems (Wakker, 2005; Marti, 2008).

• Blessings for All? Community-Based Ecotourism in Bali Between Global, National, and Local Interests – A Case Study. by Byczek, Christian (2011) - Generally, reactions to tourism development among host societies may cover the full range from euphoria to apathy and antagonism (Fennel, 2008, p. 47). While the economic effects of tourism development could be considered, if not necessarily leading to equitable benefits, at least predominantly positive, the social effects are heavily discussed, while the ecological effects tend to be primarily negative, apart from existing potential for environmental protection and conserva- tion.

• Editorial: Changing Socio-Natures in South-East Asia by Pye, Oliver (2012) - The colonial state in general and forest admin- istrations in particular strived to exclude customary use of forest resources by the peasant population (Bryant, 1997; Cleary, 2005; Kathirithamby-Wells, 2005; Peluso, 1992; Vandergeest, 1996). However, Donal Yeang argues that given the right condi- tions, REDD projects can be designed in such a way that supports local communities’ rights to land and forest resources.

• Progress and Challenges of Combating Climate Change in Indonesia: An Interview with Prof. Rachmat Witoelar, the President’s Special Envoy for Climate Change by Plitschka, Till; Radjawali, Irendra (2012) - As the Kyoto Protocol – which includes binding targets for countries in the Global North (so-called Annex 1 countries) – is drawing to an end, negotiations revolve around a new protocol, but last year’s high level talks in Durban only came up with a fairly vague result – the Durban Platform – without binding emission reduction targets. In the past, all these efforts have been surrounded by cynicism, but now we are sure that it has been done as it is checked by 3 The acronym REDD refers to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and is a UN programme that aims to offer incentives for countries in the Global South to reduce emissions from deforestation by creating financial values for the forest carbon stocks.

• Thinking Globally, Framing Locally: International Discourses and Labor Organizing in Indonesia by Beers, Steve (2013) - Capital mobility and neoliberal policy reforms have led to weakened regulation of work conditions and safety, increased “flexible production” and contract work, de- creased job security and density of union representation, and reduced wages due to the weakened bargaining position of labor unions (Deyo, 1997; Lerner, 2007; Ma- zur, 2000; Tilly, 1995). Labor unions face a complex and transnational corporate envi- ronment in which corporations can shift capital and jobs across borders (Bronfren- brenner, 2007, pp. 1-2), while mobile capital pressured states to adopt policies that discourage workers’ organization and weaken measures to protect workers’ welfare (Deyo, 1997, pp. 103-104).

• Contested Land: An Analysis of Multi-Layered Conflicts in Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia by Beckert, Barbara; Dittrich, Christoph; Adiwibowo, Soeryo (2014) - By highlighting the path dependency of land conflicts, the article shows that access to land results from concurring but ambivalent institutional regimes and power asymmetries, leading to an ostensible state of equilibrium in a post-frontier area. This quote illustrates the severity of land conflicts on the village level as each ‘time bomb’ represents one major land conflict.

• Imagining Indonesia From Afar: Exploratory Thoughts on Utopian, Nostalgic, and Embodied Longing for the Homeland by Missbach, Antje; Myrttinen, Henry (2014) - By not limiting our gaze to more or less established diasporic groups with in- ternet presence and regular media outlets, this special issue seeks to also include less formalized and temporary group activities of Indonesians overseas that complement the already existing assemblies of Indonesian homeland narratives and imaginaries.

• Imagining the Land of the Two Holy Mosques: The Social and Doctrinal Importance of Saudi Arabia in Indonesian Salafi Discourse by Chaplin, Chris (2014) - The relationship between Salafi religious discourse and the imagined ideal of the Arabian Peninsula provides an interesting case study of both socio-political imagi- naries and contemporary religious movement. He provides an interesting example of reversion outside of – but linked to – Indonesia, something catalyzed by Indonesian religious students based in Saudi Arabia who can provide such classes for their compatriots.4 SAUDI ARABIA AND THE RELIGIOUS IDEAL The abovementioned linkages between Saudi Arabian religious institutions and religious actors in Indonesia, maintained through personal, professional, and even virtual ties, are thus integral in augmenting the importance of the Arabian Penin- sula among Indonesian Muslims interested in the movement.

• Tirolesia: A Trans-Medial Art Project Bridging Two Regions by Manhartsberger, Helena (2014) - Based on photographs, people are encouraged to invent stories about this ‘other’ place and the conscious reception of these ‘foreign’ stories at home gives the opportunity to inquire into stereotypes, clichés, and prejudices regarding an often ‘unknown’ or remote reality. Consequently, they told me stories that were as diverse as the people I met. Keywords: indonesia; people; project

While this is recog- nized in most research, some researchers and policy makers subsequently argue that palm oil related land conflicts originate from a lack of ‘clear’ land rights in rural areas (Rist, Feintrenie, & Levang, 2010; World Bank & IFC, 2011, p. 20).

• Mimicry of the Legal: Translating de jure Land Formalization Processes Into de facto Local Action in Jambi province, Sumatra by Kunz, Yvonne; Hein, Jonas; Mardiana, Rina; Faust, Heiko (2016) - At the same time, local land own- ers legitimize the exceeding of competencies through requesting village-scale titles. Led by the concepts of “law as process” (Moore, 1978) and “politics of scale” (Brenner, 1998; Meadowcroft, 2002; Neumann, 2009; Swyngedouw, 2010; Towers, 2000; Zulu, 2009), we combine theory and empirical data from Jambi province, Su- matra, to shed light on a confusingly high number of different kinds of land titles in use and their relation to public authorities.

• Forming 'Forbidden' Identities Online: Atheism in Indonesia by Schäfer, Saskia (2016) - The political theorist Elizabeth Shakman Hurd (2015) has investigated the con- sequences of a religious rights and freedoms model that singles out groups for le- gal protection as religious groups. A major effect that this sectarianization (Hurd, 2015) has for religious groups is the strengthening of boundaries and of claims to orthodoxy and authority.

• Men, Women, and Environmental Change in Indonesia: The Gendered Face of Development Among the Dayak Benuaq by Haug, Michaela (2017) - NGO literature tends to depict Dayak women as an especially vulnerable group. Building on this equivalence meaning of equality, I argue that Dayak Benuaq gender relations are characterized by a far-reaching gender equality.7 This argument is based on the following observations: Specific gender roles do exist in Benuaq society, but they are not strictly followed and often overlap.

Supang (2003) argues that human trafficking from South-East Asia started in the 1960s during the presence of the United States in Indochina, and that clients of the sex trade at that time were American soldiers who used Thailand as a relaxation point, with some also seeking temporary partners.

The contributions enquire into very different struggles and sites of food sovereignty exploring the meanings of ‘the right to define own food and agricultural systems’, as well as the plural ‘sovereignties’ of food related to the multiple actors, topics, understandings and practices of food sovereignty Three articles in this issue discuss different struggles for what we may broadly call food sovereignty based on empirical studies into settings as diverse as a remote peas- ant community in Indonesia, soup-pot restaurants in Phnom Pen, and a network of activists in the north of Thailand promoting alternative forms of agriculture.

• Returning to the Kampung Halaman: Limitations of Cosmopolitan Transnational Aspirations Among Hakka Chinese Indonesians Overseas by Hertzman, Emily (2014) - However, when he meets Chinese people, including his Cantonese boss, he tells them he is Chinese Indonesian, and speaks Mandarin and Hakka, downplaying the Indonesian aspects of his identity, and emphasizing the ethnically Chinese aspects in order to find acceptance and a common ground. When people from Singkawang travel to countries with other groups of Chinese people, the politics of these sub-ethnic group stereotypes play out in terms of how they are perceived by locals and therefore whom they feel comfortable asso- ciating and communicating with.14 As a way of refuting these negative stereotypes of Hakka sub-ethnic identity, people frequently cite the fact that some famous people including Sun Yat-Sen, Deng Xiaoping, and Lee Kuan Yew were/are Hakka.

To scrutinize how Thai students construct and negotiate their identities as legit- imate speakers of English in Sydney, which is considered one of the world’s most multilingual cities, it is crucial to understand how language users’ identities in multi- lingual contexts are constructed and negotiated, which can be explained by Pavlenko and Blackledge’s (2004) conceptual framework.

Non-traditional security in Asia: Dilemmas in securitisation. by Gerstl, Alfred (2008) - Militärische Bedrohungen der nationalen Sicherheit, also gewaltsame Konflikte und Kriege zwischen zwei oder mehr Staaten, spielen in der Forschung nach wie vor eine wesentliche Rolle, doch im letzten Jahrzehnt hat sich die Wissenschaft der Internationalen Beziehungen verstärkt mit sogenannten nicht-traditionellen, also nicht-militärischen, Konflikten auseinandergesetzt. Eine Bedrohung ist für sie dann “sekuritisiert” worden, wenn diese von der Lobby-Gruppe der Allgemeinheit oder einer bestimmten (betroffenen) Gruppe erfolgreich als existenziell gefährlich präsentiert wurde, zu deren Bewältigung es rascher Maβnahmen ausserhalb der angestammten politischen Prozesse bedarf – allerdings, dies ist ein zentraler Punkt, innerhalb der angestammten staatlichen Strukturen, mit der Regierung als dominanter Akteurin.

• Making Refugees (Dis)Appear: Identifying Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Thailand and Malaysia by Lego, Jera (2018) - Understanding the interplay between the state, the UNHCR, and NGOs in terms of varied rationalities serves to highlight: (1) the extent to which states, when focused on asserting their sovereign power, can disregard refugee norms, even as they inter- act and accommodate IOs and rights groups; (2) the importance of the UNHCR’s continued functioning; and (3) the crucial role that NGOs play in supporting forced migrants given the UNHCR’s tendency to homogenize refugee populations by vir- tue of its nature as a governmentalizing agent.7 It is hoped that the UNHCR, NGOs, and RCOs are continuously empowered, and that the state is socialized not just into adopting refugee norms but also away from an excessive focus on its sovereign sensi- bilities. Making Refugees (Dis)Appear This announcement by an RCO interestingly reveals the UNHCR’s governmen- tal compulsion to rationalize information on refugee populations, which in turn underpins a program for fixing these populations to particular places.

In Apichatpong’s films, nature is highly visible – neither as an agricultural landscape nor as the iconic tourist spots that often figure in Thai film but in the form of the jungle.

The role of private agencies in educating Indonesian migrant workers also becomes a source of problems since the monitoring of those agencies is still weak.

• Traders, Markets, and the State in Vietnam: Anthropological Perspectives by Endres, Kirsten W (2013) - In Vietnam’s largely local, relationship-based economy, informality in fact constitutes a particular mode of so- cial interaction and economic exchange and should, therefore, be treated analytically as an aspect of the moral economy rather than as a separate sector from the formal. Further research into the complex web of interlinkages between the economic sphere and the metaphysical assumptions that govern and guide Vietnam- ese perceptions of the self and the world is expected to contribute valuable insights to our understanding of local economic practices, the moral implications of wealth, and ideas about human agency.

Amelia maintains this idea throughout her book without ignoring the complexity of the specific historical, socio-political, and cultural contexts.

• China’s cultural diplomacy in Malaysia during Najib Razak’s premiership by Hrubý, Jakub; Petrů, Tomáš (2019) - While many aspects of China’s engagement with Southeast Asia have received scholarly attention, Chinese cultural diplomacy has only been partially researched, often within the scope of a wider overview of its public diplomacy (d’Hooghe, 2015; Kornphanat, 2016; Shambaugh, 2013; Shuto, 2018). A detailed analysis of the Malaysian case reveals an intricate pattern of involve- ment of various actors, both Chinese and local, state, semi-state, and non-state, pursuing their own interests, which tend to converge and overlap with the aims of Chinese cultural diplomacy, forming a synergy that helps to promote a positive image of present-day China in Malaysia.

• The Effects of COVID-19 on Refugees in Peninsular Malaysia: Surveillance, Securitization, and Eviction by Abd Jalil, Aslam; Hoffstaedter, Gerhard (2023) - One example was a media report that stated local residents believed that Rohingya refugees were unhygienic, brought crime and drugs to the neighborhood, and posed unfair competition to the job markets. However, unlike neighboring countries like Singapore, where migrant workers were confined to their workplaces, refugees in Malaysia are much more spread out and not easily confined to specific locations, except for those who have been detained in immigration detention.1 This became a national issue for Rohingya refugees because an early COVID cluster was detected as part of an Islamic missionary group Tablighi Jamaat mass gathering, which many Rohingya from across peninsular Malaysia had attended.2 The gather- ing at Sri Petaling Mosque in Kuala Lumpur from 27 February until 1 March 2020 involved 16,000 attendees comprising Malaysians, visitors from 27 countries, as well as migrants and refugees residing in Malaysia, and quickly became the country’s larg- est COVID-19 infection cluster (Malaysiakini, 2020).

• Book Review: Karlsson, K. A Sense of Place and Belonging: The Chiang Tung Borderland of Northern Southeast Asia. by Black, Joseph (2025) - In the introductory chapter, Karlsson lays out the historical and cultural context of Chiang Tung, framing it as a contested borderland marked by shifting sover- eignties, diverse ethnic communities, and deep-rooted struggles for autonomy.

• Singapore-India Relations: A Return to History by Ting, Ming Hwa (2009) - Manmohan Singh believed that to “market New India, [we] would have to begin in Singapore” (M. Singh quoted in Goh, 2008, para. 23), India’s post-Cold War interaction and engagement with Singapore provided the former with access to the region, and laid the foundations for the later establishment of the Mekong- Ganga Cooperation and the BIMSTEC Forum, which entrenched India’s presence in South-East Asia. In 2004, SINDEX 04 was held in central India. Keywords: aseas; asian; china; cold; east; economic; government; history; india; new; policy; relations; singapore; south; southeast; states; war

Lastly, although the book briefly addresses the vulnerability of non-male migrants, mostly categorizing them as women migrant workers, the feminization of the pandemic (Yavorsky et al., 2021) among non-male migrants in Southeast Asia remains an important subject of inves- tigation and in need of further attention.  174 | ASEAS 16(1) Book Review: Ullah, AKM.

Even though the two major outbreaks were eventually contained through an ar- ray of public health control measures instituted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Singapore, SARS and H1N1 brought about severe public health and economic con- sequences for the country as a whole (Leo, 2011).

• Lowland Participation in the Irredentist ‘Highlands Liberation Movement’ in Vietnam, 1955-1975 by Noseworthy, William (2013) - William B. Noseworthy - Lowland Participation in the Irredentist ‘Highlands Liberation Movement’ in Vietnam ASEAS 6(1) 1514 Cham nationalism had its roots in the responses to early nineteenth century cam- paigns against Cham peoples, when the Vietnamese emperor Minh Menh (1820-1841) suppressed Cham culture and annexed the last Cham kingdom (C: negar) of Panduran- ga, now Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces, in 1832. Thus, the term Chiem Thanh does not include substantial portions of Cham territory in the province of Quang Binh or the territory deep into the hinterlands of the Annamite Chain, despite evidence that Chams did control this territory (Gafour-Meth, 1991, p. 443; Li, 1998, pp. 80-86, 99-116, 139-158; Ngo Si Lien, 2010, pp. Keywords: aseas; cham; champa; french; fulro; government; highland; history; khmer; kosem; les; liberation; lowland; movement; nguyen; participation; peoples; press; relations; south; vietnam; vietnamese

• Community Tenure Rights and REDD+: A Review of the Oddar Meanchey Community Forestry REDD+ Project in Cambodia by Yeang, Donal (2012) - Thus, it is largely recognised that the success of REDD+ will depend on the support of forest communities and indigenous peoples (e.g. Cotula & Mayers, 2009; Hatcher & Bailey, 2009; Yeang, 2010). The secondary goals include supporting the implementation of the national community forestry programme, securing long- term tenure rights for forest dependent communities, responding to rural livelihood needs, conserving biodiversity, and supporting hydrological regimes (Poffenberger, De Gryze, & Durschinger, 2009).

About 60 percent of mining operations in the Philippines take place in ancestral domains2 and often with- out the consent of the affected communities, which fall victim to displacement and numerous human rights violations, such as arbitrary detention, persecution, killings of community representatives, demolition of houses, destruction of property, rape, and forced recruitment (Brawner Baguilat, 2011).

• Double Inequity? The Social Dimensions of Deforestation and Forest Protection in Local Communities in Northern Cambodia by Pasgaard, Maya; Chea, Lily (2013) - While the Sub-decree on CF management states that Cambodian citizens liv- ing within the participating communities can be members, it also lists the roles and duties of community forestry members, including participation in forest resources management, in monitoring the use of community forest resources, and in conserv- ing, protecting, and planting the forest (RGC, 2003). Threats to an Equitable Distribution of Benefits The risk of social exclusion from forest benefits has been studied and documented in various forest conservation projects, indicating problems with elite capture and exclu- sion of certain groups (Edmunds & Wollenberg, 2003; Dahal, Larson, & Pacheco, 2010).

• Self-identified Feminists Among Gender Activists and Scholars at Indonesian Universities by Qibtiyah, Alimatul (2010) - In terms of inheritance, Indonesian women have been able to inherit land and other property; however, certain African women have been able to inherit only houses and other property but not land, since production from the fields is reserved for male offspring (Goody, 1976).

Timorese women accepted that the struggle for women’s rights established in the early 1970s was not possible during their long war, but the struggle depended upon women’s substantial contributions and sacrifices therefore creating a pool of highly skilled and motivated women who no longer accepted the status quo.

• The new politics of debt in the transition economy of Vietnam by To Nguyen, Hong-Kong; To Nguyen, Viet-Ha; Vuong, Thu-Trang; Ho, Manh-Tung; Vuong, Quan-Hoang (2019) - The prob- lem of financial debt is more acute at the macro level in developing countries: the financial crises in, for example, Nicaragua, Morocco, Pakistan, and India, were linked to the uncontrolled expansion of microfinance (Chen, Rasmussen, & Reille, 2010; Lascelles, Mendelson, & Rozas, 2012). When looking at household indebtedness in rural Vietnam, one study has noted a high incidence of indebtedness in the period between 2007 and 2011 such that up to 76% of Vietnamese households had taken out at least one loan, and the trend of tak- ing out multiple loans rose steadily and peaked in 2011 (Chichaibelu & Waibel, 2018).

• Impeded Migration as Adaptation: COVID-19 and Its Implications for Translocal Strategies of Environmental Risk Management by Stange, Gunnar; Pagogna, Raffaella; Sterly, Harald; Sakdapolrak, Patrick; Borderon, Marion; Schraven, Benjamin; Serraglio, Diogo Andreola (2023) - These situations pose different threats and stresses to translocal social livelihoods, they prompt dif- ferent strategies by the migrants and their (rural) households in places of origin, and thus require different forms of political action for support or relief. IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY MAKING The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted – at least temporarily – in more restrictive immigration processes, disrupted translocality, and related hardships. Third, there is still lit- tle detailed empirical knowledge about the different ways in which the pandemic affects translocal social livelihood systems around the world, albeit there is growing evidence that it does so.

• Language and De-/Escalation of Conflict in Aceh, Indonesia by Udasmoro, Wening; Kunz, Rahel (2025) - This violence was largely attributed to the disconnection between the soldiers, who communicated in formal and standard Indonesian, and the local residents, who employed a mix of local Acehnese language and Indonesian language, either out of choice or because they did not speak Indonesian. The sense of otherness fostered through language use can be a sig- nificant driver of conflict escalation.

• Conversations with Thaksin - From Exile to Deliverance: Thailand’s Populist Tycoon Tells His Story by Jones, William J. (2013) - With campaign posters saturating the landscape and displaying slogans such as “Thaksin thinks, Phuea Thai acts”, as well as periodic reports of Skype cabinet meetings with Thaksin orchestrating party politics as mediation in policy, there is no doubt that the ex-Prime Minister is very much involved in Thai politics, albeit from afar. The author’s elaboration on personal notes of what it is like to be in ex- ile, traveling as a luxurious vagabond, and the very personal politics of the region are of interest regarding the conception of Thai politics since Thaksin’s exile.

History of Aid to Laos: Motivations and Impacts. by Schippers, Lan-Katharina (2011) - Phraxayavong’s critical stance towards foreign aid is made clear by the following statement: “Foreign aid has therefore been a force for anti-development in that it retards growth through reduced savings and worsens income inequalities” (p. 41).

• Capturing Singapore’s ‘Little India’: The Search for Identity in Traditional Photo Studios by Ryniewicz, Kuba; Bothe, Christian (2011) - The proximity of these studios to Singapore’s spatial testimonials of modernity makes the appearance of traditional photo studios even more superficial and has them constitute a kind of borderland/zone not only between different economic and cultural logics but also between progress and past, digital vs. analogue era and techniques. There are not many cultures like the Indian one where folk and visual documents are so firmly connected to the photographic industry, making photo studios and their products strong rich symbols and carriers of cultural identity.

• Book Review: Ear, S. (2013).

• Book Review: Wintle, C. (2013). Colonial Collecting and Display. Encounters With Material Culture From the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. by Kóczán-Vörös, Viola (2014) - This reception was formed by three major factors: by the pictorial depictions of this Asian colony on the pages of the Illustrated London News (ILN), by the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in 1886 where the Nicobar and Andaman Islands were brought to the fore as a curiosity, and finally by Arthur Conan Doyle’s popular Sherlock Holmes novella The Sign of Four (1890).

• Science on the Move: The 7th EuroSEAS Conference in Lisbon in 2013 by Seixas, Paulo Castro (2013) - Although research on international conferences has increased lately (e.g. Cutting, 1995; Green, 2008; Drife, 2008; Ngamsom & Beck, 2000; Olsen, 2004), analyses focused on motivations and constraints of attending an ISC and the economics of the event itself rather than a thick analysis of the role of ISCs in the global cultural dimensions and the scientific system in this context. The conscience of the economic relevance of international conferences creates two para- doxical trends: a) the continuous scattering creation of new ISCs as a way to promote science production poles and b) continuous attempts to captivate, even to institu- tionalize in a certain locale, the ISC which already represents a brand. Keywords: conference; euroseas; isc; lisbon; science

• Book Review: Samuels, A. (2019). After the Tsunami: Disaster Narratives and the Remaking of Everyday Life in Aceh. by Paredes Grijalva, Daniela (2020) - The book focuses on how people speak, or remain silent, about the tsunami and its aftermath, and adds important insights to the anthropological study of disasters by exploring how subjectivities are constructed through disaster narratives. The author has revealed a series of paradoxes and ambiguities that infuse post-disaster life: that people in Aceh have an immense capacity to remake life in the face of immense loss; that both remembering, as in prayers and monuments, as well as forgetting, as in traumatic experiences, are necessary for the process of griev- ing; and that the tsunami can be framed both as misfortune (musibah) and as divine wisdom (hikmah).

• Intimidation Versus Inclusion: New Strategies in Indonesian Election Campaigning by Altmeyer, Vera (2014) - While Indonesian election campaigns are typically complex and may involve a wide range of other strategies as well, the abovementioned should be recognized rather as standard features than exceptions – especially when a powerful and rich in- cumbent is seeking reelection.

Keywords: basuki; campaign; campaigning; fauzi; jokowi; nara

• Vaccine Hesitancy and the Cultural Politics of Trust in the Dengvaxia Controversy: A Critical Discourse-Ethnographic Study of Online News Content, Producers, and Audiences by Mendoza, Karl Patrick (2020) - However, the media is rarely theorized within the trust studies literature as trust research has mostly focused on the structuring of trust culture or “system trust” at the macrosocial level (Giddens, 1990; Luhmann, 1979; Misztal, 1996) and the micro-level construction of trust relationships between trustors and trustees across various domains such as business, management, demo- cratic governance, healthcare, and law, among others (Barber, 1983; Lewis & Weigert, 1985; Mollering, 2006; Seligman, 1997; Sztompka, 1999). For this purpose, the research adopts the theory of social trust propounded by the Polish sociologist Piotr Sztompka and links it to the study of news media using crit- ical discourse analysis.

• Book Review: Lwin, S. M.(2010). Narrative Structures in Burmese Folk Tales. by Bódis, Zoltán (2016) - Folktale research in Central-Europe took the first steps toward the interpretation of folktales in the postmodern period when tales were no longer interpreted as being a historical archive or a network of narrative structure but a kind of socio-cultural phe- nomenon in which text production and reception governed by interpretative tenden- cies gave a new color to folktale research. By using the most important theoretical outcomes of modern text centered folktale research it provides the possibility for the Burmese tales, and tales in general as a complex genre, to become worthy of attention even for the postmodern approach – an approach focusing on orality, multidimensionality, and performativity. Keywords: folktale; lwin; research; tales
