In 1996, Emma Baulch went to live in Bali to do research on youth
culture. Her chats with young people led her to an enormously
popular regular outdoor show dominated by local reggae, punk, and
death metal bands. In this rich ethnography, she takes readers
inside each scene: hanging out in the death metal scene among
unemployed university graduates clad in black T-shirts and ragged
jeans; in the punk scene among young men sporting mohawks, leather
jackets, and hefty jackboots; and among the remnants of the local
reggae scene in Kuta Beach, the island's most renowned tourist
area. Baulch tracks how each music scene arrived and grew in Bali,
looking at such influences as the global extreme metal underground,
MTV Asia, and the internationalization of Indonesia's music
industry. Making Scenes is an exploration of the subtle politics of
identity that took place within and among these scenes throughout
the course of the 1990s. Participants in the different scenes often
explained their interest in death metal, punk, or reggae in
relation to broader ideas about what it meant to be Balinese, which
reflected views about Bali's tourism industry and the cultural
dominance of Jakarta, Indonesia's capital and largest city. Through
dance, dress, claims to public spaces, and onstage performances,
participants and enthusiasts reworked "Balinese-ness" by
synthesizing global media, ideas of national belonging, and local
identity politics. Making Scenes chronicles the creation of
subcultures at a historical moment when media globalization and the
gradual demise of the authoritarian Suharto regime coincided with
revitalized, essentialist formulations of the Balinese self.
