Media, Culture, and Politics in Indonesia is about the institutions
and policies that determine what Indonesians write, read, watch,
and hear. It covers the print media, broadcast radio and
television, computers and the internet, videos, films and music.
This book argues that the texts of the media can be understood in
two broad ways: . as records of a "national" culture and political
hegemony constructed by Suharto's New Order . as contradictory,
dissident, political and cultural aspirations that reflect the
anxieties and preoccupations of Indonesian citizens. Media,
Culture, and Politics, now brought back to life as a member of
Equinox Publishing's Classic Indonesia series, explains what has
escaped state control, not only by self-conscious resistance, but
also because of the ownership patterns, technologies, and modes of
consumption of media texts and institutions. The role of the media
in the downfall of Suharto is examined and the legacy of his New
Order is analyzed. This dynamic and innovative text is suitable for
all students of Indonesian languages and culture, Asian studies,
Southeast Asian studies, cultural studies, media studies, and
contemporary politics. Krishna Sen is Professor of Asian Media and
