In Martial Arts and the Body Politic in Indonesia Lee Wilson offers
an innovative study of nationalism and the Indonesian state through
the ethnography of the martial art of Pencak Silat. Wilson shows
how technologies of physical and spiritual warfare such as Pencak
Silat have long played a prominent role in Indonesian political
society. He demonstrates the importance of these technologies to
the display and performance of power, and highlights the
limitations of theories of secular modernity for understanding
political forms in contemporary Indonesia. He offers a compelling
argument for a revisionist account of models of power in Indonesia
in which authority is understood as precarious and multiple, and
the body is politically charged because of its potential for
transformation.
