Maskulinitas is a ground-breaking treatment of the representation
of men and masculinity in Indonesian culture, from Suharto's New
Order era to the present. The book includes critical analyses of
Indonesian cultural expressions in literature, cinema, society, and
politics. Drawing on the ideas of Bakhtin, Bourdieu, Maier, and
others, author Marshall Clark explores, with acute insight and a
critical eye, constructions of the masculine in contemporary
Indonesian society. Maskulinitas also challenges the way scholars
of Indonesia have held firm to the categories and frameworks of
gender studies - a field still often equated with women's studies -
while offering fascinating insights into representations and images
of men as engendered and engendering subjects. As a timely addition
to the generally conservative field of scholarship on gender in
Southeast Asia, Maskulinitas demonstrates that gender studies need
to encompass 'the man question, ' especially considering
Indonesia's strongly patriarchal society, where the norms of
feminine subordination and submission are legitimized by the
ideologies of the state and the strictures of religion. Ultimately,
this book challenges the reader with the notion that if the
subordinate status of Indonesian women is to be highlighted and
some sort of gender equality achieved, then the representations,
subjectivities, and practices of Indonesian men must be addressed
