Sites, Bodies and Stories examines the intimate links between
history and heritage as they have developed in postcolonial
Indonesia. Sites discussed in the book include Borobudur in Central
Java, a village in Flores built around megalithic formations, and
ancestral houses in Alor. Bodies refers to legacies of physical
anthropology, exhibition practices and Hollywood movies. The
Stories are accounts of the Mambesak movement in Papua, the
inclusion of wayang puppetry in UNESCO's List of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and subaltern history as written by
the people of Blambangan in their search for national heroes.
Throughout the book, citizenship entitlement figures as a leitmotif
in heritage initiatives. Contemporary heritage formation in
Indonesia is intrinsically linked to a canon of Indonesian art and
culture developed during Dutch colonial rule, institutionalized
within Indonesia's heritage infrastructure and in the Netherlands,
and echoed in museums and exhibitions throughout the world. The
authors in this volume acknowledge colonial legacies but argue
against a colonial determinism, considering instead how
contemporary heritage initiatives can lead to new interpretations
of the past.
