Though still a relatively young field, memory studies has undergone
significant transformations since it first coalesced as an area of
inquiry. Increasingly, scholars understand memory to be a fluid,
dynamic, unbound phenomenon-a process rather than a reified object.
Embodying just such an elastic approach, this state-of-the-field
collection systematically explores the transcultural,
transgenerational, transmedial, and transdisciplinary dimensions of
memory-four key dynamics that have sometimes been studied in
isolation but never in such an integrated manner. Memory Unbound
places leading researchers in conversation with emerging voices in
the field to recast our understanding of memory's distinctive
variability.

The disintegration of Indonesia's New Order regime in 1998 and the
fall of Soeharto put an end to the crude forms of centralised
authoritarianism and economic protectionism that allowed large
Chinese conglomerates to dom- inate Indonesia's private sector.
Contrary to all expectations, most of the major capitalist groups,
though damaged considerably by the Asian Crisis, managed to cope
with the ensuing monumental political and economic changes, and now
thrive again albeit within a new democratic environment. In this
book Christian Chua assesses the state of capital before, during,
and after the financial and political crisis of 1997/1998 and
analyses the changing relationships between business and the state
in Indonesia. Using a distinct perspective that combines cultural
and structural approaches on Chinese big business with exclusive
material derived from interviews with some of IndonesiaaEURO (TM)s
major business leaders, Chua identifies the strategies employed by
tycoons to adapt their corporations to the post-authoritarian
regime and provides a unique insight into how state-business
relationships in Indonesia have evolved since the crisis. Chinese
Big Business in Indonesia is the first major analysis of capital in
Indonesia since the fall of Soeharto, and will be of interest to
graduate students and scholars of political economy, political
sociology, economics and business administration as well as to
practitioners having to do with Southeast Asian business and
politics.

Postcolonial Witnessing argues that the suffering engendered by
colonialism needs to be acknowledged more fully, on its own terms,
in its own terms, and in relation to traumatic First World
histories if trauma theory is to have any hope of redeeming its
promise of cross-cultural ethical engagement.
