Inhaltsangabe

This volume presents three important themes for the study of Indonesian politics, cultures, and urban space: 1) urban regeneration and collective memory, 2) marginality and the other archives, 3) mood, medium, and media. Readers will find in the collection elements of urban imaginary and practices as represented in essays on community archiving, heritage, spatial experiments, gangsters and hooligans, sex work and sexual violence, youth subcultures, marketplaces, museums, and elite subdivisions. With this, the book offers readers a way to look at how the contributors approach the ever- shifting urban space as a cultural and political arena: how space is represented, produced and contested and how they are implicated in identity formations today and in the past; how individual and collective memories are fixated, disrupted, or catapulted forward by mobility and spatial transformation; how people, landscapes, buildings, movements join forces in transforming self and space, resulting in significant reconfiguration of politics, culture, and memory.

This is an open access book.
