The Politics of Heritage in Indonesia

Au contact quotidien des populations, chargés des tâches les plus diverses, sous des dénominations très variables, ils jouaient cependant pleinement leur rôle dans la « mission civilisatrice de l’homme blanc ». Cet ouvrage entend montrer quelle fut leur contribution à l’émergence d’un nouveau mode de gestion colonial des populations, des années 1750 à la veille de la Grande Guerre. De Buenos Aires à Sydney, en passant par Rio, Montréal, Bombay, Le Cap ou Batavia, du Suriname aux Indes néerlandaises, les contributions réunies ici retracent l’histoire des forces de l’ordre des empires coloniaux européens, l’intense circulation des pratiques, des conceptions policières et des hommes au sein des empires. Loin d’être la projection des structures des polices métropolitaines, les polices des territoires coloniaux ont été des terrains d’expérimentation...

These moral geographies of “Greater India” are still current in universities, museums, textbooks, and popular culture across the world. This article explores, for the period from the 1890s to the 1960s, how networks of scholars, intellectuals, and art collectors linking Indonesia, mainland Asia, and the West helped shaping these moral geographies and enabled the inclusion of predominantly Islamic Indonesia. It contributes to recent debates on the role of religion and affections in Orientalism by following object-biographies and focusing on knowledge exchange via the networks they connected, and by exploring the possibilities, violence, and limits of cultural understanding as objects travel from their sites of origin to elsewhere in the world.

The failure of the police to prevent robberies in Madiun had a great deal to do with fragmentary police systems. The solution ultimately chosen by the colonial state – mass arrests and imprisonment – was a question preserving prestige: that of the state as well as of the Javanese elite.

Indonesians2 formed the majority (96 percent) of the modern police force that operated in the Dutch East Indies during the 1920s and 1930s, and most of them filled the lower ranks. To them, service as a 3 Frederick Cooper, Colonialism in Question: Theory, Knowledge, History (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2005), p. 115. 4 Wedana was a rank in the local indigenous administrative corps, or pangreh praja, as well as a specific position, namely that of district chief.

The spas are an integral part of a New Asian Lifestyle of the local well-to-do, emphatically proclaiming the virtues of slow traditional food, the natural and the authentic. The topic of cleanliness presented in this book is part of a new trend in bringing sensory history to the field of Southeast Asian Studies. The sources are manifold. They include travel books old and new, anthropological and medical studies, ego-documents, Southeast Asian traditional and modern literature, brochures, eyewitness accounts, laws, newspaper stories, advertisements, images, and song texts. It shows how cleanliness of body and spirit is integral to individual and group identity and the conception of the other.
