Funded Activity Summary

From Mass to Public: Discourses and Representations of Popular Sovereignty in Indonesia. The end of the New Order and transition to more representative government in Indonesia since 1998 have been unruly and violent. The process of political transition has been represented on Australian radios and television screens and has contributed to a perception that Indonesia is in crisis and inherently chaotic. This research aims to show that we can understand this unruliness in part as an outcome of a rapid development of publicness: a desire for public discussion and activity, motivated by values of popular sovereignty, transparency and accountablity in governance which were seen as crucially lacking during the New Order period.
