Not only the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA and postulates like the ?clash of civilizations? (Huntington, 1996) but also a general growth of worldwide interrelations affecting all aspects of life and society, have contributed to an increased public interest in how the ?West? is perceived by the ?East? and in particular how the ?West? is perceived by ?Islam?. In this context, Indonesia has attracted international attention due to the Bali bombings in 2002, making the country, which has the world?s largest Muslim population (and is the largest Muslim-majority democracy), part of the so-called ?axis of evil? overnight. Yet, even though a social development in the direction of conservative interpretations of Islam can be observed, equating Indonesia exclusively with Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism is unjustified. read more

One day during December 2010 two new signs appeared on the roadway at each of the main entrances leading into Kamasan village. Consisting of a painted signboard hung between two metal poles and suspended high above the passing traffic, they differed little from the many road signs around the country which mark the spatial boundaries between villages, cities, districts and provinces. The text painted in white on a green background visible to persons entering into the village simply announced the name of the village, Desa Kamasan (Kamasan Village), while the message on the reverse, visible to those departing, read Desa Kamasan Jangan Dilupakan (Don?t Forget Kamasan Village). read more
