Abstract This article outlines the film practice of Gotot Prakosa (1955–2015), which he called film pinggiran (film of the edges, excentric film), and its relationships with the hegemony exerted by the Indonesian New Order government in the 1970s and 1980s. By examining Gotot’s film works and extensive reflections on film-making, this article elucidates the dual characteristic of film pinggiran as a spatial and theoretical principle that orientates an excentric drive in the production and circulation of film. The article suggests that the film practice realized both an analysis of, and contradiction to, New Order mass media infrastructures and superstructures, thus engendering an ideological strike on the reproduction of the hegemony of the New Order. Film pinggiran thus does not necessarily ‘push the boundary’ further away; instead, it makes the edge the manifest content itself.

Film Making

Overcoming the regulatory and institutional legacy of the New Order regime has been one of the main ambitions of reformasi. In the film industry, such reform took a back seat to practical efforts film making, resulting in a protracted struggle by filmmakers against censorship and the state agencies responsible for overseeing the film industry. Efforts culminated in the Masyarakat Film Indonesia (MFI) movement which protested the lack of professionalism by returning their Citra Awards before launching a legal challenge to the constitutionality of the Censorship Board in the Constitutional Court. Failing in their bid to abolish censorship, the case precipitated the legislation of a new film law and with it a plethora of new regulations that are adding additional regulatory burdens to filmmakers. In particular, the formation of new representative film bodies complicates the film industry, raising spectres of a return to state over-regulation.

Female performers in Indonesia have long held a socially ambiguous status—maligned for associations with sexual freedom and prostitution, or else revered for their mystical and supernatural powers. Often confined by negative labels, they negotiate identity somewhere between stereotypes attributed to them and one they desire for themselves. This chapter focuses on Waljinah, an Indonesian icon and keroncong’s most renowned vocalist. The trajectory of her career has coincided with an important era of modernization in Indonesia, especially as it searched for ways to unify its diverse population under a “national culture.” Keroncong, considered by early Indonesian nationalists to be a musical lingua franca bridging ethnic groups, continued to have an important role in the post-independence Sukarno era and subsequent New Order regime. As a popular female keroncong vocalist during this period, depictions of Waljinah in print media also reflected state sanctioned ideas about what constituted the “modern Indonesian woman.” This study explores how genderings and gender ideologies were employed through specific types of language and discourse to create differing images of Waljinah while discussing tactics she has used manage and control how she is portrayed in the mass media.

Marketing Approach

The phenomena of general election in 2009 shows that political marketing is an important part of winning thecompetition. This marketing approach has been transparently used since 1999 and continued to 2004. However, its more intensive usecould be seen in the last general election in 2009. It was probably the era of an image industry which force an individual and a party toconstruct their best image in mass media. The more democracy following the fall of New Order enables all political power to competefairly. This condition is in line with the wind of press independence which grows as a developing industry. In relation to the generalelection, mass media can be synergetic with political agents or the candidates. For the media, politics is considered as a product orservice which has a high economical value; and for the politicians, mass media is a means of political communication to raise theirpopularity

The Arab Spring

This article discusses the Arab spring and its effects in Indonesia. The discourse which is related to the Middle East revolution widely being topic in either electronic or printed mass media has showed not only a consti- tutive but also a constituted discourse. It is called constitutive because the Arab spring leads to practices that anticipate the effects or consequences of the turbulence which factually happened in the Middle East. However, it is constituted discourse, for it is created by perceptions that are rooted from social events, social practices, and social structures in Indonesia; that is mainly the experience of a transition from the New Order to the Reform Era which is assumed not too far different.
