Lynching, Public Violence, and the Internet in Indonesia

Author(s):  
Laurens Bakker

In this chapter, Laurens Bakker argues that brutal, extralegal violence against individuals or small groups considered as a threat to local society has a long and varied history in Indonesia. Its usage includes extrajudicial killings and mutilations of thieves and other wrongdoers by local communities as well as a more sophisticated application of such violence by local power holders aimed at inspiring fear and obeisance in the population. Bakker argues that Indonesia’s recent transition from a nation ruled by a dictatorial central regime, which made ample use of violence to maintain its grip, to a democracy, in which the role of government power is considerably more regulated, has seen the “regime of fear” strategy also successfully make this transition.

This chapter analyses the performative urban experiences produced by temporary projects and their claim to publicness and openness to local communities. Through a critical discussion of the promises of ‘vibrancy’ and community engagement, it examines the importance of staging in temporary urban spaces, its co-optation and its everyday, contested performative encounters. The chapter draws extensively on participant observations of temporary projects in the Elephant and Castle shopping centre during the last decade before its final closure. The frictions between staged and unexpected urban encounters challenge the celebration of ‘use value’ as inherently beyond commodification. It reveals the need to attend carefully to local power entanglements and to the potential role of temporary uses in solidarity movements against demolition and displacement.

The purpose of writing this article is to find out government policies related to the management of conservation areas based on local wisdom and know the concept of conservation villages based on local wisdom. Based on the discussion results it is known that government policies in the management of conservation areas are regulated in Law Number 5 of 1990 concerning Conservation of Natural Resources Its Biodiversity and Ecosystem are aimed at achieving goals in the field of conservation. However, this Law is centralistic, where the role of government is very dominant, ignoring the rights of local / customary communities (there is no recognition and protection of access to conservation areas and the right to control and use of indigenous / local communities over Natural Resources), as well as the role of pseudo. The concept of a conservation village is an approach to a conservation model that provides opportunities for people living around conservation areas to be actively involved in efforts to manage conservation areas and at the same time as an effort to empower communities based on local wisdom. Programs in the concept of conservation villages cover the forestry and non-forestry sectors.
