The Urbanism of Exception
This book argues that understanding global urbanism in the twenty-first century requires us to cast our gaze upon vast city-regions without an urban core.
Renegotiating Boundaries
For decades almost the only social scientists who visited Indonesia’s provinces were anthropologists. Anybody interested in politics or economics spent most of their time in Jakarta, where the action was. Our view of the world’s fourth largest country threatened to become simplistic, lacking that essential graininess. Then, in 1998, Indonesia was plunged into a crisis that could not be understood with simplistic tools. After 32 years of enforced stability, the New Order was at an end. Things began to happen in the provinces that no one was prepared for. Democratization was one, decentralization another. Ethnic and religious identities emerged that had lain buried under the blanket of the...
Indonesian Students in Cairo
Il y a dans l'islam une relation étroite entre les voyages et l'acquisition du savoir. Cet ouvrage analyse le rôle que l'Université et la mosquée al-Azhar (l'un des plus importants centres d'enseignement religieux de l'islam) ont joué et jouent toujours dans la formation des groupes intellectuels, politiques et religieux les plus influents de l'Indonésie ; il étudie plus précisément les échanges d'étudiants musulmans entre l'Indonésie et l'Égypte.

The Changing Consumer Cultures of Modern Egypt
This book consists of a collage of images that attempts to convey the transformation of consumer culture and how it is related to the urban reshaping of the city of Cairo to meet with the demands of globalisation. Analyzing the shift from socialist economy to the opening up of Egypt’s economy, and how this has affected everyday life of the middle classes, the author touches on various themes such as the general changing lifestyles and conspicuous consumption, the spread of mobile phones, and coffee shops, the gated communities and secondary resorts. The “folklorisation of culture” through the flowering tourist industry, the expansion of local crafts, plastic surgery and the body as a site of consumption are all analysed. Although being influenced by the discourse of the Frankfurt school on the culture industry, this work attempts to highlight the paradoxes pertaining to the democratising effects of consumer culture without denying the growing flagrant class polarisation.
