Indonesian Exceptionalism: Values and Morals of the Middle Ground

‘Exceptionalism’ is a borrowed political term that implies that a country or entity is somehow special. Indonesia is not small. Indonesia is not poor in cultures, religions, society, or ethnic groups. Indonesia is not unimportant economically, regionally, or politically. Historically, Indonesia has always been an exceptional place. Indonesia as ‘imagined community’ continues to be an ongoing process. Various questions that can be raised include: What are relevant Indonesian values and morals for maintaining Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global world? What is religion’s contribution to forming agreed values and ethics? To what extent is there an Indonesian contribution in balancing Islamic values and democratic practices? How do religious values impact the ethics of state governance?

Asian societies of the South-East: continuity and change

General seminar of the South East Asia centre

En croisant approches historiques, anthropologiques, sociologiques, géographiques et économiques, ce séminaire s’attachera à mettre en évidence les permanences dans les différentes manières de faire société en Asie du Sud-Est. Il s’emploiera également à interroger les mutations (colonisation, exode rural, développement économique, émergence de nouvelles classes...) qu’ont connues ou connaissent les différents groupes sociaux et à repérer ruptures communes ou au contraire évolutions singulières dans la région.

Emerging Moral Economies in Southeast Asia. Exploring the Symbolic & Material Dimensions of “New Economies”

Like other regions of the world, South-East Asia has, since the mid-1980s, seen the rise of a new “spirit of capitalism”, linked to the growth of a middle class. Various religious mass-organizations have developed new discourses on wealth and innovative techniques of financing. At their helm, we often find charismatic figures who are responding to the demands of those in search of meaning in an increasingly de-structured modern urban life setting. In doing so, these actors operate on a “spiritual marketplace” characterized by great fluidity and competition. This conference is to look at the different ways through which tensions between religious ethics and economic rationalization are negotiated, both ideologically and institutionally.
