Finding good ethnographies for my S

Finding good ethnographies for my Southeast Asia anthropology course at St. Olaf
College is always a challenge. I look for books that are rigorous, well written, and that fit
with the historical materials on my syllabus. There are wonderful books out there, but many
suffer from the challenges characteristic of anthropological writing – they assume too much
prior knowledge, overuse technical jargon, and/or focus too narrowly to sustain undergraduate
interest. How fortunate, then, to find Karen Strassler’s 2010 book Refracted Visions:
Popular Photography and National Modernity in Java (Duke University Press).
is a history of photography in Indonesia, but it is also much more than
that. Strassler works in the subfield of visual anthropology, an approach that investigates the
cultural organization of a visual landscape. In short, visual anthropologists ask, what are the
peculiarities of our ways of seeing? How are our perceptions shaped by historical developments,
political power, and categories like “insider” and “outsider”? In her book, Strassler
addresses such questions while emphasizing how technology shapes visual habits in
Indonesia. She renders sophisticated theoretical insights and careful ethnographic research
in elegant prose.
Strassler’s book comprises six substantive chapters along with an analytical introduction
that details her theoretical interests and a brief epilogue about digital photography. The core
chapters each examine a different genre of Indonesian photography and give the book its
chronological structure. The genres Strassler analyzes include colonial-era landscape photography,
early nationalist photo studio backdrops, state identification photos, 1970s and
80s family photographs, and student photography in the 1990s protests that brought down
Suharto’s New Order. Her last chapter is more formally ethnographic, examining the beautifully
complex use of photography in an amateur history museum. As fits the subject matter,
the book is lavishly illustrated with 127 photographs. From the cover image to the photos
that serve as epigraphs to each chapter, the visuals work to train the eye of the reader, leading
us into Strassler’s ways of seeing.
Strassler’s anthropological methodology blends both ethnographic and archival research.
Set in the central Javanese court city of Yogyakarta, her research sites include expected locations
like photography studios and the weekend outings of photography clubs, but some of
her choice insights come from serendipitous encounters with either photographs or photographers.
Friends show Strassler their cherished photos and tell the stories that go with them.
Studio photographers dig out dusty old backdrops in their shops and share with Strassler
the albums full of customers. Most critically, Strassler’s research coincides with the dramatic
events of 1998, where photographic evidence proved crucial testimony to the violence of the
tottering New Order regime. Strassler confidently shifts between these different modes of
research, versed as she is in the concepts of visual anthropology and the complex dynamics
of central Java.

Menemukan etnografi yang baik untuk kursus antropologi Asia Tenggara saya di St. Olaf
College adalah selalu sebuah tantangan. Saya mencari buku-buku yang ketat, baik tertulis, dan yang cocok
dengan materi sejarah pada silabus saya. Ada buku-buku yang indah di luar sana, tapi banyak
menderita tantangan karakteristik penulisan antropologi - mereka menganggap terlalu banyak
pengetahuan, jargon teknis berlebihan, dan / atau fokus terlalu sempit untuk mempertahankan sarjana
bunga. Betapa beruntungnya, kemudian, untuk menemukan 2.010 buku dibiaskan Visions Karen Strassler ini:
. Populer Fotografi dan Modernitas Nasional di Jawa (Duke University Press)
adalah sejarah fotografi di Indonesia, tetapi juga jauh lebih dari
itu. Strassler bekerja di subbidang antropologi visual, pendekatan yang menyelidiki
organisasi budaya lanskap visual. Singkatnya, antropolog visual yang bertanya, apa
kekhasan cara kita melihat? Bagaimana persepsi kita dibentuk oleh perkembangan sejarah,
kekuasaan politik, dan kategori seperti "orang dalam" dan "luar"? Dalam bukunya, Strassler
membahas pertanyaan seperti sementara menekankan bagaimana teknologi membentuk kebiasaan visual
Indonesia. Dia menjadikan wawasan teoritis canggih dan penelitian etnografi-hati
dalam prosa elegan.
Buku Strassler ini terdiri dari enam bab substantif bersama dengan pengenalan analisis
yang detail kepentingan teoritis dan epilog singkat tentang fotografi digital. Inti
bab masing-masing memeriksa genre yang berbeda dari fotografi Indonesia dan memberikan buku yang
struktur kronologis. Genre analisis Strassler termasuk era kolonial landscape fotografi,
awal nasionalis latar belakang studio foto, foto identifikasi negara, tahun 1970-an dan
80-an foto-foto keluarga, dan fotografi mahasiswa dalam protes 1990 yang meruntuhkan
Orde Baru Soeharto. Bab terakhirnya adalah lebih formal etnografis, memeriksa indah
penggunaan kompleks fotografi di sebuah museum sejarah amatir. Sebagai sesuai dengan materi pelajaran,
buku ini boros diilustrasikan dengan 127 foto. Dari cover image untuk foto-foto
yang berfungsi sebagai prasasti untuk setiap bab, visual bekerja untuk melatih mata pembaca, memimpin
kita ke cara Strassler untuk melihat.
Metodologi antropologi Strassler ini memadukan kedua penelitian etnografi dan arsip.
Terletak di pengadilan Jawa Tengah kota Yogyakarta, situs penelitiannya meliputi lokasi diharapkan
seperti studio fotografi dan acara pekan klub fotografi, tetapi beberapa
wawasan pilihannya berasal dari pertemuan kebetulan dengan baik foto atau fotografer.
Teman menunjukkan Strassler foto disayangi dan menceritakan kisah-kisah yang pergi dengan mereka.
fotografer Studio menggali latar belakang tua berdebu di toko-toko mereka dan berbagi dengan Strassler
album penuh pelanggan. Paling kritis, penelitian Strassler bertepatan dengan dramatis
peristiwa tahun 1998, di mana bukti foto terbukti kesaksian penting untuk kekerasan dari
rezim Orde Baru terhuyung-huyung. Strassler percaya diri bergeser antara ini modus yang berbeda dari
penelitian, berpengalaman seperti dia dalam konsep antropologi visual dan dinamika kompleks
dari Jawa Tengah.
