This paper explores the concept of ‘speaking beyond trauma’ insocieties undergoing post-war reconstruction and recovery after decades ofcolonization and violence. It examines inequalities in the production ofknowledge and the re-colonization of knowledge economies dominated by wellfunded ‘experts’. It draws contrasts with the precarious lives ofunderfunded local knowledge producers, especially musicians and artists, whosecompositions transcend methodological nationalisms. The focus of this paper ison the tactile aspect of practising and playing music: perceived by, connectedwith, appealing to the sense of touch, producing the effect of solidity. Thepaper examines how music can weave, repair, connect, disconnect and reconnectpeople and affective communities of belonging in a society shattered bycolonization, war and ongoing conflicts.

This paper is an ethnographic study of dance traditions and martial arts training in rural upland mountain communities and the urban capital, Dili, in Timor Leste, and how ‘speaking beyond trauma’ is articulated through body movements. It explores the relationship between individual body movement and socio-political–ecological movements, both at the level of the local (rural villages) and the global (global governance outfits). It examines the intersection/s between indigenous traditional Timorese dances (such as soro tais, sau batar, foti raba, likurai, bidu, tebedai, tebe-tebe and other dances) and external ideational influences brought in by the presence of UN Peacekeeping and Police and international aid workers (including aikido martial arts). What do dance traditions tell us about the resilience of cultural identity in a post-war, post-revolutionary, post-conflict environment? What kinds of impact do external ideational influences, including martial arts forms, have on local communities? How are gender systems and gender relations in the community transformed? It suggests that embodiment and local knowledges formed through practices and regimens of bodily discipline, grace and physical training (such as in ritual, martial arts and performing arts, for example), can complement and/or challenge abstract theoretical writings on ‘embodying peace’ in post-war countries.

Jacqueline Siapno is the author of "Gender, Islam, Nationalism and the State in Aceh: The Paradox of Power, Co-optation, and Resistance (Routledge Curzon 2002). Co-founder of: International Forum for Aceh with the late Jafar Siddiq Hamzah from Lhokseumawe. Field researcher for the report: " Shock Therapy: Restoring Order in Aceh, 1989–1993. " (Amnesty International 1993) : "Alue Rambe, a rural village in Aceh, at the epicenter of one of the world's richest oil and gas fields, is the setting of Blood Moon over Aceh. This elegant, nuanced translation of a beautifully written, insightful, powerful novel on a horrific topic reflects on the lives of Acehnese who have been silenced. Nur writes about the loneliness, isolation, and grief. His work gives voice to the untold stories of kidnappings, normalized terror, and military atrocities designed to shock civilians into silenced fear. Breaking through a historical amnesia, Nur's work joins a growing chorus of poets, historians, filmmakers, scholars, and global environmental rights lawyers producing new knowledge about the same phenomena from different angles, all calling for justice. Blood Moon over Aceh shows what happens when private greed and multinational corporations go unchecked and work with public institutions in the Indonesian state and military to create public policies that destroy the environment and the lives of ordinary citizens."

"This book sets out to open up the space for the interpretation of history and politics in Aceh, which is now in a state of armed rebellion against the Indonesian government. It lays out a groundwork for analysing how female agency is constituted in Aceh, in a complex interplay of indigenous matrifocality, Islamic belief and practices, state terror, and political violence.
The book provides a historical ethnographic, literary, and politico-economic analysis of the competing, contradictory, and paradoxical configurations of gendered struggles for power, Islamic identity, nationalism, militancy, activism, and piety in Aceh. Analysts of the current conflict in Aceh have tended to focus on present events. This book provides a historical analysis of power, co-optation, and resistance in Aceh and links it to broader comparative studies of gender, Islam, and the state in Muslim communities throughout the world."

Abstract:
What would happen if Thai, Cambodian, and Laotian scholars became the knowledge-producers, experts, and advisers `reading’ the political situation in Quebec? How, for example, would International Observers from Southeast Asia observe and analyze the upcoming Canadian Elections on Oct. 19 -- from a comparative perspective? How do East Timorese guerrillas `read’ and interpret Canadian foreign policy towards Indonesia during its occupation of East Timor? How would Odahwah Natives read being wiped-out of signification from `Ottawa’? How do Filipinos in Canada research and write about their `invisibility’ and citizenship? Does class, privilege, race, gender, positionality, and cultural background play a strong part in shaping our worldview and knowledge-production? How do we `know’ what we know? What are the `hidden forces’ (methodologies, paradigms, and sources) that shape our knowledge production? Twenty-six years ago, I became `almost Canadian’. Sometimes it takes people from the `outside’ to make you realize something new that has been under your nose for so long, something nobody living the everyday of a particular community ever questioned because it felt `so natural’. This paper examines the problem of power and inequalities in the production of knowledge between Canada (and the U.S., Europe, Australia more generally) and Southeast Asia, including the weakness of language-based research and the continuing domination of a `rule of experts’ and specific forms of knowledge-economies. The simple fact of reversing the gaze invites self-questioning and thinking about our own gaze and the people/societies we are `studying’, whatever our field, by suddenly having ourselves and our society be the `object of scrutiny’. What kinds of new methods of international cooperation and `engagement’ without domination can possibly emerge then?

This course is an exploration of the concept and history of "wilderness" and its relationship to humans. We will begin by asking what "wild" and "wilderness" mean in different historical and comparative contexts globally, and amongst different kinds of "humans" globally. Grounding ourselves in Indigenous belief systems and practices in different parts of the world, where for some, "wilderness" is "home", we will examine the entrenchment of imperialism and settler colonialism, "discoveries" of places, de-colonization, and the counter-narrative histories and rise of movements for environmental and climate justice in the global South. These themes will be introduced through primary sources, works of fiction, scholarly articles, and praxis (practice & theory). The course has a hiking, field trip, research, guest speakers, and writing/journaling

New Course on Southeast Asian History and Cultures, GSS 27, Winter 2023, UC San Diego
This course is an introduction to the histories and cultures of Timor Leste (East Timor), the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Grounding ourselves in the classical matriarchal, matrilineal, matrifocal societies of Southeast Asia, we will pay particular attention to indigenous belief systems and practices, sexuality, the entrenchment of European and American imperialism, the rise of Southeast Asian nationalism, the Cold War, genocide, developments in movements for social change, including environmental and climate justice, workers' movements, and articulations of female power in Southeast Asian rituals, texts, art, textiles, food, music, dance, and performing arts.
We will analyze the important role of history, especially ideas of power and theories of change, and how they are contested in Southeast Asia and Global South diasporas today.
These themes will be introduced through primary sources, works of fiction, and scholarly articles. The course has a research component - methodologies for conducting original research, use of library collections, and primary sources.
