A manifestation of the extreme perception that emerged amid uncertainty and the challenge to seeing brought on by urban warfare, the street paintings erected by Protestant motorbike-taxi drivers signaled a radical departure from the aniconic tradition of the old colonial church, a desire to be seen and recognized by political authorities from Jakarta to the UN and European Union, an aim to reinstate the Christian look of a city in the face of the country's widespread islamicization, and an opening to a more intimate relationship to the divine through the bringing-into-vision of the Christian god.\u003cbr\u003e Stridently assertive, these affectively charged mediations of religion, masculinity, Christian privilege and subjectivity are among the myriad ephemera of war, from rumors, graffiti, incendiary pamphlets, and Video CDs, to Peace Provocateur text-messages and children's reconciliation drawings. \u003ci\u003eOrphaned Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e theorizes the production of monumental street art and other visual media as part of a wider work on appearance in which ordinary people, wittingly or unwittingly, refigure the aesthetic forms and sensory environment of their urban surroundings. The book offers a rich, nuanced account of a place in crisis, while also showing how the work on appearance, far from epiphenomenal, is inherent to sociopolitical change. Whether considering the emergence and disappearance of street art or the atmospherics and fog of war, Spyer demonstrates the importance of an attunement to elusive, ephemeral phenomena for their palpable and varying effects in the world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eOrphaned Landscapes: Violence, Visuality, and Appearance in Indonesia is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Violence, Visuality, and Appearance   1\u003cbr\u003e Image, Appearance, Figuration, 8 • A Christian\u003cbr\u003e Town, 11 • The Appearance of Crisis, 15 • Matters\u003cbr\u003e of Perception, 18 • Orphaning the Nation, 20 •\u003cbr\u003e Orphaned Landscapes, 23 • A Symptomatology\u003cbr\u003e of Crisis, 28\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Fire without Smoke   33\u003cbr\u003e War's Fog, 36 • Fire without Smoke, 40 • The Thick\u003cbr\u003e of Things, 45 • Soundtracks of War, 52 • Amplifications, 54 •\u003cbr\u003e Anticipatory Practices, 58 • Official Peace, 63\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e Christ at Large   67\u003cbr\u003e Christ at Large, 76 • The Canon in the Street, 79 •\u003cbr\u003e Guardians of the Neighborhood, 88 • Streetwise\u003cbr\u003e Masculinity, 96 • This Face Wants you, 104 • Sighting\u003cbr\u003e the Street, 109\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Images without Borders   113\u003cbr\u003e Painting Christianity, 116 • Landscape I: Christian Enclave,\u003cbr\u003e 127 • Landscape II: Pancasila Jesus, 132 • Landscape III:\u003cbr\u003e Sidewalk Citizenship, 136 • Landscape IV: Witnessing\u003cbr\u003e the End-Time, 146 • Frames at War, 152 • A Frenzy\u003cbr\u003e of the Visible, 154\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e Religion under the Sign of Crisis   157\u003cbr\u003e Times Rich in Demons, 158 • Conversion's Unstable\u003cbr\u003e Alchemy, 161 • Religion under the Sign of Crisis, 163 •\u003cbr\u003e Simplifications, 166 • Terms of Coexistence, 170 •\u003cbr\u003e Symptomatology: Treacherous Things, 176 • Symptomatology:\u003cbr\u003e Treacherous Persons, 180 • Neighbors and Neighborhoods, 184\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eProvoking Peace   191\u003cbr\u003e Spectacles of Reconciliation, 193 • The Child in the Picture,\u003cbr\u003e 199 • Peace Journalism, 214 • Scrolling for Peace, 222\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: Ephemeral Mediations   229\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  233\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  239\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited \u003c\/i\u003e  281\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  299\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580466655512,"sku":"9780823298686","price":104.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/orphaned-landscapes-violence-visuality-and-appearance-in-indonesia-hardback-9780823298686","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
