Santoso, Vinsensius, “Harga Industrialisasi Sektor Migas. Semburan Lumpur Lapindo sebagai Potret Kelemahan Negara dalam Menghadapi Korporasi Ekstraktif Hidrokarbon,” CSR Review, Mei-Juni 2007, 4-9.
Semburan lumpur panas terjadi karena praktek ceroboh operator pertambangan migas di Kecamatan Porong yang direncanakan oleh pihak pemerintah dan korporasi, tetapi tidak pernah diketahui oleh publik. Bahkan warga Desa Renokenongo baru paham bahwa PT Lapindo Brantas adalah korporasi eksploitasi gas alam, setelah semburan lumpur terjadi. Pada tahun 1996, ketika terjadi pembebasan lahan secara masih di Desa Renokenongo, pihak-pihak yang terkait dalam proses pengadaan lahan melakukan kebohongan publik dengan mengatakan perusahaan besar akan membangun peternakan kuda di kawasan tersebut.

Spitulnik, Debra, “Documenting Radio Culture as Lived Experience. Reception Studies & the Mobile Machine in Zambia”, in Richard Fardon & Graham Furniss (eds), African Broadcast Cultures. Radio in Transition, 2000, Oxford: James Currey, pp. 144-163.
The very force and impact … of any medium changes significantly as it is moved from one context to another (a bar, a theater, the living room, the bedroom, the beach, a rock concert …). Each medium is then a mobile term, taking shape as it situates itself – almost always comfortably – within the different roadside rests of our lives. That is, the text located, not only inter textually, but in a range of apparatuses as well, defined technologically but also by other social relations and activities. One rarely just listen to the radio, watches TV, or even goes to the movies – one is studying, dating, driving somewhere else, partying, etc. (Grossberd 1987:34) (More …)

Dowmunt, Tony & Kate Coyer, “Introduction” in Kate Coyer, Tony Dowmunt and Alan Fountain (eds) The Alternative Media Handbook, Routledge:London & New York, 2007, pp. 1-12.
Alternative media activity, which exploits new technical developments for its own ‘different purposes’, is now prevalent at local, national and global levels, ‘opening up cracks in the mass media monolith through which strange flowers grow’ (Waltz 2005:vii). However, this exciting and messy explosion of new forms, new content and different modes of distribution poses a basic question. (Ibid.:2)

We might consider the entire range of alternative and radical media as representing challenges to hegemony, whether on an explicit political platform, or employing the kinds of indirect challenges through experimentation and the transformation of existing roles, routines, emblems and signs that Hebdige (1979) locates at the heart of counter-hegemonic subcultural styles. (Chris Atton 2004:19)

There are contradictory factors, in the whole social development, which make it possible to use some or all of the new technology for purposes quite different from those of the existing social order: certainly locally and perhaps more generally. (William 1974:136)

The crucial challenge in studying these alternative media forms is to situate their production, use, interpretation, and circulation within the larger contexts of available media forms. (Spitulnik 1993:306)

[The mass media] have progressively colonized the cultural and ideological sphere. As social groups and classes live … increasingly fragmented and sectionally differentiated lives, the mass media are more and more responsible (a) for providing the basis on which groups construct an ‘image’ of the lives, meanings, practices, and values of other groups and classes; (b) for providing the images, representations and ideas around which the social totality, composed of all these separate and fragmented pieces, can be coherently grasped as a ‘whole‘.

Defining field of this research is quite blurry since my research focus is not only on what happens in the disaster location, but more specific to the mediated realities in the media. This research project, specifically, will not only cover the discourse of ordinary individuals (victims and NGO activists), but also the public discourse as represented in the media. This research will focus on how different actors are representing and are being represented in these different arenas (private and public places, especially in media). But before I get into that part, let me describe my field, which I divide into two big parts: the evacuation place and the media.

Beginning from May 29, 2006, hot mud erupted in Porong, Sidoarjo as a result of the drilling activities of an oil company, Lapindo Brantas Inc. After two years, the mud eruption still has not stopped, and became a dangerous threat for the people who live in that area because nobody can predict where the eruption will occur and when it will stop.

It’s not about the disaster itself. I understood that Lapindo mud disaster is not merely a environmental problem, but it is a political matter. The root of all problem in Lapindo mudflow after-effect is related to Indonesian politics and the elite’s conflict of interest. (More …)

I’ve done my last two assignment for LISP. But still waiting for the result. Tomorrow I will start the new course, “Image, Media and Public”. I haven’t touch the reading materials for that course. It seems that I’ve read the two articles (Habermas, Transformation of Public Sphere; and Anderson, Imagined Communities), but I still need to read it again. Just to remember what they talk about. For me, talking about media is talking about public sphere and the (re)construction of people’s thought.

I’m redoing my four assignments for LISP (Large Issue, Small Places). Next week I will be entering new course “Image, Media and Public”. Today I got email that announcing the readings for that new course. I remember Indonesian proverb, “Escape from Tiger’s mouth, enter the crocodile’s.”

I’m still confused. I have to fly home on January 2009. But until now, I still haven’t completed my research proposal.
Also I’m still waiting NESO’s reply about their permission on my research in Indonesia. I’ve sent it last week, but still they haven’t replied it. Without their permit, I will not be able to do research in Indonesia. That’s why I still haven’t ordered any flight ticket, even I know that the cheapest ticket will hardly to find if I search it next month. The situation will be more complicated if I already got the ticket but the NESO don’t give permit for me to do research in Indonesia. So just wait and see.
Meanwhile, I haven’t done my research proposal. I’m still configuring the research question. I haven’t decided yet. Too many things that look attractive, but I cannot do them all.

Reading Tsing (2005, Friction) about ‘nature lovers’ is like looking at me in the mirror. I remember my past stories, that was part of this group. I just like to hiking, traveling. But never cross in my mind that this kind of habit has relation with the making of global knowledge of nature. Nowadays, most of the Indonesia youth only wear nature lovers costumes. Such as, backpack, sandal gunung, jacket, trousers, boots, hats, belt, and many more. Nature lovers equipment has become another business that make a lot of profit.
My memory turns back to my high school. I was making money from selling this nature lovers stuff (backpack, wallet, rope, sandals, anything). But now, I have left this habit. I just longing for hiking with my friends. Now my traveling purpose is not the mountains, but Europe.

I got email from the CRCS (center of religious and cultural studies) of Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. They had fellowships for researchers and lectures who want to do post-disaster research which is relevant with my research topic (Lapindo mudflow after-effect). They offer grants from 25 million rupiah to 50 million rupiah. I hope that I can get that grant. The deadline of application still on December 1, 2008. So I still have a month to finish my proposal.
Today, I complete the last assignment for Research Management course. It is about framing ‘the field’ of my proposed study. It’s not an easy job to frame ‘my field’. Now, there are only about 300 households that live in the Porong camp. Before that, there were more than 7,000 households.
On one hand, I am very happy that less people live in the camp. Living as refugee camp is never crossed in their mind. But on the other hand, I have to search for these people, who might live far from the camp. I need them to answer my research questions.
