Abstract

This chapter sets out to compare the motifs arising in findings from research on Indonesian punks with the recurrent themes from research on punks in China. Jim Donaghey’s (2016) ethnographic research in Indonesia in 2012 and 2015 (alongside research in Poland and the UK) focused on the relationship between anarchism and punk. Some of the key areas in which this locally contingent experience of punk, activism, and resistance in Indonesia are manifested are the politics of punk space, DIY gigs and music production/distribution, and the particular forms of repression faced by Indonesian punks and the ways in which they respond.
