Empowering Kinship to Counter Control on Family Discourse in
Indonesia
Ir. Ivanovich Agusta, Bogor, INDONESIA
Abstracts
Indonesian government constructs a discourse on family during
modernizing Indonesia. A conceptual “father” used to legitimate control of the
regime, as well as “state ibuism” (“state mothering”) to control especially
women. A controlled family discourse used around political sphere on national
election, public administration, family planning, school, etc. State
bureaucrats placed at national, provincial, regency, and village levels to
control a nuclear family (Westernized type of family pushed for local people).
Countering the dominant discourse, local family still integrates kinship based
on women power. The actual and discourse of local kinship used for constructing
local economy and local politics.
