This article, based on newly released archival sources in multiple languages, considers their classification and treatment in captivity. In particular, civilian captives and members of the National Liberation Front were often categorised as ‘civil defendants’ by South Vietnam and thus deprived of their rights as POWs, as codified in the Geneva Conventions. Yet, as representatives of a state dealing with both an insurgency and an invasion at the same time, South Vietnamese officials realised the significance of enemy captives. By illustrating the complex policies and practices of prisoner taking and incarceration, this article interprets and explains the gap between civilian and military law and informal and oftentimes self-serving practices on the ground. Thus, the Second Indochina War foreshadowed a global trend of excluding captured irregular combatants from the laws of war.","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":"54 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41257378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing a three-stage approach inspired by Evan Lieberman's nested analysis, this article aims to gain a better understanding of how adaptability to local political contexts matters in determining the vote share of the Islamist Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) at the sub-provincial level. It uncovers that PKS’ electoral mobilisation in non-Javanese regions depends more on whether the party leverages a strong predisposition towards personal votes underpinned by pre-existing clientelistic ties. In contrast, the PKS support base in Java tends to be embedded in specific milieus shaped by deep-seated sociocultural cleavages. The findings thus not only demonstrate the limitations of programmatic, institutionalised parties like PKS in the Indonesian context, but also resonate with a larger body of broader literature on politics in the Muslim world, indicating strategic considerations of local political conditions as an important factor in electoral support for political Islam.","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42752743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on 98 Inquisition cases, this article examines the widespread use of folk magic in colonial Manila, offering new insights into cultural interactions and inviting new reflections on the nature and extent of colonial domination. Folk magic—also known as hechicería—was an important part of cultural life within Spanish communities across the empire in the early modern period. Encompassing a variety of different practices, including the use of love charms, luck charms, spell-casting, and divination, it offered individuals opportunities to mediate their relationships, particularly with members of the opposite sex. These practices connected European folk traditions with Asian knowledge of botany, medicine, and spirituality to fulfil the needs of the Spanish community for magic. At the same time, this blending of Spanish and Asian cultures was subversive of colonial authority. Folk magic practices challenged the progression of ‘pious imperialism’ that pitted Christianity against indigenous traditions, creating spaces of cultural exchange where the balance of power between cultures was more evenly felt than often assumed.","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":"54 1","pages":"220 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49337022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Editorial Foreword","authors":"M. Aung-Thwin","doi":"10.1017/S0022463423000437","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022463423000437","url":null,"abstract":"Ritual, power, and ‘production’ are some of the themes that connect the six research articles featured in this issue. Alexandra Kaloyanides explores ritual and power through a study of the highly ornamented Burmese manuscript known as the Kammavacā, an authoritative text that is conventionally used in important monastic ceremonies. The article examines the process through which the late eighteenth and nineteenth-century Kammavacā emerges as a standardised ritual object and for what it reveals about the local political-economic conditions of Myanmar’s last kingdom, the Konbaung dynasty. Focusing on the visual and material features of over four dozen Burmese Kammavācamanuscripts, the article suggests that the production, decoration, and circulation of these texts constitutes an attempt by the royal court to mobilise protective ‘militarised’ spirits in the wake of an advancing British occupational force that threatened to overwhelm the kingdom. Where Kaloyanides’ article examines the harnessing and distribution of spiritual power by the royal centre, our next article by Edoardo Siani expands this perspective to consider the appropriation of cosmological ideas and ritual practices as they relate to expressions of everyday resistance in contemporary Thailand. Based on ethnohistorical fieldwork conducted between the coup of 2014 and the death of King Bhumibol in 2016, Siani’s study examines how divination is utilised by different stakeholders in contemporary Thai society as expressions of contestation and dissent. While acknowledging that cosmological references and divination practices are often reflective of conservative stakeholders, Siani suggests that Thai diviners continue to provide political actors across the social landscape with the spiritual vocabulary and ritual means to contest and produce sovereign claims to power. Shifting to the sixteenth-century world of the Spanish Philippines, Stephanie Joy Mawson examines a similar contestation between legal, religious, and ritual worlds via 98 Inquisition cases concerning ‘folk magic’ or hechicería, a juridical category denoting a minor religious infraction. Her examination of the interaction of Spanish and Filipino folk practices complicates our understanding of what constitutes the boundary between the local and the foreign by pointing out that the Spanish came to the Philippines with their own ‘folk magic’ practices that intermixed with pre-existing customs. Similar to Siani’s findings in contemporary Thailand, Mawson’s research suggests that these rituals were adopted by elites and commoners alike, drawing the attention and ire of the ruling authorities. While the article illustrates the way Spanish-Mexican folk knowledge was appropriated and produced by local practitioners, this research also considers how Asian botanical, medicinal, and spiritual knowledge was incorporated into Spanish understandings of folk magic. Colonial authorities struggled to repress hechicería practices within the Span","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":"54 1","pages":"173 - 174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48792162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
