Citizenship in Everyday Life: Exclusion of the Chinese Indonesians By Non-Chinese Indonesians in Bandar Lampung - Indonesia
Abstract
By law, since the fall of Soeharto Chinese Indonesians have been recognized as citizens of Indonesia and not been excluded from formal politics. However, in their everyday lifes they still face exclusion. They are still the targets of ridicule, gossip and rumors, as well discussion and body language that indicates displeasure and suspicion. As such, although Chinese Indonesians are recognized as citizens of Indonesia, they are not apprehended. Exclusion is rarely considered, because it occurs discursively in everyday life. Everyday exclusion is often unobservable, as citizenship theory has never discursively analyzed it even though, everyday exclusion impacts participation and representation. Exclusion is always followed by resistance. As such, every day and discursive resistance are very important to analyze.
Keywords: Apprehension, Citizenship, Discourse, Exclusion, Resistance
