While today’s Indonesian democratic government remains committed to the New Order
orthodoxy about the mass killings of 1965, new counter-narratives challenging official
history are emerging in the new media. Applying mixed-methods and multi-sited
ethnography, this study aims to extend our collaborative understanding of the most recent
developments in this situation by identifying multiple online interpersonal stories,
deliberations, and debates related to the case as well as offline field studies in Java and
Bali. Practically and theoretically, we ask how the tragedy of the 1965 killings is contested
in the new media and how social memory plays out in this contestation. The study
finds that new media potentially act as emancipatory sites channeling and liberating the
voices of those that the nation has stigmatized as ‘objectively guilty’. We argue that the
arena of contestation is threefold: individual, public vs. state narrative, and theoretical.
As such, the transborder space of the new media strongly mediates corrective new voices
to fill missing gaps in the convoluted history of this central event of modern Indonesian
history.
