Sumario:Larasati elucidates the complex relationships between the dancing body and the Indonesian state since 1965. From late 1965 to early 1966, approximately 1 million Indonesians were killed, arrested, or disappeared as Suharto took control of the nation, implanting his 'New Order' regime, which would rule for the next 30 years. Looking back on the New Order from the context of the present, Larasati interrogates the specific ways in which female dancing bodies have been dealt with by the state: vilified, punished, then replaced with idealised, state aligned bodies.
