For the 7th International Indonesia ForumConference we call once again upon scholars of various disciplines toaddress the theme of 'representation' in Indonesia in all its aspects:political, religious, social, cultural, regional, economic, education,communication, law, technology...As 2014 is an election year, representation carries a clear politicalmeaning. However, we challenge scholars to stretch the concept beyondthis element of representation in Indonesia. We invite scholars toexercise their expertise and address the conceptual make-up on howvalues are represented in Indonesia and the mechanisms of thisrepresentation: the concept of democracy and how it evolves, theconcept of justice and how it is applied, the concept of culture andhow it is represented... as well as the representation of elements andgroups in Indonesian society.We also welcome contributions envisioning the concept ofrepresentation in a narrow sense of elements pertaining to specificresearch and disciplines... whether they be elements of religioustheories in Indonesia, or implementation of economic developmentprojects. The Conference aims to explore how various aspects ofsociety are represented and perceived by Indonesians andIndonesianists alike.The 7th International Indonesia Forum Conference will be held in theState Islamic University Sunan Gunung Djati in Bandung from 19-20August 2014.Persons wishing to present papers at the conference are invited tosubmit a short CV and one-page abstract in electronic form (PDF orMSWord) to Dr Frank Dhont and Chris Woodrich at the followingaddresses: frank.dhont@iif.or.id and christopher.woodrich@iif.or.id.All papers will be presented in English.Deadline for submission of abstracts: March 31, 2014.For information on the 7th IIF International Conference and on IIF'sprevious International Conferences and publications seehttp://iif.or.id
