SUMMARY:(P31) Identity Politics in Southeast Asia: Decolonial Approaches Toward Constructing the Pluriverse
LOCATION:K10 | 2.39
DESCRIPTION:This panel interrogates the origins and dynamics of recent form
 s of political contention around identity in contemporary Southeast Asia th
 rough a decolonial theoretical lens. The panel adopts a broad interpretatio
 n of political contention that includes oppositional activism, collective a
 ction, social movements or street protests. The panel aims to contribute to
  a deeper understanding of how the coloniality of power and knowledge, a ke
 y concept in the decolonial school of thought, is implicated in recent exam
 ples of political contention over issues of race, religion, gender or sexua
 lity in the postcolonial countries of Southeast Asia. Through the empirical
  examples provided in the papers of this panel, we demonstrate the operatio
 nalisation of the coloniality of power – i.e., the notion that prevailing p
 olitical, economic and social structures of modernity that were formed duri
 ng the era of Western colonialism is constantly being reproduced and update
 d under the rhetoric of modernity and progress in ways that maintain unequa
 l social hierarchies and power differentials in postcolonial countries, eve
 n though explicit colonialism as a political order has long come to an end.
  The panel seeks to answer fundamental questions on why and how these seemi
 ngly intractable identity differences contribute to political contention in
  the different national contexts studied, with some identities favoured whi
 le others marginalised. We also reflect on the benefits and limits of decol
 onial approaches, which emphasise the alterity and multiplicity of knowledg
 e production, in the quest to de-marginalise oppressed groups toward the co
 nstruction of more equal and pluriverse societies. The panel will convene j
 unior and senior scholars of Southeast Asia to address these questions from
  an interdisciplinary perspective.
