This week, stories about the things we sometimes need to do to get a decent bite to eat. Table Diving by Patrick Mckenzie In our first story, Patrick explores the odd temptation and social taboo of "table-diving"—taking leftover food from strangers' plates. Through his inner thoughts and expert interviews, the episode delves into themes of etiquette, hygiene, and practicality behind the peculiar act of table-diving. To take or not to take—would you dare snatch that chip? Don't worry, human pigeon, your secret's safe with us. Produced by Patrick McKenzie with Supervising Production by Mark Yin. Big Rat by Miles Mazzocato In the next story, Miles tells a story of confronting a community of rats: a symbol of the sacrifices needed for survival. As one weighs the cost of economic stability against the value of joy, the harsh reality of their choices becomes painfully clear. When the pasta is cold, wet, and rosemary can't fix it, maybe it's time to question if survival alone is worth the taste. Around the back by Danielle O'Neal, Inger Kviseth, Doreen Lee and Christina Lu In our third story, Charlie, a performer, shares his weekly adventures of dumpster diving with his partner, Jenny, uncovering treasures like Dutch chocolates and olive oil. Highlighting systemic inefficiencies and hypocrisy of supermarket chains, the story exposes the paradox of food abundance and waste in a world facing hunger. Dumpster dive, gourmet finds; a treasure hunt worth a try. Would you like to get involved in audio storytelling?

Activist Archives: Youth Culture and the Political Past in Indonesia (Duke University Press, 2016) is a book about Indonesian youth activism both before 1998 and after. But it is no ordinary chronological study, a story told in halves with Soeharto’s end days in its interval. Rather, following a cue from her interlocutors, Doreen Lee enfolds the past into the present by attending to how urban activists in the post-New Order and post-reformasi eras have created a sense of belonging here and now by being historically situated. Youth activists don’t just preserve and produce their own collective histories; they identify as the subjects of history, giving rise to powerful impulses to document, record and encode struggle visually and in writing. The activist as archivist, Lee shows, deploys material practices and cultural styles that emphasize the persistent relevance of radical politics even as these politics are at risk of being domesticated, or swept away by newly emergent forces. Her Activist Archives is not only a rich and at times moving ethnographic study of both the potential and ambivalence of youth politics in Southeast Asias most successfully democratized country; it also is exemplary in its careful use of theory to illuminate and enhance case study research on social movements. Doreen Lee joins New Books in Southeast Asian Studies to discuss pemuda fever, the street as archive, the asymmetry of state violence and student counter-violence, and the persistence of youth activism in democratic Indonesia.
