- Abstract
In this lecture, Lusvita focuses on how Indonesian Muslim fans negotiate and express their religious and gender identitiesthrough their involvement in the global and dynamic K-pop fandom culture. Situating the study within historical trajectories of Indonesian pop music scenes against the social and cultural changes in Indonesia post-1998, Lusvita attempts to analyze the ways in which contemporary, urban Indonesian Muslim women balance, contextualize and create a coherent identity amidst the hegemony of the contradictory influences brought by fandoming K-pop, a non-Muslim pop music flow.
