Jim Siegel, Cornell, Indonesia, Beyond

Abstract: I encountered Jim Siegel soon after arriving as an outsider to the Cornell Southeast Asia scene in 1985. This essay reflects on the tension between approaching Indonesia as an anthropologist and anthropology as an Indonesianist, on Siegel's ethnographic use of Derrida, and the impact this experience had on my own work.
