Title<\/strong>: A Quiet Revolution: Cultivating Mindset Change in Urban Malaysia
\nSpeaker<\/strong>: Goh Beng-Lan <\/p>\n

This presentation uses ethnographic, online and secondary research conducted over the past decade to explore creative resistance against ethno-religious bigotries in three societal arenas, namely, popular religion, artistic practices and citizenry initiatives. While seemingly disparate, these rejections of ethno-religious dogmas are nonetheless united by a mode of protest that is configured by the intersection of social media and a creative play of symbolism, metaphor, and image. All in all, they stimulate new and open ways of interrogating, expressing, and minimizing ethno-religious differences that strike powerful cords with fellow Malaysians. By analyzing the atypical actors, sites and methodologies of resistance associated with these actions, this presentation considers mindset change as a basis to renew radical politics in contemporary Malaysia<\/p>\n
