Abstract

This paper seeks to show how a city such as Jakarta both shape and is shaped by three overlapping forces within which it is embedded. They are the creative destruction of capitalism, the violence of state categories in managing population, and the force of the vernacular environment or kampung in constituting the power of the city. Each force has its temporal rhythm with different cadences in chronological time. The interaction of these three forces constitutes a web of structure that shapes the power of the city. I end with an urban imagining of the current (city) government who works in the field of these three forces.
