Indonesia has one of the highest smoking rates in the world - approximately two thirds of Indonesian men are classified as smokers. This is in spite of anti-smoking discourses and tobacco control policies becoming more and more prominent across the globe, at least in many middle and high-income countries.

In this episode of Talking Indonesia Elisabeth Kramer chats with Dr Marina Welker about her new book and deep dive on how multinational tobacco corporations impact the lives of ordinary Indonesians. What kinds of labour - paid, under-paid and unpaid - keep the the kretek industry fabulously profitable in Indonesia?

Marina Welker is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University whose research examines capitalism in Indonesia through the lens of multinational corporations involved in mining and tobacco. Her second book, “Kretek Capitalism: Making, Marketing, and Consuming Clove Cigarettes in Indonesia,” was recently published by the University of California Press and is available for free download as part of its Luminos open access series.

In 2024, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University, Tito Ambyo from RMIT and Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University.

IR Presents: Music Mpulse "Cocktails, Culture, and Commentary with Marlissa Collier"

ela nunca me amou
so me usou pra ficar com meu dinheiro
ela não curte de pudor
geme e grita sem ter dor
fala a lingua do amor
fode bebendo licor
sempre gostou de aventura
ela gosta de ser puta
puta na minha cama
ela fala que me ama
depois na rua se esconde
não me assume pro seu bonde
garota vampiro gosta de fude sigilo
não estraga o escondigo
é o que ela fala
pra rapaziada dos amigo dela
gosta de da na favela 
ela é puta não cadela
com dinheiro ela conversa
mas ninguem me avisou
por isso eu que não sabia
que pra mim não tem valor
a foda ela não cobrou 
ela chupa ate o sangue
quando gosta se garante
vladimir na minha visão
não é vampira em vão
gosta de fude em vão
ela ama meu chupão

ela conversa comigo
sabe quem que é o perigo
garota vampiro
gosta de fuder comigo
morde e chupa minha nuca
to com a marca registrada
ela brinca com as palvra
nois fudeu la na sacada
na sacada dela
gosta que da ordem nela
fode bem e geme alto
ela é alta igual planalto
to movimento os lados da buceta da dela
efeito mandela
ela gemendo igual cadela 
seu trabalho é me da tesao
queria saber aonde voce vai com esses balão
fora sua bunda parecendo um coração

Miranda:
deslizo num carrão 
fudi co a puta sem usa proteção
so déi uns 3 tiro e acabo a munição
testa comigo eu puxo o meu canhão
se não pula na bala não so seu irmão
não me chama de irmão se c pulou do barco
oque é meu, eu fiz sozinho
foi dificil mais eu fiz parece facil
essa grana ela vem e é facil
so uso design eu não fodo com o basico
falo que ia me quebra mal sabe que ele que ja é quebrado
essas drogas elas vem de outro estado
maconha na cuia to sempre chapado
de jaqueta de couro no calor
minha mãe pensa q eu to loco
fudi ca bitch denovo
e quero denovo
quero denovo e denovo
faço mais grana mais novo
me da mais um poco nao me satisfaço com poco
duas beretta sou colt e não o poco
ela que tbt que tudo denovo
que tbt que tudo denovo

henryamla:
essa vadia ta contando as hora
sempre que eu peço ela volta na hora
não perde tempo com nada la fora
ela prioriza os dia da foda
essa vadia marcou de segunda a segunda
pra toma minha pica de lado de frente 
depois do pente do pente que eu dei
a marca ficou estocada na mente da puta cavala inglês 
produto importado essa mina é uma joia pacco rabanne ela tira pra dá sem roupa gostosa com os peito pa fora balança pra me provocar
carburo a blunt pra te provoca
enquanto te fodo com força pra te os motivos pra sempre volta
ela sempre volta na pica do nego que fode te come de 4 no carro de luxo 
tipo a carona do ted essa puta na chapa ela toma de bruço

ela quer tbt (ft'miranda)

ЭНДЕРМЕН + MNC (ИХ НЕ ОСТАНОВИТЬ) "ОНИ ЕБАНУТЫЕ"

SOW feat. zeeper - MNC

когда вокруг нее будет стоять толпа хейтеров, предателей и обманщиков, толпа тех людей, которые будут ненавидеть и осуждать ее, я всегда буду рядом. она почувствует мою любовь и заботу. мою поддержку и тепло. 
Арсен знает как вести себя с невинными девочками. Ее не нужно посвящать в ск тусовки и т.п. Ей нужен только хороший парень, необычный, не простой, не такой как все. У него будут небольшие, а может даже и огромные проблемы с психикой, но его любовь и чувства к ней, никогда никто не переплюнет. 
Даже если на нее нападут сборище маньяков, арсен (я) сможет ее защитить, выставив свое тело в качестве щита, он будет главной ее опорой. Мне снесут ебало, поломают конечности, но мою голубо-зеленоглазую girl (я не знаю ее имени) никто не тронет. С ней все будет в порядке.
