Abstract
Portraits of the self, or selfies, have become a universal form of self-representation and interaction in digital social media. This article presents examples of ‘Indonesian selfie tourism,’ discussing both domestic and international contexts. Similar to the cultural theme parks studied by Judith Schlehe, in recent years, several new parks have opened their gates to visitors in Indonesia under the label ‘wisata selfie’—selfie tourism. At the same time, Indonesians who can afford overseas travels, for instance religious package tours to the Middle East, document their journeys and take visual evidence of their presence at holy sites abroad. We analyse the ways in which the creation of images of a cosmopolitan self inspires socio-cultural plurality, intercultural encounters, and inclusion.
