In the context of the television industry, this sinetron’s production signals the changing character of the industry, from state control to free market. The discussion falls into three main parts: a consideration of the contexts of socio-cultural change and the globalisation of the television industry within which the sinetron is produced an examination of the way the sinetron draws on traditional theatrical performance, popular memory and supernatural belief and a study of its representation of women and gender issues within the action-adventure genre to which it belongs. The purpose of my study is to examine the significance of this success, including exploring the possibility that it is due to the serial’s engagement with recent issues in contemporary Indonesian culture, in particular the changing roles of women. Since it was first broadcast by the Indosiar television station, it has ranked among the top-rating television programs in Indonesia, and I am interested in its success in this era of social transformation. Misteri Gunung Merapi has been produced since 1998, shortly after the financial crisis and the fall of the New Order regime.
