Pada tahun 2011-2016 berdasarkan data dari Crisis Center BNP2TKI, terdapat sedikitnya 27 ribu kasus yang menimpa BMI yang berada di berbagai negara. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian Ecosoc (2008), permasalahan yang dihadapi BMI di Negara tujuan, 80 persen sumbernya justru berasal dari desa. Desa sebenarnya memiliki peran yang sangat strategis untuk menjadi basis bermigrasi aman, karena desa adalah pintu keluar yang pertama bagi seorang calon BMI. Abainya pemerintah terhadap perlindungan BMI pada akhirnya justru melahirkan perlawanan-perlawanan yang konstruktif dari desa-desa untuk melindungi para warga mereka.

There are sudden shift in Indonesia village law in 2014. The villages that usually “forgotten”, now empowered fully by central government. Village organization have to make radical structural change in organization body, budget and accounting. This change will be analyses with qualitative approach using critical-postmodernism approach. Informants are village governments in Banyumas Region, Central Java, Indonesia. The analysis shows that there is hyperreality about village capacity, which the “flood" of the budget coming from higher government transfer fund not from village real income rises. Overall, the change in village organization is mostly about topdown not bottom-up like it used to be. If this change is not followed by capacity building for village people, the change only wasting money. Building villages’ website is one innovative way to gather public participation and also disseminate public information between village governments to village people.

In the paper, I review the existing literature about the burgeoning of popular culture in Indonesia and how political elites manage popular culture. The review encompasses three major periods in the Indonesian history: Old Order (1945-1967), New Order (1966-1998) and Reform (1998-now). I observe how government in each historical period treated popular culture, and how extensive types of popular culture were developed under different cultural policies.
