If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

What are corporations, and to whom are they responsible? Anthropologist Marina Welker draws on two years of research at Newmont Mining Corporations Denver headquarters and its Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Sumbawa, Indonesia, to address these questions. Against the backdrop of an emerging Corporate Social Responsibility movement and changing state dynamics in Indonesia, she shows how people enact the mining corporation in multiple ways: as an ore producer, employer, patron, promoter of sustainable development, religious sponsor, auditable organization, foreign imperialist, and environmental threat. Rather than assuming that corporations are monolithic, profit-maximizing subjects, Welker turns to anthropological theories of personhood to develop an analytic model of the corporation as an unstable collective subject with multiple authors, boundaries, and interests. Enacting the Corporation demonstrates that corporations are constituted through continuous struggles over relations withand responsibilities tolocal communities, workers, activists, governments, contractors, and shareholders.

Acknowledgments

It has taken me a long time to research and write this book, and I have accrued many debts along the way. I can name only some of those who have helped me here.

Over the course of my research in southwest Sumbawa, many people allowed me to take part in their lives, sometimes for extended periods of time, and they patiently answered my questions. I am deeply grateful to them, and to the Newmont employees, some of whom were also village residents, who kept me apprised of and included in their activities. Among those living in the villages of Sekongkang Bawah, Sekongkang Atas, Tongo-Sejorong, SP1, SP2, Maluk, Benete, Goa, Beru, and Belo, I am especially indebted to Fadila Marleni, Pak Rahmat Hidayat, Bu Madiana, Pak Puakang, Bu Mari, Pak Samrah, Pak Teten, Mama Esi, Bu Subaedah, Mbak Endang, Bu H. Ipa, Pak H. Mukhlis, Bu H. Asia, Pak H. Nasaruddin, Pak H. Ali, Bu Palisa, Pak H. Sarugyi, Bu Nani, Pak Yasin, Bu Badariah, Pak Dahlan, Pak Adam Master, Pak Muhid, Bu Suriya, Bibi Ibok, Wildan, Bu Boya, Pak Mahdar, Bu Gira, Pak Saluddin, Bu Norma, Bu Ratmina, Pak Zak, Bu Mirna, Pak M.

I am grateful to Pusat Penelitian Bahasa dan Kebudayaan (P2BK, the Center for the Study of Language and Culture) at the University of Mataram for kindly supporting my research and providing swift help with all bureaucratic hurdles. The centers director, Dr. Husni Muadz, always provided a warm reception and stimulating conversation. Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) in Jakarta sponsored my research.

I am also indebted to Helen Macdonald and Chris Anderson, and to their colleagues, consultants, and visitors at Newmont Mining Corporations headquarters in Denver, for allowing me to join meetings and conduct interviews and for providing requested materials. Sandi Yokooji was a great help as well. I also had meetings with government officials, activists, CSR professionals, and corporate employees in Sumbawa Besar, Mataram, Bali, Jakarta, and elsewhere in Indonesia, as well as in London, Brisbane, Berkeley, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. I am grateful to them all.

At a time when I was casting about for a feasible project on transnational extractive industries in Indonesia, I was fortunate to have help from a generous colleague, Brigham Golden. Brigham suggested I consider Newmont in Sumbawa and helped me get my research off to an auspicious start.

For various research phases I had material support from the Fulbright-Hays Program for Doctoral Dissertation Research, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the National Science Foundation, the University of Michigans Center for International Business Education, and the Social Science Research Councils Program on the Corporation as a Social Institution. I also benefited profoundly from meetings held as part of the SSRC Program on the Corporation, ably led by Doug Guthrie. I am also grateful for a Weatherhead Fellowship at the School for Advanced Research and a Harry Frank Guggenheim Fellowship that supported the first incarnation of this project as a dissertation. An American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship, a Faculty Fellowship at Cornells Society for the Humanities, and Cornells Institute for the Social Sciences helped me turn the project into a book.
