This study contributes to understand the representations of Indonesian rural destinations in tourism media (online and offline) and the social reproduction of the on-site experiences from Australian tourists. The study analyses qualitative data from media produced between 2016 and 2018, online reviews about rural destinations, and full-day participant observations involving Australians. The findings highlight the contested representation of tranquil rice fields and the Indonesians as the exotic locals to be gaze upon for Australians. In conclusion, the framing of Indonesia for Australians expresses the unjust reproductions of tourism media to exercise the existing power relations.

凝视他人的挣扎：澳大利亚游客在旅游媒体中对印度尼西亚农村地方和人民的代表

本研究有助于了解印度尼西亚乡村目的地在旅游媒体（在线和离线）中的表现以及澳大利亚游客现场体验的社会再现。该研究分析了 2016 年至 2018 年期间制作的媒体的定性数据、有关农村目的地的在线评论以及涉及澳大利亚人的全天参与者观察。调查结果突出了宁静的稻田和印度尼西亚人作为澳大利亚人关注的异国情调的当地人的有争议的表现。总之，对澳大利亚人的印度尼西亚框架表达了旅游媒体为行使现有权力关系而进行的不公正复制。
