Whether you are a recent graduate or a longtime friend of the Southeast Asia Program, you will find that the Program is both much the same as you remember it and also a changing and varied academic venture. We thought you might welcome an annual publication that renews old ties while keeping you abreast of recent developments here in the library, graduate theses, faculty (both well-remembered and new), visiting fellows, and special programs and activities. In this first issue of the Bulletin, we have tried to anticipate the areas that might interest you most. We are hoping that you will let us have your reactions and suggestions. We hope, too, that you may wish to contribute to the Bulletin, so that among the large and impressive group of Southeast Asianists who have in one way or another been a part of the Cornell experience we will develop an active correspondence.

  • Southeast Asia Program
    SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAM FALL • 1994 BULLETIN • 0 ,., SEAP ARCHIVE COPY ' DO NOT REMOVE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, This has been a year of many changes in the Southeast Asia Program, some of them sad and others happy. First, the news that is both sad and happy. Randolph Barker's term as director came to an end, and I was elected to take his place as director. At the same time that Randy stepped down, Helen Swank retired. Many of us think of her affectionately as an institution coterminous with the Southeast Asia Program, and after thirty-three years it is hard to conceive of the office without her. Her place was taken by Nancy Stage. Nancy brings back home to Ithaca a range of experience in fund-raising and development from her previous work in Colorado. Helen is a hard act to follow, but Nancy's intelligence and sparkle keep the office an exciting and pleasant place to work or visit. We also had some losses among our faculty. We are sad to announce the passing of two of our most beloved colleagues, Lauriston Sharp and Milton Barnett. Both Lauri and Milt were active in the Southeast Asia Program until a short time before their deaths. Their careers and contributions to SEAP are outlined in the following pages. To honor Lauri, in 1975 we established the Lauriston Sharp Prize for the most outstanding thesis in Southeast Asian studies at Cornell. Winners of this prize have become top scholars in their fields and are active in universities throughout the country.

KING The Sociology of South-East Asia A Critical Review of Some Concepts and Issues* In the field of South-East Asian Studies, as in other area studies programmes, we usually examine the realities of the region under study from our different disciplinary perspectives, though, wherever possible, we use interdisciplinary approaches as well. The study of South-East Asia has generated some quite remarkable scholarly contributions in certain I wish to acknowledge the helpful comments of the two anonymous referees of this paper. I have duly followed some of their constructive criticisms and made revisions as well as included additional information and discussion. I hope that I have responded to their main observation; this tumed on the issue of which authors and literature should be covered in a review of this kind. In any review in article form it is difficult to be comprehensive and it has been impossible to consider the substantial literature in applied sociology and the sociology of rural development. This must be the subject of a separate paper on which I am presently engaged. It was also feit that my initial paper gave too much emphasis to English-language publications written by Western observers to the neglect of publications in other European languages and more especially writings by South-East Asians in both English and local languages.

  • Lauriston Sharp
    1358 THE JOURNAL OF ASIAN STUDIES LAURISTON SHARP (1907-1993) Lauriston Sharp, Goldwin Smith Professor of Anthropology and Asian Studies Emeritus at Cornell University, died at the age of 86 at his Ithaca, New York, home on December 31, 1993. He was born in 1907 in Madison, where his father was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin. While majoring in philosophy at Wisconsin, Sharp went on several summer treks to archaeological sites in Arizona and Utah, and these encounters led him to prefer the concrete, culturally informed anthropologist's view of human nature to the more abstract, universalizing view of the philosopher. After receiving his B.A. in philosophy from the University of Wisconsin in 1929, Sharp chose anthropology and Southeast Asian Studies as career goals. He encountered Berber culture while on a 1930 Beloit-Logan Museum archaeological expedition to Algeria. He then studied Southeast Asian Ethnology in Vienna with Robert Heine-Geldern, receiving the Certificate in Anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. He entered the doctoral program at Harvard University in 1932 and received his Ph.D. in 1937, after two years of fieldwork among Australian aborigines. Professor Sharp began teaching at Cornell in 1936 as that university's first appointment in anthropology. Devoted to Cornell, he taught at, and remained connected with the university for fifty-six years. He remained active as the Goldwin Smith Professor Emeritus, even after his retirement in 1973. During an interlude at the State Department in 1945 and 1946, Sharp served as Assistant Division Chief for Southeast Asian Affairs.

  • Intellectual Roots of Key Anthropologists
    SELECTIONS FROM ASSESSING CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY Robert Borofsky, editor (1994) New York: McGraw-Hill FREDRIK BARTH is currently Research Fellow under the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Professor of Anthropology at Emory University. He has previously taught at the universities of Oslo and Bergen, and as a visitor at various American departments of anthropology. He has carried out research in a number of areas, starting in the Middle East with a focus on tribal politics and ecology. His best known works from this period are: Political Leadership among Swat Pathans (1959), Nomads of South Persia (1961), Models of Social Organization (1964), and the edited work Ethnic Groups and Boundaries (1969). Later, he has also done fieldwork in New Guinea and Southeast Asia, and among his publications are Ritual and Knowledge among the Baktaman of New Guinea (1975) and Cosmologies in the Making (1987). A monograph entitled Balinese Worlds will appear in 1993. "After a wartime childhood in Norway, I started at the University of Chicago with an interest in paleontology and human evolution. But the active and rich teaching program of Fred Eggan, Sol Tax, Robert Redfield and others broadened my intellectual horizon and led, after an interlude on a dig in Iraq with Bob Braidwood, to my choice of social anthropology as the focus of my work. My foundations derived indirectly from Radcliffe-Brown, who had taught my teachers during the 1930s. "Like many of my Chicago cohort, I went on to further studies in England. I chose the L.S.E. Autobiographies: 2 and developed a life-long association with Raymond Firth and, even more importantly, with Edmund Leach, whom I later followed to Cambridge for my Ph.D.

  • Vicos As Cold War Strategy: Anthropology, Peasants and ‘Community Development’1
    Vicos as Cold War Strategy: Anthropology, Peasants and ‘Community Development’1 Eric B. Ross ABSTRACT: This article examines how anthropology’s emphasis on the traditional values of peasants reflected the general precepts of ‘modernization theory’, the dominant de- velopment discourse of the Cold War era. It explores how such ideas lent credibility to the U.S. strategy of ‘community development’ as a central part of its response to radical rural change. Special attention is paid to the Cornell-Peru Project at Vicos in the Peruvian highlands, which attained legendary status as a case of applied anthro- pology, but is here examined in relationship to the strategies of the U.S. power elite and Cold War government policies. KEYWORDS: modernization, applied anthropology, peasants, community development, Cold War Introduction Harris 1968), cannot therefore be seen as a log- ical development of anthropology’s theoretical Despite the long standing role of peasant soci- history.
