  • Local Trade Networks in Maluku in the 16Th, 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    CAKALELEVOL. 2, :-f0. 2 (1991), PP. LOCAL TRADE NETWORKS IN MALUKU IN THE 16TH, 17TH, AND 18TH CENTURIES LEONARD Y. ANDAYA U:-fIVERSITY OF From an outsider's viewpoint, the diversity of language and ethnic groups scattered through numerous small and often inaccessible islands in Maluku might appear to be a major deterrent to economic contact between communities. But it was because these groups lived on small islands or in forested larger islands with limited arable land that trade with their neighbors was an economic necessity Distrust of strangers was often overcome through marriage or trade partnerships. However, the most . effective justification for cooperation among groups in Maluku was adherence to common origin myths which established familial links with societies as far west as Butung and as far east as the Papuan islands. I The records of the Dutch East India Company housed in the State Archives in The Hague offer a useful glimpse of the operation of local trading networks in Maluku. Although concerned principally with their own economic activities in the area, the Dutch found it necessary to understand something of the nature of Indigenous exchange relationships. The information, however, never formed the basis for a report, but is scattered in various documents in the form of observations or personal experiences of Dutch officials. From these pieces of information it is possible to reconstruct some of the complexity of the exchange in MaJuku in these centuries and to observe the dynamism of local groups in adapting to new economic developments in the area. In addition to the Malukans, there were two foreign groups who were essential to the successful integration of the local trade networks: the and the Chinese.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Dasar Pemikiran Bangsa Indonesia Sejak
    1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Dasar Pemikiran Bangsa Indonesia sejak dahulu sudah dikenal sebagai bangsa pelaut yang menguasai jalur-jalur perdagangan. Sebagai bangsa pelaut maka pengetahuan kita akan teknologi perkapalan Nusantara pun seharusnya kita ketahui. Catatan-catatan sejarah serta bukti-bukti tentang teknologi perkapalan Nusantara pada masa klasik memang sangatlah minim. Perkapalan Nusantara pada masa klasik, khususnya pada masa kerajaan Hindu-Buddha tidak meninggalkan bukti lukisan-lukisan bentuk kapalnya, berbeda dengan bangsa Eropa seperti Yunani dan Romawi yang bentuk kapal-kapal mereka banyak terdapat didalam lukisan yang menghiasi benda porselen. Penemuan bangkai-bangkai kapal yang berasal dari abad ini pun tidak bisa menggambarkan lebih lanjut bagaimana bentuk aslinya dikarenakan tidak ditemukan secara utuh, hanya sisa-sisanya saja. Sejak kedatangan bangsa Eropa ke Nusantara pada abad ke 16, bukti-bukti mengenai perkapalan yang dibuat dan digunakan di Nusantara mulai terbuka. Catatan-catatan para pelaut Eropa mengenai pertemuan mereka dengan kapal- kapal Nusantara, serta berbagai lukisan-lukisan kota-kota pelabuhan di Nusantara yang juga dibuat oleh orang-orang Eropa. Sejak abad ke-17, di Eropa berkembang seni lukis naturalistis, yang coba mereproduksi keadaan sesuatu obyek dengan senyata mungkin; gambar dan lukisan yang dihasilkannya membahas juga pemandangan-pemandangan kota, benteng, pelabuhan, bahkan pemandangan alam 2 di Asia, di mana di sana-sini terdapat pula gambar perahu-perahu Nusantara.1 Catatan-catatan Eropa ini pun memuat nama-nama dari kapal-kapal Nusantara ini, yang ternyata sebagian masih ada hingga sekarang. Dengan menggunakan cacatan-catatan serta lukisan-lukisan bangsa Eropa, dan membandingkan bentuk kapalnya dengan bukti-bukti kapal yang masih digunakan hingga sekarang, maka kita pun bisa memunculkan kembali bentuk- bentuk kapal Nusantara yang digunakan pada abad-abad 16 hingga 18.

  • Celestial Navigation As a Kind of Local Knowledge of the Makassar Ethnic: an Analysis of Arena Wati’S Selected Works
    The 2013 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Istanbul, Turkey Celestial Navigation as a Kind of Local Knowledge of the Makassar Ethnic: An Analysis of Arena Wati’s Selected Works Sohaimi Abdul Aziz 1 and Sairah Abdullah 2 1School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia 2St. George's Girls' School, Penang, Malaysia. [email protected] Abstract Southeast Asia was known for its seafarers. Indeed, long before the Portuguese arrived in Asian waters, the seafarers had been sailing over the oceans for thousands of miles without a proper compass or written charts. Arena Wati or Muhammad Dahlan bin Abdul Biang is well-known author in Malaysia. He is one of the national laureates of Malay literature. Before he ventured into the world of creative writings, he was a seafarer since the age of 17. He originates from Makassar, an island of seafarers in Indonesia. His vast experiences as a seafarer, who learned and practiced the celestial navigational skills of the Makassar people, have become the important ingredient of his creative writings. Celestial navigation is a navigation of a naturalist that is based on natural elements such as wind direction, wave patterns, ocean currents, cloud formation and so on. Nevertheless, not much research has been doned on his navigational skills as reflected in his works, especially in the contact of local knowledge. As a result, this paper will venture into the celestial navigation and its relationship with the local knowledge. Selected works of Arena Wati, which consists of a memoir and two novels, will be analyzed using textual analysis. The result of this study reveals that the selected works of Arena Wati shows the importance of celestial navigation as part of the local knowledge.

HarperStacks.com CLap WhEn You laNd ABOUT THE BOOK Camino Rios loves the water, her tía, her island, and spending every summer with her papi when he visits her in the Dominican Republic. Yahaira Rios lives in New York City and idolizes her father but has recently had a hard time looking him in the face. When they both receive the news that their father’s plane has crashed, they know that their lives will never be the same. Just like that, these two girls are thrown into a reality where their father is dead and it seems their dreams are quickly slipping away. How do you cope with losing the father you love while reckoning with the secrets he kept from you? What will it mean to be a sister to someone you’ve never met? And what will Camino and Yahaira do to keep their dreams alive? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS SISTERHOOD • The author writes the first part of the book switching between the sisters’ points of view in each chapter. In the last section of the book, however, their perspectives are combined, and we often have to figure out who is speaking by context clues. Why do you think the author chose to structure the book in this way? How does your understanding of the sisters change when you start seeing them through each other’s perspective? • Camino and Yahaira both have complicated feelings about suddenly having a sibling.
