Austronesian Vernacular Architecture and the Ise Shrine of Japan: Is There Any Connection? Austronesian vernacular architecture and the Ise Shrine of Japan: Is there any connection? Ezrin Arbi Department of Architecture Faculty of Built Environment Universityof Malaya Abst ract In spite of so many varieties of form and detail of construction found in Southeast Asian vernacular buildings, there are some recurring features and shared characteristics that bind them together. The vast territories in which this phenomenon exists, known as the "Austronesian world", does no t include Japan. However, there is an intriguing resemblance between the architectural style of Japanese vernacular heritage of the earlier period with that of Austronesia. This paper is an attempt to explain the relation between the two using the findings of studies by archaeological, linguistic, sociological and anthropological experts based on the link between culture, langu age and ve rnacular architect ure. Introduction the form of (i) ideas, (ii) activities and (iii) In order to see the link between artifacts.

The third form of defined culture as "tha t complex whole culture, which is the most concrete, is the which includes knowled ge, beliefs, ar t, result of human activit ies in their social morals, laws, customs and all other intercourse that requires the creation capabilities and habits acquired by man and making of new tools, instruments, as a member of a society".

  • Who Invented the Bronze Drum? Nationalism, Politics, and a Sino- Vietnamese Archaeological Debate of the 1970S and 1980S
    Who Invented the Bronze Drum? Nationalism, Politics, and a Sino- Vietnamese Archaeological Debate of the 1970s and 1980s XIAORONG HAN EVER SINCE THE BIRTH OF MODERN ARCHAEOLOGY in the nineteenth cen­ tury, nationalism and politics have been important factors in its development, and as such, archaeologists in various parts of the world have been actively in­ volved in the construction of ethnic and/or national origins and identities, the corroboration of national myths, the disputes over territories and cultural inven­ tions, and so on (Diaz-Andreu and Champion 1996; Hudson 1999; Kohl and Fawcett 1995; Meskell 1998; Pai 2000; Silberman 1989; Trigger 1984). Although it is difficult to find a single country in which archaeology is completely free from the influence of nationalism and politics, it is understandable to find that archae­ ologists operating in authoritarian systems generally have a stronger tendency to develop a close relationship with the nation-state and involve themselves in poli­ tics because of a lack of academic freedom and independent sources of financial support. Nazi Germany, early twentieth-century Japan, and pre-World War II Soviet Union are extreme examples of the politicization of archaeology (Arnold and Hassman 1995; Hudson 1999: 35, 44; Shnirelman 1996; Trigger 1989: 178­ 179; Wiwjorra 1996). In post-war Asia, archaeologists in China and Viet Nam were actively engaged in the development of a new wave of nationalist archaeol­ ogy under the encouragement and sponsorship of the state (Glover 1999; Tong 1995). ' This paper intends to study the nationalist archaeology of China and Viet Nam in the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Ethnic Groups of Viet – Muong Languages and Dong Son Culture
    Vietnam Social Sciences, No. 4(168) - 2015 Ethnic Groups of Viet – Muong Languages and Dong Son Culture Bui Xuan Dinh * Abstract: The archaeological data have convincingly proved that the Dong Son (Đông Sơn) culture resulted from the indigenous development of the previous pre-Đông Sơn cultural systems in the basins of the Hồng, Mã and Cả rivers, closely associating people and ancient Vietnamese culture. The ethnological and linguistic data demonstrate the close relationship of language and culture between the Việt and Mường peoples, and other ethnic groups of Viet – Muong (Việt – Mường) language. There are a lot of convincing data to confirm that the Việt and Mường peoples once shared an origin and they themselves were the owners of the pre-Đông Sơn and Đông Sơn cultures, closely connected with the ancient Vietnamese civilization. Key words: Ethnic, Việt – Mường languages, Đông Sơn culture. 1.

  • Mid-Holocene Hunter-Gatherers ‘Gaomiao’ in Hunan, China: the First of the Two-Layer Model in the Population History of East/Southeast Asia
    4 Mid-Holocene Hunter-Gatherers ‘Gaomiao’ in Hunan, China: The First of the Two-layer Model in the Population History of East/Southeast Asia Hirofumi Matsumura, Hsiao-chun Hung, Nguyen Lan Cuong, Ya-feng Zhao, Gang He and Zhang Chi Gaomiao, the eponymous archaeological site of the Gaomiao Culture (ca. 7500–5500 BP) has produced evidence of a unique hunter-gatherer society in Hunan Province, China, that produced fine decorated pottery. The human remains unearthed from this site provided an excellent opportunity to assess phenotypic and biological relationships between the Gaomiao and prehistoric and modern human populations that have inhabited East/Southeast Asia over the past ca. 10,000 years through cranial morphometrics. The assessment of morphometric affinity presented here addresses the peopling of East Asia, particularly in the context of the ‘two-layer’ hypothesis describing the population history of this region. The results suggest that the Gaomiao skeletons inherited genetic signatures from early colonising populations of Late Pleistocene southern Eurasian origin to a certain extent, and might share a common ancestry with present-day Australian Aboriginal and Melanesian people. Introduction The study of the population history of East Asia remains complex due to various migration processes and intermixing of populations throughout prehistory, poor archaeological sample sizes and limited radiometric dating. In general terms, East Asia is thought to have been originally inhabited by (to use the classic term) ‘Mongoloid’ peoples from the Late Pleistocene onwards. In the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene of Southeast Asia, several sets of human remains exhibit Australo-Melanesian characteristics, and it has been argued that an indigenous population possessing this morphological form occupied Southeast Asia.

However, along with many positive benefits of tourism there are many negative impacts on economic, social and environmental aspects of communities. The introduction of tourism often triggers alterations in the way local people make a living. Such alterations often lead to full tourism-dependent livelihoods, affecting the sustainability of traditional livelihoods due to the unreliability of the tourism industry. This study provides empirical evidence of such alterations in local communities. The research data for this study was collected in Komodo District, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, with the souvenir, tour boat and travel businesses as case studies. Using qualitative methods, this study elaborates the impacts of tourism on local livelihoods, by focusing on: the process of how tourism affected local livelihoods; the opportunities and threats emerging from the impact of tourism; the strategies applied to respond to the challenges; and the locals’ perspectives of influential stakeholders and sustainable tourism development.

  • Metaphor Construction in Caci Performance of Manggarai Speech Community
    ISSN 1798-4769 Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Vol. 11, No. 3, pp. 418-426, May 2020 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/jltr.1103.10 Metaphor Construction in Caci Performance of Manggarai Speech Community Karolus Budiman Jama Universitas Nusa Cendana, Kupang, Indonesia I Wayan Ardika Universitas Udayana, Denpasar, Indonesia I Ketut Ardhana Universitas Udayana, Denpasar, Indonesia I Ketut Setiawan Universitas Udayana, Denpasar, Indonesia Sebastianus Menggo Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus, Ruteng, Indonesia Abstract—The construction of metaphoric expressions has awesome power in organising flexible performance aesthetics. It provides new angles on values of cultural rituals, encourages interlocutors’ psychological functions in producing appropriate figurative languages, utilises awareness of all forms of linguistic and non- linguistic knowledge, and increases the awareness of a community’s values, belief systems, ideologies, and culture intertwined in speakers’ minds. The aims of this study were to analyse and disclose the metaphor constructions in caci performance. The study was conducted between February and October 2018 and involved 24 caci actors from six villages in the Manggarai region, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. Interviews, a set of stationery, field notes, and audio-visual recordings were used to collect data. These data were then analysed qualitatively through the phenomenological method. The findings revealed that caci performance is thick with metaphor usage, such as animal, plant, physical, and water metaphors, and these were used in three stages of caci performance. Two ideologies underline caci performance, namely pragmatism and indoctrism. Caci actors are advised to employ metaphoric expressions to help them think and act, to reflect on living in harmony, and to deliver cultural values to the younger generation appropriately.

  • Completion Report
    COMPLETION REPORT Geographically, both Vietnam and Japan are located close to China, which accounts for the influences exerted by the latter on the former at the different periods. Therefore, there should be research into the inevitable similarities shared by Vietnam and Japan in this process. At the same time, either of the two nations has had its own path for the development of their indigenous cultures, despite the same impact from China. In addition, naturally, both Vietnam and Japan have exerted their influence, to some extent, on China culture. 1. Influence of Chinese culture on the Dong Son culture. DongSon culture (7 th century BC- 1 th-2nd centuries AD) spread mostly in North Vietnam. Chinese artifacts found in Dong Son sites demonstrated this problem: 1-1. Bronze “qo” (a kind of weapon): A lot of bronze “qo” were discovered in Dong Son culture’s sites: Dong Son, Dong Den, Doi Da, Nui Voi… Recently, in famous Go De site (Lam Thao district, Phu Tho province) in 2003 we excavated one bronze “qo” that is decorated as many bronze “qo” in Shizhaishan site in Yunnan, south China (Qo was discovered in grave H6M1 in Go De site). 1-2. Bronze mirrors those were found in Dong Son culture were predominant among the bronze objects imported from China. There were Chinese mirrors in later Dong Son culture sites when Han dynasty invaded North Vietnam in 111 B.C. 1-3. Bronze ploughshares were found in both Dong Son and Dien cultures. Co Loa site, Dong Anh district, Ha Noi was discovered in 1982.
