The cultural dimension of peace: decentralization and reconciliation in Indonesia / Birgit Bräuchler (Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany). pages cm. – (Rethinking peace and conflict studies) Summary: “The Cultural Dimension of Peace outlines an emerging cultural turn in Peace Studies. Taking an anthropological view of decentralization and peace processes in Indonesia as its central focus, it provides an informed understanding of the cultural dimension of reconciliation that is essential for the reintegration of societies that have undergone mass violence and long-lasting conflict. Bräuchler’s study warns of one-sided instrumentalization or harmonization theories, and promotes a critical stance towards the use of ‘culture’, ‘tradition’ and ‘the local’ in peacebuilding. Her focus is on intra-state violence between groups defined by ethnicity, religion or other sub-national (or transnational) collective identities. Based on multi-sited and multi-temporal ethnographic fieldwork, this book develops an approach that opens up spaces and sets a new standard for Peace and Conflict Studies and the anthropology of peace”— Provided by publisher. 1.

Abstract Background and Aim: Indonesian cuscuses are now becoming scarce because of the reduction of habitat and poaching. Further, molecular characterization of Indonesian cuscuses is still very lacking. This study aimed to determine genetic markers and phylogenetic relationships of Indonesian cuscuses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Materials and Methods: This study used 21 cuscuses caught from two provinces and 16 islands: 13 from Maluku and eight from Papua. Cuscus samples were taken by biopsy following ethics guidelines for animals.

  • The Development and Structural Change Of
    沿岸域学会誌,Vol.28 No.1, pp.35-47 (Journal of Coastal Zone Studies) 2015 年 6 月 論 文 THE DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURAL CHANGE OF MARINE SASI SYSTEM - A TRADITIONAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN CENTRAL MALUKU VILLAGES, INDONESIA Awwaluddin*, Xiaobo LOU**, Fang CHEN* ABSTRACT: Marine Sasi plays an important role in coastal resource management as a traditional and informal system in Maluku villages, Indonesia. The existence and performance of Sasi system and other indigenous knowledge practices in Indonesia were widely affected by various policies issued by the government. The sustaina- bility and functionality of Sasi system were weakened significantly in the 1970s due to the changes of village gov- ernment system. Meanwhile, the Sasi system has been predicted to be recovered after the implementation of local government system reformation in 2004. This paper tries to clarify the actual condition of marine Sasi system in Maluku villages during three different regimes, i.e., traditional, Centralization and Decentralization regime; and also to analyze the impacts of the changes in village government system to the structure of marine Sasi. The number of marine Sasi system was declined during the Centralization Regime, but has been increasing in the Decentralization regime as it was predicted. Meanwhile the structure of marine Sasi system was weakened during the centralization regime, but starting to improve in the Decentralization regime. Marine Sasi system is important for the Maluku vil- lages’ community members, but it is fragile to the changes of village government system.

Introduction Studies of language shift and language silence have reported extensive grammatical restructuring and the emergence of new varieties as knowledge and use of a language weakens among younger members of an language community. The ensuing high levels of variation between speakers can lead to a ‘language shift cycle’. The starting point for the cycle is the extensive variation which flourishes during rapid language shift.

  • Case Study: Sasi Lompa Fish in Haruku, Central Maluku
    Case Study: Sasi Lompa Fish in Haruku, Central Maluku The communities in Negeri Haruku – Sameth, Haruku Island, Central Maluku, Maluku has unique traditions to preserve its sustability of natural products. Haruku Island is one of the small islands located in Lease Islands group (Ambon, Haruku, Saparua, Nusalaut, Pombo and Molana), which is located in the East of the City/Ambon Island. The adat leaders in Negeri Haruku – Sameth enforce the prohibition period and the period allowed for residents to catch fish in the sea or river. Local people call it the Sasi Lompa tradition. As a form of acknowledgement to this local wisdom, Ministry of Marine Afairs and Fisheries facilitates it by Regent Regulation No. 81 Year 2017 which acknowledge the application of adat law and local wisdom in the management and protection of marine resources in Haruku, Central Maluku Regency. Sasi Lompa or Sasi Laut are an annual tradition which are held by the community on the island of Haruku. Sasi Lompa come from two words, which are Sasi and Lompa. Sasi is a ban on Maluku which aims to preserve nature, while Lompa is a type of small Sardinian fish that lives in brackish water. Seeds or hatchlings of lompa fish are usually starting to be seen in groups on the coast of Haruku between April and May. At this time, sasi lompa is declared valid (closed sasi). The people are forbidden to catch fish, because the size are still too small, which are shown by fixing the sasi sign in the form of wooden pillar which ends are wrapped with young coconut leaves (janur) which indicates that Sasi has been put into effect.

International Studies Reporting the Maluku Sectarian Conflict: The Politics of Editorship in Kompas and Republika Dailies (68pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth Collins This research explores the politics of editorship in the Kompas and Republika dailies in covering conflict between Muslims and Christians in Maluku. It is attempting to answer why the two most prominent Indonesian newspapers cover the same event differently. As a Catholic-affiliated newspaper, Kompas defended the Christian interests; and as a Muslim newspaper, Republika defended the Muslim interests. Two approaches are employed here to understand the two newspapers’ difference in reporting. The first approach is philosophical framework underpinning the theory of interpretation, known as hermeneutics, and the second one is the political economy which shaped the two newspapers in their current characteristics. Any text or event is open for interpretation, and an interpretation depends on the interpreter’s worldview and attitudes. This factor has made Kompas’s and Republika’s difference in reporting. The political economy, or specifically, the power behind the press contributed to the difference in policies of the two newspapers’ editorship.
