Introduction and overview In this paper, I raise one simple point that must be taken into account when considering the history of the ‘Papuan’ languages – namely, the scope of the term ‘Papuan’. I shall argue that ‘Papuan’ is a term that logically should include many languages that have generally been discussed as being ‘Austronesian’. While much detailed work has been carried out on a number of ‘Papuan’ language families, the fact that they are separate families, and are not believed to be related to each other (in the sense of the comparative method) any more than they are to the Austronesian languages which largely surround their region, means that they cannot be considered without reference to those Austronesian languages. I will argue that many of the Austronesian languages which surround the Papuan region (see the appendix) can only be considered to be ‘Austronesian’ in a lexical sense. Since historical linguistics puts little value on simple lexical correspondences in the absence of regular sound correspondences, and regularity of sound correspondence is lacking in the Austronesian languages close to New Guinea, we cannot consider these languages to be ‘fully’ Austronesian. We must therefore consider a Papuan history that is much more widespread than usually conceived.

  • Deconstructing Bataknese Gorga Computationally
    Deconstructing Bataknese Gorga Computationally Hokky Situngkir [[email protected]] Dept. Computational Sociology Bandung Fe Institute Abstract The carved and painted decorations in traditional Batak houses and buildings, gorga, are the source of their exoticism. There are no identical patterns of the ornaments within Batak houses and the drawings are closely related to the way ancient Batak capture the dynamicity of the growing “tree of life”, one of central things within their cosmology and mythology. The survey of ornaments of Batak houses and buildings in Northern Sumatera Indonesia has made us possible to observe the complex pattern. The fractal dimensions of the geometrical shapes in gorga are calculated and they are conjectured into 1.5-1.6, between the dimensional of a line and a plane. The way gorga is drawn is captured by using some modification to the turtle geometry of L-System model, a popular model to model the dynamics of growing plants. The result is a proposal to see Bataknese gorga as one of traditionalheritage that may enrich the studies to the generative art. Keywords: Batak, gorga, carving, painting, Indonesia, fractal, geometry, generative art. 1. Introduction The Indonesian Bataknese decorates their traditional houses and buildings with carved or painted ornaments known as “gorga”. The touch of the traditional knowledge with modernity has even yielded many modern buildings in Northern Sumatera, Indonesia, decorated with the traditional gorga, for example hotels, churches, governmental offices, community buildings, et cetera, expressing the identity of Batak people throughout the country. However, while the traditions have been slowly declined, we are still lack of studies due to the geometry of the ornamentation within gorga.

  • Images of God in Toba Batak Storytelling
    PB Wacana Vol. 17 No. 2 (2016) Johann AngerlerWacana Vol., Images 17 No. of God 2 (2016): in Toba 303–335 Batak storytelling 303 Images of God in Toba Batak storytelling Johann Angerler Abstract This paper examines the ways in which God the Creator, the High God, is described in Toba Batak folk-tales. The sources for this investigation are stories recorded in pre-colonial (around 1850), colonial and post-colonial times (up to 2014). In different stories the High God can appear under various names, forms and gender, and resides in various places never inhabited by humans. Unlike a Deus otiosus, the Toba Batak High God is not “inactive” after creation, but continues to be involved in the life of mankind through local or supra-local manifestations. Although he rules the realm of death, he is nevertheless regarded as the source of life, fertility, health and prosperity. There are also stories about manifestations of God in which he shares the experience of suffering with human beings. The main Toba Batak community rituals in pre-colonial times were addressed to a manifestation of the High God. Keywords Toba Batak stories; oral tradition; ritual; High God; manifestations of God; history of religion. Introduction I would like to prelude my paper with two quotations. Both are from Toba Batak peasants, simple men not shamans or other Batak intellectuals. In September 1990 I had the opportunity to witness a ritual buffalo sacrifice in a village in Limbong, on the slopes of the holy mountain Pusuk Buhit, situated on the western shore of Lake Toba.
