The Birds of Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, Maluku, Indonesia
Colin R. Trainor & Philippe Verbelen 272 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) New distributional records from forgoten Banda Sea islands: the birds of Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, Maluku, Indonesia by Colin R. Trainor & Philippe Verbelen Received 5 July 2011; fnal revision accepted 10 September 2013 Summary.—Many of the Banda Sea islands, including Babar, Romang, Sermata and Leti, were last surveyed more than 100 years ago. In October–November 2010, birds were surveyed on Romang (14 days), Sermata (eight days), Leti (fve days) and Kisar (seven days), and on Babar in August 2009 (ten days) and August 2011 (11 days). Limited unpublished observations from Damar, Moa, Masela (of Babar) and Nyata (of Romang) are also included here. A total of 128 bird species was recorded (85 resident landbirds), with 104 new island records, among them fve, 12, 20, four and three additional resident landbirds for Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, respectively. The high proportion of newly recorded and apparently overlooked resident landbirds on Sermata is puzzling but partly relates to limited historical collecting. Signifcant records include Ruddy-breasted Crake Porzana fusca (Romang), Red-legged Crake Rallina fasciata (Sermata), Bonelli’s Eagle Aquila fasciata renschi (Romang), Elegant Pita Pita elegans vigorsii (Babar, Romang, Sermata), Timor Stubtail Urosphena subulata (Babar, Romang), the frst sound-recordings of Kai Cicadabird Coracina dispar (Babar?, Romang) and endemic subspecies of Southern Boobook Ninox boobook cinnamomina (Babar) and N. b. moae (Romang, Sermata?). The frst ecological notes were collected for Green Oriole Oriolus favocinctus migrator on Romang, the lowland-dwelling Snowy-browed Flycatcher Ficedula hyperythra audacis on Babar, the endemic subspecies of Yellow- throated (Banda) Whistler Pachycephala macrorhyncha par on Romang, and Grey Friarbird Philemon kisserensis on Kisar and Leti. -
From Paradise Lost to Promised Land: Christianity and the Rise of West
School of History & Politics & Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS) University of Wollongong From Paradise Lost to Promised Land Christianity and the Rise of West Papuan Nationalism Susanna Grazia Rizzo A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) of the University of Wollongong 2004 “Religion (…) constitutes the universal horizon and foundation of the nation’s existence. It is in terms of religion that a nation defines what it considers to be true”. G. W. F. Hegel, Lectures on the of Philosophy of World History. Abstract In 1953 Aarne Koskinen’s book, The Missionary Influence as a Political Factor in the Pacific Islands, appeared on the shelves of the academic world, adding further fuel to the longstanding debate in anthropological and historical studies regarding the role and effects of missionary activity in colonial settings. Koskinen’s finding supported the general view amongst anthropologists and historians that missionary activity had a negative impact on non-Western populations, wiping away their cultural templates and disrupting their socio-economic and political systems. This attitude towards mission activity assumes that the contemporary non-Western world is the product of the ‘West’, and that what the ‘Rest’ believes and how it lives, its social, economic and political systems, as well as its values and beliefs, have derived from or have been implanted by the ‘West’. This postulate has led to the denial of the agency of non-Western or colonial people, deeming them as ‘history-less’ and ‘nation-less’: as an entity devoid of identity. But is this postulate true? Have the non-Western populations really been passive recipients of Western commodities, ideas and values? This dissertation examines the role that Christianity, the ideology of the West, the religion whose values underlies the semantics and structures of modernisation, has played in the genesis and rise of West Papuan nationalism. -
GUNS and SPICES English Interests in Maluku the High
CHAPTER NINE THE ENGLISH AND NUKU: GUNS AND SPICES English interests in Maluku The High Government of the VOC in Batavia tended to support the Sultan of Tidore in upholding his control of the areas in the Raja Ampat and the island of New Guinea and its vicinity because of its fear of the insidiously increasing English threat to the Dutch spice monopoly, which had had a cautious beginning almost a century earlier.1 In 1697, 160 English merchants were enraged after having been expelled from Bantam. A year afterwards, a squadron of five warships under the command of Captain Warren was made ready for an expedition to the Great East to obtain spices. Most of these ships did not reach their destination, but the Resolution did appear in Ambonese waters, between Boano and Asahudi, and immediately set course for Kisar. The crewmen landed on the island of Pisang but were driven away by the inhabitants.2 In 1700, William Dampier landed on the island of Sabuda and spent several days at the entrance to the McCluer Gulf. The English menace had been conceived as real as early as 1701, when the Gentlemen Seventeen in Holland learned that a quantity of spices had been exported to Chili without them having any idea about their origin. They probably assumed that the spices had been collected somewhere on the New Guinea Coast. On 31 De- cember 1705, the Dutch took pre-emptive action by arresting Dampier when he dropped anchor at Bacan, and took him to Ternate.3 Striving to protect the spice monopoly against intervention by other Europeans, the Company was eager to extend its control and power over the eastern part of the Archipelago. -

PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(2): 6050-6057 ISSN: 00333077 The Pattern of Life of Spoken Communities: Ethnographic Studies of Communication on Student's Social Life Pahrul Idham Kaliky1*, Hanafi Bilmona2, Aisa Abas3 1,2,3Universitas Pattimura Ambon, Indonesia *Correspondence to: Pahrul Idham Kaliky, Universitas Pattimura Ambon, Indonesia, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Students are a social community where the basic views and primary cells grow from the basic views and scientific disciplines in the academic world. Students have their own culture of social life in their main activities, which are seen as very functioning as the main pillar in the development of human resources and as a determinant of a nation's quality level. The research aims to determine the social interaction behavior of students in several faculties at Pattimura University. With a background of good student social interaction behavior in several faculties, a harmonious social relationship will be built between fellow students in the Pattimura University campus environment. This research is qualitative research, designed based on a constructive paradigm in which every speech and action community is not only interpreted from a particular perspective but needs to be understood holistically based on the cultural approach and characteristics of each region. This research is based on an interpretive paradigm that views the world and objects of human life from their experience and subjectivity and has different views from the positivistic paradigm. When the positivistic paradigm uses a basic premise with a short phrase, knowledge is un-problematic, the interpretive paradigm sees the opposite.

Management and Loss of Narrative Knowledge in Southwest Maluku (East-Indonesia) 1
Paideusis - Journal for Interdisciplinary and Cross-Cultural Studies: Volume 1 / 1998 ARTICLES EPITHETS AND EPITOMES: MANAGEMENT AND LOSS OF NARRATIVE KNOWLEDGE IN SOUTHWEST MALUKU (EAST-INDONESIA) 1 Aone van Engelenhoven Dep.Languages & Cultures SE Asia & Oceania Leiden University BOX 9515 2300 RA Leiden, Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The major vehicle for the transmission of cultural knowledge in SW Maluku used to be storytelling. Names and songs are the coordinates with which the audience evaluates the narrations and determines their truth value. After an ethnographic introduction, the function of names and songs in narratives is elaborated, exemplified by the ritual names of Leti Island and its main cultural hero. After discussing its management, it will be argued, that the mystification of storytelling inevitably results in the irreversible loss of narrative knowledge in SW Maluku and among its migrant community in the Netherlands. Key words: storytelling, onomastics, names, songs, knowledge. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Geographical and ethnographic background The extreme southwest of the Indonesian province Maluku features fifteen islands, which in maps dating before the Independence of the Republic were labeled as the Zuidwester eilanden (‘Southwestern Islands’). In colonial times there was one central administration for the entire region, initially placed in Serwaru (Leti), but later relocated in Wonreli (Kisar). 2 In the present time the islands have been regrouped into three independent subdistricts: the Babar Islands in the East (including Luang and Sermata), Leti, Moa and Lakor in the middle and the Southernmost Islands in the West (encompassing Kisar, Wetar, Roma and Damar). 3 In local folklore too, most of the islands are combined into one economical network called ‘The Guided Islands and Conducted Lands’ 4. -
Recent Bird Observations from Kisar Island, Lesser Sundas
Kuili/a Vol. 12 2003 54 - 58 Recent bird observations from Kisar Island, Lesser Sundas COLIN R. TRAINOR BirdLife lnternational-lndonesia Programme, PO Box 310 Boo, Bogor 16003, Indonesia. Current address: School of Science, Northern Territory University, Darwin, Northern Territory 0909, Australia. Email: [email protected] Summary ln September 2001 avifaunistic data were collected during a brief visit to the largely deforested island ofKisar (eastern Lesser Sundas). A total of 19 bird species were recorded including two new island records: Australian Pelican Pelecanus conspici1latus and Barn Swallow Himnclo rustica. Other interesting observations included the first sightings of the Little Friar bird Philemon citreogularis race hisserensis in almost lOO years. Study is needed to clarify the taxonomic distinctive ness of this taxon. The Rainbow Lorikeet Trichoglossus haematoclus and Olive-headed Lorikeet I euteles, known from nineteenth century records, were not recorded and may now be extinct. The 'South-west' islands were little studied in the twentieth century. Ornithological surveys of still forested islands such as We tar, Romang and Babar are a priority.

M. Chlenov Cultural Vocabulary As an Indicator of Interethnic Relations: Eastern Indonesian Evidence
M.

A. CHLENOV CULTURAL VOCABULARY AS AN INDICATOR OF INTERETHNIC RELATIONS: EASTERN INDONESIAN EVIDENCE Following a long interruption, Eastern Indonesian languages are once again attracting the attention of scholars, especially ethnolinguists and experts in comparative linguistics. This new wave of interest centres not only on the specific linguistic but also on the ethnographic and cultural position of Eastern Indonesia as a separate border area between Asia and Oceania. Among its many causes three principal factors should be singled out. First of all, in terms of linguistics, Eastern Indonesia is süll the least studied among the major geographical zones into which- the territory where Austronesian languages are found may be divided.1 Secondly, this area is particularly interesting because there is reason to believe that in the majority of languages on the Moluccan and Lesser Sunda Islands there is a large non-Austronesian substratum. It is known, for instance, that two non-Austronesian enclaves have survived to this day: the so-called North Halmahera languages and the languages of the Timor-Alor family. Recently, some convincing attempts have been made to place these two language groups within the framework of Papuan languages (Wurm 1977; Cowan 1965; Capell 1943-1945 and 1975). Thus it is possible to speak of a Papuan substratum in the languages of Eastern Indonesia. -
Lords of the Land, Lords of the Sea Voorstellen DEF.Indd 1 11-01-12 14:01 LORDS of the LAND, LORDS of the SEA
Lords of the land, lords sea Lords of the land, lords of the sea 1600-1800 and adaptation in early colonial Timor, Conflict Conflict and adaptation in early colonial Timor, 1600-1800 European traders and soldiers established a foothold on Timor in the course of the seventeenth century, motivated by the quest for the commercially vital sandalwood and the intense competition between the Dutch and the Portuguese. Lords of the land, lords of the sea focuses on two centuries of contacts between the indigenous polities on Timor and the early colonials, and covers the period 1600-1800. In contrast with most previous studies, the book treats Timor as a historical region in its own right, using a wide array of Dutch, Portuguese and other original sources, which are compared with the comprehensive corpus of oral tradition recorded on the island. From this rich material, a lively picture emerges of life and death in early Timorese society, the forms of trade, slavery, warfare, alliances, social life. The investigation demonstrates that the European groups, although having a role as ordering political forces, were only part of the political landscape of Timor. They relied on alliances where the distinction between ally and vassal was moot, and led to frequent conflicts and uprisings. During a slow and complicated process, the often turbulent political conditions involving Europeans, Eurasians, and Hans Hägerdal Timorese polities, paved the way for the later division of Timor into two spheres of roughly equal size. Hans Hägerdal (1960) is a Senior Lecturer in History at the Linnaeus University, Sweden. He has written extensively on East and Southeast Asian history.
