  • Oktavianus, LANDSCAPE of CULTURAL IDENTITY at RUMAH
    JATI-Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, Volume 24(2), December 2019, 155-175 ISSN 1823-4127/e-ISSN 2600-8653 LANDSCAPE OF CULTURAL IDENTITY AT RUMAH MAKAN MINANG Oktavianus Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Andalas Kampus Limau Manis Padang, Indonesia ([email protected]) DOI: https://doi.org/10.22452/jati.vol24no2.9 Abstract Every ethnic group in the world has its own cultural identity. It marks the characteristic and indicates the uniqueness of a particular ethnic group. The landscape of cultural identity is very complex and dynamic. Continuous studies are needed. This research is an attempt to investigate the landscape of cultural identity of one ethnic group in Indonesia. The research is conducted on Rumah Makan Minang (RM Minang) – the culinary business of Minangkabau people of West Sumatera. The signs used at RM Minang are assumed to represent cultural identities. The data for this research is taken from RM Minang in Sumatera, Java, Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi, Papua and Kuala Lumpur. The analysis of data is conducted from the perspective of the linguistic and nonlinguistic landscape through a multimodal approach. In terms of the form, the result of the analysis indicates that the landscape of cultural identity at RM Minang consists of linguistic and nonlinguistic signs marking Minangkabau, national and foreign cultural identity. In terms of design, the landscape of cultural identity at RM Minang always uses different semiotic modes in one text to construct cultural identity. Keywords: landscape, cultural identity, linguistic sign, nonlinguistic sign, Rumah Makan Minang (RM Minang) Introduction The use of language in a broad sense to fulfil human needs and to run their life is very complex.

  • Matrilineal Inheritance and Migration in a Minangkabau Community R. J
    M atrilineal Inheritance and M igration in a M inangkabau Community R. J. Chadwick Minangkabau and Marantau The matrilineal and uxorilocal Minangkabau population of West Sumatra is composed of about five hundred self-contained communities called nagari. These communities are geographically discrete, largely endogamous, and formerly self-governing.1 Each nagari has a specific ecological and economic adaptation according to its situation at home2 and pro­ duces a specific adaptation to city life among its very large emigre population. Migration from one's home nagari to another area is called marantau. Marantau is an ancient trend among the Minangkabau,3 is intrinsic to immemorial social process, and is functionally implicated in the social structure of villages in the homeland. But even in the 1 During my first fieldwork in Minangkabau, Koto Anu, the community I researched, did not constitute an ad­ ministrative unit in its own right. Together with a distant neighbor, the nagari Koto Apo, it was one part of an artificially created administrative unit, the kenegarian of Kaduo Koto (the two settlements). Under Dutch rule, it constituted one of the six communities in a different administrative unit, the lareh of Anam Koto (six settle­ ments). Neither lareh nor kenegarian were perceived as having any sociological relevance for Koto Anu people. (Like Koto Anu, the names Koto Apo, Kaduo Koto, and Anam Koto are pseudonyms.) The Village Law of 1979 (see Tsuyoshi Kato, "Different Fields, Similar Locusts: Adat Communities and The Village Law of 1979 in Indo­ nesia" Indonesia 20:89-114) constituted Koto Anu as a minimal administrative unit (desa) for the first time in liv­ ing memory and thus redressed the situation for Koto Anu people, at least.

  • Masculinities in Forests; Representations of Diversity
    MASCULINITIES IN FORESTS Masculinities in Forests: Representations of Diversity demonstrates the wide variability in ideas about, and practice of, masculinity in different forests, and how these relate to forest management. While forestry is widely considered a masculine domain, a significant portion of the literature on gender and development focuses on the role of women, not men. This book addresses this gap and also highlights how there are significant, demonstrable differences in masculinities from forest to forest. The book develops a simple conceptual framework for considering masculinities, one which both acknowledges the stability or enduring quality of masculinities, but also the significant masculinity-related options available to individual men within any given culture. The author draws on her own life, building on her long-term experience working globally in the conservation and development worlds, also observing masculinities among such professionals. The core of the book examines masculinities, based on long-term ethnographic research in the rural Pacific Northwest of the US; Long Segar, East Kalimantan; and Sitiung, West Sumatra, both in Indonesia. The author concludes by pulling together the various strands of masculine identities and discussing the implications of these various versions of masculinity for forest management. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of forestry, gender studies and conservation and development, as well as practitioners and NGOs working in these fields. Carol J. Pierce Colfer is a Senior Associate at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and Visiting Scholar at Cornell University’s Southeast Asia Program, Ithaca, New York, USA. She is author/editor of numerous books, including co-editor of The Earthscan Reader on Gender and Forests (Routledge, 2017) and Gender and Forests: Climate Change, Tenure, Value Change and Emerging Issues (Routledge, 2016).

  • Mobility of Merantau As a Sociocultural Practice in Indonesia
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Lirias 1 The (Im)Mobility of Merantau as a Sociocultural Practice in Indonesia Noel B. Salazar Anthropology has developed greatly, as a discipline, through the study of (small) island societies. Many early anthropological inter- pretations, however, focused on internal processes so exclusively that inter-island exchange networks were easily overlooked. However, conceptions of both ‘other’ and ‘self’, as well as notions of ‘travel’ and ‘home’, have stemmed from these mobile interactions (Tagliacozzo 2009). Like places or locations more generally, ‘home’ is not concep- tualized as fixed and static but as being generated through various and often messy relations between people and places (cf. Green 2013). As various chapters in this volume show, movement often involves place-making. On the islands of Vanuatu, for example, trees are a widespread symbol of stability, while canoes, like any other means of transport, index motion. The metaphorical image of crafting canoes out of trees captures the idea that movement can help to gain social stability (Bonnemaison 1984). Similarly, in insular Southeast Asia, the boat has traditionally been a metaphor for the ‘ordered social group’. The boat metaphor, in Indonesia in particular, refers to an ‘ocean- going society’ but also a ‘disciplined’ and ‘hierarchical’ social system that is necessary for ‘safety and great mobility’ (Wolters 1999: 180). Indonesia is an archipelago of more than six thousand inhab- ited islands in Asia Pacific, at the crossroads of Southeast Asia and Oceania. Its scattered geography has been conducive to mobility between, and beyond, the islands, including complex systems of cir- cular movements and various forms of migration and cross-cultural 22 ◆ Noel B.
