November 2010 Media Summary, Library of Congress Jakarta 1st Quarter FY 2017 Acquisitions Highlight Library of Congress, Southeast Asia 1st Quarter FY 2017 Acquisitions Highlight “History in South East Asia” Foreword This quarter’s highlights looks at two areas of collecting: History and Art. History has long been central to the collection activities of the office. In recent years, the rise of contemporary Asian art and architecture has produced exceptional art books both the large coffee-table titles and more scholarly studies. The history of Southeast Asia is as diverse as its people. Sweeping histories of the region provide overview that helps to link the nations while local histories with their focused analysis add context to the larger perspective. Thematic histories whether histories of art and crafts, industries, or religion, provide a unique lens to both broad and local histories. Some of the histories tell a contemporary story beyond the actual events in the book. The opening of democratic space allow authors to question official events; or governments or corporations may seek promote an official view of events. In both instances, the writing reveals the present as much as the past. Histories in Southeast Asia include anthropological writings about ethnic groups within a modern nation-state. These are like local histories with people rather than events being the focus of the author. Such histories are vital as sub-national groups become integrated into larger national cultural definitions. Legal historians continue to produce works that trace current laws and legal development in the region that can enlightened current foreign affairs. This is the case of recent work in the Philippines on the South China Sea. I enjoy reviewing the many art and architectural histories that are acquired by the offices. The history of Buddhist and Hindu art in the region continues to receive a lot of attention with increasing recognition of the influence of Southeast Asia art on India. The Jakarta office work to document the manuscripts, museums, and libraries important to the writing of history. In Southeast Asia, important manuscripts continue to be translated or transcribed to ensure a wider reading audience. Historical fiction is popular in Southeast Asia with stories of kingdoms, colonialization, and wars won and lost. The best historical fiction takes the reader to another time through good research and fast-paced writing. Evident in many of the titles reviewed is the diverse understanding of history and its role in contemporary society. 1st Quarter FY 2017 Acquisitions Highlight Library of Congress Southeast Asia Monographs Burma LCCN 2016326451 Mranʻ mā Praññʻ mha ʼa mrokʻ cacʻ saññʻ myāʺ : ‡b Mranʻ mā Nuiṅʻ ṅaṃ Toṅʻṅū khetʻ mha Kunʻʺ bhoṅʻ khētʻ nhoṅʻ puiṅʻʺ ʼa thi tā vanʻ thamʻʺ choṅʻ khaiʹ kra so bhu raṅʻ gyī ʼa mrokʻ cacʻ saññʻ myāʺ ʼa kroṅʻʺ / ‡c Gyimʻʺcʻ Mraṅʻʹ Chve. – Yangon, Myanmar : Myanmar Heritage Publications, 2016.

This lauditory volume covers development of Islamic law; Sultans and the palace; the role of the Ulama after the arrival of Dutch when they focused less on education then their wars against the Dutch occupation. In a region where Islam and role of the Ulama remain important this is timely study.

  • Srimpi Gadhěg Putri: a Traditional Dance of Pakualaman in the Langěn Wibawa’S Manuscript
    International Journal of the Malay World and Civilisation 8(1), 2020: 47 - 57 (https://doi.org/10.17576/jatma-2020-0801-05) Srimpi Gadhěg Putri: A Traditional Dance of Pakualaman in The Langěn Wibawa’s Manuscript Srimpi Gadhěg Putri: Tari Klasik Pakualaman dalam Naskah Langěn Wibawa MUHAMMAD BAGUS FEBRIYANTO & TITIK PUDJIASTUTI ABSTRACT Langěn Wibawa manuscript (thereafter abbreviated LW) with collection code of LL 20, belonging to the collection of Pura Pakualaman Yogyakarta Library, is a performing art-genre manuscript. This manuscript documents 28 dances in Kadipaten Pakualaman during Paku Alam IV reign. One of dances documented in LW manuscript is Srimpi Gadhěg Putri. Post-Paku IV reign, the Srimpi Gadhěg Putri was no longer recognized for its repertoire presentation. The disconnected preservation of Srimpi Gadhěg Putri dance whips the spirit to restudy the dance’s construction. By means of LW text, information on dance is dug and studied in order to be known by the public. Primary data of Javanese-language and letter manuscript was obtained using philological method yielding LW text edition. The next method, ethnochoreology, was used to study the component of Srimpi Gadhěg Putri dance including theme, music, dance arena, tata lampah dan tata rakit, and fashion and property. Considering the result of analysis, it can be seen that Srimpi Gadhěg Putri dance holds on standard rule of srimpi dance called lampah bědhayan, and refers to Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta dance tradition. Although following the rule of Srimpi dance in general, Srimpi Gadhěg Putri dance has such characteristics as kapang-kapang majěng procession in two stages, kaci fashion for the character of jaja and kandha narrative sang.

Our ways of life are sustainable and nature friendly and these traditions and practices have been taught and passed on from one generation to the next. But now because of State policies and waves of modernisation we are struggling to preserve and maintain our traditional ways of life” Mr. Joni Odochao, Intellectual, Karen ethnic, Opening Speech at the Indigenous Peoples Day Festival in Chiangmai, Northern Thailand 2007 Introduction on Indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in Thailand 1 The coalition was established as a loose network at the Workshop Programme on 5th July 2012 on the Shadow Report on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) organised by the Ethnic Studies and Development Center, Sociology Faculty, Chiangmai University in cooperation with Cross Cultural Foundation and the Highland Peoples Taskforce 1 2. The Network of Indigenous Peoples in Thailand2, in the International Working Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) yearbook on 2008, explained the background of indigenous peoples in Thailand. The indigenous people of Thailand are most commonly referred to as “hill tribes”, sometimes as “ethnic minorities”, and the ten officially recognised ethnic groups are usually called “chao khao” (meaning “hill/mountain people” or “highlanders”). These and other indigenous people live in the North and North-western parts of the country. A few other indigenous groups live in the North-east and indigenous fishing communities and a small population of hunter-gatherers inhabit the South of Thailand.

February 2020 © Copyright by Dayne O’Meara 2020 All rights reserved Statement of Originality This thesis is the original work of the author. All sources used and assistance obtained have been acknowledged. Dayne O’Meara February 2020 ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to a number of people who have helped me over not only the four years of working on this project but also my journey to anthropology before that. The first person I would like to thank has not been directly involved in this thesis but is the person I credit with starting me down this path. She continues to be a valued friend and support. Tanya King was one of my undergraduate lecturers at Deakin University in Geelong, and she supervised my Honours thesis. I entered her introduction to anthropology class in 2009 as a relatively close-minded student. After a few weeks, my whole outlook on the world changed dramatically. My motivations for learning about other peoples shifted, and my passion for the discipline of anthropology was born. The others who taught me at Deakin also influenced me greatly to reach this point. Thanks also to Rohan Bastin, Roland Kapferer, and Richard Sutcliffe for guiding me through anthropology from 2009–2012. After relocating to the Australian National University in Canberra for postgraduate studies, I met Ajarn Chintana Sandilands, to whom I owe an enormous debt of gratitude for her patience, passion, and tenacity.

    Endogami: Jurnal Ilmiah Kajian Antropologi Vol. 3 No. 2 : Juni 2020 E-ISSN : 2599-1078 Partisipasi Masyarakat Kampung Kauman pada Tradisi Sekaten di Keraton Yogyakarta Rosa Novia Sapphira 1, Eko Punto Hendro 1, Amirudin 1 1Program Studi Antropologi Sosial, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Diponegoro Jl. Prof. Sudharto, SH, Kampus Tembalang Semarang – 50275 E-mail: [email protected]; E-mail: [email protected]; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The existence of Sekaten tradition in The Yogyakarta Palace is one form of Javanese cultural heritage that is still preserved by the community until this day. According to the history, the emergence of Sekaten Tradition was not only to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, but also an initiation by Wali Sanga as an effort to spread the religion of Islam. The phenomenon of religious and cultural relations can be seen directly in the Sekaten Tradition held in Yogyakarta and its relation to the Kauman Yogyakarta Community. In fact, Sekaten with mystical traditional colors still exist in Kauman Village, where the majority of their people are identical with Islam and Muhammadiyah. They were accepted Sekaten's presence, even participated in those celebration. So that, the Sekaten tradition which always smells things that are forbidden by Islam, can continue to run well in every year. Kata Kunci: Traditional Ritual, Tradisional, Sekaten Tradition, Kauman, Ngayogyakarta Palace 1. Pendahuluan Upacara tradisional ialah kegiatan sosial yang melibatkan para warga masyarakat dalam usaha mencapai tujuan keselamatan bersama. Kelestarian dari upacara tradisional dipengaruhi oleh tujuan dan fungsi upacara itu sendiri bagi kehidupan masyarakat pendukungnya, sehingga upacara tradisional dapat mengalami kepunahan apabila tidak memiliki fungsi sama sekali di dalam kehidupan masyarakat pendukungnya (Suratmin, 1991-1992: 1).

    The Categorically Disaggregated Conflict (CDC) Dataset Codebook (Version 1.0, 2015.07) (Presented in Bartusevičius, Henrikas (2015) Introducing the Categorically Disaggregated Conflict (CDC) dataset. Forthcoming in Conflict Management and Peace Science) The Categorically Disaggregated Conflict (CDC) Dataset provides a categorization of 331 intrastate armed conflicts recorded between 1946 and 2010 into four categories: 1. Ethnic governmental; 2. Ethnic territorial; 3. Non-ethnic governmental; 4. Non-ethnic territorial. The dataset uses the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset v.4-2011, 1946 – 2010 (Themnér & Wallensteen, 2011; also Gleditsch et al., 2002) as a base (and thus is an extension of the UCDP/PRIO dataset). Therefore, the dataset employs the UCDP/PRIO’s operational definition of an aggregate armed conflict: a contested incompatibility that concerns government and/or territory where the use of armed force between two parties, of which at least one is the government of a state, results in at least 25 battle-related deaths (Themnér, 2011: 1). The dataset contains only internal and internationalized internal armed conflicts listed in the UCDP/PRIO dataset. Internal armed conflict ‘occurs between the government of a state and one or more internal opposition group(s) without intervention from other states’ (ibid.: 9). Internationalized internal armed conflict ‘occurs between the government of a state and one or more internal opposition group(s) with intervention from other states (secondary parties) on one or both sides’(ibid.). For full definitions and further details please consult the 1 codebook of the UCDP/PRIO dataset (ibid.) and the website of the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University: http://www.pcr.uu.se/research/ucdp/definitions/.

Nicholas Farrelly takes us even further afi eld with a stimulating and critical account of the way in which Thai scholars have approached the Tai groups of northeastern India. This builds on his previous critique of Thai writing on the Shan, which was submitted as an Honours Thesis at the Australian National University in 2003. And Runako Samata, in an extract from her Master’s Thesis at Chiang Mai University, gives a detailed account of some aspects of cabbage production by the Karen of Thailand, pointing to close relations with neighbouring groups and complexifying the often trite identifi cations of commercial production with non-Karen peoples. For recent discussions of this important issue see, for example, Yos Santasombat’s “Karen Cultural Capital and the political ecology of symbolic power” in Asian Ethnicity 5:1, 2004 and Andrew Walker’s comment Phra Upakhut, Wat Upakhut, Chiang Mai.
