INTRODUCTION We are two postgraduate students who have just completed the MSc in Science Media Production at Imperial College London. In the summer of 2005, we visited a very remote region of South East Sulawesi in Indonesia to make a documentary film about the Bajo community of Sampela. 2. EXPEDITION AIMS Our original aims were set down in our applications for funding as follows: • To make a documentary film about the Bajo community of Sampela. This will raise awareness in the West of the problematic situation outlined in the proposal. By closely involving the Bajo in the film’s production, we will also give the community the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings and tell their story. • To aid the conservation work carried out in Sulawesi by Operation Wallacea by producing a version of the film in Indonesian and Bajo to raise awareness in Sampela and Kaledupa of the danger that is faced from the collapsing fishery. -
J. Hooykaas the Rainbow in Ancient Indonesian Religion In

THOMASCAMPBELL, TO the Rainbow st. 2 Introductwn. earth is not without a bond with heaven. The Bible tells US that in a fine passage, where the rainbow appeared as a token of Ethis bond, Gen. IX.13: I do set My bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. The Greeks also knew, that, however easy-going their gods might be, there was a link between them and mortal men. That link was represented by Homer as the fleet-footed Iris, who with later poets became the personification of the rainbow. A beautiful picture of the Lord in a 12th century English psalter 1 shows that the rainbow also in Christian conception keeps its place as 'a token of a covenant', for Christ, in that picture, is seated on a rain- bow, with His feet nesting on a smaller bow. Thus we Europeans are acquainted with the rainbow as the bond between heaven and earth through both sources of culture which still nourish our civilisation. It hardly needs emphasizing, that each religion has its own view ofthe rainbow. -
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. -

Si toi and Si oi-akek as immigrants acquire land from the government that now controls the land. The desire to have the land in the nuclear family has been going on with the purchase, even though most of the land is communal property. This condition is not supported by the official land ownership, either by Si bakkat laggai and migrants since not been able to pay the taxes so as to create the conditions that have not been evident in land ownership. 1 Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan hasil penelitian di Dusun Madobag Kecamatan Siberut Selatan Kabupaten Mentawai yang didanai DIPA APBN-P UNP tahun anggaran 2012. 2 Pendahuluan menggambarkan pola makan dan Mentawai sudah sangat terkenal di enkulturasi nilai berburu kepada anak, di antara para peneliti, mulai dari penelitian samping itu Person dan Schefold telah mengenai kandungan alam terutama isi mengumpulkan banyak tulisan yang hutannya dan penelitian sosial budaya diseminarkan dan dibukukan sebagai masyarakatnya.

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. -

Hammons Recent studies in the anthropology of mobility tend to privilege the cultural imaginaries in which human movements are embedded rather than the actual, physical movements of people through space. This article offers an ethnographic case study in which ‘imagined mobility’ is limited to people who are not mobile, who are immobile or sedentary and thus reflects a ‘sedentarist metaphysics’. The case comes from the island of Siberut, the largest of the Mentawai Islands off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, where government modernisation programs in the second half of the twentieth century focused on relocating clans from their ancestral lands to model, multi-clan villages and on converting people from the indigenous religion to Christianity. -
Religious Pluralism in Asia an Indonesian Experience
140 Religious pluralism in Asia An Indonesian experience A. Nunuk P. Murniati SIA IS A CONTINENT OF DIVERSITY. On this vast landscape live A innumerable communities and societies which modernity has compressed, for better or worse, into nation-states. Indonesia is one such nation-state, the largest archipelago in the world, consisting of thousands of islands - major islands, such as Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan, middle-sized islands such as the Moluccas, and a coterie of islands from Bali east of Java to West Timor above Australia. There are more than three hundred ethnic groups in Indonesia, each with its own language. Such linguistic differences mirror the diversity in history, customs and traditions of the people inhabiting the archipelago. 1 The ending of fifty years of dictatorship and imposed 'nationhood' in 1998 made this diversity a major issue in present-day Indonesia, not least in the local conflicts which erupted. In this article my argument is that it is essential to recognize indigenous cultural values and their interaction as the route to local harmony and conflict resolution in a society as complex as Indonesia. In Asia religion is rooted in the belief that life is part of a cosmic order; the transcendent and the immanent are inseparable. The ethics of community life is derived from such a spirituality. A brief historical sketch will set the scene. Studies of the people's life in the archipelago prior to centuries of colonization are still in their infancy. However, the arrivals of the Portuguese, Chinese, Gujaratis, Persians, Dutch and Japanese left considerable marks on the lives of the indigenous people. -
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.
