Socio-religious desegregation in an immediate postwar town Jaffna, Sri Lanka Delon MADAVAN PhD candidate and Junior Lecturer in Geography Université Paris-IV Sorbonne Laboratoire Espaces, Nature et Culture (UMR 8185) [email protected] Abstract The cease-fire agreement of 2002 between the Sri Lankan state and the separatist movement of Liberalisation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), was an opportunity to analyze the role of war and then of the cessation of fighting as a potential process of transformation of the segregation at Jaffna in the context of immediate post-war period. Indeed, the armed conflict (1987-2001), with the abolition of the caste system by the LTTE and repeated displacements of people, has been a breakdown for Jaffnese society. The weight of the hierarchical castes system and the one of religious communities, which partially determine the town's prewar population distribution, the choice of spouse, social networks of individuals, values and taboos of society, have been questioned as a result of the conflict.

  • A Comparative Investigation of the Self Image and Identity of Sri Lankans
    A Comparative Investigation of the Self Image and Identity of Sri Lankans Malathie P. Dissanayake Department of Psychology, West Chester University, West Chester, PA 19383; [email protected] Jasmin Tahmaseb McConatha Department of Psychology, West Chester University, West Chester, PA 19383; [email protected] The current study explores self image and identity of Sri Lankans in different social and cultural settings. It focuses on the role of major social identities in two ethnic groups: Sinhalese (the majority) and Tamils (the minority). Participants consisted of four groups: Sri Lankan Sinhalese, Sri Lankan Tamils, Sinhalese in USA, and Tamils in Canada. Seven self statement tests, ratings of the importance of major social identities, and eight common identity items under seven social identities were used to examine self identification. Findings suggest that religious identity plays a significant role in Sinhalese, whereas ethnic identity is the most significant in Tamils. All these identity measures suggest that the role of each social identity is different when it associates with different social settings, depending on how individuals value their social identities in particular social contexts. Keywords : Self Image, Ethnic Identity, Sri Lanka 1. INTRODUCTION Self image and identity are central to the ways in which people understand the world. Self image influences thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, goals, and plans across the life- span. Every person has a sense of self, a sense of “who they are”, which is comprised of physical, psychological, and social aspects of his or her life. The self has been described as the internal organization of external roles (Hormuth 1990). Matsumoto and Juang (2004) believe that the self concept is the organization of a person’s psychological traits, attributes, characteristics, and behaviors.

  • Sea Cucumber Pen Culture in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka U
    190 Sea Cucumber Pen Culture in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka U. Mallikarachchi†, M.A.J.C. Mallawa Arachchi and K. Arulanandan National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency, Sri Lanka †[email protected] Abstract: Worldwide increased demand for beche-de-mer encouraged overexploitation of wild stocks of tropical sea cucumbers and it has created motivation to sea cucumber aquaculture. Capture based sea cucumber aquaculture is completely a new experience to Sri Lanka. This research aimed to develop pen culture techniques for sea cucumbers and to familiarize fishing communities on sea cucumber aquaculture in Sri Lanka. Three pens were constructed in Gurunagar and Navanthurai lagoon area and one was constructed in the sea area at Mandaithivu in Jaffna district. Pens were constructed by using PVC net, blue shade net and with coconut planks. The size of each pen was 25m25m. Holthuria scabra juveniles were collected and the net pens were stocked at a density of two individual m-2. The water temperature and salinity were measured in weekly intervals. The average water temperature remained in 300C in all three sites. The bottom water salinity in Navanthurai site varied from 380C to 390C and other two sites shown similar salinity variation between 340C to 350C. The organic carbon content in Gurunagar, Navanthurai and in Mandathivu were 1.07%, 1.5% and 2.18% respectively. In the first four months the growth rates of Holothuria scabra at Gurunagar, Navanthurai and Mandaitheevu were 0.66gd-1, 0.96gd-1 and 1.23gd-1. The highest growth rate shown by juveniles stocked in Mandathivu and lowest growth rate shown in Gurunagar site.
