    Jakarta heritage, Kampung Tugu drs Dirk Teeuwen MSc 1. Front of Tugu Church, 2006 Kampung Tugu is located south from Tanjung Priok Port in the Dustrict of Cilincing Jakarta, formerly Batavia. The Dutch founded modern Jakarta in 1619, named it Batavia on March 13th , 1619. Tugu Village is a community of Portuguese descendents. Because they were, or became, of mixed blood, the Dutch called them “Black-Portuguese”. These Portuguese were taken prisoner of war in India, Malaysia and Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century. At first they were kept as slaves by the Dutch. But - after accepting the Christian protestant faith and after expressing their loyalty to the Dutch government - they could become free citizens. Dirk Teeuwen, Holland 1 Like I said, after doing so they got their merdeka, which means freedom. Because of that those Black Portuguese were also called “Mardijkers”, free people. A corruption of this Bahasa Indonesia word “merdeka”. The Mardijkers were not the only prisoners of war category in those days in and around Batavia. The Dutch took prisoner “black Spaniards” from the Philipines, from districts north from Manilla. They served mostly as soldiers, so-called Papangers, in the army of the Dutch East-Indian Company and specially as soldiers, encamped in the Company’s Batavia Castle (demolished about 1800, the castle I mean). After 1800, until 1907, Papangers served as ceremonial military guards in front of the Amsterdam Gate. This gate was only castle gate left from the olden days. Papangers merged more with the Batavian population than Mardijkers did. 2.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

Contemporary Phuthai Textiles Linda S. McIntosh Simon Fraser University [email protected] © Linda S. McIntosh 2004 The hand-woven textiles of the Phuthai ethnic group continue to represent Phuthai identity but also reflect exposure to foreign elements such as through trade and changes in the regional political power. If one asks a Phuthai woman what is Phuthai dress, she will answer, sin mii lae suea lap lai, or a skirt decorated with weft ikat technique and a fitted blouse of indigo dyed cotton, decorated with hand-woven, patterned red silk. Despite the use of synthetic dyes readily available in the local markets, many women still grow indigo and cotton, and indigo-stained hands and the repetitious sounds of weaving are still found in Phuthai villages. This paper focuses on the Phuthai living in Savannakhet Province, Laos, but they are also found in Khammuan, Bolikhamsay, and Salavan provinces of Laos as well as in Thailand and Vietnam.1 Contemporary refers to textile production in the last thirty years but particularly in the last ten years after the liberalization of the Lao government policies and the return of private business and tourism after the 1980s.

    Faculty of Humanities Institute for History Master’s Thesis A Distant Mirror: Violent Public Punishment in the VOC Batavia, 1729-1739 Submitted by Muhammad Asyrafi S2248891 Program: Colonial and Global History Supervisor: Prof. dr. J.L.L. Gommans Second reader: Dr. Alicia Schrikker October 2020 Leiden Abstract This thesis examines the violent colonial penal practice in VOC’s Batavia by comparing it with the penal practice in Amsterdam. This thesis argues that colonial penal practice is different compared to the penal practice in the metropole in various aspects. Using various primary sources, this thesis identifies these differences in five fields: the legal codex, the persons directly involved in the event, the location of execution, the procedure of execution, and the spectators at the event. The thesis seeks to find the extent of the use of violent measures in colonial penal practice resembles that in the metropole and to what extent does it differ.

  • 14. Subaltern Travelers in a Conglomerate World
    288 Northern Antiquities and National Identities 14. Subaltern Travelers in a Conglomerate World. Michael Harbsmeier In recent years travel accounts have attracted a great deal of attention from all sorts of historians engaged in structuralist and subsequently post-structuralist, post-colonial and other postmodern projects of de­ construction. Their focus has been the naive assumptions underlying traditional approaches to travel writing as transparent sources for a better understanding of the people and places described or the life, development and Bildung of the - usually white, male, adult - traveler describing them. However, as Tabish Khair has pointed out, earlier en­ thusiasm about unmasking colonial discourse, Orientalism and Imperial Eyes seems by now to be giving way to a more nuanced understanding of the reciprocity and negotiation, appropriation and resistance at play in travel writing that does not fit the image of European travelers writ­ ing about and trying to dominate the rest of the world.639 In what fol­ lows I will be dealing with a case in point: a series of accounts written by (northern, protestant, male) European, but nevertheless in important respects subaltern travelers. At first glance, Danish travel writing from the eighteenth century seems to have quite a lot in common with contemporary European trends. While seventeenth-century travel accounts predominantly dealt with more exotic destinations in the East and West Indies, those of the eigh­ teenth century increasingly covered also European itineraries. In the seventeenth and early eighteenth century the main focus was on the extraordinary and exceptional “curiosities” of the real world as well as the Kunst- und Wunderkammern closer to home, but later in the century travelers tended to pay much more attention to ordinary things, to the rules of daily life and the regularities of nature characteristic of the places they visited.

  • Economy, Magic and the Politics of Religious Change in Pre-Modern
    1 Economy, magic and the politics of religious change in pre-modern Scandinavia Hugh Atkinson Department of Scandinavian Studies University College London Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 28th May 2020 I, Hugh Atkinson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that these sources have been acknowledged in the thesis. 2 Abstract This dissertation undertook to investigate the social and religious dynamic at play in processes of religious conversion within two cultures, the Sámi and the Scandinavian (Norse). More specifically, it examined some particular forces bearing upon this process, forces originating from within the cultures in question, working, it is argued, to dispute, disrupt and thereby counteract the pressures placed upon these indigenous communities by the missionary campaigns each was subjected to. The two spheres of dispute or ambivalence towards the abandonment of indigenous religion and the adoption of the religion of the colonial institution (the Church) which were examined were: economic activity perceived as unsustainable without the 'safety net' of having recourse to appeal to supernatural powers to intervene when the economic affairs of the community suffered crisis; and the inheritance of ancestral tradition. Within the indigenous religious tradition of the Sámi communities selected as comparanda for the purposes of the study, ancestral tradition was embodied, articulated and transmitted by particular supernatural entities, personal guardian spirits. Intervention in economic affairs fell within the remit of these spirits, along with others, which may be characterized as guardian spirits of localities, and guardian spirits of particular groups of game animals (such as wild reindeer, fish).
