The Ramayana in the Literature and Visual Arts of Indonesia

Andrea Acri, Helen Creese, Arlo Griffiths (eds)

The Kakawin Ramayana, arguably the oldest Old Javanese epic text in Indic metres (circa 9th century AD), holds a unique position in the literary heritage of Indonesia. The poem has retained a remarkable vitality through the centuries in the Archipelago, inspiring many forms of artistic expression not only in the domain of literature but also in the visual and performing arts, from the reliefs of the majestic Central Javanese temples to modern puppet-show performances.

The state and illegality in Indonesia

Aspinall, Edward and Gerry van Klinken (eds)

The popular 1998 reformasi movement that brought down President Suharto’s regime demanded an end to illegal practices by state officials, from human rights abuse to nepotistic investments. Yet today, such practices have proven more resistant to reform than people had hoped.
 
Many have said corruption in Indonesia is "entrenched". We argue it is precisely this entrenched character that requires attention. What is state illegality entrenched in and how doe... more

Jan Verschueren's description of Yei-Nan culture

Baal, J. van

Joannis Cornelis Verschueren (1905-1970) worked as a Roman Catholic missionary in southern Irian from 1931 until 1970. In the 1950s he wrote a number of papers on the Yéi. These papers, based on older field notes and a research trip through the area, are recapitulated in this volume. Verschueren provides genuine inside information and his data are new and authentic. The four papers in this volume create a picture of a typical lowland culture with a surprising emphasis on headhunting... more

Society and environment in Siak and Eastern Sumatra, 1674-1827

Barnard, Timothy P.

Offering access to an extensive and resource-rich hinterland, eastern Sumatra was an important trading region between the Melaka Straits and the Minangkabau highlands of Sumatra prior to colonial rule. Traditionally under the control of Johor, the various communities in eastern Sumatra were united under the leadership of an adventurer named Raja Kecik in the early eighteenth century and formed an independent community along the Siak River. Over the next century Raja Kecik and his descenden... more

Penan histories

Contentious narratives in Upriver Sarawak

Bending, Tim

In the late 1980s the Penan of Sarawak, East Malaysia, became an environmentalist cause célèbre for a campaign of protests, blockading logging roads in an attempt to preserve the rainforest areas in which they lived. The explanation of this eruption of protest became a focus of political dispute. Penan Histories shows how this dispute was centred on the construction of different actors as the subjects of the protests – Should the protests be w... more

This ambitious, multifaceted study traces the history of Tana Toraja, from 1870 (40 years before the Dutch took control of the highlands) to the ... more

Frankrijk, Nederland en Indië en de wereldtentoonstellingen

Bloembergen, Marieke

Rondom 1900 brachten de wereldtentoonstellingen Frankrijk, Nederland en Nederlands-Indië letterlijk dichter bij elkaar. Terwijl Frankrijk uitblonk in het organi-seren van deze prestigieuze wedstrijden in de vooruitgang, maakte Nederland hier goede sier met zijn koloniën. Deze vertoningen van handelswaar, etnografische voorwerpen, tempels en complete Javaanse dorpen inclusief bewoners waren een groot succes in Frankrijk. Ze wakkerden vooral een (welhaast typisch Fra... more
