    Dengan membaca laporan penelitian "Kearifan Tradisional Masyarakat Nelayan Kampung Batunderang di Kepulauan Sangihe" ini, kita bisa melihat sebuah deskripsi yang cukupmendalam tentang konsep-konsep lokal tentang pelestarian lingkungan pesisir yang masih dipraktekkan dengan rasa percayadiri. Tentunya hal ini kita sambut dengan gembira, bahwa ditengah perubahan besar yang mengancam eksistensi pengetahuan lokal, terdapat suatu usaha-usaha untuk mempertahankan kualitas lingkungan yang berhasil. Waiau terdapat dorongan seperti menguatnya kapitalisme pasar, perubahan teknologi dan masuknya nilai-nilai baru, terlihat bahwa prinsip utama konservasi tetap dijalankan dengan menampilkan elemen-elemen kultural tradisional yang berjalan harmonis dengan etika keagamaan Kristen. Tentunya telah terjadi suatu revitalisasi tradisi yang diperkuat oleh institusi lokal. Hal-hal yang kiranya perlu dilakukan dimasa depan adalah membuat penelitian etnografi lanjutan di situs yang sama atau berdekatan, yang secara lebih fokus merekam proses-proses sosial yang terjadi yaitu merekam segala usaha-usaha nyata bagaimana masyarakat menggali kembali pengetahuan tradisionalnya dan membuatnya menjadi ideal dan relevan untuk masa kini

    Contested meaning of the nation-state through historical border narratives A case study of the Batang Kanyau Iban, West Kalimantan

    Nation as a cultural-psychological phenomenon is best understood in terms of how a sense of nationhood operates in order to construct social identities or a social imagination about the modern nation-state (Anderson 1983). The forging of nationalism as a national identity cannot be seen in isolation of the rise of modernization and industrialization (Gellner 1987). Although the nation appears to be a modern phenomenon, Smith (1991) stresses that every nation preserves its own past historical artefacts, narratives, and symbols for present-day needs. This model needs to be elaborated further as it is insufficient to understand how a sense of nationhood operates among borderlanders of a state. This paper relates the story of Kalimantan’s Iban borderlanders who are officially registered as Indonesian subjects but live on the dividing line between two countries. This makes them appear to be ambiguous subjects who are torn between the two different historical timelines of British and Dutch colonial history (as well as postcolonial Malaysian-Indonesian history). They are marginalized in every aspect and are the forgotten subjects in the history of the broader picture of Indonesia’s so-called nationalism project. The explanation is twofold. The first explains how identity is constructed as multi-layered historical narratives involving local and national cultures, and second, how transnational borderlanders give meaning to nation as narrative. The primary data for this article were collected in 2002 through a series of interviews in the village of Benua Sadap, an Iban settlement on the Batang Kanyau River, close to the West Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia) borderline

    In this article, the author assumes that the clear-cut distinction between modern and traditional arts is merely a form of scientific construction which needs to be re-examined. The political, social and cultural problems underlying the development of modern art, in particular in developing countries are quite different from those in Euro-American countries. Therefore, the artistic expressions are also different and cannot be analyzed in terms of aesthetical standard as developed in the West. The author provides evidences that the modern art in Indonesia has its own discourse. An intensive dialogue' between the traditional and the modern elements is going on. Three cases drawn from three artists are discussed in this article as the example of the ongoing dialogue
