Pluralities of Power in Indonesia's Intellectual Property Law, Regional Arts and Religious Freedom Debates
This article re-analyses historical Southeast Asian power concepts and practices to interpret contrasting positions on two contemporary Indonesian legal debates. The first debate concerns the use of intellectual property models to regulate regional arts or ‘traditional cultural expressions’. The second debate concerns a 2017 constitutional court ruling that advocates citizenship parity for ‘belief practitioners’, meaning those who maintain ancest…
Clark E. Cunningham’s Cutting-edge Contributions to Research on Biomedical Appropriation in Southeast Asia
Clark Edward Cunningham (1934-2020), professor emeritus at the University of Illinois (USA), pioneered the subfields of medical anthropology and biomedicine in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 1970s. Cunningham’s contributions to the anthropology of Thailand and Indonesia on health, social structure, symbolism, and houses, emerged from decades of fieldwork. His exemplary teaching and research influences endure. Beyond biographical details and …
Fields of the Lord
Religious and ethnic violence between Indonesia's Muslims and Christians escalated dramatically just before and after President Suharto resigned in 1998. In this first major ethnographic study of Christianization in Indonesia, Aragon delineates colonial and postcolonial circumstances contributing to the dynamics of these contemporary conflicts. Aragon's ethnography of Indonesian Christian minorities in Sulawesi combines a political economy of col…
Can Central Sulawesi Christians and Muslims get along? An Analysis of Indonesian Regional Conflict
Sulawesi Tengah acapkali digambarkan sebagai wilayah yang secara agamawi 'mudahtersulut', yang terletak secara geografis dan sosial di antara propinsi Sulawesi Selatan yang mayoritas Islam dengan propinsi Sulawesi Utara yang mayoritas Kristen. Bahkan, sejak awal abad keduapuluh, kolonial Belanda telah memilah penduduk dataran tinggi yang animis dan potensial untuk menjadi pemeluk agama Kristen dari penduduk dataran rendah beragama Islam. Sesudah …
Law versus lore
The spread of intellectual and cultural property laws and language to developing nations highlights tensions between individual and collective rights models. The Indonesian government's response was to redraw and meld the two types of law. Most Indonesian ‘traditional’ artists, however, reject the property assumptions of both legal regimes. This article portrays how the world's fourth most populous nation, Indonesia, reacted to multinational corp…

The problems of owning culture
In our digital age when most movies viewed at home carry Interpol warnings that copyright piracy is a crime, yet patented medicines are unaffordable for millions, ethical debates about intellectual property rights and freedom of information are becoming widespread. But a less noticed topic in these debates is the recent international effort to expand and implement Euro-American models of intellectual property law among peoples whose daily activit…
Copyrighting Culture for the Nation? Intangible Property Nationalism and the Regional Arts of Indonesia
This article analyzes how intangible cultural expressions are re-scripted as national intellectual and cultural property in postcolonial nations such as Indonesia. The mixing of intellectual and cultural property paradigms to frame folkloric art practices as national possessions, termed "intangible property nationalism," is assessed through consideration of Indonesia's 2002 copyright law, UNESCO heritage discourse, and the tutoring of ASEAN offic…
Where Commons Meet Commerce
Production commons require social maintenance or stewardship. Stewardship practices, meaning patterns of valuing and caring for cultural resources, often restrict or foster access to knowledge within or beyond a self-defined group. I term these two protective but seemingly oppositional strategies as "sequestration" and "circulation," respectively. How can we account for individual and group differences in the willingness to share knowledge and te…
Arts and owners
International and national agendas are redesigning the terms of intellectual-property (IP) laws to create cultural property for developing nations. Debates over IP and cultural-property "rights" or legal needs for "protection" are critical to anthropology's effort to reflect on how the production of knowledge, even culture itself, is variously construed to originate with, or "belong to," particular individuals, ethnic communities, or nation-state…

Chapter 2. Collective Burials and Community Memories
Burial, the ritual interment of the dead, is guided by cultural ideas and traditions concerning the “afterlife” and continued relationships of the living with ancestors. Mortuary rituals of several stages woven into lengthy ritual cycles are often practiced by societies in which kinship is the principal means of social organization and the sponsorship of feasts advances kin group status. We compare ethnographic examples from Indonesia with archae…
Commentary
Fields of the Lord
Religious and ethnic violence between Indonesia's Muslim majority and Christian minorities escalated dramatically after Suharto resigned in 1998. In this ethnographic study of Christianization in Indonesia, Lorraine Aragon delineates some of the background to this conflict. The work departs from many studies of comparative religion by positing that religions - like cultural groups - no longer can be considered as isolated or inherently orthodox e…
The Mission of Cultural Creation
Albert Schrauwers's book on missionization in eastern Central Sulawesi neatly bounds its subject between the end of the nineteenth and the end of the twentieth centuries, two fin de siecle moments.His incisive portrayal of how Protestant missionaries brought sociopolitical transformation to the Lake Poso region during that one hundred years illuminates an interesting Indonesian case of religious rationalization.It also invites reflection on the t…
Communal Violence in Poso, Central Sulawesi
Tales of Conflict, Politics of DivisionIn July 2 0 0 0 ,1 traveled on a crowded bus south from Central Sulawesi's Muslimmajority capital, Palu, to the Protestant-majority highlands.Protestant and Muslim passengers around me, previously strangers, chatted about the reprehensibility of the violence occurring just two hundred kilometers east in Poso.A Muslim elder on the bus concluded the conversation by saying, "In Palu people eat fish, but in Poso…
The currency of Indonesian regional textiles
Indonesian regional textiles that formerly circulated locally for practical and ritual purposes were identified by New Order government authorities for wider marketing to serve the purposes of economic and national development. This article, based primarily on data from a 1996 Indonesian government-sponsored textile symposium, explores the transformation and representation of particular regional textile genres, as well as the equation by Indonesi…
Japanese Time” and the Mica Mine
During World War II, Japanese soldiers forced highlanders in western Central Sulawesi to operate a mica mine. Questions about the mine's purpose are clarified by examining mica's strategic uses for wartime electronics. Accounts of the occupation by highlanders contribute to understanding changes in their post-war religious and ethnic identities
Reorganizing the Cosmology
Converted by Salvation Army missionaries in the 1920s, Tobaku people in western Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, have made Protestantism indigenous by re-classifying deities and interpreting biblical texts and teachings to support local political, moral, and spiritual expectations. This article discusses twentieth-century changes in deity concepts and ritual practice among the Tobaku

Twisting the Gift
In this article I reexamine the relationship between gift giving and hierarchy using data about early-20th-century colonial contacts in western Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Dutch colonial officials and European missionaries disrupted prior community and regional exchange patterns and initiated strategic policies of asymmetric interethnic gift giving that elevated European missionaries and officials as political and spiritual sources of power
