Introduction: Qualifying Sociality through Values
This introduction to the special issue Qualifying Sociality through Values interrogates the relationship between sociality and values, two concepts that have gained increasing traction in anthropology, but which have not previously been jointly considered.

Indigenous Micro-Ethnicity and Principles of Identification in Southeast Borneo
This article explores the nature of indigenous ethnicity in Borneo and its historical transformation. The principal focus is on Dayak ethnicity beneath the level of generic Dayak identity.

Thereby he has created a very useful analytical scheme, one which may be used, among other things, for analyzing modernization in many contex…

The conclusions overturn stereotypes of Dayak isolation and critique ahistorical analyses of cult…
