Celebrating Twenty Years of Tandem Research Training in Indonesia and Germany
In July 2024, the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Freiburg (UFR), Germany, and the Department of Anthropology at the Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Indonesia, celebrated together the 20th anniversary of their joint Tandem Research Training Programme. This hybrid event brought together 100 alumni from many parts of the world as well as colleagues from various disciplines and partner institutions who have contribu…
Envisioning Climate Politics From Below: Rural Indonesia in the Shadow of Climate Change
Climate Change is political ‘all the way down’. Yet, the nature of the ‘everyday politics’ emerging from below as climate change impacts rural societies remains underexamined. How do increasing climate variability and climate policies shape agrarian politics and rural futures? How, in turn, do agrarian politics, practices and aspirations for specific rural futures influence the perception of climate change and the implementation of climate polici…

Plural Ecologies in Southeast Asia: Hierarchies, Conflicts, and Coexistence
Indonesia’s current president Joko Widodo wants to develop Indonesia from its margins, with mixed results so far. One target area for capitalist investment are the Aru Islands in Maluku Province, Eastern Indonesia. Such investment plans rarely cater for cultural needs or analyse their social compatibility. Governments, investors and local population groups invoke diverging ecologies. Government and investor argue that nature must be adapted to th…
Perempuan Adat dan Kemiskinan: Pengalaman, Dilema, dan Tantangan dalam Penelitian Etnografi
This article stems from my experience of conducting ethnography on indigenous Dayak Benawan women in West Kalimantan for approximately two years. Documenting the experiences and knowledge of indigenous Dayak Benawan women was a challenge for me as a researcher, a man, and part of the Dayak Benawan people. Reflection on field data reveals that indigenous women of Dayak Benawan experience multiple oppressions of poverty, starting from the family sy…
Curing a Brain Tumor with High Tech Operations and the Help of Spirits: The Appropriation of Biomedicine among the Dayak Benuaq
This article analyses the appropriation of biomedicine among the Dayak Benuaq in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Taking the successful curing of a brain tumour as an example, I show how biomedicine is creatively intertwined with indigenous, animist healing practices in order to cure the patient comprehensively. I embed the case study within a broader discussion of modernity and enchantment, which have long been perceived as an opposing pair in wester…
Being a Parent in the Field: Implications and Challenges of Accompanied Fieldwork
How does being a parent in the field influence a researcher's positionality and the production of ethnographic knowledge? Based on regionally and thematically diverse cases, this collection explores methodological, theoretical, and ethical dimensions of accompanied fieldwork. The authors show how multiple familial relations and the presence of their children, partners, or other family members impact the immersion into the field and the constructi…

Translating Climate Change. Anthropology and the Travelling Idea of Climate Change - Introduction
In the prairies of Alberta, Canada, winters are cold, wood is scarce. This place is home to Native Americans – many of them are highly educated nowadays. One summer, a young Native American Chief, college-educated and incapable of reading the signs of Mother Nature, was asked by his people how cold the next winter will be. Embarrassed of not mastering the traditional skills for predicting the weather, and to be on the safe side, he said to his pe…

Rethinking Power Relations in Indonesia: Transforming the Margins
Resistance, Ritual Purification and Mediation: Tracing a Dayak Community's Sixteen-Year Search for Justice in East Kalimantan
In recent discussions on access to justice in Indonesia, little work has been done that illuminates the processes of conflict which inevitably arise in attempts to obtain justice based on informal actions and results, rather than on recourse to institutions. While many scholars and donor agencies tend to create the impression that non-institutional processes of justice-seeking are entirely unpredictable or ungoverned by regularities, in this arti…
Capturing nested spheres of poverty: A model for multidimensional poverty analysis and monitoring
In this paper the authors discuss recent trends in poverty concepts and suggest a locally adapted multidimensional model for measuring and monitoring poverty. The model comprises nested layers with subjective wellbeing in the centre surrounded by a core of health, wealth and knowledge, and a context that includes natural, economic, social and political spheres, as well as service and structural aspects. These nine facets of poverty cover basic ne…

Sex differences in aggressive behaviour in various strains of mice
Two nonalbino inbred (C57 BL/6 and C3H/He) and one albino strain (Swiss) of mice were compared for female aggression toward intruders: 1 in period of lactation, 2 in nonlactating state and (3) in nonlactating state but previously rubbed with urine of lactating females; and for male aggression toward familiar or unfamiliar opponents. The results showed that resident females of the C57 and Swiss strain vigorously attack lactating intruders introduc…
