Order and Disorder: Anthropological Perspectives
Disorder and instability are matters of continuing public concern. Terrorism, as a threat to global order, has been added to preoccupations with political unrest, deviance and crime. Such considerations have prompted the return to the classic anthropological issues of order and disorder. Examining order within the political and legal spheres and in contrasting local settings, the papers in this volume highlight its complex and contested nature. E…
United Kingdom: Life after number 10 – premiers emeritus and parliament
This article analyses the parliamentary activity of British former prime ministers. Focusing on the post-war ex-premiers, it sets out which former prime minister has been the most active in parliament; it analyses their activity according to party; and it analyses the difference in the levels of activity between those who go straight to the backbenches from Number 10 and those who occupy other office before doing so. This article establishes a ty…
A Drought in Bima: People and Their Gods
‘Drought in Bima’ uses the differing responses of the Dou Donggo and Bimanese to the drought crisis on Sumbawa in 1982 to illustrate the complex interplay between religion and society. Religious beliefs and rites of passage help people through crises and major changes in their lives. They accomplish this by providing ideas about how and why the world is put together, which allows people to accommodate anxieties and deal with misfortune. In comple…

Dead Goats and Broken Betrothals: Liability and equity in Dou Donggo law
This article looks at intentionality, causation and mitigation in calculations of legal liability among the Dou Donggo (Eastern Sumbawa, Indonesia). A specific case is used to explore a legal principle that makes a person liable for delicts that "might have" been committed, whether or not the accused has actually caused any damage. It is argued that this principle creates a "stricter-than-strict" liability without sacrificing equity. A comparativ…
Bimanese Personal Names: The View from Bima Town and Donggo

Let the Evidence Fit the Crime: Evidence, law, and "sociological truth" among the Dou Donggo
Among the Dou Donggo (Eastern Sumbawa, Indonesia), evidentiary proceedings are not used as legal discovery procedures to find out "what happened." In some cases conclusive, publicly known evidence is not sought or is ignored; in other cases evidence widely known to be false is admitted without dispute. Among the Dou Donggo, the truth represented by evidence is revealed to be a sociological, rather than a phenomenal, truth, and adjudication is con…
Some Indonesian Epistolary Conventions
It has long been claimed that the facilitation of intercultural communication is one of the more valuable services applied anthropology can offer the layman. Yet in the course of their researches ethnographers often encounter—and put to use—customs, conventions, and rules of etiquette pertaining to communication, but neglect to publish descriptions of them because of their apparent triviality or lack of broader ethnological interest. As a result …
Time and Leisure in the Elaboration of Culture
The amount of leisure time available to members of hunting-gathering societies appears to be far greater than formerly supposed. Current theories also hold that increasing sophistication in agricultural technology and cropping intensity result in progressively decreasing amounts of leisure for farmers. This requires a critical re-evaluation of that aspect of traditional "surplus theory" which sees adequate leisure for reflection and invention as …
