Victory Without Surrender
Victoire sans capitulation : le jihad à Aceh. La guerre coloniale contre Aceh eut deux définitions distinctes. Pour les Néerlandais, il s’agissait d’une guerre entre États résolue par l’imposition d’un ordre politique sans rapport avec celui qu’il remplaça. Du côté acihais, l’imposition de cet ordre ne signalait pas la fin du conflit. Aceh n’a jamais capitulé, tout d’abord parce qu’il n’y avait plus de responsables capables de remettre le royaume…
False Beggars
A gift to be a gift must be generous. But one gives to others. This makes giving less than generous, stimulating as it does a reflection of oneself that leaves the giver interested. And yet there are what the world calls "gifts." To explain how this might be possible is the object of the essay. Beginning with an ethnographic perspective it focuses on Marcel Mauss and a few of his commentators
Naming the Witch
Naming the Witch explores the recent series of witchcraft accusations and killings in East Java, which spread as the Suharto regime slipped into crisis and then fell. After many years of ethnographic work focusing on the origins and nature of violence in Indonesia, Siegel came to the conclusion that previous anthropological explanations of witchcraft and magic, mostly based on sociological conceptions but also including the work of E.E. Evans-Pri…
The Idea of Indonesia Continues. The Middle Class Ignores Acehnese
James Siegel Les tueries à Aceh continuent à un rythme soutenu. Certaines de ces tueries sont rapportées dans les journaux de Jakarta sans toutefois susciter de fortes réactions, ou au moins la formulation d'opinions politiques. Cet article s'intéresse à l'évolution des mythes nationalistes et s'efforce d'expliquer cette évolution
Some Views of East Javanese Sorcery

Invincible Kitsch or as Tourists in the Age of Des Alwi
The Banda Islands lie about 1,500 miles from Jakarta, more or less the same distance from the Indonesian capital as Bangkok. The main town on the islands, Bandaneira, is set on an island, Neira (sometimes Naira), only a few kilometers from end to end. Across its harbor is an almost perfect cone, the volcanic mountain Gunung Api, whose slopes enter the sea with only the slightest flange at their base. Less than 700 meters in height, its dwarf size…
Shadow and Sound
Academic Work
Many American universities were founded outside cities, often in places that evoke the admiration of European visitors for their beauty and sometimes their surprise as well that one would think of having a university in such an environment. The attempt to separate the university from the rest of society continues even where the city has caught up to the university, as, for instance, in the case of Harvard. Every attempt is made to keep the bounda…
Shadow and Sound
Atjeh was a kingdom in northern Sumatra which had a long history ofrebellion and unrest. As a Mulim Sultanate from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, Atjeh engaged in internalpolitical struggle. Since the nineteenth century, Atjeh has been under Dutch, Japanese, or Indonesian control - domination to which the Atjeh never passively yielded.

Culture and Politics in Indonesia
In these essays, scholars from the United States and Indonesia identify some of the cultural roots of Indonesian political behavior. The authors, representing the fields of anthropology, history, and political science, make clear how traditional institutions, beliefs, values, and ethnic origins affect conceptions of power and rebellion, influence political party affiliations, and create new modes of cultural expression.
