Our Garden Is the Sea: Contingency and improvisation in Mandar women's work
In the late 1980s, women in fishing communities on the southwest coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia, began to leave the looms on which they had woven fine silk sarongs. The alternative work they sought was fish-trading, on a scale that gave them considerably more mobility (and income) than women had enjoyed in the past. This article explores these changes in terms of discourses and practices of gender, emphasizing complementarity and competing state vi…
Tun Jugah of Sarawak: Colonialism and Iban Response
Visions and revisions: Toraja culture and the tourist gaze
Ethnic tourism, a consummate form of "collection," presupposes processes of ob-jectification that extend to "culture" itself. Such processes are not simply imposed by the demands of the international tourism industry; actors include indigenous peoples who are both "tourist objects" and reflective critics, whose cultural visions (and revisions) are shaped in part by a distinctive "tourist gaze" and in part by a dialogue with the state. These proce…

Great Performances: Toraja cultural identity in the 1970s
Ethnicity" and "identity" do not refer to fixed realities; their construction is a social process. This paper examines Toraja cultural identity as it has been shaped in recent years by the complementary movements of out-migration of Toraja youth and transient in-migration of Western tourists. For different reasons both movements have led to a focus on ritual as the defining feature of "Torajaness," and to a tendency to reify Toraja cultureasritua…

The Riches of the Undertaker
The months of July and August constitute the peak funeral season in Tana Toraja, in the highlands of southern Sulawesi. After the rice has been harvested and stored, Toraja families gather to bury and honor their dead through longawaited ceremonies: displays, affirmations, or sometimes recreations of status of both the living and their ancestors. The funeral season closes with a ritual called ma'nene' (nene' = ancestor), to honor the ancestors, a…
The Loon with the Ivory Eyes: A Study in Symbolic Archaeology
A SINGLE LOON SKULL WITH INSET EYES of carved ivory and pupils of jet, found with a human burial at Ipiutak, is the inspiration for this attempt to discover cultural themes associated with the loon for the Ipiutak people. Our goal is not so much a definitive reconstruction of the belief system based on archaeological evidence, but rather an exploration of the ways in which archaeological, mythological, and ethnographic material may fruitfully she…
