The Geological Mining Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia and the Preservation of the Obsidian Heritage in the Sardinian Territory
The Geological, Mining, Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia tells over 8000 years of exploitation of the island’s mineral resources, and history among the most lasting and fascinating planet. Starting from the Early Neolithic, local people began to exploit the Monte Arci volcanic complex for its obsidian, a rhyolitic volcanic glass erupted 3 million years ago, used for everyday objects production. Due to the rarity of obsidian sources i…
Zionism and Indigeneity in Eastern Indonesia: Reverberations of a Conflict Out of Bounds
This contribution explores the case of a street fight in an eastern Indonesian province in which pro-Palestine protesters clashed with a group of activists for indigenous religion. The event showcased how the Palestinian struggle is received through a web of polarising and religionising discourses in a seemingly distant context, such as that of eastern Indonesia, and how different and unexpected threads of solidarity are established locally. The …
Uncanny advocates. Conversion and Islamic-Buddhist encounters in New Order Indonesia (1965–1998)
This article explores the subject of religious crossing from the vantage point of a conversion narrative in New Order Indonesia. It follows the story of Ven. Sudhammo and his passage from an Islamic household into the monastic network of transnational Theravada Buddhism. By evoking the monk’s biography from the onset of Suharto’s regime up until its fall, the article casts light on the unfolding of voluntary conversion over extended periods of ti…
Buddhism in Indonesia: A Study of Multiple Revivals
Based on extensive original research, this book explores the history and current revival of Buddhism on the Indonesian island of Java. Beginning by tracing how Buddhism came to Java from India via southeast Asia, it considers how Buddhism has survived and adapted as Islam and Christianity became dominant. It goes on to report on detailed anthropological research both in a remote highland community, Temanggung, and in Java’s main cities including …
Lithic devotionality and other aesthetic strata: Buddhist garden shrines in rural Java
In this article I explore the contemporary practice of establishing garden shrines in Buddhist rural Java. While on the surface the placement of shrines follows the demands of environmental upgrading and beautification strategies, often in accord with eco-tourist imaginaries, the practice reveals a complex aggregation of material and discursive threads. The article situates the project, ethnographically, as a sensorial practice in which environme…
Knowledge Transmission in Javanese Karawitan: Is It Time for an Ontological Turn
The transmission of knowledge in the context of Javanese gamelan music underwent significant changes over the course of a busy twentieth century. Whereas the previously implied learning patterns involved the paramount importance of kinship and neighborhood ties, the postcolonial condition, embedded in a modern nation-state apparatus, promoted seemingly modern technologies of learning and transmission—notably written notation and academic institut…
