Between poison and food, a “neutralizer” class in Borneo taxonomies
While the tiger is not known to exist in Borneo today, it has a substantial reality in indigenous communities’ historical traditions, oral literatures, beliefs, and rituals, especially among the Aoheng Dayak of the island’s center. A peculiar episode of an Aoheng myth featuring a Tiger character as a culture hero and a special plant of assumed cultural importance is the starting point of a wide-ranging exploration into, first, a connection betwee…
Fashioning Cultural Representations
Photographic images of interior Dutch Borneo’s nature and, more particularly, her peoples and cultures are examined as they were produced and used around the turn of the twentieth century, from their creation in the context of pioneer exploration across the island to their presentation and display, in various forms, for consumption by the general public back in Europe. A young Dutch army medical officer, later university professor, Anton Nieuwenh…
Đinh Trọng Hiếu & Emmanuel Poisson, Le bambou au Vietnam. Une approche anthropologique et historique
1. Les bambous sont-ils des herbes, comme les définissent les botanistes, ou bien des arbres, comme semble fermement l’envisager la langue vietnamienne ? Grave question existentielle, soulevée ici dès les préliminaires. Ignorantes de la nomenclature binominale linnéenne autant que des principes de classification de Brent Berlin (1992), certaines taxonomies de sociétés traditionnelles, comme à Bornéo, qui partagent volontiers leur monde végétal en…
Autour des littératures contemporaines d’Asie du Sud-Est en France
1. La parution de ces deux volumes hors-série sur la Thaïlande et l’Indonésie fournit l’occasion de faire connaître, plus largement, les publications des Éditions Jentayu, au-delà des deux pays ici concernés, sur l’ensemble de l’Asie. Jentayu, du nom malais d’un oiseau mythique du Ramayana, est apparemment une sorte de one man show en réseau : Jérôme Bouchaud, installé depuis plus de quinze ans en Asie, en Chine, d’abord, puis en Malaisi
La vannerie à Bornéo
La vannerie des groupes traditionnels de Bornéo est brièvement examinée : les plantes à fibres et à teinture, les techniques, savoirs et savoir-faire et leur transmission, les fonctions pratiques, sociales et rituelles et les motifs décoratifs et le symbolisme associé. Produit de l’histoire culturelle unique d’une communauté, un panier ou un chapeau, par sa création et son usage, possède un sens au-delà de sa forme et de sa fonction primaire et c…
Material Culture Studies and Ethnocultural Identity
The Ngorek of the Central Highlands and ‘Megalithic’ Activity in Borneo
Archaeological and ethnohistorical inquiries into the Ngorek Dayak and culturally related groups formerly or presently occupying vast expanses in the central northern highlands of Borneo and into their funerary and other types of stone monuments have allowed for a reconstruction of their history and a description of their cultural practices, particularly their staged treatment of the dead.A discussion of what "megalithic" means in Borneo suggests…
Guide des Humanités environnementales
L'ampleur des changements environnementaux est aujourd’hui bien établie. Face à cette situation inédite dans l’histoire de l’humanité, quels « cadres » et catégories mobiliser pour penser ces bouleversements et guider l’action ? La mise en évidence de l’origine humaine de ces changements et la critique du dualisme Nature/Culture ont conduit à souligner les limites d’approches strictement scientifiques et techniques. C’est pourquoi le présent guid…
Recent Material Culture Studies on Borneo
Up to the latter part of the twentieth century, material culture studies, centered on the artefact per se, remained primarily descriptive. Artefacts collected by explorers, colonial personnel, geologists, or missionaries were stored in museums. Curators or scholars studied them, often with little information on their ethnic origins or their function and meaning among the people who produced them, thus providing little insight into those peoples’ …
Temiar Religion 1964-2012
I discovered Geoffrey Benjamin’s work in the mid-1980s : first, a seminal paper delivered at the 1985 IPPA Conference, and later circulated by the National University of Singapore as a Working Paper titled Between Isthmus and Islands : Reflections on Malayan Palaeo-Sociology (1986). At about the same time, I came across his remarkable “In the Long Term : Three Themes in Malayan Cultural Ecology” (1985). Benjamin’s way of weaving together various …

Sultans’ Palaces and Museums in Indonesian Borneo
In the context of Indonesia’s nation-building policies of the 1950s, the centralized state abolished the archipelago’s sultanates, large and small, which had been granted special political status by treaties with the Dutch colonial administration. In Kalimantan (Borneo), as elsewhere in the country, sultans’ palaces became property of the state, which after 1970 turned some of them into museums. These second-generation museums housed permanent ex…
The languages and peoples of the Müller Mountains A contribution to the study of the origins of Borneo’s nomads and their languages
The Müller and northern Schwaner mountain ranges are home to a handful of tiny, isolated groups (Aoheng, Hovongan, Kereho, Semukung, Seputan), altogether totaling about 5,000 persons, which are believed to have been forest hunter-gatherers in a distant or recent past. Linguistic data were collected among these groups and other neighbouring groups between 1975 and 2010, leading to the delineation of two distinct clusters of languages of nomadic or…
Crafts, culture and economics between resilience and instability
The material kit of nomadic hunter-gatherers worldwide is quite limited, and early accounts of Borneo's Pnan (Punan/Penan) nomadic bands stressed this scantiness. In the course of time, varying with regions, some Pnan acquired from or were taught by their settled neighbours a diversity of techniques, ranging from hardwood blowpipe making to blacksmithing and hunting dog breeding, and managed to excel in them and, in some cases, surpass their mast…
Borneo 2007. Three European Exhibitions
The year 2007 appears to have been an exceptionally good one for Borneo in Europe. Two exhibitions were held in France, and one in Switzerland, which prominently featured the big island, its forests, its peoples, its cultures, and its arts. Here a brief review of these three events. Bornéo... Dayak et Punan.

Publications on Borneo from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 2001-2002
The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) was created at the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) in 1998 with Professor Michael Leigh as its inaugural Director. Michael Leigh is a long-time scholar of Sarawak. His earlier publications include: The Chinese Community of Sarawak: a Study of Communal Relations (1964), The Rising Moon: Political Change in Sarawak (1974), and Council Negri Sarawak, Malaysia’s Oldest Legislature (1992). It was after a…
Forest, resources and people in Bulungan
Bulungan regency is the northern part of the province of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In the course of the last decade, Kalimantan's or Borneo's hinterland has been the target of unprecedented non-timber forest products (NTFP) collecting activity. More intensive NTFP use has contributed to unsustainable extractive practices and environmental damage and to deep social and political disruption. This book examines northern East Kalimantan's trade net…
Kretek. The Culture and Heritage of Indonesia’s Clove Cigarettes, Mark Hanusz
“Carried on the warm breezes of a sultry tropic night, the scent of kretek – Indonesia’s indigenous clove cigarette – is the aromatic soul of a nation, the fragrant embodiment of all things Indo-nesian.” It certainly took a dedicated kretek smoker – in other words, a true addict – to research and write this book. It should probably take another to review it. In any event, the foreword’s author, novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer, is definitely one. T…
Didier Millet, Indonesian Heritage [a series of ten volumes, with various editors]
“An encyclopedia on Indonesia in English has been considered necessary for a long time. But it was only in 1992 that the idea [of the present series] was conceived and put into action,” Haryati Soebadio wrote in 1998. This, clearly, was a project meant to promote Indonesia abroad. A first batch of five volumes was released in November 1996, and a second batch of five in October 1998. Although a total of fifteen volumes had been planned, it is unc…
Three recent conferences on Borneo

Nomads of the Borneo Rainforest
Myth, History and Modern Cultural Identity Among Hunter-Gatherers
The island of Borneo has maintained until fairly recently a number of tropical rainforest hunting-gathering groups, generally referred to as Punan or Penan (though other local ethnonyms are found). Today, a large proportion of them have switched to a partly settled way of life and some form of agriculture, but even these groups still rely heavily on the forest, collecting jungle products for trade and, often, processing the wild sago palms for th…
