Frightened by the eagle; Recording songs and music from the Island of Siberut, Mentawai Islands
Singing is the most important element of the traditional music culture on Siberut, the largest of the Mentawai Islands (West Sumatra, Indonesia). There are various types of songs on the island. Some of them are related to the world of spirits and ancestors. These are mainly sung by shamans during healing ceremonies and rituals. Other songs are made up by men and women during their daily activities, when they are fishing out at sea or when they ta…

Three sources of ritual blessings in traditional Indonesian societies
One of the merits of the Field of Anthropological Study approach in the so called 'Leiden tradition' is that it focuses on what RE. de Josselin de Jong has called the mutual interpretability of local transformations. Within a Field of Study, with its common historical roots, 'each culture can, in principle at least, contribute to an understanding of the others' (De Josselin de Jong 1980a:325). On the basis of the results of such comparison, recen…
The domestication of culture; Nation-building and ethnic diversity in Indonesia
The Domestication of Culture Nation-building and Ethnic Diversity in IndonesiaAll the present states of Southeast Asia have one characteristic in common: not one of them is based on a homogeneous cultural tradition. 1In all these countries, members of different ethnic groups, having their own languages and their own cultural heritage, live within the national borders.Often other members of these groups are found in neighbouring countries as well.…

Mentawai Shaman
On the Indonesian island of Siberut live the Mentawai tribe. They exist in harmony with nature and the spirit world through the mediation of their shamans. This is a photographic record of the shamans work, the conjuring of spirits, healing, and the rituals of tattooing and hunting
Cultural anthropology, future tasks for Bijdragen, and the Indonesian Field of Anthropological study
The Note from the Editors of Bijdragen 148-1 states that the journal shall in future concentrate on Southeast Asia.This will entail a regional narrowing with respect to world-wide subjects covered in recent decades, but a broadening with respect to the original specialization in colonial times, as expressed until 1949 in the name of the journal, Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land-en Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch Indie.According as one emphasizes one asp…
Changing Patterns of Architecture and Symbolism among the Sa'dan Toraja (Indonesia)
Some of the world's most interesting traditions of wooden architecture are found among the ethnic groups of Indonesia. Although most of these traditions are known to some degree from ethnographic literature, only few have as yet become the subject of comprehensive ethnoarchitectural studies by researchers specialized in the field. As a result, really adequate monographic treatments of such building cultures are still largely a desideratum. Even t…

The unequal brothers-in-law; Indonesia as a ýField of anthropological studyý and the case of Mentawai
This article explores the anthropological study of Indonesia, focusing on the Mentawai islands as a case study. It challenges the prevailing Java-centric approach, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of Indonesian diversity. Schefold critiques the tendency to view Indonesia through a Javanese lens, highlighting the unique cultural and social structures of the Mentawai people. He emphasizes the importance of considering local contexts and avo…
The culinary code in the Puliaijat ritual of the Mentawaians
Long before the completion of Claude L?vi-Strauss' Mythologiques, Mary Douglas (1967:63) had bemoaned the meager content of the themes elaborated by structuralist myth-analysis. In view of her example, 'The story of Asdiwal', her criticism possibly appeared some what premature, since that essay explicitly and extensively inquires into the meaning of the message ? whatever one may think of the validity of the interpretation in detail. The developm…

Versuch einer Stilnalyse der Aufhangehaken vom Mittleren Sepik in Neu-Guinea
This article presents a stylistic analysis of suspension hooks from the Middle Sepik region of New Guinea. Forge and Schefold categorize the hooks based on formal characteristics, exploring variations in carving style and decorative elements. They argue that these stylistic differences reflect distinct local traditions and potentially indicate social or ritual significance. The analysis contributes to understanding the artistic diversity and cult…
