Knowledge, literacy and media among the Iban of Sarawak. A reply to Maurice Bloch An earlier version of this article was published in the Proceedings of the Sixth Biennial Conference of the Borneo Research Council. University of Malaysia, Kuching, 1014 July 2000. The article follows from research I carried out in Sarawak for some 17 months in 19968 was part of a PhD thesis with the Anthropology Department at University College London, supervised by Dr Simon Strickland and Professor Chris Tilley. I was officially attached to both the Majlis Adat Istiadat (Council for Customary Law) and the Sarawak Museum in Kuching. My doctoral research was supported by the Anthropology Department and Graduate School at University College London, the Evans Fund of Cambridge University and the Central Research Fund of London University. I am most grateful to these institutions and to the Iban Service at RTM, Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan, Tun Jugah Foundation, Betong District Office, State Planning Unit, as well as to countless individuals and families in the Saribas, Skrang and Kuching areas for their generous support. I also wish to thank two anonymous readers and Carlos Pinas for their helpful comments.
