In the villages, I interviewed mostly adat-experts about their perception of environment. I observed farmers and talked top them a lot, also about their
perception of nature and environment, but mostly I did not record the interviews. Important information are noted down. I visited villages in Bengkayang regency
three times during my stay and I went once to Sanggau regency with the stuf of Institut Dayakologi. During my stay in Sanggau regency, I was able to observe the
preparation of the project if the institute. Often we could discuss topic concerted about environment. In Sanggau, the situation is quite diferent to those in
Bengkayang: Many villages are dependent on palm oil and surrounded by palm oil plantations. I could discuss the efects of this environmental transformation
with the local people and the stuf of Institut Dayakologi.
In Bengkayang regency, I could learn about traditional ways of farming and about the meaning of Dayak culture and environment. Both locals and activists often
stress the connection between “nature” and “Dayak culture”. On mayor aim will be to analyze how the construction of Dayak culture and its revitalization depends
on speciic concepts about “nature”, because these term, as I assumed before the research, seems to play an important role for the perception of the own culture.
In areas with many palm oil plantations, of instance, it was often empathized that it is important to save the environment, in particular the forest, as a base and
important site for Dayak culture.
In Sanggau regency as well as in Bengkayang regency, it was possible for me to visit community forests and to participate in rituals which are linked to nature.
These gave me insight about the perception of the local people about nature; about the meaning of trees, animals and non-visible entities for them. With this
information, I also will be able to analyze the diferences between local perceptions of natures and those western ones which also provide the base for the ecological
transformation of West Kalimantan.

26. Coping with recurrent emergencies: The self-organization of civil society in Jakarta during looding
Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisa bagaimana masyarakat madanimasyarakat
sipil bereaksi terhadap bencana, dalam hal ini banjir di Jakarta, serta bagaimana kelompok ini berinteraksi
dengan administrasi kota dan LSM
Bidang Penelitian : Antropologi Sosial
Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta
Lama Penelitian : 3 tiga bulan mulai 14 Januari 2013

Abstrak
Almost every year, Jakarta is afected by severe looding. The international debate on global climate change has made the authorities and citizens aware of the risk
that this plague may become even worse. This insight has triggered policies to improve sewages and canal systems as well as discussions about where people
should live and more fanciful ideas about relocating the whole capitol. Media cable out pictures of people dealing with the water in their homes and on the
streets and reports on how politicians plan to prevent looding from happening again.
This project analyses the ways in which civil society organises itself in times of hazards and how it interacts with city administration and NGO’s. In Jakarta
looding is a recurrent crisis which politicians as well as civil society and market forces have to deal with every year. This makes it a prime case study of global as
well as local forces at play during times of crises and in urban risk management.

Abstrak
In its studies of urban life, anthropology has often tended either to neglect or to critique synoptic views of cities. The history of neglect is well known. Most
of the classic urban studies focused on communities and spaces that occupied small pockets within the broader urban experience. The Chicago School of urban
sociology and anthropology famously focused on hobos Anderson 1923, gangs Thrasher 1927, the Jewish quarter Wirth 1928, the slum Zorbaugh 1929,
and taxi-dance halls Cresey 1932. As Hannerz 1980: 54 has pointed out, these studies exaggerated the isolation of the social worlds they described and left it
up to readers to develop a “wider-scope understanding” of the city as a whole. More recent scholarship that has focused on synoptic views of cities has tended
to be suspicious of such a gaze. Michel de Certeau 1984, who applied Foucault’s
45

notion 1977 of panopticism to the city, contrasted the view of the city as seen from the skyscraper to the city experienced by the pedestrian. For de Certeau, the
spatial practices of the pedestrian were creative and poetic, while the panoptic gaze was one that sought mastery and control. Similar contrasts are evident in
a number of urban ethnographies, particularly those that focus on the practices and technologies of centralized urban planning Barker 1999a, Caldeira 2002,
Davis 1992, Holston 1989, Low 1999, Mitchell 2002.
The proposed research program seeks to provide a more nuanced analysis of how synoptic knowledge about cities is produced and what role it plays in urban
life. It builds on empirical insights from recent research on activism in the urban peripheries of the global south Ali and Riker 2008, Appadurai 2002; Holston
2009. These studies have highlighted the fact that it is not just planners and state actors that produce synoptic knowledge; it is also marginalized groups. In the
favelas of São Paulo, neighbourhood activists have established databases that contain detailed historical information about landholdings and land disputes. In
the slums of Mumbai, activists have conducted their own censuses that count the number of residents, toilets, the size of dwellings, and so on. This kind of
knowledge has been deployed efectively to make citizenship claims for land tenure, sewage services, etc. in the local and global arenas. This research builds
on this work by looking more closely at the group of people that are most involved in creating a synoptic view of the city on a daily basis and who arguably have the
greatest impact on urban dwellers’ understandings of the public life of cities: local journalists. It examines the changing social and cultural world of local journalists
and their role in the construction of urban public life Bourdieu 1998. In examining these questions, the research draws from, and contributes to, theories about the
emergence of what have variously been called “imagined communities” Anderson 1991, “publics” Habermas 1962, Warner 2002 and “social imaginaries” Taylor
2007. These theories seek to trace the conditions under which people come to see themselves as being part of an objectiied social whole that includes people
beyond their immediate families and local communities. Media of various kinds— print and electronic—are central to this process, since it is through mediation that
people are able to step outside of themselves and recognize themselves anew Mazzarella 2004. The study of the formation of social imaginaries and publics
has thus come to be closely linked with the study of media worlds Appadurai 1996, Gaonkar 2002.

Although Anderson, Taylor, and Warner developed their theories to better understand print culture and its consequences for modern political life cf. Adam
1995, Moriyama 2005, they and others have also sought to apply their theories to newer media forms, such as the Internet Anderson 1998, Appadurai 1996,
Axel 2006. Some of my own past research is a case in point. I have examined, for example, how electric and electronic media have provided the occasion for
new social imaginaries about neighbourhood publics and imagined national communities in Indonesia Barker and Simon 2003, Barker 2003 2008. But this
research taught me something surprising: the most important media for the construction of publics in Indonesia are still books and newspapers. Even Onno
Purbo, whom many people call the Father of the Indonesian Internet, is very clear on this point. At virtually every workshop he gives he implores his young followers
to write books and newspaper articles. He has come to believe this is the only way to build a public that will stand up for the interests of a “free” merdeka Internet.
Thus, although this research program includes a focus on electronic media, the primary emphasis is on print journalism. It is in print where the most important
struggles over publics are still being played out.
This research builds on a tradition of ethnographic studies of journalism dating back to the 1970s Gans 1980, Golding and Elliot 1979, Schlesinger 1977, Tuchman
1978. Such studies examined the practices and ideologies of journalists as cultural producers, mainly in newsrooms in the United States and Britain. In more recent
years, anthropologists have conducted ethnographic work on journalism in a variety of national contexts, including Nigeria Bastian 1993, 2003, Ghana Hasty
2001, 2005, 2005b, 2006, 2009, South Africa Fordred-Green 2000, Germany Boyer 2005, India Landsman 1987, Ståhlberg 2006, Rao 2009 Forthcoming, Vietnam
Schwenkel 2009 and elsewhere. Some have also conducted ethnographies of global news production through studies of foreign correspondents Boyer 2001
2005, Boyer and Hannerz 2006, Hannerz 2005, Pedelty 1995 and their relations with local journalists Bishara 2006. This more recent wave of research, like much
other work in the anthropology of media, has often focused not just on the culture and practices of journalists, but also on the meanings of news stories, how they
circulate, and how they are interpreted in diferent contexts Askew and Wilke 2002; Ginsburg et al 2002. All these aspects of the production and dissemination
of city news will be addressed by this research.

Research Objectives :
My project investigates the female puppeteer community of Central Java, focusing on the following objectives:
What are the social risks to which female dalang puppeteers are susceptible, how are these risks negotiated, and what afects may these negotiations
have on the wayang kulit Indonesian shadow theatre tradition and the perception of female puppeteers as ‘good’ dalang‘good’ women?
How have cultural and societal shifts afected change within the shadow practice, and how may these changes relect upon the evolution of gender
roles and hierarchies?

What are the main motivators behind the participation of women in wayang kulit practice?
What may be projected about the potential future of the female dalang career and wayang kulit tradition formal study enrolment, potential for
popularity, etc? My ield of study incorporates two disciplines, social anthropology and Indonesian
studies. To this point, I have developed my academic career around the study of traditional Indonesian practices and their associated material culture – focusing on
form and function, social signiicance, and methods of display and interpretation within a museum context. Presently, I am concentrating my research eforts
towards uncovering relatively recent developments within Indonesian shadow theatre due to changes in the socio-political climate – namely, the emergence of
female puppeteers.

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengurai sejarah keberadaan manusia Homo erectus
dan Homo sapiens yang telah beradaptasi dengan tantangan kondisi iklim tropis sejak 1,5 juta tahun yang
lalu sampai dengan terpencarnya kelompok-kelompok manusia di berbagai wilayah kepulauan
Bidang Penelitian : Arkeologi
Daerah Penelitian : Jateng Sangiran, Jatim Punung
Lama Penelitian : 4 empat bulan mulai 9 Desember 2013
Mitra Kerja : Pusat Arkeologi Nasional Dr. Bambang Sulistyanto
Abstract
The long lasting cooperation between Puslitbang Arkeologi Nasional and Museum national d’ Histoire naturelle addresses, beyond its scientiic objectives, several
development aspects intending to soundly anchor Indonesian archaeology in the society
The studies concern the Quaternaoy period in Java Island, and aim at describing part of the history of humankind representatives Homo erectus and Homo
sapiens that adapted to insuiar conditions in a tropical area since 1.5 million years ago up to the setting up of the extant mosaic of human groups scattered in the
archipelagos. They are conducted in an interdisciplinary perspective that takes into account the complexity of the relationships between human societies and
the ever changing climates and environments that took place in the area during the Pleistocene and the Holocene.
Two main areas are considered in the present proposal: the Early and Middle Pleistocene record in the Sangiran dome Solo, Central Java and the cave
