The Art Of Storytelling In Old Javanese Prose As Illustrated By The Story Of Ekalawya, Willem Van Der Molen
The Art Of Storytelling In Old Javanese Prose As Illustrated By The Story Of Ekalawya, Willem Van Der Molen
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Scholarly attention for Old Javanese literature so far has mainly focused on poetry. The apparently simple nature of narrative prose texts, while making them excellent sources for linguistic and lexicographic research, at the same time denies them any literary value. In this article an impression is given of the art of storytelling in one Old Javanese prose story, taken from the Adiparwa of around A.D. 1000. Quite unexpectedly, a sophisticated tradition unfolds in which a rich variety of devices enables the storyteller to create a meaningful world of words.
Flat Puppets On An Empty Screen, Stories In The Round; Imagining Space In "Wayang Kulit" And The Worlds Beyond, Bernard Arps
Flat Puppets On An Empty Screen, Stories In The Round; Imagining Space In "Wayang Kulit" And The Worlds Beyond, Bernard Arps
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The puppets are flat, the screen against which they are placed and moved is white and devoid of scenery. In what kinds of space do the stories of the classical shadow-play of Java, Bali, Lombok, and the Malay world unfold despite this double flatness? How do performers use not only puppets and screen but also music and language to bring space into being? What must spectators know and do to make sense of these storytelling techniques? As a contribution to the narratological study of the multimodal making of storyworlds, I demonstrate that wayang kulit caters for different degrees of interpretive …
Moens'written Transmission Of Dalang Lore, Victoria M. Clara Van Groenendael
Moens'written Transmission Of Dalang Lore, Victoria M. Clara Van Groenendael
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Much of the storytelling in Java is the profession of the puppeteers (dalang; also spelled dhalang) who perform and direct shadow theatre plays (wayang). They improvise their stories in the context which their performance requires. Unless commissioned to do so by a patron, it is very unusual for a dalang to sit down and actually write out a story (lakon). In the early decades of the twentieth century in the area of Yogyakarta, a kind of storytelling mini-industry arose at the instigation of some western scholarly patrons and laymen interested in Javanese popular culture. One such patron was Ir. J.L. …
The Intangible Legacy Of The Indonesian Bajo, Chandra Nuraini
The Intangible Legacy Of The Indonesian Bajo, Chandra Nuraini
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Sama-Bajau, or Bajo diaspora, extends from the southern Philippines and Sabah (Malaysian Borneo) to the eastern part of Indonesia. The Indonesian Bajo, now scattered along the coasts of Sulawesi (Celebes) and East Kalimantan, the Eastern Lesser Sunda Islands and Maluku, were once mostly nomadic fishermen of the sea or ocean freight carriers. Today, the Bajo are almost all fishermen and settled. Their former and present ways of life made them favour intangible forms of culture: it is impossible to transport bulky artefacts when moving frequently by boat, or when living in stilt houses, very close to the sea or …

An Account Of The Loss Of The Country Ship Forbes And Frazer Sinclair, Her Late Commander, Horst H. Liebner, David Van Dyke
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper reports on the life of the English Country trader Captain Frazer Sinclair leading up to and following the loss of the Forbes in the Karimata Strait in 1806. It examines the adventure and tenuous times of trading around the Indonesian archipelago after the fall of the VOC and subsequent transfer to the British. Included are the details of Captain Sinclair's trading history, multiple prizes as a privateer, and shipwrecks.

Binongko People's Life In Coral Island, Abd. Rahman Hamid
Binongko People's Life In Coral Island, Abd. Rahman Hamid
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article looks at the life of Binongko people. The word "Binongko" is well known as a Buton migrant's identity from Southeast Sulawesi in Maluku. In fact, it is a name of a rock island in Wakatobi district. Few people know about this fact. Binongko people built their world through the myth of La Patua Sakti and Putri Bidadari. Since the environment did not support farming activities, most of the people's needs were supplied by the sea through sailing. This activity was as old as their history in this island. The people also developed their skills as blacksmiths, which supported …
The Diversity Of Fisheries Based Livelihoods In The Berau Delta, East Kalimantan, Bambang Indratno Gunawan
The Diversity Of Fisheries Based Livelihoods In The Berau Delta, East Kalimantan, Bambang Indratno Gunawan
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Fisheries based livelihoods in the Berau Delta are diverse. The everyday life of small-scale fishers shows that gear diversification, changing fishing gear over a lifetime and practical knowledge to access good fishing grounds in the rich coastal waters are the main livelihood strategies developed by fishers. Fishing practices in the coastal frontier of Berau are influenced by the Bugis habitus of patronage networks between the punggawa and the dependent fishers. An essential element in the decision making of fishers is their embeddedness in political-economic patronage networks as the result of values, interests and knowledge contestations. Livelihood trajectories of different fishers …
Maritime Indonesia And The Archipelagic Outlook; Some Reflections From A Multidisciplinary Perspective On Old Port Cities In Java, Multamia Rmt Lauder, Allan F. Lauder
Maritime Indonesia And The Archipelagic Outlook; Some Reflections From A Multidisciplinary Perspective On Old Port Cities In Java, Multamia Rmt Lauder, Allan F. Lauder
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The present paper reflects on Indonesia's status as an archipelagic state and a maritime nation from a historical perspective. It explores the background of a multi-year research project into Indonesia's maritime past currently being undertaken at the Humanities Faculty of Universitas Indonesia. The multidisciplinary research uses toponymy, epigraphy, philology, and linguistic lines of analysis in examining old inscriptions and manuscripts and also includes site visits to a number of old port cities across the archipelago. We present here some of the core concepts behind the research such as the importance of the ancient port cities in a network of maritime …
Networks And Knowledge At The Interface; Governing The Coast Of East Kalimantan, Rini Kusumawati
Networks And Knowledge At The Interface; Governing The Coast Of East Kalimantan, Rini Kusumawati
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The thesis explores the actual processes of interaction between global and local actors regarding marine conservation and aquaculture development. The objective of the thesis is to analyse the collaboration, friction, and the cultural-historical, social, political, and economic contestations of the value and meaning of conservation from the perspectives of the district governmental agencies, the district head, local entrepreneurs and industry, and the international NGO. Concentrating on the dynamics of this global-local interface this thesis adds to existing literature because it helps us to understand why global environmental networks often face contention and even fail to be effective in their attempts …

A Linguistic Kaleidoscope Of The Malay Letter; The Case Of The Eighteenth Century Official Letters From The Sultanate Of Buton, S. Suryadi
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Malay letters make up the largest category of documents among the Malay manuscripts preserved at Leiden University Library, the Netherlands. The corpus represents the scope of the territories under Dutch East Indies authority during the colonial era. In fact, they are authentic documents which denote not only political contact between the local kingdoms in the Archipelago (Nusantara) with the Dutch East Indies government in Batavia during colonial times but also constitute an important source for the study of the historical development of the Malay language. This essay looks at the language characters of such letters which came from the …

Tracing The Linguistic Crossroads Between Malay And Tamil, Tom G. Hoogervorst
Tracing The Linguistic Crossroads Between Malay And Tamil, Tom G. Hoogervorst
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Speakers of Malay and Tamil have been in intermittent contact for roughly two millennia, yet extant academic work on the resultant processes of contact, lexical borrowing, and language mixing at the interface of these two speech communities has only exposed the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This paper presents an historical overview of language contact between Malay and Tamil through time and across the Bay of Bengal. It concludes with a call for future studies on the lexicology, dialectology, and use of colloquial language of both Malay and Tamil varieties.
Islamic Learning In Arabic-Afrikaans Between Malay Model And Ottoman Reform, Kees Versteegh
Islamic Learning In Arabic-Afrikaans Between Malay Model And Ottoman Reform, Kees Versteegh
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Through the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century the Muslim community of Cape Town produced a large number of texts in various fields of Islamic learning, written in Afrikaans, a creolized variety of the language the Dutch traders had brought to South Africa. The Cape Muslim community had its origin in South Asia and Southeast Asia; most of its founding members had been transported by force by the Dutch colonial authorities. Malay was the language in which they had been educated, and for some time it remained in use as the written language. …
The Languages And Peoples Of The MüLler Mountains; A Contribution To The Study Of The Origins Of Borneo's Nomads And Their Languages, Bernard Sellato, Antonia Soriente
The Languages And Peoples Of The MüLler Mountains; A Contribution To The Study Of The Origins Of Borneo's Nomads And Their Languages, Bernard Sellato, Antonia Soriente
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The M ller 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 formerly nomadic groups, which are called MSP (M ller-Schwaner Punan) and BBL (Bukat-Beketan-Lisum) clusters. These languages also display lexical affinity to the languages of various major Bornean settled farming groups (Kayan, …
Phrasal Alternation In The Pondok Tinggi Dialect Of Kerinci; An Intergenerational Analysis, Ernanda Ernanda
Phrasal Alternation In The Pondok Tinggi Dialect Of Kerinci; An Intergenerational Analysis, Ernanda Ernanda
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper examines the implications of language contact in a Malay sub-variety known as Pondok Tinggi, spoken in Sumatra. My focus is on the grammatical phenomenon of phrasal alternation. Phrasal alternation is characterized by the presence of two distinct forms for nearly all lexical items, whose final syllables differ in shape. These are termed absolute and oblique (Steinhauer and Usman 1978: 485). The intergenerational transmission of this uncommon feature offers a way to measure the degree of contact-induced language change in Pondok Tinggi. An experiment was conducted to elicit the usage of the absolute and the oblique forms in order …
Ubiquitous Place Names; Standardization And Study In Indonesia, Allan F. Lauder, Multamia R.M.T. Lauder
Ubiquitous Place Names; Standardization And Study In Indonesia, Allan F. Lauder, Multamia R.M.T. Lauder
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Place names play a vital role in human society. Names exist in all languages and place names are an indispensible part of international communication. This has been acknowledged by the establishment of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). One of UNGEGN's tasks is to coordinate international efforts on the proper use of place names. Indonesia supports this effort and through its National Geospatial Agency (BIG). Place names are also of interest as an object of study in themselves. Academic studies into place names are found in linguistics, onomastics, philosophy and a number of other academic disciplines. …
Enterprise Vocabulary Management; A Lexicographic View, Jan Voskuil
Enterprise Vocabulary Management; A Lexicographic View, Jan Voskuil
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The central theme in this paper is the problem of shifting from natural language descriptions, as in traditional dictionaries and thesauri, to working IT (Information Technology) systems that support people carrying out their administrative tasks. An explicit description of the specific language used in an organization is necessary to guarantee properly working IT systems and a healthy flow of information. Traditionally, there are different ways of capturing such a vocabulary. Different options are considered, arguing that the general form of a thesaurus offers the optimal solution for a broad range of cases. Various requirements for such a thesaurus are examined. …
The Esperanto Movement In The Dutch East Indies And Indonesia, Heidi Goes
The Esperanto Movement In The Dutch East Indies And Indonesia, Heidi Goes
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Esperanto movement in Indonesia has grown in the past five years from being almost non-existent to having a national association with several clubs. One might therefore assume that the Esperanto movement in Indonesia is a totally recent phenomenon. However, already at the beginning of the twentieth century there were Esperantists in the territory of today's Indonesia. Between the two World Wars the movement was active: periodicals and books were published, courses held, and clubs and associations established. As a result of the Second World War this vigorous movement collapsed, but following independence the movement reflourished under the guidance of …

The Indonesian Verbal Suffix "-Nya"; Nominalization Or Subordination?, Philippe Grangé
The Indonesian Verbal Suffix "-Nya"; Nominalization Or Subordination?, Philippe Grangé
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The suffix nya is one of the most frequent and polysemic suffixes in Indonesian. It can provide definite determination and topicalization. The "Verb nya", which often appears in a topicalized subject Noun Phrase (NP), is generally labelled as a deverbal noun. Nevertheless, many syntactic constraints set it apart from Indonesian deverbal nouns. "Verb nya" must be complemented by a NP, which can easily be reconstructed as a former subject: a sentence is topicalized and thus becomes a noun clause, generally the subject of the main clause Verb Phrase (VP). I argue that "Verb nya" is a subordinate noun clause, almost …
"Kasi" And "Bikin"; Two Causative Strategies In Melayu Tenggara Jauh (Southwest Maluku, Indonesia), Aone Van Engelenhoven
"Kasi" And "Bikin"; Two Causative Strategies In Melayu Tenggara Jauh (Southwest Maluku, Indonesia), Aone Van Engelenhoven
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper discusses the causative constructions found in Melayu Tenggara Jauh 'Far Southeast Malay' (MTJ), which is used as lingua franca in Southwest Maluku. MTJ encodes causatives by means of MTJ features four periphrastic constructions with the verbs bikin 'do/make' and kasi 'give' that signal whether or not the CAUSER (Kemmer and Verhagen 1994) is involved in or has control over the caused event.
Neuter Gender In The Languages Of Aru, Antoinette Schapper
Neuter Gender In The Languages Of Aru, Antoinette Schapper
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper examines gender agreement in three little-known languages of the Aru Islands and places them within the larger pattern of "neuter gender" in eastern Indonesia. For each language, I look first at the variety of agreement targets that are controlled by gendered nouns. Secondly, I look at the semantics of nouns that control agreement. I show that whilst having a strongly semantic base involving animacy, gender in Aru languages is a grammatical category in which many nouns denoting certain types of entities that lack discernable biological animacy are assigned to the same gender as that of animate referents. I …
Causative Constructions In Woirata, Kisar Island (Southwest Maluku, Indonesia), Nazarudin Nazarudin
Causative Constructions In Woirata, Kisar Island (Southwest Maluku, Indonesia), Nazarudin Nazarudin
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Woirata (or Oirata, see Van Engelenhoven in this volume) is closely related to Fataluku (Timor-Leste) and belongs to the Timor-Leste subgroup of the Timor-Alor-Pantar language family (TAP) together with Makalero and Makasai (Schapper, Huber, and Van Engelenhoven 2012). It has about 1,566 speakers. Taber (1993) suggests that there are 24 languages in Southwest Maluku of which 23 are Austronesian; Woirata is the only non-Austronesian language in the area. It is interesting to research in how far Woirata has been influenced by Austronesian languages. Because the Woirata and other people who live on Kisar Island, like the Meher, are using Melayu …
The Notion Of "Adjective" In Dhao; A Language Spoken In Eastern Indonesia, Jermy I. Balukh
The Notion Of "Adjective" In Dhao; A Language Spoken In Eastern Indonesia, Jermy I. Balukh
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
It is cross-linguistically defined that adjective is a word category that typically denotes quality and attributes. This category basically falls into semantic properties denoting age, dimension, values, and colours. They also indicate human propensities, physical properties, and speed. Syntactically, adjective typically functions as noun modifiers. However, many adjectives also share features with verbs and/or nouns. This makes adjectives not easy to define. Therefore, morphological and syntactic accounts are required, in addition to semantics, to define the prototypical characteristics of adjectives. This paper has shown that majority of lexemes denoting adjectival properties in Dhao share features with verbs. Although the prefix …
Grammatical Relations And Grammatical Categories In Malay; The Indonesian Prefix "Men-" Revisited, Johnny Tjia
Grammatical Relations And Grammatical Categories In Malay; The Indonesian Prefix "Men-" Revisited, Johnny Tjia
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The lexical roots of Malay are flexible with regard to their grammatical categories, which presents a problem in providing grammatical evidence for their category determination. This paper attempts to propose the use of affixes as one way to deal with the issue. Data from Indonesian and Ambon (Malay) language are among others given for clarification. The grammatical evidence from Indonesian active meN-, together with other affixes, are revisited as they can contribute to our understanding of the matter.
