Songs of travel, stories of place: A study of tradition, subjectivity and otherness in Banda Eli (East Indonesia). - 425 p.

Adviser: Danilyn Rutherford.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2001.

This dissertation focuses on the historical representations and social practices in terms of which Banda Eli, an Eastern Indonesian village, is defined as a distinct cultural entity. In scholarly history and colonial records the founders of the village are consistently identified with the original inhabitants of Banda, the famous spice islands conquered by the Dutch East India Company in 1621. The thesis addresses the question of how the people of Banda Eli evaluate representations of their society by outsiders, and what memories the community itself maintains of its Bandanese ancestry. The material for the dissertation was collected during 15 months of fieldwork in East Indonesia during 1992 and 1994–1996.

520 $a This dissertation focuses on the historical representations and social practices in terms of which Banda Eli, an Eastern Indonesian village, is defined as a distinct cultural entity. In scholarly history and colonial records the founders of the village are consistently identified with the original inhabitants of Banda, the famous spice islands conquered by the Dutch East India Company in 1621. The thesis addresses the question of how the people of Banda Eli evaluate representations of their society by outsiders, and what memories the community itself maintains of its Bandanese ancestry. The material for the dissertation was collected during 15 months of fieldwork in East Indonesia during 1992 and 1994–1996.
520 $a The theoretical focus of the dissertation is on the effect which engagements with the outside world have for the local society. In the symbolic awareness of Banda Eli people, sociality is inextricably linked with the horizon of travel, absence and the loss of persons and objects, and their replacement with tokens of value which originate from the domain identified as ‘foreign’. The dissertation explores the cultural logic underlying this awareness as it is manifested in ritual and political practices and in various representations of the past in folk poetry.
520 $a Another theoretical concern of the dissertation is related to linguistic ideology. Conscious ideas of language use support the boundary of value through which the local society is constituted as a bounded entity. On another level, however, this entity can be seen as a pragmatic and figurative construct, grounded in the contrast between the local and the regionally and nationally dominant language. Speakers and singers evoke this contrast through such devices as code switching applied to speech performances which are classified as taking place in the local language. While such usages index the speaker's authority and personal connection to the world outside the village, they are also an example of the logic by which the reproduction of local society relies on the use of foreign symbolic resources for ends defined by the local culture.
