Liebner, Antonia Soriente, Giuseppe Ferraioli, and Ahmad Ginanjar Purnawibawa. 2022. "The Construction of an Historical Boat in South Sulawesi (Indonesia): The Padewakang." Journal of Maritime Archaeology 17: 507-557
Padewakang was a type of long-distance sailing vessels that, since at least the early eighteenth century, was mainly built in South Sulawesi and used throughout the Malay Archipelago and beyond for blue-water trading and fishing ventures. In 2019, the Abu Hanifa Institute in Sydney commissioned the construction of such a boat, Nur Al-Marege, for a documentary film at a shipyard in Tana Beru, a village in the district of Bontobahari (South Sulawesi, Indonesia), that in 2017 was inscribed into the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity for its historic tradition of an extensive wooden boat industry. This was the occasion for a team of scholars, both independent and from the Universitas Indonesia and Università di Napoli "L'Orientale" to analyze iconographic sources and historical documents relating to the padewakang and to document a contemporary process of wooden boat construction by interviewing people involved in this activity. The article aims to summarize previous and current studies on shipbuilding activities in Tana Beru, to present the iconographic study which led to the reconstruction of the padewakang, and present a description of the conception and actual execution of the Nur Al-Marege construction and its representation.

The values contained in the runway have a picture that can become the prevailing values in society. This research is descriptive qualitative research with interview technique as the research data instrument, besides that observation and documentation are also conducted to support the data collected by interview technique. The population of this research is the people who take part in the track race, while the key informants of this study are the participants of the spur-of-the-road festival using purposive sampling as a sampling technique. The results show that the values of sustainable character development that are being promoted by the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding the profile of Pancasila students, where character education focuses more on the values listed in Pancasila, so that the values on the Pancasila student profile have the values contained in the philosophical values. contained in the track race.

Petang Megang ritual does not only function as a passed-on tradition, but also reflects the acculturation of Hindu and Islam, social interaction, and community culture. This research is a descriptive study, in which data obtained are presented, analyzed, and explained. This study found that Petang Megang tradition reflects a strong relationship between the two beliefs, Hindu and Islam. The relationship can be seen in the similar concepts of purification in Petang Megang which is similar to tirtayatra in Hindu and wudhu (ablution) in Islam. Despite bringing similarity to Hindu tradition, Petang Megang serves as a medium of Islamic dawah (propagation) where it introduces a cultural practice in its relation to religious event (Ramadan). This study su...

The making of healthy drinks uses recipes passed down from generation to generation from their parents, which is kept in the community's c ollective memory. This study aimed to document the knowledge of the diversity of healthy drinks produced while the Covid-19 pandemic were still spreading. A survey was conducted by collecting information from housewives about a variety of drinks made from kitchen spices and herbs by means of individual in-depth interviews. Aged between 45 and 65 years old, the housewives as respondents provided information about spiced drinks that they made and that were consumed by all family members. Housewives were deliberately chosen to identify the kinds of drinks that encourage their independent care and to know the perceptions that underlie the making of spiced drinks. The findings suggest that housewives' m...

Per ciò che concerne i rapporti ufficiali tra i due paesi-malgrado le relazioni diplomatiche risalgano al 1952-solo nel 2001, un Presidente indonesiano, Abdurrahman Wahid, è venuto in visita ufficiale in Italia, seguito, nel 2002, dalla Presidente Megawati Sukarnoputri. Il primo viaggio istituzionale di un capo di Stato italiano si è avuto nel 2015, quando il Presidente della Repubblica Mattarella si è recato nella capitale indonesiana, dando così un forte segnale della necessità di una più profonda conoscenza reciproca. Sul fronte culturale, l'Orientale di Napoli è stato l'unico ateneo nel panorama nazionale ad offrire, sin dal 1964, corsi per lo studio e la ricerca sulla lingua e letteratura dell'Indonesia, grazie al professor Alessandro Bausani. Eppure, la conoscenza dell'Indonesia, al di là degli stereotipi legati a paradisi turistici, spiagge, risaie lussureggianti, vulcani, musiche, danze e a qualche animale esotico, è limitatissima. Di quell'Indonesia, spesso collocata geograficamente in Tailandia o India, o identificata con Bali, si conosce ben poco. Alla domanda «Dov'è l'Indonesia?» i più rispondono «A Bali», meta di tanti turisti e viaggiatori alle prime armi o di viaggi di nozze da favola. Di conseguenza, se si esce dall'ambito specialistico, anche la conoscenza della lette-* Professore associato di Lingua e letteratura indonesiana all'Università di Napoli "L'Orientale".

Despite the presence of two traditional Malay dialects in the adjacent Provinces of East Kalimantan, Berau Malay and Kutai Malay, the language of interethnic communication spoken in North Kalimantan did not develop directly from those two dialects. In fact it developed from a combination of elements, comprising features of the national language used in the education systems, in the press, in politics, and of its colloquial variant originally spoken in the capital and that spread in the area thanks to the many immigrants from other regions. Few elements of Eastern Borneo Malay dialects and local lexemes and expressions enrich this variant where national, regional and local features merge.

They are considered to be related to the Penan Gang in Sarawak (Brosius 1992) and belonging to the Western Penan subgroup (Puri 1997). Traditional language classifications in Borneo list Penan languages within the Kenyah subgroup (Needham 1972, Blust 1974, Hudson 1978, Sercombe 2002) though such classifications have never attempted to make a clear distinction between borrowed material and inherited one. If Penan are defined as forest dwelling hunter-gatherers, the Kenyah broad ethnic label applies to a number of groups of sedentarized or earlier sedentarized people to which very often the Penan people are associated. The term Penan and its variant Punan is used to refer to a number of different nomadic groups spread in Kalimantan and Sarawak. They do not represent a co...

I will present a description of the morphosyntax of Kenyah, Penan Benalui, Punan Tubu’ and Punan Malinau languages from naturalistic and elicited data and also will use some secondary source data from Kayan and Kelabit to shed light on the typological morphosyntactic features of the area for the expression of focus and voice comparing the way grammatical relations are marked and the way actor focus and undergoer focus contrast is expressed. As pointed out by Claire (1996), the voice system in Bornean languages is much reduced in comparison to the Philippine-type languages. Indeed there is a wide range of voice systems, from very complex ones like in some languages in Sabah where ablaut, affixation, nominal marking and word order play a relevant role, to ...

Together with a sketch grammar, a collection of traditional plants and a dictionary this work provide a documentation of one of the many minotity languages of Indonesia.
