Abstract

In May 2015, boats carrying several thousand Rohingya refugees created a tense situation in the region as Indonesia and neighboring ASEAN countries initially refused to let them come ashore (Amnesty International, 2015). Refugees dominated regional headlines for weeks for the first time since the end of the Vietnam war in 1975, when Indonesia and many other Southeast Asian states saw the arrival of tens of thousands of people from Vietnam and then later from Cambodia. The public outcry at the time led to a strong support for finding a regional solution for refugees. Despite this, the protection of asylum seekers and refugees across Southeast Asia remains weak to this day (Gleeson, this issue; Tan, 2016). Although Southeast Asia currently hosts more than one million4 asylum seekers and refugees (Amnesty International, 2017; UNHCR, 2017b), most Southeast Asian countries, with the exception of Cambodia, Timor Leste and the Philippines, have not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention and do not offer local integration for refugees in their respective territories.

Abstract

This article is an anthropological reflection on an on-campus collaborative music project between (Ethiopian) Oromo refugees and local Indonesian university teaching staff, students and professional musicians. It follows the way the project evolved from what was initially seen as a simple academic research opportunity and technical assistance for refugees to record their songs into a mutually transformative experience for those involved. It reflects on the process and the way art—as a collaborative practice and non-programmatic form of human engagement—provided new possibilities for the refugees living in transit in Indonesia to explore their talents and possible career opportunities for the future. From an anthropological point of view, the process challenged the various institutionalized binary modes of self-representation, such as ‘host’ and ‘migrant’, ‘researcher’ and ‘informant’, or ‘academic’ and ‘non-academic’, and opened up new possibilities for negotiating and framing relationships between the participants involved.Keywords: refugees, asylum seekers, self-representation, public anthropology, art, Indonesia, Oromo

Abstract

This article is aimed to reveal the process through which the role of the Sultanate of Sulu over the northeast coast of Borneo was ended. This process is significant to understand why the claim of the Sultanate of Sulu over Sabah no longer included Tidung and Bulungan areas even though in the past they had. The most controversial claim by the Dutch was that the Sultan of Bulungan had signed a treaty with them in 1850 which mentioned that the territory of Bulungan inculded Batu Tinagat, Sungai Tawau, Nunukan Island, Sebatik Island, and Tarakan Island. Using historical sources such as the Resolution of the Governor General of the Netherlands Indies (1846), Memorandum of the North Borneo Cession (1882-1884) and others, this article is an attempt to reveal the process through which the borders of the Sultanate of Sulu on the Northcoast of Borneo/ Kalimantan in ciolonial times was negotiated.Keywords: Sabah, Sulu Sultanate, borders, colonia, history

Abstract

Outside the ideological connotations of globalisation, Southeast Asia has always been global throughout its history. Strategically situated on the major maritime trade routes linking ancient Europe, India and China, Southeast Asia has a long dynamic history marked by shifting power and the intense movement of people, commodities and cultural flows. The regions fluidity and cosmopolitanism is amply demonstrated by the abundance of cross-cultural influences, shared within the region, such as technology, religious syncretism, language, diaspora, and even food. The arrival of colonialism and the subsequent emergence of postcolonial nation-states in the region have significantly reconfigurated and reordered the patterns of human flows within the region. Border regimes have become prominent regulators for the movement of people and commodities across boundaries, such as the establishment of customs and immigration controls, designated for international routes and port of entries.On the other hand, numerous upland regions across mainland Southeast Asia, peripheral maritime regions such as the Sulu Sea, the Celebes Sea, and the internationally-partitioned island of Borneo, remain quasi-open and fluid spaces where people and commodities traverse international boundaries relatively unchecked by border controls. This indicates that states rarely reach that idealised omnipotence to exercise total and coherent power over space and societal mobility. This is especially true for postcolonial states around the world. State borders throughout Southeast Asia have generally been established in an arbitrary fashion, where ethnic, linguistic, social and economic borders never neatly intersected with formal state boundaries drawn on maps. As a result, shared ethnicity, language, identities and economic interconnectivity remain to transcend many state boundaries.
