In this report of cultural practice among the Hobongan living on the island of Borneo, I examine the results of\u0000 lost parity on traditional Hobongan and Christian-influenced cultural practices. The Hobongan typically acknowledge the lack of\u0000 parity and ignore it, or they accept the lack of parity and try to rejoin polyphony through conversion. Syncretism presents a more\u0000 complex case because dialogue remains possible: both Hobongan and Christian-influenced practices are combined to avoid unpleasant\u0000 dialogues.","PeriodicalId":244145,"journal":{"name":"When Dialogue Fails","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114967561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
