This phase of the project consisted of a quantitative pictorial recognition test, using photographs of 111 plants previously documented, with twenty-eight young participants from Ban Khanat Pring and Ban Ramboe villages. We found that useful plants (edible or medicinal) are the most frequently recognized. We tested the significance of social factors, gender and age group for predicting plant recognition among children. We found no significant difference in the scores according to gender, but counter to our expectations, the Bayesian statistics reveal it is extremely likely (91% probability) that younger children recognize more plant tokens than older children. These results suggest an erosion of local ethnobotanical knowledge as children enter their teenage years. Individual variability in recognition is further examined in the project’s next phases, using interviews with the children and the ethnographic knowledge of each child’s family. This study will serve in developing initiatives with the communities that can enhance knowledge transmission and maintenance among this group.","PeriodicalId":45498,"journal":{"name":"South East Asia Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"180 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47096458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whiting argues that the result in this case is reflective of an emergency legality at the core of Malaysia’s legal system that results in a jurisprudence of legal exceptionalism. Of course, the capacity of UMNO leadership to circumvent the law for its own purposes was pushed to the extreme in the 1MDB corruption scandal. Kerstin Steiner provides an excellent detailed account of the enormous flows of money involved in the mismanagement of 1MDB and the kleptocratic efforts by Najib to limit the government’s ability to investigate the collapse of the sovereign investment vehicle. Tricia Yeoh presents a chapter on the Malaysian oil and gas sector in light of standards of corporate good governance. In her discussion, she dwells briefly on the Petroleum Development Act and tensions between state and federal governments over oil and gas revenues. Of course, this would become an important ‘fault line of the new Malaysia’, in Lemière’s words, as oiland gas-rich states in the wake of the fall of the UMNO-led BN government sought to gain leverage against a now-weakened federal government. In general, revisiting Illusions of Democracy several years after its publication indicates very clearly that many of the new fault lines forming in Malaysian politics are directly related to the divides and structures already in place under Najib’s government.","PeriodicalId":45498,"journal":{"name":"South East Asia Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"139 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44489395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With cartography pluralized, the conference theme embodied very aptly a fundamental reality of historical, political, anthropological and other types of academic research, i.e. that there can be multiple ways of representing and interpreting something, multiple ways of making it real, multiple ways of manifesting a place and its people. I had wanted to seize on this truth and use it as a jumping off point to talk about how we could nurture meaningful scholarship on Mindanao, and talk about the ways in which we construct and deconstruct both Mindanao and Mindanawons through our research. The wonderfully eclectic selection of papers that were presented – only a handful of which appear in this volume – provided a good cross-section of the quality, depth and diversity of scholarship possible for Mindanao, the southern Philippines more generally, and for other places like it. Places that, through the accident of modern national politics and history, have been relegated in academic research and scholarship to peripheral status at best, silence more commonly, in the face of national narratives, and total erasure at worst. This neglect of Mindanao is reinforced further by the cliquish tendencies of Philippine studies (as with any Area Studies endeavour), and its persistently ‘national’ optics that, to those of us who study ‘provincial’ places, peoples and topics, seems to bear down on our scholarship like an intellectual panopticon at times. In addition, academic research both in and on Mindanao – as represented in the annotated bibliography by the Mindanao Studies Consortium (2005) – has lagged relative to national scholarship, to the significant detriment of the field, as Patricio Abinales argues in ‘What sayeth the margins? A note on the state of Mindanao scholarship in Mindanao’ (this volume). In my own experience, scholarly voices speaking of or from Mindanao also tend to be explicitly provincialized, relegated to a lone ‘Mindanao’ panel at a Philippines conference regardless of the actual relatedness of their research topics. Thus the tremendous value of this conference, focused on this obscure(d) place, was in its deliberate centring of Mindanao not as a subset of Philippine studies nor removed entirely from it, but read autonomously in its own right. This approach has, by fortunate design, drawn scholars who","PeriodicalId":45498,"journal":{"name":"South East Asia Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"3 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48057401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A precedent can be seen in some of the items included in lists of sukhaduh khas (‘joys and sorrows’, misdeeds and accidents requiring legal inquiry and remedy) that appear in Old Javanese charters from as early as the ninth century. Hoadley makes some unsystematic remarks on such charters in Appendix IV: ‘Diverse Components’. In addition, several Old Javanese legal texts likely older than those discussed by Hoadley define technical terms of law, including some longer expressions resembling Hoadley’s slokas, in formulas ending in n aranya (or its Middle Javanese equivalent arane), meaning ‘its name is... , it is called... ’ – a practice to which Hoadley in fact alludes (170–72). Indeed, ‘the bedewed corpse’ so designated (and explained) in section 66 of the Kutāra Mānava (Hoadley’s ‘Agama’) and similar texts also appears in the lists in the inscriptions. The Pūrvādhigama Śāsana, an unpublished Old Javanese work detailing the rights and privileges of Śaiva priests, explains seven sloka-type expressions that designate various sorts of wrong-doer, to whom the priests are entitled to offer asylum – that is, the priests’ properties may constitute ‘open temple-gates’ (gopura mən ā). One of these expressions, celen bolotən (‘dirty pig’), appears with similar valence (to refer to a habitual cheat) in the modern Javanese expression ngadhepi cèlèng boloten (Suwarno 1999, 220). These examples show that thehistory of the ‘slokaphenomenon’ in textual form ismucholder than the eighteenth century, and that a thorough account of early modern Javanese legal concepts and practices requires a fuller investigation of older sources. It also requires that those sources be treated with philological acumen and historical sensitivity that are lacking in this volume. Hence, although Hoadley has identified a fascinating and important topic in legal history, the book has several serious flaws and limitations, and should be consultedwith caution.","PeriodicalId":45498,"journal":{"name":"South East Asia Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"142 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46842445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
