Condition: very good. Oxford & New York : Oxford University Press, 2001. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xix, 341 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [325]-331) and index. Synopsis : Society in the Keo region of the eastern Indonesian island of Flores reveals a pervasive pairing of villages, clans, and other…groups. Apart from introducing a hitherto undescribed population, this study - deriving from fieldwork conducted by the author over a period of 15 years - analyzes a form of society that has occupied anthropologists since the inception of their discipline: morphological dualism, or dual organization. Drawing on a notion of encompassment inspired by Dumont's theory of "hierarchy", the author interprets dualistic social forms as products of a continuous process of combination and a tendency to create binary wholes through the partial assimilation of junior by senior partners. While Keo exemplifies a variant of a widespread eastern Indonesian pattern of binary classification and asymmetric marriage alliance, the analysis shows how Keo morphological dualism cannot be reduced to the categories of a dual classification nor to unique or exclusive forms of reciprocity or functional complementarity. (Oxford studies in social and cultural anthropology). Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780198234241. Keywords : , Keo (Indonesian people).

Condition: as new. Edited and translated by Gregory Forth. Leiden : KITLV Press, 2004. Paperback. xiii,266 pp. (Translation Series, 27). - In 1940, a Dutch colonial officer named Louis Fontijne (1902-1968) was commissioned to conduct an investigation of indigenous land tenure and leadership in the Residency of Timor and Dependen…cies. Dealing specifically with Kelimado, a region included in the Nage district of central Flores, its main product was a remarkable study of society and culture and the effects of over three decades of Dutch administration and Christian proselytizing. In regard to ethnographic detail and analytical insight, the work, entitled Grondvoogden in Kelimado , resembles more an academic thesis than a government report; yet another interest is Fontijne s forthright critique of colonial policy and recommendations for administrative reform. Incorporating an edited translation of the only comprehensive description of the Nage society produced during the colonial period, as well as an evaluation by a modern ethnographer, this book will be of interest to anthropologists, historians and other scholars concerned with Indonesia and the Netherlands Indies. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9789067182232. Keywords : .

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Beneath the Volcano is the first major account of the Nage, who inhabit the central part of Flores in eastern Indonesia.The book focuses on Nage ideas concerning a variety of spiritual beings and how these influence both ritual practices and ideas about human beings. In exploring these subj…ects, the author sets out to uncover a classification of spirits. While quite different from taxonomies of natural beings, Nage ways of linking named categories of spirits nevertheless reveal a regular conceptual order. In describing this order, use is made of a version of Dumont's notion of 'encompassment'. Common ideas informing relations between Nage humans and several categories of spirits are further interpreted as instances of a pervasive principle of 'symmetric inversion', according to which human beings are spirits for the spirits.
