Abstract

This research examines women’s role and their decision-making related to swidden farming. This research was conducted in two different regions, Sorong (lowland) and Maybrat (highland) in West Papua. Key informants in this research were indigenous Papuan women, their husbands, and relatives. The aim of the research is to demonstrate that in the realm of traditional agriculture, women play important roles, starting from production, plant nursery, to the crop distribution to market. Nonetheless, the role of women tends to disappear, when the system of agriculture changes to sedentary farming by using chemical substances and other modern and farming technologies.

Abstract

Anthropology has long history of doing research regarding tobacco. Yet, there has not been the attempts for integrating the tobacco studies. Therefore, this paper expects to reveal the historical development of tobacco utilization in general and also to understand a case in Indonesia in particular. Since this country is considered to be the largest consumption of smoking "kretek" tobacco, it is clear that smoking already becomes ‘tradition’ among Indonesian society. So, the research question for this paper is how the government and local agencies make their efforts to prevent their own people to reduce the habit of smoking. By collecting, studying, reviewing some of the historical literatures and research articles, it shows that there is government's efforts to reduce the behavior of smoking among the people, especially the male ones. But, it doesn't provide great impacts for the people because the government only limits wiggle room of tobacco-advertisement industries, and the tobacco companies are still able to run their business without stricted regulations. Local agencies then are considered to be 'management from below', who also have roles on reducing the habit of usual smoking among the people of Indonesia. Therefore, managing habit of the people doesn't only come from the state-administration, but it can also be the local agencies who have the potential to reduce the 'cultural-tradition' of smoking among the society of Indonesia.

Abstract

In the European nations, there has been a lot of discussions and arguments regarding the community who have a ‘migration background’. Migrants nowadays are more capable of competing against local residents in terms of looking for better employment and participating in the political activities in European countries. Consequently, it creates fear within ‘mainstream’ society since it is presumably able to threaten their way of life. This interesting moment can benefit the populist political parties for gaining voices from the majority population. But, in the aftermath of 22/7 terror attacks in Norway, it also created tension between locals and those who are considered having a ‘migration background’. The people who have migration background, especially Muslim community, already has long history of migration to Norway. Therefore, the research question is how the Muslim community adapt to the situation of populism in Norway. By using historical literatures and research articles regarding the aftermath of 22/7 terror attack, it shows that the intersectional approach is useful to see the intermingled aspects of class, identity, religion, nationality, gender, and ethnicity of marginalised communities. These migrants now are facing multiple discriminations. Protests in the public sphere as a way of adapting to the atmosphere of populism are considered as their struggles for citizenship since the government seems to fail at managing multicultural society, especially advocating the minority groups. This kind of situation is common in the era of populism emerging in many countries targeting minority groups as political manoeuvre in order to gain voices among the ‘common’ society.

Abstract

The term "mining" carries a sensitive connotation for the sand lifters on the margins of Sorong City, West Papua, who prefer to identify themselves as "orang-orang angkat pasir" (sand lifters). Their labor involves extracting sand from rivers and clearing hillsides—often through deforestation—to facilitate sand collection. The ecological repercussions of these informal sand mining activities, including deforestation, have drawn concern from local governments, residents, and environmental advocates, who view these practices as detrimental to the environment. This negative perception has contributed to the stigmatization of "sand mining" as a term and a practice. This paper examines the lives and livelihoods of sand lifters, addressing the question: How do they sustain themselves through sand mining activities? For many, sand lifting represents a last resort to survive and participate in urban development, even as their work contributes to environmental degradation. While sand mining poses significant ecological challenges, it simultaneously serves as a lifeline for marginalized communities striving to improve their living conditions. By focusing on the case of sand lifters in West Papua, this paper applies the concept of "infrapolitics" to explore the intersections of informality, political agency, and the right to livelihood in urban contexts. In doing so, it broadens the discourse on human rights, informality, and environmental justice in the region, highlighting on the complex dynamics between survival, urban development, and ecological impact.
