""Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, istilah multikulturalisme terasa semakin populer di Indonesia. Diskusi dan seminar tentang multikulturalisme muncul di beberapa kota besar di Jawa diantara kalangan yang berbeda-beda. Walau demikian, hal itu ternyata tidak selalu dibarengi dengan pemahaman yang jelas tentang apa multikulturalisme itu sendiri. Multikulturalisme ternyata masih sering disamakan dengan pluralisme. Untunglah, kini telah terbit dua jilid buku berjudul Etika Terapan: Sebuah Pendekatan Multikultural. Meskipun fokus dua buku itu pada masalah etika, namun karena pendekatan yang digunakan adalah multikultural, maka uraian teoretis tentang konsep multikultural lantas menjadi sebuah keharusan, dan buku ini telah menampilkannya dengan baik. Buku yang merupakan kumpulan tulisan berbagai ahli ini dibuka dengan sebuah tulisan filosofis mengenai persoalan-persoalan di seputar etika, terutama perbenturan atau tarik-menarik antara etika sosial dan etika individual, sebagaimana tercermin dalam wacana tentang etika di Barat. Perdebatan mengenai hal ini bertambah hangat ketika dunia Barat mulai mengenal dunia yang lain, dunia 'the Other' (entah itu yang bernama Islam, Timur, negara ketiga, Negara berkembang, atau yang lain), dan menyadari bahwa Barat harus hidup berdampingan dengan 'Yang Lain' tersebut. Kenyataan ini akhirnya memaksa Barat untuk berusaha mengenal 'Yang Lain' di luar dirinya. Bukankah mengenal yang lain juga bagian dari proses mengenal diri sendiri?""

"This article examines notions of identity in the context of Mamanda, a traditional theatre in Banjar, South Kalimantan. The author Mamanda as a cultural symbol and describes the formulation of its identity using a semiotic approach whereby identity is conceived as a part of a binary composition fluctuating between the opposing notions of 'us' and 'other'. This is illustrated in the oppositions between the theatre's community and the state, individuals and the state, and the contradictory oppositions between the community members within Mamanda itself. This article demonstrates that identity is continually reformulated and is linked to political interests such as regional autonomy."

"Studies on local knowledge are recently important in development program. Such studies remind us to learn from the community before we teach them. This article discusses how local knowledge understood and used to encourage people participation in forest conversation in South Tapanuli, North Sumatera. The author argues that local knowledge in forest management can be revitalized to build participation if only all stakeholders able to make social commitment as part of social capital."

"People from Buton, Southeast Sulawesi, have for centuries migrated to Ambon for work, there forming one of the most prominent communities of 'pendatang' along with the Bugis. Since the beginning of the recent conflicts in Maluku, official figures indicate that over 160,000people have returned to Buton (previous population 450,000) as refugees. This paper discusses the identity of these refugees and how the term 'refugee' may be misleading. Some of the 'refugees', who often ask to be referred to as 'returned migrants', had retained strong connections with their villages in Buton while they were living in Ambon. Their integration back into Butonese society after their flight from the conflict in Ambon poses, however, a number of serious challenges, especially for those born in Ambon. Having always been called 'Butonese' in Ambon, the returned migrants are often referred to as 'Ambonese' after their return to Buton and they often find it hard to adjust to life in Buton. This paper is based on fieldwork currently being undertaken in the village of Boneoge, Buton. I will discuss some aspects of the lives of the returned migrants in Buton, including their interactions with other Butonese people, as well as some of their perspectives on their own experiences. In Buton; perspectives on their identity are thus being expressed and contested through issues such as use of local languages, dance parties, and contested land rights. Their memories of life in Ambon, and of the conflict, also play a role in their constructions of identity, and in how they respond to challenges intheir lives in Buton now. Here memory is seen as a constructive process, which is culturally influenced, structured by narratives, and adapted to a context."

"During the new order era local adat was subjected to a process of cultural erosion due to the priorities accorded national integrations, as well as economic, social and development by the Indonesian government. However, the '90s have witnessed a resurgence of concern with adat as a vehicle for the local peoples' identity and as a mechanism for local government and dispute resolution, trends intensified since the beginning of the reformasi era with its relegitimation of discourse of regional autonomy. This essay presents a case study of these processes among Lindu people of Central Sulawesi, focusing upon how they have managed to reinvigorate their adat as a response to two forms of governmental imposition: 1) the encompassment of their land within a national park (i.e. Taman National Lore Lindu); and 2) the plan to construct a hydroelectric project, which would have forced the loss of land to rising water level and resettlement of the local population. The Lindu people have sought there empowerment of their adat by recasting it as a community resource management system that they argue can lead to greater sustainability of local natural resource than any imposed regimen of national park regulations. With assistance of NGOs such as Yayasan Tanah Merdeka, they have also adopted the discourse of 'indigenous people' to defend their continuing right of inhabitation in their homeland in the face of threatened resettlement. This essay explores the cultural politics of masyarakat adat as 'indigenous people' and the invocation of ecologically sound 'indigenous wisdom' as a warrant for resistance to development programs."

""Lewat globalisasi, keterkaitan antara manusia dan tempat meningkat, dan manusia yang sebelumnya tidak pernah saling jumpa sekarang berkesempatan untuk menjalin kontak. Meskipun kita dapat melihat globalisasi terjadidi mana-mana, proses globalisasi sebenarnya tidak terdistribusi secara merata. Sebagian orang, hampir tidak pernah pindah dari satu tempat ke tempat lain yang berbeda dari tempat mereka lahir dan mati, dan banyak lagi yang tidak berpartisipasi secara aktif dalam seluruh pola konsumsi, birokrasi, atau informasi yang merupakan karakteristik dari globalisasi. Namun, setiap orang pada tingkatan tertentu terlibat dalam suatu bentuk sirkulasi yang baru. Globalisasi telah merubah dunia dimana kitasemua hidup.""

"This article analyses forest resources management in Tana Toa, South Sulawesi, headed by Ammatoa. Keammatoan membership is divided into Ilalang embaya or adat area and Ipantaran gembaya or outside adat area. The adat allows possibility of empowering local institutions to manage forest resources in the context of regional autonomy. This paper discusses to what extent Ammatoa leadership and adat have been used for managing forest resources through reflective mutual understanding process which lead to the transformation to an open community."

"In the last two decades, deforestation - especially tropical rain forest - becomes the main issue due to the future of mankind. In Indonesia, deforestation increased from 300,000 ha/year in 1970s to 600,000 ha/year in 1980s. Some people argue that shifting cultivation plays important role in this deforestation. Yet, there is methodological constraint to obtain the best figure of deforestation caused by shifting cultivators, namely too exaggerated and unacceptable. Hence, the authors suggest some aspects that can be taken into consideration in calculating contribution of shifting cultivation to deforestation in Indonesia such as population dynamic, technological change, introducing cash crop, presence of migrant cultivator, and transmigration program."
