My concern in this chapter is with what Penelope Graham (1991: 217), in her study of ‘paths of life’ in eastern Flores, has called ‘regeneration’— that is, the sociological process by which a younger generation in society accedes to the social and ritual roles previously performed by members of the preceding generation. Here, I focus, in particular, on Saribas Iban funerary rituals and the way in which these rituals represent societal regeneration through imagery of paths and journeys and by an analogic association of societal regeneration with the seasonal renewal of botanic life, particularly the life of cultivated crops.

The ‘long songs’1 I have been working on in Indonesia, in both the Toraja and the Lamaholot regions, have a basic similarity: they tell the story of journeys. In the Toraja region (Sulawesi), they were called ossoran, from the verb mangosso’ (‘to tell in an ordered way, according to a succession’). They described the origin of something—an object (iron, a cordyline leaf ), a human, a spirit (the bugi’ )—and recounted its progress from a distant place (the sky or elsewhere) to the site of narration in the human world. These were not genealogies, because there was no question of a succession of filiation. They were about journeys or peregrinations in space. These stories, in octosyllabic lines, performed through songs and dances during many days, bringing the whole community together, were banned by the
