This article discusses the ways in which citizens have enhanced agency through informal and polite claims-making. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a village in West Java, this article argues that citizens tend to pressure the authorities in polite, personal, and highly informal ways to deal with state institutions and gain access to public services. Such forms of informal and polite citizenship signify a reasonably effective communal culture of consensus-formation that defines the predominantly complex character of state institutions in Indonesia. Consequently, citizens have become more capable in claiming their rights and positioning themselves vis-à-vis the authorities. These everyday practices have affected the balance of power between village authorities, informal community leaders, and citizens. By taking examples from rural West Java, this article unveils the everyday informality and the politics of politeness that may also take place in other rural areas of Indonesia and possibly the larger non-Western world.

This article presents a critical, postcolonial analysis of the travel accounts of the Dutch church minister Sytze Roorda van Eysinga (1773–1829), who travelled within the East Indies archipelago in the 1820s as ‘visitator’ of the churches and schools in the colony. Which elements are characteristic of the preacher’s perspective? What did he emphasize in his travel texts? How did he represent the indigenous people who had to be Christianized eventually? So far, only little attention has been paid to the preacher’s perspective in general and to the work of Sytze Roorda van Eysinga in particular. First, Roorda’s representation of the tropical landscape is analysed. Then, his ideas about the indigenous people are discussed, mainly using the theoretical framework of the book Missionary discourses of difference. Negotiating Otherness in the British Empire, 1840–1900 by Esme Cleall (2012).
本文对荷兰教会牧师Sytze Roorda van Eysinga(1773-1829)的旅行记录进行了批判性的后殖民分析，他在19世纪20年代作为殖民地教堂和学校的“访客”在东印度群岛旅行。传道人的观点有哪些特点?他在游记中强调了什么?他如何代表那些最终不得不被基督教化的土著人民?到目前为止，很少有人注意到传教士的观点，特别是Sytze Roorda van Eysinga的工作。首先，分析了Roorda对热带景观的表现。然后，主要运用《传教士话语的差异》一书的理论框架，探讨了他对土著人民的看法。埃斯梅·克莱尔(Esme Cleall)的《在大英帝国谈判他者性，1840-1900》(2012)。

For over 180 years, it has been reported in academic and popular literature that Portuguese raiders from Timor captured and enslaved people from the Tiwi Islands in north Australia. The experience of slave-raiding is often cited as an explanation for the islanders’ fierce hostility to intruders. However, this is despite the lack of any solid evidence to support the slave-raiding claims. Additionally, if Portuguese slave-raiding of the Tiwi Islands began in the sixteenth century or at the very beginning of the seventeenth century, as is often claimed, or implied, then the generally accepted history of the European discovery of Australia is wrong. The origins of these claims, their validity, and alternative readings of the Tiwi Islands’ history are all explored in this article.

The revised prose version of the Babad Tanah Jawi was originally prepared by C.F. Winter Sr. (1799-1859), with the twofold aim of providing Javanese-language teaching material and of setting a standard for formal Javanese prose writing. At that time, Javanese was almost exclusively written in verse, which was not a medium suitable for the modern world that was dawning on Java. Although Winter achieved his aims in other ways and publications, the present text was mostly forgotten, or was just passed over as another copy of the Meinsma text (Pigeaud, Literature of Java). This was unfortunate, because it deprived linguists of one of the first attempts to create a standard Javanese prose language, and historians of a readable text that presented a Javanese view of Javanese history from the beginning until 1742. To belatedly set the record straight and to honour Winter’s contributions to the development of Javanese, the author decided to publish this text in Javanese script and provide an English translation for the general public. Although historians of Java have endeavoured to incorporate Javanese sources in their research, it remains invaluable to view that history directly through the eyes of 17th and 18th century Javanese contemporaries.
《Babad Tanah javi》的修订散文版最初是由C.F. Winter Sr.(1799-1859)编写的，具有双重目的，一是提供爪哇语教学材料，二是为正式的爪哇散文文写作设定标准。在那个时候，爪哇语几乎完全是用诗写的，这不是一种适合在爪哇出现的现代世界的媒介。尽管温特以其他方式和出版物实现了他的目标，但现在的文本大多被遗忘了，或者只是作为迈因斯玛文本的另一个副本而被忽略了(鸽子，爪哇文学)。这是不幸的，因为它使语言学家失去了创造标准爪哇散文语言的第一批尝试之一，也使历史学家失去了一份可读的文本，该文本以爪哇人的视角呈现了从开始到1742年的爪哇历史。为了及时澄清事实，并纪念温特对爪哇语发展的贡献，作者决定以爪哇文字出版这篇文章，并为公众提供英文翻译。虽然爪哇的历史学家努力将爪哇语的资料纳入他们的研究中，但通过17世纪和18世纪爪哇人的眼睛直接观察这段历史仍然是无价的。
