Most scholars think the so-called “Zheng He Map” was drawn in the early fifteenth century. This famous map shows the sailing route from Nanjing in China via the Malay world to Sri Lanka and India, West Asia and East Africa. It also indicates several branch routes. One such branch leads from the sea near the southern section of modern Vietnam to the Natuna Islands, Cape Datu and the west coast of Kalimantan. From there it continues to the northern shore of Java. Further routes link Java to the areas of Billiton, Bangka, Sumatra, and so on. The present paper examines the Vietnam-Natuna-Kalimantan-Java segment. It discusses various toponyms shown on the map in connection with that route and compares the relevant information with data found in other sources of the Ming period, especially nautical texts. The conclusion is that Chinese vessels used several north-south sailing corridors through the Natuna Sea.

Since the period of rapid development in the People’s Republic of China after the reforms initiated by Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s, the world is experiencing a new wave of Chinese migration. Loosely defined as Chinese people who are outside of China to conduct business, work, or study, or join their family overseas, these new Chinese migrants – also known as xinyimin 新移民 – have had a profound impact on their host countries that are encountering a rising China.

This article analyzes and contextualizes the journalistic activity of Islamic academic and celebrity public intellectual Azyumardi Azra during the Indonesian democratization process from 1998 to 2004, the so-called Reformasi. An in-depth content analysis of 84 media articles Azra published in the four most prominent Indonesian media outlets is presented. It finds that in his position as rector of the country’s largest Islamic higher education institute, Azra mostly addressed the educated Indonesian middle class on topics such as the compatibility of Islam and democracy and interfaith tolerance and peace, and that he also articulated sharp criticism on the country’s political and religious elite and civil society, all of which actively contributed to critical discourse and the expression of freedom of speech in the democratizing public sphere. The article first discusses several classical sociological aspects of public intellectuals and assesses their relevance for the Indonesian context. Next, by drawing on the history of state-funded Indonesian Islamic academia, the article argues that Azra’s public political engagement and discursive style are representative and illustrative of a broader phenomenon that since the country’s independence shapes the Indonesian public sphere: the public political agency of Islamic academics who act as cosmopolitan brokers in society. The article further argues that the Indonesian Islamic academic milieu constitutes a distinctive religious actor group in political processes and in publicly backing up democracy—dynamics that deserve more scholarly attention.

The creation of Archipel, which proposed to publish chronicles, studies, and especially documents and “dossiers thematiques” on the Insulindian world, was to become a platform for cultural and historical studies on various Chinese communities of the Indonesian archipelago, the Malay peninsula and Singapore, and to a lesser extent the Philippines, so to say on the fringes of the mainstream of Anglo-Saxon research that started in the late 1950s. Since 1971, slightly more than one hundred studies have been published that for the most part deal with literary and historical matters. Here we intend to reflect on these fifty years of research, that, although not planned, have over the years taken on a meaning that has gradually emerged over the year. We arbitrarily elaborate on a certain number of key themes for which the research has been particularly rewarding. The reader can get an idea of the variety of subjects dealt with during these fifty years by perusing the bibliography appended to this article.
