Nggua Keu Uwi (“Ritual of Areca Nut and Yam”) is a ritual of the Lio people of Detukeli village (Flores, Indonesia) held before planting rice. The main symbols in the Nggua Keu Uwi rite are areca nut and yam, which are linked to the history of the Lio-Ende people. The Lio-Ende people used to rely on yams as a staple food, but their living conditions improved after the emergence of rice agriculture. The religious significance of this rite can be understood as Eliade’s “eternal return”: by recounting and re-enacting the myths of Ine Pare and Lengo, the people of Detukeli enter the sacred time before their village of Detukeli was founded. The social functions of the ceremony are also considered through the lens of Durkheim’s theory of religion as a means of social regulation.

This article investigates the unintended consequences of community-based ecotourism in the Sierra de Juárez in Oaxaca, Mexico. The state sponsors the implementation of eco-tourism in Indigenous communities to foster economic opportunities, “development,” and sociocultural inclusion. Several villages adopt this programme, displaying the rich biodiversity of their localities, revitalising their ecological knowledge and sharing cultural traditions with tourists. In this process, some tourists gain a new appreciation for Indigenous communities when they discover that local environmental expertise is framed using global discourse of environmental protection and awareness. We argue that this new esteem enacts novel subject formations and empowers some Indigenous actors while also generating new forms of governance and vigilante practices among community members. Those who do not comply with environmental policies, in particular women, are viewed with suspicion for being out of step with community values. The article concludes that power and hegemony are at work under the name of “good” environmental management. [Mexico, ecotourism, decolonization, subjectivation, governance, vigilance, waste, gender]

Low seats in Java have existed since Indian traders came to bring Hindu/Buddhist practices in the 8th century, where only high-caste people sat on low-elevated stone. During the colonial era, ordinary Javanese began using a low wooden stool named dingklik, intended for work. It has a simple form and is often hidden when unused, with little perceived importance. This study identifies the dingklik’s transformation through economic activities in Java during the colonial era. By collecting contemporary paintings, photographs, and films, the dingklik was analyzed in terms of content, visual elements, and height in the economic activities. Economically, the shape was oriented for mobility: the dingklik for pikul traders has smaller and lighter legs, hence was easier to carry. The dingklik in crafting has a greater volume of wood legs for long term use in a workplace. This research exposed the visual characteristics of the dingklik especially in the trade and craft economic activities. [Java, dingklik, Javanese sitting culture, trade and craft economy, colonial era, traditional low stool].
