SUMMARY:Oral and Local Traditions in Eastern Indonesia
LOCATION:REC A2.15
DESCRIPTION:Eastern Indonesia is a region that is characterized by great et
 hnic and linguistic diversity and comparatively small-scale historical poli
 ties. In this environment, local histories, which were often orally transmi
 tted, became important for the self-understanding of the communities, which
  historically often lived in a volatile environment marked by resource scar
 city, local warfare, and colonial exploitation. Traditions can be remarkabl
 y stable and convey data about persons and events over hundreds of years; h
 owever, they may also be altered to serve claims and identities pertaining 
 to their own time. Thus, they are documents of the present as well as trans
 mitting the collective memory of the past. Here, it is important to careful
 ly analyze the great variety of oral forms of narrations and the circumstan
 ces of transmission. The presentations of this panel make use of the recent
  methodological advances in the study of oral traditions to study local cas
 es in the island world to the North Maluku, Maluku and Timor regions, scrut
 inizing communities and former polities with a strong awareness of the comm
 unal past.
