Title: Opening up the Borneo Hinterlands: Towards Liberalized or Hierarchized Movements of Goods and People?
Speaker：Dr. Dave Lumenta, Department of Anthropology, University of Indonesia
Abstract：
The accelerated construction of roads have resulted in the opening-up of the last (hitherto) inaccessible of Borneo’s hinterlands. This has arguably freed up the flows of commodities and people between the interior and lowland regions. Roads, however, differ significantly from rivers and footpaths that previously constituted the major lifeline for most interior regions. The terrestrial permanency of roads and the privatized means of their utilization shares little in common with rivers and footpaths which were treated rather as inter-village commons in the past. This talk focuses on the emergent social organization and relations borne out from these recent developments.
