Hello sister,
Greetings, love and peace.
I missed a lot, but back now.
Love and blessings to you and the family.

I'm not focusing on the cosmological nor symbolical aspect of Kantu and Melayu Ethnics, rather exploring the changing land use from different period and analyzing how certain schemes of spatial historical knowledge influences being intersect with scientific-analysis of forest landscape they had learned in the vast timber logging era. For your information this ethnics also live in the middle of global flux of ideas since the emerging trade network of forest commodity, connecting them with the big tradition of cosmology such as christianity and Islamic Kingdom. But I have found the information about their belief (Kantu Tribe) which explaining about the concept dead land (tanah mati) and living land which mark where is the land that has reciprocity between nature and human and where is not. Since they were living in the swamp and lowland area they were not refering to mountain or cosmic oceans in the origin of belief, great tradition and modernity had change their belief for hundred years.

Hi Alice,

My area of interest are anthropology of space, cultural construction of technology, and also science and technology studies. I'm currently work at Center of Anthropological Studies University of Indonesia. I'm now currently in the middle of my fieldwork in Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan, studying the relation between ecological landscape and cultural landscape in the middle of historical continuity of forest use among Dayak Kantu and Melayu Ethnics. I'm very happy for your kind welcoming message. Thanks Alice.

Hi there,

My areas of interest are innovation anthropology and business anthropology. I currently work as an innovation anthropologist in a small branding company. I have been working within market research, product and concept development, idea generation and facilitating workshops. I am looking forward to applying anthropology and ethnographic method into practice in my new job!

Dear Alice,

Many thanks for your welcoming message. I am dealing with Visual and legal Anthropology. But my interest is nomads/Pastoralists( Mbororo) in central Africa, refugees and gender; frontiers and belonging. I hold a master in Law and another in visual anthropology from Tromso university. I did my fieldwork in the northern Cameroon on the Mbororo settlment process. Now I am a PhD candidate dealing with the issue of refugees from Central Africa Republic to the Eastern Cameroon. It is the same ethnic group though but who has to change their life system because of the civil war and insecurity in the bush. From "nomadism" to "refugism" what it is?

Hi Alice,

Thank you for your welcome message.

I've got interests all over the place. I did my masters in ethnobotany, and have worked with Indigenous Peoples in Micronesia, South America, Central America, North America, and Europe. I was doing work along the lines of traditional land use studies for a while here in Canada, and I'm fairly proficient with GIS. I like ethnoecology, and looking at healthy and balanced ways of living with the rest of the living world, and I've got a keen interest in magic and ritual. So many interesting topics.

What do you like to play with?
