Over the past two decades, anthropologist J. Stephen Lansing and geneticist Murray Cox have explored dozens of villages on the islands of the Malay Archipelago, combining ethnographic research with research into genetic and linguistic markers to shed light on how these societies change over time. Islands of Order draws on their pioneering fieldwork to show how the science of complexity can be used to better understand unstable dynamics in culture, language, cooperation, and the emergence of hierarchies.Complexity science has opened exciting new vistas in physics and biology, but poses challenges for social scientists. What triggers fundamental, discontinuous social change? And what brings stable patterns-islands of order-into existence? Lansing and Cox begin with an incisive and accessible introduction to models of change, from simple random drift to coupled interactions, phase transitions, co-phylogenies, and adaptive landscapes. Then they take readers on a series of journeys to the islands of the Indo-Pacific to demonstrate how social scientists can harness these powerful tools to discover out-of-equilibrium social dynamics. Lansing and Cox address empirical questions surrounding the colonization of the Pacific, the relationship of language to culture, the emergence and disappearance of male and female hierarchies, and more.Unlocking new possibilities for the social sciences, Islands of Order is accompanied by an interactive companion website that enables readers to explore the models described in the book.

In Austronesia' the region that stretches from Madagascar in the west to Easter Island in the east-music plays a vital role in both the construction and expression of social and cultural identities. Yet research into the music of Austronesia has hitherto been sparse. Drawing together contemporary cultural studies and musical analysis, Austronesian Soundscapes will fill this research gap, offering a comprehensive analysis of traditional and contemporary Austronesian music and, at the same time, investigating how music reflects the challenges that Austronesian cultures face in this age of globalization.

Kolonialismus ist in der Schweiz kaum ein Thema. Doch obwohl das Land keine Kolonien hatte, lassen sich schweizerische Unternehmen und Migranten in allen Kolonien der Welt finden. Am Beispiel der Handelsstadt Singapur und des Plantagengürtels in Sumatra untersucht Andreas Zangger die Beziehungen der Schweiz zum Kolonialismus zwischen 1860 und 1930. Mittels migrationsgeschichtlicher und transnationaler Ansätze zeichnet er den Aufbau von Netzwerken nach und analysiert die Beziehungen zu den Kolonialmächten sowie zu den Kolonisierten. Zangger legt dabei Verflechtungen zwischen der Schweiz und Südostasien offen und zeigt die Bedeutung der sogenannten ›Schweizer Kolonien‹ in Übersee für Industrie, Handel und Wissenschaft in der Schweiz. »Zangger, mit neuen Ansätzen der Firmen- und Marketinggeschichte gut vertraut, hat Wichtiges zum Aufbau und zur Funktionsweise prekärer Netzwerke von Warenflüssen, Personalzirkulation und Wissenstransfer zu sagen.« Jürgen Osterhammel, Historische Zeitschrift, 296 (2013) »Ein lesenswertes Buch, in dem die neuere kolonialhistorische Literatur gekonnt mit der schweizerischen Geschichte verwoben wird. Es wird eindrucksvoll gezeigt, wie sehr auch ein Land ohne eigene Kolonien durch den Kolonialismus geprägt wurde.« Christof Dejung, www.sehepunkte.de, 9 (2012) Besprochen in: Studium, 1/7 (2014), Andreas Weber Neue Politische Literatur, 58 (2013), Daniel Speich Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, 44/2 (2013), Vincent Houben Neue Politische Literatur, 59 (2014), Christof Dejung

This volume originates from the proceedings of an international conference convened by the Department of History and Civilization, International Islamic University Malaysia, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Yemen, in Kuala Lumpur, from 26 to 28 August 2005. Twelve out of thirty-five papers presented at the conference have been reviewed, thoroughly revised and published in this volume. The introduction and the twelve chapters address the question of Hadhrami identity in Southeast Asia from various perspectives and investigate the patterns of Hadhrami interaction with diverse cultures, values and beliefs in the region. Special attention is paid to Hadhrami local and transnational politics, social stratification and integration, religio-social reform and journalism, as well as to economic dynamism and the cosmopolitan character of the Hadhrami societies in Southeast Asia.
