The migration history of the Toraja in Makassar, the their present mobility and the way the Toraja in Makassar construct their diasporic identities can be traced in the very name of a Torajan village in the heart of the city of Makassar, Kampung Rama. The word “Rama” designates different meanings for different segments of population, within the village and the city of Makassar. The word Rama stands for Toraja-Makassar, thus signifying the relations between the two ethnic groups. For some Torajans in the village and Makassar, the word Rama stands for Rantepao-Makale, the capitals of two main districts in Toraja. The third and most pervasive meaning amongst the Christian elites in the village, however, is biblical, a reference to a city in Israel. This article investigates the way different interpretations of the same name, Rama, reflects not only different strategies of positioning the Toraja diaspora within the city of Makassar, but also internal differences within the community in constructing their identity and their collective memory. Through ethnographic method, namely interviews and participation observation, the researchers map and categorizes the way different actors: Church elites, government officials, inhabitants of Kampung Rama and outsiders construct their narratives about Kampung Rama. Different interpretation of the name also reveals positionality within the history of migration (between old and new settlers), and also social structures (educated, Church elite and the lower classes), the ones originating from the two main districts in the homeland and those from less visible villages, and the role of government in promoting “Little Toraja” tourism. The findings reveal diversity within the migrant communities, and layers of othering, hierarchical structures with its power relations, as well as strategies in creating unity within and with the Makasarese."

"ABSTRACTThe present paper reflects on Indonesia's status as an archipelagic state and a maritime nation from a historical perspective. It explores the background of a multi-year research project into Indonesia's maritime past currently being undertaken at the Humanities Faculty of University Indonesia. The multidisciplinary research use toponymy, epigraphy, philology, and linguistic lines of analysis in examining old inscriptions and manuscripts and also includes site visits to a number of old port cities across the archipelago. We present here some of the core concepts behind the research such as the importance of the ancient port cities in a network of maritime trade and diplomacy, and link them to some contemporary issues such as the Archipelagic Outlook. This is based on a concept of territorial integrity that reflects Indonesia's national identity and aspirations. It is hoped that the paper can extend the discussion about efforts to make maritime affairs a strategic geopolitical goal along with restoring Indonesia's identity as a maritime nation."

"ABSTRAKPlace names play a vital role in human society. Names exist in all languages and place names are an indispensible part of international communication. This has been acknowledged by the establishment of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). One of UNGEGN?s tasks is to coordinate international efforts on the proper use of place names. Indonesia supports this effort and through its National Geospatial Agency (BIG). Place names are also of interest as an object of study in themselves. Academic studies into place names are found in linguistics, onomastics, philosophy and a number of other academic disciplines. This article looks at these two dimensions of place names, standardization efforts under the auspices of international and national bodies, and academic studies of names, with particular reference to the situation in Indonesia."
