国際ワークショップのお知らせ

来る1月13-14日に慶應義塾大学で、植民地期ミナハサ(北スラウェシ)地方に関する国際ワークショップを開催します。

ミナハサは比較的早くからヨーロッパ人が到来し、オランダ植民地期(1817-1942)には商品作物栽培(コーヒー、ココヤシ)が展開しキリスト教が浸透したことで知られていますが、本ワークショップではこれらに加え、酒の消費、行政改革と現地首長との関係などを、新たな視角から論じ直します。発表者にはこの分野の第一人者であるデイビッド・ヘンリー氏とマリア・J. C. スホウトゥン氏を迎え、彼(女)らとより若い世代との対話を試みます。ディスカッサントにはインド環境史の専門家に加えアジア各地の専門家を招き、アジア史の広い枠組みで問題を検討したいと思っています。

詳細は以下の通りです。通訳はありません。事前登録は必要ありませんが、ご一報頂けましたら発表要旨をお送りします。どうぞ奮ってご参加ください。

International Workshop “Minahasa in History: Reconsideration of the Social Dynamisms during the Colonial Era

Date: 13-14 January 2019

Venue: Keio University Mita Campus, Faculty Building Meeting Room A

Sponsored by the Japan Society for Promotion of Sciences, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), “Agricultural Development of Colonial North Sulawesi and Global History”

Workshop theme:

Minahasa, the northern tip of Sulawesi, is known for the relatively early European presence, and the development of cash-crop cultivation (among them coffee and copra) and the wide penetration of Christianity during the Dutch colonial era (1817-1942). This workshop reconsiders the social dynamisms, which led to and resulted from these agricultural and socio-religious developments, from multiple new angles. The development of cash-crop cultivation is examined as a combination of local pursuit of economic benefit and government-forced road construction. The Christianity penetration is discussed in terms of the changing power structure of the local society. We also discuss alcohol consumption as a result of the penetration of global economy and culture. Dutch administrative reform will be discussed in terms of their changing relationships with local chiefs. Eighteenth-century Minahasa is reexamined as a dynamic prelude of the abovementioned dimensions, emphasizing its sustained economic and demographic growth, and cultural innovation. This workshop, also a dialogue between the authors of the most influential works on colonial Minahasa and scholars in younger generations, discusses these issues in a wider context of colonial Asia, for which reason we invite discussants from experts of different areas in Asia.
