| Research Abstract |
The eastern half or insular Southeast Asia extending from the Wallace Line is called the Wallacea, which consists of the Celebes Sea, the Makassar Strait, the Maluku Sea and the Flores Sea. In this maritime world, people have maintained their livelihood depending on the ecological basis provided by the sea and established socio-cultural tradition which can be defined as network society. This research project aimed at clarifying the characteristics of such society by focusing migration and trading networks among the people in the Wallacea
The joint research was conducted in the areas around the Celebes Sea and the Makassar Strait in F.Y.1995, the Maluku Sea-and the Flores Sea in F.Y.1996, and the Celebes Sea, the Flores Sea and Makassar Strait in F.Y.1997.
Through this research, various first-hand materials were obtained, firstly, for investigating the present situation and the historical process of migration among the Bugis, the Sama and the Sangihe peoples. They includematerials for investigation social and individual history of the migration and trading network of the Bugis people who have established a wide ethnic distribution all over the Wallacea, for estimating the distribution of the Sama people from their languages and oral-histories, and for reconstructing the history of Sangihe migration and settlement. Secondly, from the fieldworks conducted in the border areas between Malaysia and Indonesia as well as between the Philippines and Indonesia, useful materials were obtained for reconsidering the significance of network society in theframe of nation state, particularly, from the view points of ethno-history, social history and comparative educational science. Analyzing these materials and compiling the research findings and results, we will publish the final report in English in F.Y.1998
