| Research Abstract |
Since the 1960s, many countries of Southeast Asia have undergone rapid and drastic changes under developmentalistic regimes. Many studies have been carried out about these changes, but peripheral worlds in these countries, exposed to developmental policies since the 1970s, have relatively been neglected in these academic endeavors. The present research project tried to ameliorate this void. In particular, the project aimed to understand changes in three types of peripheral worlds, namely, minority, border space, and gender, in three Southeast Asia countries of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines which had for a long time been under strong development-oriented political leadership.
Research activities of the project included overseas fieldwork, library research, and once-a-year seminar. The overall compilation of research results led to the printing of a voluminous research report. The research report consists of four sections. In the first section "Overview of Developmental Processes in Island Southeast Asia," developmental policies pertaining to minority, border space, and gender are reviewed historically for the three countries in question and relevant documents on the topics are compiled. In the second section "Minority," changes experienced by forest dwellers of Sumatra, orang asli of Peninsular Malaysia, and mountain people of Luzon are discussed. In the third section "Border Space," shifting regional identity of cultural border area in Riau, Islamization of peripatetic sea people of Sabah, and changing religious affiliation of refugees in Mindanao are examined. In the fourth section "Gender," fluctuating images of woman and family in Indonesian discourses, hospitalization of birth deliveries in rural Malaysia, and politico-social implications of increasing overseas female migrants from Mindanao are investigated.
