Reflecting the unique experience of fourteen ethnographers in as many different societies, the papers in this volume explore how people in the Austronesian-speaking societies of the Asia-Pacific have traditionally constructed their relationship to land and specific territories. Focused on the nexus of local and global processes, the volume offers fresh perspectives to current debate in social theory on the conflicting human tendencies of mobility and emplacement.</p> </div><div id="details" class="tab-pane fade"><h3 class="d-none d-print-block">Details</h3><dl class="row"><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">ISBN (print): </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">9781920942694</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">ISBN (online): </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">9781920942700</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Publication date: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">Oct 2006</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Imprint: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">ANU Press</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">DOI: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/SEDL.10.2006">http://doi.org/10.22459/SEDL.10.2006</a></dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Series: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="/publications/series/comparative-austronesian">Comparative Austronesian Series</a></dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Disciplines: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="/publications?field=711">Arts & Humanities</a>: <a href="/publications?field=715">Cultural Studies</a>, <a href="/publications?field=717">History</a>, <a href="/publications?field=718">Linguistics</a>; <a href="/publications?field=739">Social Sciences</a>: <a href="/publications?field=741">Anthropology</a></dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Countries: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="/publications?region=800">Pacific</a>; <a href="/publications?region=836">Southeast Asia</a></dd></dl><p></p></div><div id="pdf" class="tab-pane fade"><h3 class="d-none d-print-block">PDF Chapters</h3><p><a href="/publications/series/comparative-austronesian/sharing-earth-dividing-land" class="nounderline">Sharing the Earth, Dividing the Land »</a></p><p>Please read <a href="/faqs/conditions-use">Conditions of use</a> before downloading the formats.</p><div class='divline-solid marginbottom'></div><p>If your web browser doesn't automatically open these files, please download a PDF reader application such as the free <a href='https://acrobat.adobe.com/au/en/products/pdf-reader.html'>Adobe Acrobat Reader</a>.</p><p>To copy a chapter DOI link, right-click (on a PC) or control+click (on a Mac) and then select ‘Copy link location’.</p><ul> <li><a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p63751/pdf/prelims33.pdf">Preliminary Pages (PDF, 180KB)</a></li> <li><a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p63751/pdf/acknowl14.pdf">Acknowledgments (PDF, 59KB)</a></li> </ul> <ol> <li><a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p63751/pdf/ch0136.pdf">Land and Territory in the Austronesian World (PDF, 226KB)</a> – <em>Thomas Reuter</em> <a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/SEDL.10.2006.01" class="doi">doi</a></li> <li><a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p63751/pdf/ch0237.pdf">The Origin Structure of <em>Kute</em> Among the Gumai: An Analysis of an Indigenous Territorial Institution in the Highlands of South Sumatra (PDF, 704KB)</a> – <em>Minako Sakai</em> <a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/SEDL.10.2006.02" class="doi">doi</a></li> <li><a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p63751/pdf/ch0336.pdf">Ritual Domains and Communal Land in the Highlands of Bali (PDF, 463KB)</a> – <em>Thomas Reuter</em> <a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/SEDL.10.2006.03" class="doi">doi</a></li> <li><a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p63751/pdf/ch0436.pdf"><em>Banua</em> or <em>Negara</em>?
