POSTCOLONIALITY IN ERWIN CLARKSON GARRET’S THE DYAK CHIEF BALLAD

The Humanities in the Face of Postcoloniality

As the title of my intervention, I have chosen “The Humanities in the Face of Postcoloniality.” You will notice in due course that I could also have chosen “The Humanities in the Face of the Other,” or “The Humanities in the Face of the Subaltern,” or “The Humanities in the Face of the Masses.” But I could also have chosen what apparently would seem like the opposite title: “The Humanities Faci...

The "Pallang"; a Dyak Curio

. 1 he following" notes are on a subject which ls perhaps of anthropological rather than of Medical interest. Yet they may interest readers 0f the Indian Medical Gazette, and it would be 'foresting to know whether any similar custom Prevails among any of the aboriginal tribes of -fodia. The " pallang," illustrated in fig1, and shewn as worn by all male Dyaks in }S2, was given to the writer by a...

We introduce a class of singular partial differential equations, the second-order hyperbolic Fuchsian systems, and we investigate the associated initial value problem when data are imposed on the singularity. First of all, we analyze a class of equations in which hyperbolicity is not assumed and we construct asymptotic solutions of arbitrary order. Second, for the proposed class of second-order...

We prove that the space-time developments of generic solutions of the vacuum constraint Einstein equations do not possess any global or local Killing vectors, when Cauchy data are prescribed on an asymptotically flat Cauchy surface, or on a compact Cauchy surface with mean curvature close to a constant, or for CMC asymptotically hyperbolic initial data sets. More generally, we show that non-exi...
