ABSTRAK  Tarian Sumanggak moden telah diolah oleh Suana Kabora berdasarkan pergerakan ritual muinsamung dan monginsamung etnik Tombonuo di daerah Pitas, Sabah pada tahun 1983. Fokus kajian ini tertumpu kepada aspek perubahan, pengolahan dan simbol ragam gerak tarian Sumanggak moden. Bagi mengumpul data kajian, tiga siri kerja lapangan dijalankan di empat buah kampung di daerah Pitas. Kaedah temu bual, pemerhatian, rakaman video dan pengambilan gambar telah digunakan dalam kajian lapangan. Analisis secara interpretasi mendapati asal usul nama tarian Sumanggak diperoleh daripada perbuatan membuka gadur (bekas yang diperbuat daripada tembaga), yang dikenali sebagai adat Sumanggak. Persembahan tarian Sumanggak didapati mengalami perubahan dari zaman mengayau sehinggalah zaman kini. Tarian ini berasal daripada upacara muinsamung, yang dikendalikan semasa rombongan mengayau dalam perjalanan kembali ke kampung. Pada zaman pentadbiran British (akhir kurun ke-19), konsep persembahan tarian Sumanggak berubah kerana upacara muinsamung telah ditukar kepada upacara monginsamung. Oleh itu, aspek-aspek persembahan tarian Sumanggak seperti ragam gerak, kostum, alat muzik, dan prop mengalami perubahan dari segi fungsi dan pengolahan. Setiap ragam gerak didapati mempunyai simbol yang berkait rapat dengan ritual tradisional etnik Tombonuo.   ABSTRACT The modern Sumanggak dance was adapted by Suana Kabora in 1983, based on the movements depicted from the muinsamung and monginsamung rituals of the Tombonuo ethnic group in Pitas district, Sabah. This study focuses on the aspects of the performance, the adaption and the symbols that are portrayed in the dance movements of the modern Sumanggak dance. This study involved three field trips to collect data from four villages in Tombonuo in Pitas district. Among the research methods employed were interviews, observations, video recordings and photography. Based on the interpretation and analysis of the study, it was found that the name of the modern Sumanggak dance originated from the act of opening the gadur (vessel made of bronze), which is known as Sumanggak. The performance context of the Sumanggak dance focused on the head-hunting period to the British administration era until the present time. The Sumanggak dance originated from the muinsamung ritual, which was performed at the time of the arrival of the head-hunting group at their village. During the British administration era (end of the 19th century), the Sumanggak dance had undergone some modifications due to transition from the muinsamung ritual to the monginsamung ritual. The aspect of the dance movements, the costume, the musical instruments and the props had undergone changes in terms of function and adaption. Each symbol of the dance movement has also been found to be closely related to the muinsamung and monginsamung rituals.

Abstract. Many Muslims in the Riau Islands do not know the history of the development of Islamic theory from the center of power to spread to various corners. This is as the existence of the Great Mosque of Raja Haji Abdul Ghani (MBRHAG) on Buru Island, Karimun. Thus, to uncover the existence of this mosque, qualitative research methods are used so that history, architecture, and socio-religious functions can be known. Based on the results of the study it was concluded that the establishment of MBRHAG was initiated by Raja Haji Abdul Ghani. He was the first Amir (sub-district level government) of the kingdom of Riau-Lingga on Buru Island, in the 19th century. The architecture is a Chinese. Therefore, on the right side of this mosque is around 200 m, there is also the Sam Po Teng Temple and the Tri Dharma Dewa Bumi. Thus, the close location of the mosque with Chinese and Confucian worship houses's shows a harmonious relationship between Malay Muslims and Chinese Buddhists. In fact, in the continuation of this relationship there was information that a Chinese Buddhist had joined a Muslim friend to fast for half a month of Ramadan.Keywords: Mosque, Malay Muslims, Chinese Buddhists/Confucians, Harmonious RelationsAbstrak. Umat Islam di Kepulauan Riau banyak yang tidak mengenal sejarah perkembangan ajaran Islam dari pusat kekuasaan hingga tersebar ke berbagai pelosok. Hal ini sebagaimana keberadaan Masjid Besar Raja Haji Abdul Ghani (MBRHAG) di Pulau Buru, Karimun. Dengan demikian, untuk mengungkapkan keberadaan masjid ini digunakan metode penelitian kualitatif  agar dapat diketahui sejarah, arsitektur, dan fungsi sosial keagamaannya.  Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa pendirian MBRHAG diprakarsai oleh Raja Haji Abdul Ghani. Ia adalah Amir (pemerintah setingkat kecamatan) pertama kerajaan Riau-Lingga di Pulau Buru, pada abad ke-19. Adapun arsitekturnya adalah seorang Tionghoa. Karena itu, di sebelah kanan masjid ini sekitar 200 m juga terdapat Kelenteng Sam Po Teng dan cetya Tri Dharma Dewa Bumi. Dengan demikian, dekatnya lokasi masjid dengan rumah ibadah umat Tionghoa dan Khonghucu ini menunjukkan hubungan yang harmonis antara muslim Melayu dengan Budhis Tionghoa. Bahkan, dalam kelangsungan hubungan ini terdapat informasi seorang Buddhis Tionghoa pernah ikut temannya yang beragama muslim untuk berpuasa selama setengah bulan Ramadhan.Kata Kunci: Masjid, Muslim Melayu, Buddhis/Khonghucu Tionghoa, Hubungan Harmonis

The article comes to view the development of Kryashens, which are connected with Udmurts or with the territory of the modern Udmurt Republic, in the last third of the 18th - middle 19th century. The area in question is the Malmyzh and Elabuga counties of Vyaka province and Mamadysh county of Kazan province. The “Udmurt old-christened” ethno-class status of the inhabitants of the settlements of the Srednekushket volost’ of the Malmyzh county, noted by the sources, was to some extent a “tribute to tradition”. In Mamadysh county in 1834 historically associated with the Udmurts Kryashen settlements were located in 3 volosts; the tendency for their assimilation, which was reflected in the middle of the 18th century, was completed here even earlier, in the first third of the 19th century. In Yelabuga county since its formation there was a old-christened small administrative-territorial unit. In the historical settlements of Kryashens, located in our days in the territory of the Udmurt Republic (Grakhov and Kizner districts), their Udmurt origin, with few exceptions, is not traced. The appearance of this sub-ethnic group of Tatars here was mainly due to migration processes from the nearest southern territory. In this period the norm for the Kryashens was shared with other peoples - Tatars, Mari, Udmurts, and later - Russians. The presence of Russians in historical Kryashen villages steadily increased over time. From the late 18th century the Kryashen volosts often included villages with different ethnic-caste identity. From the second quarter of the 19th century the disappearance of the Kryashen small administrative-territorial units began. It was caused, first of all, by transformations of the state in this sphere.

This article traces the genealogy of the figure of the dancer or prostitute from the Ouled-Naïl ethnic group in Algeria from the second half of the 19th century onwards. It assesses the possible responsibility of writer-travellers in the sexual exploitation of these women. By focusing on three great writers of the time (Fromentin, Maupassant and Gide), it aims to measure the appreciation of prostitution in French literary discourse, initially perceived as traditional practice yet which gradually engendered sexual tourism.

We investigate the features of variable names standardization of villages ending with -ova/-ovo, -eva/-evo, -ina/-ino. The relevance of the study is to improve the standardization of geographical names in order to ensure their unified and consistent use. The novelty of the study consists in the use of quantitative research methods towards the toponymy of different time sam-ples covering the last century and a half. As a source of variable and standardized names of villages, the State catalog of geographical names, normative legal acts, reference books of administrative divisions, lists of localities of the Russian Empire, and topographic maps are used. The toponymy of the territories of the modern Moscow, Bryansk, Vologda, Kaluga, Kurgan and Sverdlovsk regions is subjected to quantitative analysis. We establish that in the second half of the 19th century the names of villages ending with -ova, -eva, -ina prevailed in a quantitative sense over the names of villages ending with -ovo, -evo, -ino. Over the next century and a half, the proportion of names ending with -ova, -eva, -ina in all the analyzed regions consistently decreased, while the proportion of names with -ovo, -evo, -ino grew. If currently in some regions the names of villages with -ova, -eva, -ina are practically absent, in others they may still prevail over names with -ovo, -evo, -ino. This fact should be considered when standardizing variable toponyms.

Métif is a language spoken in the Canadian prairie provinces and the American prairie states bordering Canada. There are probably between 3000 and 5000 people who speak Métif as their first language, most of them of advanced age. They are living mostly in scattered Métis settlements. The Métis are a nation of mixed Amerindian and European descent. From the 17th century on French Canadian fur traders and voyageurs travelled west-wards from French Canada. Many of them married Amerindian women, who were often Cree speaking. Around 1860 the Métis were the largest population group of the Canadian West, many of them multilinguals. From the first decades of the 19th century the Métis started to consider themselves as a separate ethnic group, neither European nor Amerindian (see e.g., Peterson and Brown 1985). The Métis are still a distinct people. The Métis nowadays often speak Cree, Ojibwa, Métif, French and English or a combination of these. They often speak particular varieties of these languages. Not only is the French spoken by the Métis markedly different from other North American French dialects the language called Métif is uniquely spoken among the Métis people. For more information on Métif and Métis languages, see the publications listed in Bakker (1989).

Chinese Muslims, known today as the Hui and during the 19th century as Dungans, present a particular problem for a historian. Why should Chinese-speaking believers in Islam constitute a separate ethnic group when believers in other religions of foreign origin (Buddhism and Christianity, for example) do not? Did Chinese Muslims have a common history across China, or has one been created for them because they are now labeled an ethnic minority group (minzou) in the People's Republic of China? Jonathan Lipman begins his history by challenging the whole notion of the “Hui” as an ethnic group, which he argues in his Introduction has been taken as an unproblematic category by both Chinese and Western scholars. Lipman prefers the term “Sino-Muslim” to “Hui” to emphasize the reality that these Muslims are and have been Chinese in culture for centuries and to distinguish them from non–Chinese-speaking Muslim groups in China.

Written in the 19th century, the Kalevala is held as the epic of the Finnish people. Its content was based in the traditional epic songs collected by Elias Lönnrot during eleven field trips through Finland and Karelia. The goal of the present paper is to present the historical background which gave birth to such a work, knowingly, the Romantism-influenced desire to build a Finnish common identity and to symbolically emancipate the country from foreign rulers. We are also going bring into light the processes of collection, textualization and edition took by Lönnrot during the creation of the Kalevala, as well as the models he had in mind while doing so. Finally, we are going to present a possible categorization of this material in regards to gender, also revealing some of its contents which are connected to mythological themes from the vernacular tradition.
