This paper examines the indigenous images of women as they are symbolized and idealized in Minahasan traditions with the aim of re-imagining them as 'active socio-cultural agents' in the context of Minahasan cultural values, ideas and expectations. The primary sources used in the discussion are Minahasan narrative traditions and adat (customary laws) regarding kinship system, marriage, divorce and property. In so doing, it primarily deals with the symbolized and idealized values and expectations of womanhood, rather than lived experiences of Minahasan women, the ways in which socio-cultural patterns of their lives are generated in a certain context, or their socio-cultural images in the context of cultural hybridization. This paper argues that although the position of Minahasa women was never equal to that of men, the indigenous sources (narrative traditions and adat) point to their complementary role, and show not only their independence but also their importance as mediators, facilitators and coordinators. In other words, indigenous materials clearly provide us with a glimpse into the indigenous accounts of women as ‘active socio-cultural agents’ in the context of Minahasan cultural values, ideas and expectations. It is a countervailing evidence contesting the notion of women as ‘passive socio-cultural receivers’ in the shadow of cultural values and expectations. This paper is expected to be a significant contributor to comprehension of, in detail, the indigenous images of women in such marginalized Indonesian regions as Minahasa. In this regard, it is also expected to add a significant ethnographic case to Southeast Asian Studies on the indigenous images of women.

Abstract

This paper examines the indigenous images of women as they are symbolized and idealized in Minahasan traditions with the aim of re-imagining them as 'active socio-cultural agents' in the context of Minahasan cultural values, ideas and expectations. The primary sources used in the discussion are Minahasan narrative traditions and adat (customary laws) regarding kinship system, marriage, divorce and property. In so doing, it primarily deals with the symbolized and idealized values and expectations of womanhood, rather than lived experiences of Minahasan women, the ways in which socio-cultural patterns of their lives are generated in a certain context, or their socio-cultural images in the context of cultural hybridization. This paper argues that although the position of Minahasa women was never equal to that of men, the indigenous sources (narrative traditions and adat) point to their complementary role, and show not only their independence but also their importance as mediators, facilitators and coordinators. In other words, indigenous materials clearly provide us with a glimpse into the indigenous accounts of women as ‘active socio-cultural agents’ in the context of Minahasan cultural values, ideas and expectations. It is a countervailing evidence contesting the notion of women as ‘passive socio-cultural receivers’ in the shadow of cultural values and expectations. This paper is expected to be a significant contributor to comprehension of, in detail, the indigenous images of women in such marginalized Indonesian regions as Minahasa. In this regard, it is also expected to add a significant ethnographic case to Southeast Asian Studies on the indigenous images of women.
