Abstract:
Doka Nikisi’e is a village located in Ngada district which adheres to the matrilineal kinship system. However, even though women holding rights in traditional houses, men also have important roles in the kinship system in the village of Nikisi'e. Therefore, to avoid discrepancy and insurgency, it’s necessary to have a good gender relation in both case. For DokaNikisi’e people, even though the matrilineal kinship system greatly glorifies women, they still consider that this’s not to give women an absolute power, but solely for the sake of harmony between both side.The matrilineal kinship system

Matrilinial is one of the oldest kinship systems found in Indonesia, and the world. This system adheres to kinship systems and inheritance systems from the maternal lineage. in the matrilinial kinship system, women have a special place and play a significant role in their community compared to women who adhere to the patrilinieal system. In the matrilineal kinship system, men and women have their respective obligations and responsibilities according to their gender. In this case they have a balanced position, namely men occupying positions as supervisors and protectors who are given an honorab

Abstract:
Matrilineal kinship organization is a human social system that emphasizes interactions between matrilineal kin, i.e. individuals related only through females. The ‘matrilineal puzzle’ refers to the potential for tension characteristic of this social system, owing to the conflict between the interests and responsibilities of men in their roles as brother/uncle versus husband/father. From an evolutionary perspective, matrilineal kinship organization is puzzling when it diverts investment of resources from the individuals who provide the potentially highest reproductive returns.

Abstract:
For a period, it was argued by analysts that as society develops wider kin relations are weakened, while ties within a nuclear family are strengthened. In the case of matrilineal kinship systems, it was argued that economic change, which involves movement towards a capitalist economy, weakens the matrilineal descent group and transforms it. Recently, analysts in the field of family and kinship argue that despite economic and demographic changes, kinship continues to be important in providing a support network.

The Minangkabau of West Sumatra have been much written about. Yet there is little in the literature about the Minangkabau women. This thesis explores the position and concerns of the Minangkabau women. A central argument in this thesis is that the Minangkabau village society is matrifocal. To achieve coherence in our understanding, Minangkabau social organisation has to be conceptualised as predicated on the exchange of men among groups of women. This perspective on Minangkabau social organisation is made manifest on ceremonial occasions. As such, this thesis focuses on women’s exchange

Abstract:
Abstract Previous reviews of the impact of maternal kinship on primate behavior (Gouzoules 1984, Gouzoules & Gouzoules 1987, Walters 1987, Bernstein 1991, but see Silk 2001) have focused on a limited number of the cercopithecine taxa (i.e., macaques, baboons, and vervets) even though it is generally recognized that the female philopatric “cercopithecine model” is representative of only one phylogenetic branch of the primate order as a whole (Gouzoules & Gouzoules 1987, Strier 1994). This situation has arisen due to the excellent observational conditions for many cercopithecine species culminating in numerous long-term studies of kinship. In contrast, most noncercopithecine primates are generally much more difficult to study due to difficult terrain and/or poor visibility. As a result, relatively few researchers endeavored to take on the challenge of specifically identifying and following individuals longitudinally within social groups of these understudied species until the last decade or so. Hence, our overall knowledge regarding the impact of maternal kinship on primates is biased and limited. However, recent mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype testing on wild ape groups has given us the opportunity to test some assumptions regarding the impact of maternal kinship on behavior in some male philopatric primate groups (e.g., bonobos and chimpanzees). Additionally, in the last decade, researchers have begun to explore maternal kinship relationships among female philopatric platyrrhine species previously unstudied due to the paucity of habituated social groups (e.g., Cebus).

Abstract:
What is the position of women in Khasi society? Does the institution of matrilineal kinship offer women any advantages? We pose these questions in relation to the controversial Lineage Amendment Bill (LAB), 2018, passed by the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council, holding that women that marry non-Khasis will lose their rights and full membership in the community. The bill has been heavily criticized, especially by younger women who assert their right to freely choose whom to marry. Those in favour of the bill present it as a defence of indigenous lands, yet, as we suggest, it has more to do with resource extraction. In this chapter, we point to how matrilineal descent, land ownership, environmental stewardship, and indigenous sovereignty are intertwined. As we suggest, through the refusal to partake in mining, indigenous sovereignty becomes something quite different from the dominant ethno-nationalist assertion where self-determination has been reduced to the right to freely exploit the natural resources of the claimed homeland. Matriliny is a critical feature of this alternative imaginary, building on ongoing relations to and care for the ancestral lands passed on by generations of women.

Abstract Most primates live in some form of social group. These groups range from the relatively simple social organizations of some prosirnian species in which individuals forage alone but then congregate to sleep, to the monogamous pairings of the several species of lesser ape, to the complex societies of many macaque species dominated by matrilineal kinship groupings, to the fission-fusion societies of chimpanzees in which there is a constant flux of smaller groupings within an overall community structure (Smuts et al., 1987). Each of these forms of social life, as well as those of many other animal species, creates difficult cognitive problems that individual primates must learn to deal with adequately if they are to survive and procreate.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the absent presence of Katherine Mansfield in Elizabeth Bowen’s personal and fictional writing to demonstrate how loss, desire and mourning might constitute a particularly female mode of literary influence. It explores Bowen’s ambivalent perceptions of Mansfield as a literary influence throughout her career, on the one hand protesting against her influence and defending her own originality, and on the other recognising her innovation and mourning her as a ‘lost contemporary’. Gildersleeve argues that the literary relationship between Bowen and Mansfield eludes both the Bloomian model of destroying the predecessor and the model of matrilineal heritage preferred by feminist literary critics. Instead, influence between Mansfield and Bowen registers as a ‘desire for kinship, and resentment that this bond does not exist’.

The final chapter looks more closely at the islands’ people: their matrilineal kinship systems, age systems, associated rituals and powerful forces for social cohesion. It surveys their material culture, clothing, music and food, and explores the different types of social and ethnic identities that Comorians might invoke, particularly the hierarchies that continue to distinguish the noble born, those of Arab ancestry, and the descendants of slaves, the African, particularly on Ndzuani. On Mayotte, now firmly part of France, different identities are at play. The importance of the Comorian diaspora is explained, whether in Zanzibar, Madagascar or in France, and their contribution, particularly in terms of remittances, to local economic development. This chapter ends with some reflections on the future of the archipelago – both the independent state and French Mayotte.

Abstract:
Euro-Africans along the Gold Coast figure as a somewhat obscure minority in contemporary European literature. Perhaps this can be attributed to the kinship system of the coastal Akan that dominated the structure of Gold Coast society and accounted for the integration of Euro-Africans into the local lineages. In Akan culture, children belonged to the abusua or matrilineal family of their mothers, either as free members or as slaves. A different recruiting mechanism was also in operation in the other fundamental institution of the southern Akan polities, the asafo companies. Elmina boys were recruited by their father's asafo, and as a rule, male Euro-Africans had to do without the patrilineal affiliation to these prestigious power associations. The dearth of these ties encouraged a certain minority of Euro-Africans to initiate their own ‘company’, which might be considered a kernel in the development towards a Euro-African identity.

Abstract:
Abstract The dominant forms of knowledge that emerged in the nineteenth century through literacy and writing eluded the experiential reality of frontier societies. This chapter turns towards the embodied and situated experiences of frontier hill inhabitants by exploring their relationship to landscape, environment, and the changing spatiality of new jurisdictional boundaries, lines of communication, enhanced economic mobility, and politico-social architecture. The chapter demonstrates the importance of partial and complex conceptions of the past that defy notions of homogeneity of identity, and authenticity of narratives of self, community, and belonging in the hills. By examining oral histories and oral traditions this chapter centres the non-hegemonic notions of space and place found in the Khasi and Jaintia hills. This chapter begins with a discussion of landscape and memory as intersubjective elements of place-making through megalithic record-keeping, sacred ecologies, folktales, and legends. The chapter then turns to matrilineal organization and customary kinship-based geography and multiple possibilities of non-hegemonic articulations of space therein. The chapter also demonstrates the relationship between law, alternative geographies, and places.
