インサナの政治構造

[@nordholt-75] のインサナの部分を [@hagerdal-lords_of_the_land]をまとめた [p.56]。

Schulte-Nordholt はインサナに、 外界とのコンタクト以前のオリジナルな政治構造が 残っていると考えていた。

コンタクト以前

These four components then formed the two halves of the realm. Finally, in the centre of the princedom, between these two halves, lay the sonaf, the ruler's residence. It was quite in accordance with his ascribed role that he was known as atupas, he who sleeps'. At his side he had an executive palace chief, known as _kolnel_,colonel', yet another Portuguese concept. Moreover, four lords or usif, one per quarter, also assited the princely centre of the ruler. The usif originally lived at the centre, as can be seen by the placement of their sacrificial poles (tola ana). These items, essential to the rituals, were placed around the large sacrificial pole of the ruler. Clark Cunningham has pointed out that the lordship of Insana `united clans in a territory but should not supersed their interests, and compensation between local lineages, not fines to the lord, resolved disputes' (Cunningham 1965: 375).

コンタクト以降

After the implementation of colonial rule in the early twentieth century, much was changed in the princedom. The usif became district heads or fettor at the expense of amaf naek. Meanwhile, the old kolnel lineage was ousted from power while a new powerful lineage, Taolin, became officially appointed rajas; the old atupas line faded into relative obscurity. It is evident that the Dutch of the late colonila peirod preferred a bureacratic strucutre, and a raja with executive powers (H. G. Schulte-Noldholt 1971: 189, 212, 227--9).
