| Summary/Abstract |
The paper explores how creole categories of people who have constituted a small but influential minority in Guinea-Bissau for centuries contributed to a countrywide, integrated national culture since the eve of independence in 1974. Since independence, several cultural representations previously exclusive to creole communities have been - driven by the nationalist independence movement and the early postcolonial state - transformed into representations of a new national culture, crossing ethnic and religious boundaries. The fact that creole identity and culture had been transethnic - i.e. creole identity brings together individuals of heterogeneous cultural, ethnic and geographic descent - during the colonial period, has fostered in postcolonial times the countrywide spread of previously exclusively creole cultural features. I argue that this 'transethnicisation' of creole cultural representations has unified Bissau-Guineans across ethnic lines, causing a strong commitment with their nation 'from below'.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Chinese in Indonesia suffered considerable discrimination particularly during Suharto's rule (1967-1998). They were considered a foreign threat that needed to be kept under state control. Since the end of Suharto's regime and as a result of liberalisasi, demokratisasi and desentralisasi a revival of Chinese identity has set in, initiating a public discourse on the compatability of Chinese and Indonesian identity. This discourse refers to different categories of identification which are connected with specific conceptualizations concerning the interrelatedness of indigeneity, ethnicity and nationalism in Indonesia and Jakarta in particular.
1This paper is based on the analysis of the relevant literature concerning its theme and of the data gathered during field research in Jakarta between 2000 and 2002 and during shorter stays thereafter. Most responses and statements by informants quoted in this paper have been translated from Indonesian to English. In some cases, conversations and interviews took place in different languages besides Indonesian, namely in English, German and/or Dutch, because informants wanted to practise their foreign language knowledge.

| Summary/Abstract |
Matters concerning Tibetan sovereignty, self-determination and political representation continue to be mired in intractable controversy as the People’s Republic of China and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile remain diametrically opposed on virtually all issues concerning Tibet’s political status, history and how it ought to be represented. Beyond these two dominant narratives, the relevant literature has paid scant attention to the other actors in this dispute, namely Tibetan people living throughout China. This article investigates identity constructions among Tibetan netizens in China through the use of forums, blogs and video postings. These flourishing new platforms for voicing and constructing alternative identity narratives provide a valuable and yet largely unexplored resource for examining how Tibetans in China construct self-representations in a time of increased interconnectivity, migration and cultural flux. By exploring the very lively and thriving participation of Tibetans in the Sino-blogosphere, this article showcases the highly diverse and creative processes of identity construction among Tibetan netizens based in China, and the myriad of ways in which Tibetans connect and disconnect online.
