This study departs from a theory of ‘Brokers as Assembler’ which locates brokers as the harmonizers of various orientations of actors in two different social realities, namely disadvantaged populations and power holders in one development practice. Drawing from the role of brokers in the ‘creation’ of tourism village development through social forestry permits, this study offers analysis of brokers beyond their role in carrying out the development; but also in the process of its creation. The development planning, until the development process becomes a productive path that can create benefits for every actor involved. This study was conducted using an ethnographic design and a political ecology approach. The findings of this study suggest that the work of intermediary actors can not only be seen as intermediaries for the vertical relationship between communities holding power and disadvantaged communities. However, brokers also construct horizontal relationships among groups of people in the same social reality to gain access to resources. Thus, studies on intermediary actors must be seen more broadly than their role in agency, transformation, and mediation in the actualization of development.

The aim of this study is to examine the mental well-being of young remote workers in Malang City through social interactions, expectations, and self worth. As an evolving work system in Indonesia, remote work still presents challenges, both in terms of technology and social dynamics. Young employees who are in the career development stage at the age of 23-29 are often caught up in trying to achieve high productivity and maximum happiness, which sometimes triggers burnout. Through an anthropological approach with qualitative methods, this research utilises semi-structured interviews by highlighting remote employee perspectives on mental well-being and considering the values and experiences of work culture in a virtual work environment. The different experiences and definitions of well-being for young remote employees depend on their individual perspectives, backgrounds and working conditions, making the results of this study subjective. The results show that the mental well-being of remote workers cannot be separated from the Javanese social and cultural context that emphasises collective happiness. On that basis, this research is expected to contribute to the development of subjective well-being studies in the field of anthropology.

Artikel ini membahas kritik yang berpotensi dikemukakan oleh Antropologi atas hakikat Sosiobiologi yang simplistik. Dengan mencuplik aneka ragam etnografi dari berbagai belahan dunia, penulis mengkaji berbagai pendekatan dan alasan dalam praktik poliandri, yang menurut Sosiobiologi semata-mata disebabkan oleh 'gen egois'. Penulis berargumen bahwa terlepas dari dorongan alamiah biologis untuk memastikan keberlangsungan gen, terdapat beragam faktor lainnya yang mendasari poliandri. Selagi menunjukkan bahaya pendekatan naturalisasi ilmu sosial untuk mengkaji poliandri, di saat bersamaan penulis juga skeptis dengan interpretivisme, karena keduanya berisiko menghasilkan reduksionisme. Penulis menawarkan semacam pendekatan materialis-historis dalam memahami fenomena poliandri serta menunjukkan bagaimana metode etnografi sebagai warisan disiplin ilmu Antropologi yang paling tersohor, cermat dan mendetail, memiliki sumbangan besar dalam upaya memahami masyarakat manusia yang kompleks. Kata kunci: Antropologi, Sosiobiologi, Poliandri, Darwinisme
