This research is a study about knowledge interface that aims to analyse knowledge discontinuities, the dynamic and emergent characters of struggles and interactions within gender system and ethnicity differences. The cacao boom phenomenon in Central Sulawesi is the main context for a changing of social relations of production, especially when the mode of production has shifted or is still underway from subsistence to petty commodity production. This agrarian change is not only about a change of relationship and practice, but, as my previous research has shown, also about the shift of knowledge domination, because knowledge construes social practice in a dialectical process. Agroecological knowledge is accumulated through interaction, practice and experience. At the same time the knowledge gained from new practices and experiences changes mode of interaction, so such processes provide the arena where an interface of knowledge is manifested. In the process of agro-ecological knowledge interface, gender and ethnic group interactions materialise in the decision-making of production and resource allocation at the household and community level. At this point, power/knowledge is interplayed to gain authority in decision-making. When authority dominates, power encounters resistance, whereas the dominant power and its resistance are aimed to ensure socio-economic security. Eventually, the process of struggle can be identified through the pattern of resource utilisation as a realisation of production decision-making. Such processes are varied from one community to another, and therefore, it shows uniqueness and commonalities, especially when it is placed in a context of shifting mode of production. The focus is placed on actors: men and women in their institutional and cultural setting, including the role of development agents. The inquiry is informed by 4 major questions: 1) How do women and men acquire, disseminate, and utilise their agro ecological knowledge, specifically in rice farming as a subsistence commodity, as well as in cacao farming as a petty commodity? How and why do such mechanisms construct different knowledge domains between two genders? How does the knowledge mechanism apply in different ethnics? What are the implications for gender and ethnicity based relation of production? ; 2) Using the concept of valued knowledge in a shifting mode of production context: is there any knowledge that dominates others? How does the process of domination occur and why? Is there any form of struggle, strategies, negotiation, and compromise over this domination? How do these processes take place at a household as well as community level? How does it relate to production decision-making? ; 3) Putting the previous questions in two communities with a different point of arrival on a path of agricultural commercialisation, how do the processes of struggle vary? What are the bases of the commonalities and peculiarities in both communities?; 4) How the decisions of production affect rice field - cacao plantation - forest utilisation in the two villages? How does that triangle of resource use reflect the constellation of local knowledge in those two communities? What is the implication of this knowledge constellation for the cacao-rice-forest agroecosystem in the forest margin area? Employing a qualitative approach as the main method of inquiry, indepth and dialogic interviews, participant observer role, and document review are used to gather information. A small survey and children’s writing competition are supplementary to this data collection method. The later two methods are aimed to give wider information on household decision making and perception toward the forest. It was found that local knowledge, particularly knowledge pertaining to rice-forest-cacao agroecology is divided according to gender and ethnicity. This constellation places a process of decision-making as ‘the arena of interface’ between feminine and masculine knowledge, as well as between dominant and less dominant ethnic groups. Transition from subsistence to a commercial mode of production is a context that frames a process where knowledge about cacao commodity is valued higher than rice. Market mechanism, as an external power, defines valued knowledge. Valued knowledge defines the dominant knowledge holder, and decision. Therefore, cacao cultivation becomes a dominant practice. Its existence sacrifices the presence of rice field and the forest. Knowledge about rice production and forest ecosystem exist, but is less valued. So it is unable to challenge the domination of cacao. Various forms of struggles - within gender an ethnicity context - to resist cacao domination are an expression of unequal knowledge possession. Knowledge inequality implies to unequal access to withdraw benefit from market valued crop. When unequal knowledge fails to construct a negotiated field or struggles fail to reveal ‘marginal’ decision, e.g. intensification instead of cacao expansion to the forest, interface only produces divergence. Gender and ethnicity divided knowledge is unabridged, since negotiation is unable to produce new knowledge that accommodates both interests. Rice is loaded by ecological interest to conserve the forest, while cacao is driven by economic interest to increase welfare status. The implication of this unmediated dominant knowledge of cacao production is the construction of access; access to the forest, mainly to withdraw its economic benefit by eliminating its ecological benefit. Then, access to cacao as the social relationship of production to acquire cacao knowledge; lastly, access to defend sustainable benefit from cacao by expansion. ‘Socio-economic Security’ is defined by Access. The convergence of rice and cacao knowledge, however, should be made possible across gender and ethnicity, not only for the sake of forest conservation as the insurance of ecological security, but also for community’s socio-economic security. The convergence might be found in a range of alternative ways to conduct cacao sustainable production, from agroforestry system to intensification.

Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht die Frage, ob bei psychogenen Störungen Geschwistererfahrungen klinische Relevanz haben und ob die erfahrene Geschwisterposition und –konstellation auch im Erwachsenenalter psychodynamisch wirksam ist. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Teile. Im ersten Teil werden in einem metatheoretischen Vorgehen psychoanalytische Konzepte, psychoanalytische Entwicklungstheorien aus der Objekt- und Selbstpsychologie und empirische Forschungsergebnisse zur Geschwisterbeziehung vorgestellt. Darauf aufbauend werden Annahmen formuliert, welche psychodynamischen Konflikte sich in einer pathologischen Entwicklung als psychische Störungen im Erwachsenenalter manifestieren können.Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden acht Einzelfälle psychoanalytischer Behandlungen von erwachsenen Patienten unterschiedlicher Geschwisterpositionen und -konstellationen dargestellt, die die in Teil 1 beschriebenen pathogenen Geschwistereinflüsse illustrieren. In den untersuchten Einzelfällen ist die erfahrene Geschwisterposition der Patienten konfliktbesetzt und psychodynamisch wirksam gewesen. Dabei haben die Erfahrungen mit den primären Objekten die Basis für die pathologische Beziehungsdynamik der Geschwister gebildet. Den dritten extra-klinisch empirischen Teil der Arbeit stellt eine explorative Pilotstudie dar, die ebenfalls das Ziel verfolgt, persistierende Geschwisterkonflikte in ihren langandauernden Effekten zu explorieren. Es handelt sich um eine Dokumentenanalyse von 215 Patientenakten aus einer psychosomatischen Klinik. Aus den Akten werden als Variablen ICD - und OPD - Diagnosen als auch inhaltsanalytisch ermittelte psychodynamische Konflikte herausgefiltert und mit den Variablen Geschwisterposition und –konstellation korreliert. Dabei wird erstens der Frage nachgegangen, ob es in den Akten von psychisch erkrankten Patienten zwischen Einzel- und Geschwisterkindern Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Diagnosen und hinsichtlich der formulierten psychodynamischen Konflikte gibt. Zweitens geht es um eine weitergehende Exploration dieser Variablen in Bezug auf die erfahrene Geschwisterposition bzw. –konstellation. Es zeigt sich, dass die ICD-10 Diagnostik aufgrund ihres deskriptiven Charakters und ihrer psychiatrischen Orientierung wenig brauchbar ist, diesbezügliche Hypothesen zu formulieren. Im Unterschied zur ICD-10 ergibt sich in Bezug auf die OPD-Diagnostik, besonders aber in Hinsicht auf die psychodynamischen Konflikte ein differenzierteres Bild. So sind z.B. Parentifizierung am häufigsten von Einzelkindern und Erstgeborenen benannt worden. Gleichzeitig berichten Patienten, die mit Geschwistern aufgewachsen sind, am stärksten von erlebtem emotionalem Mangel in der Familie. Unter Dominanzkonflikten leiden die Patienten am meisten, die als jüngstes Kind aufgewachsen sind. Bei Patienten mit der jüngsten und mittleren Geschwisterposition ist als weiteres Beispiel auffallend oft Altruismus ermittelt worden. Fazit der Arbeit ist, dass ungelöste Geschwisterkonflikte langandauernde Effekte haben können und dass - im Gegensatz zur Birth-Order-Forschung - die Variable der Geschwisterposition unter Berücksichtigung geschlechtsspezifischer Aspekte als ein intra- und interpsychisches dynamisches Geschehen begriffen werden kann.
