The Javanese Language in Relation to the Newly Legalized Law
The Javanese Language in Relation to the Newly Legalized Indonesian Law of Pornography Endang S. Soemartono and Pininto Sarwendah Javanese language often uses sensual and sexuality in conversation and written text. This can be seen from the Javanese oral and written expressions used in daily conversation, songs, traditional plays and dances. To express endearment and something very pleasant and enjoyable the words are connected with sensual organs especially the genital organs and other sensual organs. For example we call a son lovingly with tole /toule/ shortened from the word kontole /k nt le/- a male genital organ, and a daughter/ with wuk /wu?/ from bawuk /bawu?/or gawuk /gawu?/ - a female genital organ. We use similar words for food such as peli gudigen /pəli: gu:digən/ and turuk bintul /turu? bi:ntul/ expressed metaphorically from the shape of the organ or the appearance of the food. Other metaphors in form or movement used in songs, dances, and traditional play are often used for example wulu /wu:lu:/ - for ‘feather’ for ‘fur’, buntut - for ‘tail’ ‘ser ser’ for feeling engkol and dongkrak – for instruments, menthek /məntək/ - plump in a nice way, kebayak Meduro sing ketok pusere lan kurang bakal ben gampang oncek-oncekane – a Madurese kebaya or blouse the stomach of which is seen and not sufficiently made not because of not having sufficient material but it is tailored in order it can be easily opened. The planned bill and law of pornography was influenced by a certain Puritanism group, however, the attitude of the Indonesian societies to sensuality and sexuality was quite open for sensual and sexual activities were considered normal and natural. -
Cross-Gender Attempts by Indonesian Female Impersonator Dancer Didik Nini Thowok
Cross-Gender Attempts by Indonesian Female Impersonator Dancer Didik Nini Thowok Madoka Fukuoka Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, Japan [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the creative stages of Didik Nini Thowok (1954‒), a female impersonator and cross-gender dancer based in Java, Indonesia. In addition, it discusses his endeavours of crossing gender boundaries by focusing on his use of costumes and masks, and analysing two significant works: Dwimuka Jepindo as an example of comedic cross-gender expression and Dewi Sarak Jodag as an example of serious cross-gender expression. The findings indicate three overall approaches to crossing gender boundaries: (1) surpassing femininity naturally expressed by female dancers; (2) mastering and presenting female characters by female impersonators and cross-gender dancers; and (3) breaking down the framework of gender itself. Keywords: Didik Nini Thowok, cross-gender, dance, Java, Indonesia © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2014 58 Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse. Jil./Vol.13. 2014 INTRODUCTION This article examines the creative stages of Didik Nini Thowok (1954‒), a female impersonator and cross-gender dancer based in Java, Indonesia.1 In addition, it discusses his endeavours of crossing gender boundaries by focusing on the human body's role and Didik's concept of cross-gender dance, which he has advocated since his intensive study of the subject in 2000. For the female impersonator dancer, the term "cross-gender" represents males who primarily perform female roles and explore the expression of stereotypical femininity. Through his artistic activity and unique approach, Didik has continued to express various types of femininity to deviate from stereotypical gender imagery. -

Adapun cita-cita menulis buku ini, telah lama kami canangkan, sekitar tahun 2005 yang lalu. Namun karena sulitnya mengumpulkan materi-materi yang akan diajangkau, yakni begitu ekstensif dan luasnya bahan yang mesti dicapai, juga materi yang dikaji di bidang kesenian meliputi seni-seni: musik, tari, teater baik yang tradisional. Sementara latar belakang keilmuan kami pun, baik di strata satu dan dua, umumnya adalah terkonsentasi di bidang etnomusikologi dan kajian seni pertunjukan yang juga dengan minat utama musik etnik. Hanya seorang saja yang berlatar belakang akademik antropologi tari. Selain itu, tim kami ini ada dua orang yang berlatar belakang pendidikan strata dua antropologi dan sosiologi.

Language, music, culture, dance, spiritual dimensions, and complex stories needed to be absorbed and became building blocks toward performing this rich art of the Sundanese dalang of West Java.

At twenty-three I encountered Sundanese wayang golek, a rod puppet genre of West Java through a summer program financed by a California philanthropist, Samuel Scripps. Enamored of South and Southeast Asian arts, Scripps funded Center for World Music, a summer school program where major Asian artists taught each class. Dalang Rutjita was a village-based carving master from West Java in Indonesia who dazzled us, his five students, with the lifelike dance of his carefully carved figures. He spoke no English, and just a bit of Dutch. Luckily there was a Dutch student s (Klara Braekel) who was fluent in Indonesian and she translated as we worked that summer of l974, scene by scene, through a single lakon (play). We tried to make out puppets emulate the walks specific to each character type (refined, semi-refined, strong, demon). -

The complex, dynamic, and eclectic nature of the Indonesian cultures are based on the ethnics that have settled in Indonesia for some centuries and the foreign cultures of India, Arab, Dutch, China and others. The synthesis of these mixed cultures has caused the people of Nusantara then, now Indonesia, have a certain perception on a reality of life.

Finally, it is to institute an educational program in all levels such as teaching a cultural overview and a correct teaching method to present a teaching material using the Nusantara thought, local wisdom, and multiculturalism. This is a critical step to take as globalization has been fast in the ϔield of education, science, and technology.

Whereas in most societies musi- cal genres are in the first place classified by social criteria, it is undeniable that also the technicalities of the music play a role: audiences hear the differences between, for instance, jaipongan and degung kawih perfor- mances. This is because these musics are produced in different ways, using different instruments, tone material, musical structure, etc. Alfred Gell made an important contribution to the anthropological study of art by pointing out that the production of art is a technological process. He mentions that there are ‘beautiful’ things, like beautiful women, beautiful horses and a beautiful sunset. However, art objects are made ‘beautiful’ by human beings and this requires technology. He criti- cizes sociologists like Pierre Bourdieu, who do not really look at an art object as a concrete product of human ingenuity, but only elaborately look at the represented symbolic meanings (Gell 1999:162). In contrast, Gell proposes that anthropologists should look at art as a ‘component of technology.’ We call something an object of art if it is the outcome of a technological process, the kind of processes in which artists are skilled.
