  • Asia Society Presents Music and Dance of Yogyakarta
    Asia Society Presents Music and Dance of Yogyakarta Sunday, November 11, 2018 7:00 P.M. Asia Society 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street New York City This program is approximately ninety minutes with no intermission In conjunction with a visit from Hamengkubuwono X, the Sultan of Yogyakarta in Indonesia, Asia Society hosts a performance by the court dancers and musicians of Yogyakarta. The Palace of Karaton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat is the cultural heart of the city. From generation to generation, the Sultans of Yogyakarta are the traditional governors of the city and responsible for passing on art and culture heritage. The entire royal family is involved in preserving these art forms, and the troupe must perform with a member of the royal family present. The dances from Yogyakarta will be accompanied by gamelan music native to Java. Program Golek Menak Umarmaya Umarmadi Dance Masked Dance Fragment (Wayang Wong) “Klana Sewandana Gandrung” Bedhaya Sang Amurwabhumi About the forms: Golek Menak The golek menak is a contemporary example of the seminal influence exerted by the puppet theater on other Javanese performing arts. This dance was inspired by the stick–puppet theater (wayang golek), popular in the rural area of Yogyakarta. Using the three dimensional rod-puppets, it portrays episodes from a series of stories known as menak. Unlike the high-art wayang kulit (shadow puppets), it is a village entertainment, and it did not flourish at the court. As a dance drama, golek menak focuses on imitating this rod-puppet theater with amazing faithfulness. Human dancers realistically imitate the smallest details of puppet movement, right down to the stylized breathing of the puppets.

A prolific author, Pramoedya has written short fiction, novels, histories, and social and cultural commentary about his native land. He is frequently mentioned as a leading candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Pramoedya’s perennial candidacy for this award is almost certainly based on his epic tetralogy about the birth of Indonesian nationalism, the Buru quartet. In these novels, which tell the story of Raden Mas Minke, a native journalist and founding member of several political and social organizations in the Indies, Pramoedya draws a vivid picture of the colonial period: approximately 1900-1915.

  • Pramoedya Ananta Toer (1953)
    Pramoedya Ananta Toer (1953) [Reprinted from A . Teeuw, Modern Indonesian Literature (The Hague: Nijhoff, 1967)] PERBURUAN 1950 AND KELUARCA GERILYA 1950* Pramoedya Ananta Toer Translated by Benedict Anderson I've been asked: what is the creative process for me, as a writer? This is not an easy question to answer. Whether "formulated" or not, the creative process is always a very private and personal experience. Each writer will have his own ex­ perience, again whether "formulated" or not. I've been asked to detail the creative process which produced the novels Perburuan [The Fugitive] and Keluarga Gerilya [Th e Guerrilla Family]. Very well. I'll answer— even though there's no real need for other people to know what goes on in my private kitchen. My willingness to respond in this instance is based purely on the public's right to some comparisons . to limit undue onesidedness. 1948. I was 23 at the time— a pemuda who believed wholeheartedly in the nobil­ ity of work— any kind of work— who felt he could accomplish^ anything, and who dreamed of scraping the sky and scooping the belly of the earth: a pemuda who had only just begun his career as a writer, publicist, and reporter. As it turned out, all of this was nullified by thick prison walls. My life was regulated by a schedule determined by authorities propped up by rifles and bayonets. Forced labor outside the jail, four days a week, and getting cents for a full day's labor. Not a glimmer of light yet as to when the war of words and arms between the Re­ public and the Dutch would end.

  • Pramoedya Ananta Toer Translated by Harold Merrill
    BLORA Pramoedya Ananta Toer Translated by Harold Merrill Saudara! Do you know what every prisoner longs for? You must know! Getting out— regaining one's freedom, living among friends, relatives, and fellow human beings. For you, maybe these words "getting out" don't arouse any impressions whatsoever. But for pris- oners and former prisoners, how sweetly stirring these words are. They have the same magical power as the national anthem. And today, saudara, how happy I am. Why shouldn't I be? The guards came running into camp. The jailer was summoned. And all that little commotion was simply for my own happiness. Here's what happened, saudara. The jailer returned from the camp office and yelled, "Pram!" I yelled back in response. And he went on, "You're being released. Gather together all your gear." Like a crow being pelted with rocks, a screech came from my mouth, Okay, okay." I ran into my cell and packed up my clothes, bedding, and eating utensils. Friends rushed in urging me to exchange clothes. And there were also many who stood at the door with lustreless eyes. There were those who congratulated me and there were others who grumbled about their own fates. And I was touched. Naturally, there are moments when human beings will be touched no matter how materialistic they are. Especially when I walked to the camp office and they held up clenched fists, yelling feebly, "Freedom! Freedom! Don't forget the prison! Don't forget the struggle." Then the piercing shout that I won't ever forget for as long as I live, "Cheese tastes good, bung.1 And condensed milk makes you blind!"2 And I couldn't respond to them one by one.

Based on traditional notions of womanhood, these duties were used by the Indonesian State to restrict women's activities to the private sphere, that is, the family and domesticity. Linked with the Five Duties was kodrat wanita (women's destiny), an unofficial code of conduct, loosely based on biological determinism. Kodrat wanita became a benchmark by which women were measured during this period, and to a large extent this code is still valid today. In this thesis, I have analyzed female characters in Indonesian literature with specific identities that are on the periphery of this dominant discourse.

  • RESEARCH NOTES Javanese Names During the Height Of
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 20, No. 2, (2013), 81–89 RESEARCH NOTES Javanese Names during the Height of the Hindu-Buddhist Kingdoms in Java: An Ethnolinguistic Study SAHID TEGUH WIDODO Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia. [email protected] Abstract. Javanese names have undergone numerous developments throughout the course of human civilisation. The study of names is an important means of discovering the desires, cultural tastes and lifestyles of the Javanese from one period to another. This study used a qualitative descriptive research method. The data for the research were obtained from Indonesian historical sources, the story of Babad Tanah Jawa, epigraphs and selected informants. The techniques used to collect the data were content analysis and interviews with a number of historical and language experts. The analysis resulted in a description of the development of the form and structure of Javanese names. Based on the historical context, these names were strongly influenced by the Sanskrit language of the centuries- old Hindu and Buddhist traditions in India. The influence of the ancient Javanese language on Javanese names began to appear at the beginning of the Javanese Hindu era, along with a decline in the Hindu-Buddhist influence in Java. This influence was marked by the appearance of elements in names that do not exist as syllables in Sanskrit. This phenomenon indicates an acculturation of the Javanese, Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Ancient Javanese influences are still found today in modern Javanese names, such as in the use of the names Dyah, Jaya, Dewi/Devi, Wardhana, Arya and Rangga. Keywords and phrases: name, Javanese, Hindu, Buddhist, Sanskrit Introduction The height of the Hindu and Buddhist era in Java was marked by the establishment of large kingdoms and a high level of civilisation.

  • Pramoedya Ananta Toer and China: the Transformation of a Cultural Intellectual
    PRAMOEDYA ANANTA TOER AND CHINA: THE TRANSFORMATION OF A CULTURAL INTELLECTUAL Hong Liu As one of the most prominent writers in Indonesia, Pramoedya Ananta Toer has been at the center of a number of valuable studies which carefully document his intellectual journey and his place in modern Indonesian cultural history.* 1 It has been generally agreed that the years between 1956 and 1959 were crucial in the evolution of Pramoedya's cultural and political thinking. In an effort to trace the causes of this change, the existing literature focuses almost exclusively on Indonesia's turbulent domestic political transformation and its impact on Pramoedya; very little attention * This is an expanded version of a chapter from my doctoral dissertation, "'The China Metaphor': Indonesian Intellectuals and the PRC, 1949-1965" (Ohio University, 1995). I am indebted to William H. Frederick for his constructive and thorough comments. Charles Alexander, Donald Jordan, Benedict Anderson, Chen Xiaru, Go Gien Tjwan, Kent Mulliner, Kohar Rony, Yong Mun-Cheong, and Tsing Yuan have been helpful in shaping my understanding of the complex questions relating to China in Indonesia, for which I am grateful. Financial support for my overseas research was provided by a fellowship from the Center for International Studies at Ohio University and a grant from the Southeast Asian Council of the Association for Asian Studies, both funded by the Henry Luce Foundation. I alone, of course, am responsible for the views expressed here and any remaining errors. 1 See for example, Bahrum Rangkuti, Pramoedya Ananta Toer dan Karja Seninja (Jakarta: Gunung Agung, 1963); Savitri Scherer, "From Culture to Politics: The Writings of Pramoedya Ananta Toer" (PhD diss., Australian National University, 1981); Mohamad Zamri bin Shaari, "Sebuah Analisa Kebahasaan terhadap Bumi Manusia Karya Pramoedya Ananta Toer" (PhD diss., Universitas Nasional Indonesia, 1985); and A.
