Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali
Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jennifer L. Goodlander August 2010 © 2010 Jennifer L. Goodlander. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali by JENNIFER L. GOODLANDER has been approved for the Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee Professor of Theater Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GOODLANDER, JENNIFER L., Ph.D., August 2010, Interdisciplinary Arts Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali (248 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee The role of women in Bali must be understood in relationship to tradition, because “tradition” is an important concept for analyzing Balinese culture, social hierarchy, religious expression, and politics. Wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, is considered an important Balinese tradition because it connects a mythic past to a political present through public, and often religiously significant ritual performance. The dalang, or puppeteer, is the central figure in this performance genre and is revered in Balinese society as a teacher and priest. Until recently, the dalang has always been male, but now women are studying and performing as dalangs. In order to determine what women in these “non-traditional” roles means for gender hierarchy and the status of these arts as “traditional,” I argue that “tradition” must be understood in relation to three different, yet overlapping, fields: the construction of Bali as a “traditional” society, the role of women in Bali as being governed by “tradition,” and the performing arts as both “traditional” and as a conduit for “tradition.” This dissertation is divided into three sections, beginning in chapters two and three, with a general focus on the “tradition” of wayang kulit through an analysis of the objects and practices of performance.

When to Shake Hands, Hug Or Kiss by ANDREW JACOBS OCT
A Traveler’s Guide to Customs: When to Shake Hands, Hug or Kiss By ANDREW JACOBS OCT. 21, 2016 Adrian Samson/Self Publish, Be Happy You’ve just landed in Beijing, Rio de Janeiro or Christchurch, New Zealand, and you’re greeted at the airport by a clutch of adoring locals. What is the polite way to greet them? Do you bow, or proffer your hand, or prepare to envelop the assembled strangers in an American-style embrace? More important: To kiss or not to kiss? The world may be increasingly globalized, but when it comes to greeting practices, local customs still prevail — and things can get awkward when, say, a hug-loving American businessman meets his Japanese counterpart for the first time. (Best just to bow.) If you find yourself facing a group of native Maoris in New Zealand, you’ll want to steel yourself for a traditional nose greeting, which involves touching snouts to one another’s foreheads. In Rio, local convention dictates three cheek kisses. But a few hours’ drive to the south in São Paulo, the single peck prevails. In Beijing, the locals prefer a nod and a smile. New Zealand: touching snouts. Adrian Samson/Self Publish, Be Happy In the interests of international fellowship and peace, here is an incomplete guide to world greetings. Lips Together? In much of Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, air kissing between strangers is common, but each nation, and in some cases each region within a country, may have its own habits. Argentine men will cheek-kiss one another, but only if they are friends of friends.

16 Gestures by 16 Months
16 Gestures by 16 Months Children Should Learn at Least 16 Gestures by 16 Months Good communication development starts in the first year of life and goes far beyond learning how to talk. Communication development has its roots in social interaction with parents and other caregivers during everyday activities. Your child’s growth in social communication is important because it helps your child connect with you, learn language and play concepts, and sets the stage for learning to read and future success in school. Good com- munication skills are the best tool to prevent behavior problems and make it easier to work through moments of frustration that all infants and toddlers face.

The situation becomes even more complex when different greeting gestures are required between men and women, women and women, and men and men. Luckily, the ultimate pleasant gesture is used in every country. Although occasionally, in some cultures and under certain circumstances, it may have negative connotations, this ultimate gesture is seldom misunderstood

Essential Things to Know About Gestures and Body Language
c01.qxp 7/16/07 9:21 AM Page 7 1 Essential Things to Know about Gestures and Body Language Sixty percent of our daily communication is nonverbal. —Edward T. Hall Are simple hand gestures and body movements important? Here are some answers: It’s inaugural day in the United States, 2005. Presi- dent George W. Bush is in the reviewing stand on Washington, D.C.’s Pennsylvania Avenue as the UniversityCOPYRIGHTED of Texas marching band MATERIAL passes by. He raises his hand to salute his alma mater with the time-honored “hook ’em horns” sign—fist raised upright, index finger and pinkie sticking up, the sign of the horns of a Texas longhorn steer, the mascot and symbol of the University of Texas. Bush’s picture appears on TV screens around the globe . and many people in countries around the world are immediately insulted! 7 c01.qxp 7/16/07 9:21 AM Page 8 8 ESSENTIAL DO’S AND TABOOS That very same gesture—fist upraised, index and little fingers extended upward—is considered rude in certain other countries. • In Italy, it means “Your wife is cheating on you!” “You are being cuckolded.” • In some parts of Africa, you are issuing a curse. • In Norway, the Internet newspaper Nettavisen expressed outrage that not only Bush, but his wife and two daughters, would issue such an insult. • Yet the gesture can also have positive meanings. In the Mediterranean Sea, fishing boats may have this symbol painted on their bows to ward off evil, and in Brazil, women often wear gold or silver lockets with this sign as a good luck amulet.

Firstly, they rnay be read and regardecl in theirT own right, irrespective of their ethmgraphic, eco'logical or socio graphic 'field', as a preliminary exploration of the system of symbolic representation and comrnunication d values and other concepts by one non-western pqle that has been studied at oonsiderable depth. Secondly, they rnay be viewed as a further contribution ta a series of published md projected studies of the Redjang and neighburing peoples of Highland South Sumtra, based m 21 mmths' intensive fieldwork which I carried out in 1961-63 as a Research Fellow of the Australian National University, Canberra. Materials already published include "Kebudajaan dan Masjaraht di Sumatra Selatan" in Seriwi- djaja (Palembang, 1962), From Patriliny to Matriliny: Structurd Change among the Redjang of Southwest Sumatra (Canberra, 1%4 - limited multiiithed edition), and Folk Literature of Smth Sumatra, Volume I: Redjang Ka-Ga-Nga Texts (Canberra, 1964).

In the same light, humans must also understand the messages that are being communicated by robots, including the non-verbal ones. We conducted a web-based video study wherein participants gave interpretations on the iconic gestures and emblems that were produced by an anthropomorphic robot. Out of the 15 gestures presented, we found 6 robotic gestures that can be accurately recognized by the human observer. These were nodding, clapping, hugging, expressing anger, walking, and flying. We reviewed these gestures for their meaning from literatures in human and animal behavior. We conclude by discussing the possible implications of these gestures for the design of social robots that are aimed to have engaging interactions with humans. Index Terms—social robotics, iconic gestures, emblematic gestures, human-robot interaction, humanoid robots, robot gestures.

Cultural Etiquette China Greece Hong Kong India Indonesia Italy Japan Malaysia Philippines Singapore Thailand Vietnam
Cultural Etiquette China Greece Hong Kong India Indonesia Italy Japan Malaysia Philippines Singapore Thailand Vietnam as taken from the following website: http://www.ediplomat.com/np/cultural_etiquette/cultural_etiquette.htm G:\CaLD\Cultural Etiquette.doc 0 Version 1 China The Peoplehttp://www.ediplomat.com/np/cultural_etiquette/cultural_etiquette.htm Deeply rooted in Chinese society is the need to belong and conform to a unit, whether the family, a political party or an organization. The family is the focus of life for most Chinese. Age and rank are highly respected. However, to the dismay of older people, today's young people are rapidly modernizing, wearing blue jeans and sunglasses, drinking Coke and driving motorbikes. Meeting and Greeting Shake hands upon meeting. Chinese may nod or bow instead of shaking hands, although shaking hands has become increasingly common. When introduced to a Chinese group, they may greet you with applause. Applaud back. Senior persons begin greetings. Greet the oldest, most senior person before others. During group introductions, line up according to seniority with the senior person at the head of the line. Names and Titles Use family names and appropriate titles until specifically invited by your Chinese host or colleagues to use their given names. Address the Chinese by Mr., Mrs., Miss plus family name. Note: married women always retain their maiden name. Chinese are often addressed by their government or professional titles. For example, address Li Pang using his title: Mayor Li or Director Li. Names may have two parts; for example: Wang Chien. Traditional Chinese family names are placed first with the given name (which has one or two syllables) coming last (family name: Wang; given: Chien).

Handy Handouts® Free, Educational Handouts for Teachers and Parents* Number 461
Handy Handouts® Free, educational handouts for teachers and parents* Number 461 Earlier Intervention by Abby Sakovich M.S., CCC-SLP Before a baby says his first words, the foundation for communication, language, and learning begins to develop. The interaction between a baby and his caregivers enables social connection, develops linguistic and play concepts, and is essential for later reading and academic success. It is through this interaction that gestures, predictors of preschool language ability, begin to take shape. Children should be using two new gestures a month, resulting in 16 gestures by 16 months of age. Gesture Timeline (* order in development may vary) • 9 Months – Give / Shake Head o Instead of taking toys or objects from those around them, children learn to give as well as indicate “no” by shaking and/or turning their head away from undesired toys or food. • 10 Months – Reach / Raise Arms o Children begin anticipating the reactions of others. They signal to be picked up first with their arms reaching out, then with open hands facing up and arms raised. • 11 Months – Show / Wave o By this age, children are motivated to get and maintain others’ attention by showing an object. Children are also motivated to participate in frequent social routines, and begin to wiggle their hands to wave (i.e., a mature wave develops later). • 12 Months – Open-Hand Point / Tap o Gesturing becomes more intentional, and open-handed pointing and tapping on objects is accompanied by grunting or early speech sounds to better gain attention. • 13 Months – Clap / Blow Kisses o Children begin to learn by observing and imitating others, particularly when clapping or blowing a kiss.
