  • Negotiating Masculinity in Yogyakarta's Pool Centers
    Negotiating masculinity in Yogyakarta’s pool centers A game of skill, contesting and respecting values, and possessions Pepijn de Wit Thesis for Master of Arts degree Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology Leiden University, Faculty of Social Sciences Supervised By Jasmijn Rana, Msc. Second reader Dr. Ratna Saptari OctoBer 2016 The front page photograph was taken by Mas Neyo in Pool World, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The sociologist Ned Polsky argued the American pool room to be “the greatest and most determinedly all-male institution in American social life” (Polsky 1967: 32). “Until very recently, billiards was completely dominated by men. The atmosphere of the poolroom was very forbidding and a woman would have had trouble being accepted there” (Shamos 1995). “It is very difficult for a woman to develop billiard skill because male players, her family, and friends usually do not support her efforts and it is not easy to find experienced women instructors or coaches” (Shamos 1995). Abstract Pool is a well-known sport in Indonesia. The sport is being perceived as masculine and male dominated (Polsky 1967: 32). In this research I explore why that is and what factors play a role in the negotiation of masculinity in pool centers in Yogyakarta. I will argue that the negotiation of masculinity in Yogyakarta’s pool centers is a game of skill, contesting and respecting cultural values, and material possessions that represent social status and wealth. In addition, I will argue that pool in itself in Yogyakarta is a masculine activity because of its historical image. Women still often experience obstacles, coming forth from cultural values, that prevent them from going to pool centers, and from becoming a professional pool player.

  • Sport, Politics and Ethnicity: Playing Badminton for Indonesia1
    SPORT, POLITICS AND ETHNICITY: PLAYING BADMINTON FOR INDONESIA1 Colin Brown2 Faculty of Media, Society and Culture Curtin University of Technology The scholarly study of sport – in which ‘sports are viewed as cultural products that develop within sociohistorical contexts’3 -- is now well-established. However, the literature suffers from two important and related defects. One of these defects is its geographical focus. As van Bottenburg notes in his study Global Games the scholarly literature on sport: ‘is mainly limited to developments in the Western world. Information on the other continents is at best fragmentary, often collected in wide- ranging surveys’.4 In particular, relatively little has been written on sport and politics in the Asian context. South Asia is perhaps best served, for reasons which are mentioned below, but even here the coverage is slight compared with that of Europe and North America. The second defect is that the sports which have been studied are overwhelmingly those of European/North American origin, and in which peoples from these two traditions are still dominant. Very little has been written on sports where Europeans and Americans are not dominant, or at least major participants. In part, this undoubtedly reflects the cultural and ethnic origins of most sports scholars. But there also seems to be an assumption operating here that the important sports are the 1 This paper was presented to the 15th Biennial Conference of the Asian Studies Association of Australia in Canberra 29 June-2 July 2004.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Sports is an overlooked tool in diplomacy, which has the potential of propelling the global image of countries when used effectively. Sports has been important and has coexisted with politics as far back to the times of ancient Greece in 776 BC where the first Olympics was used as a medium for leaders as well as citizens to exchange cultures and ideologies.1 In today’s world, sports can play an impactful role in International Relations. Sport is one of the great inventions of man, more people watch or take part in sport than any other human activity. It has the ability to reflect and influence ideas of people, as well as national identity and pride. Sport also can change a country’s brand which is why it should be considered an important tool for a country to use in diplomacy. As Nelson Mandela once said; “Sports has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people… sport can create hope where once there was despair.” Today, Sports is just as valued today as it was in the past. Sports have become a tool which countries use as a medium for diplomacy which give countries an opportunity to rebrand themselves and improve their global image. For instance, New Zealand is a country that can be seen practicing sports diplomacy by using the 1 International Olympic Committee.
