Embodied Encounters: Identities in Experiential, Informal Dance, and Movement in Central Java Lise Lavelle, Lund University, Sweden Contact: [email protected]
Embodied encounters: Identities in experiential, informal dance, and movement in Central Java Lise Lavelle, Lund University, Sweden Contact: [email protected] Abstract The performance presented in this paper, entitled “Perempuan,” or “Women” in English, is the result of an intercultural meeting between three dancers, two from Java, Indonesia, and one from Denmark (me). Our performance took place in the cultural city of Solo, Central Java, during the international festival, “Ritual Art and Cultural Environment” in 1995. I first met the two Javanese dancers at the Indonesian National Arts Institute in Solo (ISI), where I was carrying out fieldwork for my PhD, centering on the Amerta Movement from Java. Amerta Movement, created by Javanese movement-instructor and performing artist Suprapto Suryodarmo (Prapto) in the 1980s, is a free, non-stylized motion based on everyday movements and on working with awareness and attitudes to life (not an ethnic dance). Amerta Movement has attracted thousands of people, especially Westerners, from all walks of life and of all ages. The practitioners study identity, self-expression, movement-vocabulary, communication, and improvised performance. The research method is practice-based/artistic research. My aim of working with the Javanese dancers for Perempuan was to apply the Amerta improvisational movement to a dance performance with professional dancers, and to exchange our dance skills. It was also based on my wish to get to know Javanese women a little better. Thus, the Perempuan dance project and dance performance became an encounter between non-form Amerta Movement, represented by me, a Westerner; and form, Javanese dance, represented by the two Javanese dancers. -

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.

"IT'S NOT AN ALL NIGHT FAIR’1 ("BUKAN PASAR MALAMM by Pramoedya Ananta Toer) Translated and with an Introduction by William Watson* INTRODUCTION The generation of writers which emerged after the Second World War is known as the Angkatan f45 (The Generation of '45). Among students of Indonesian literature it is a commonplace that the Angkatan *45 de veloped a style of writing and a critical focus which differed consid erably from that of their predecessors, the writers who clustered round the magazine Pudjangga Baru. Among the distinctive traits of post-war writing which are usually mentioned are the predominance of realism in the short story and the novel, as opposed to the romanticism and thesis novels of the earlier generation, and the development of a prose style which is noticeable for its terseness and the absence of lyricism. One also notices the use of cynicism and irony to convey oblique com ments on the political situation, and an interest in sordid, squalid detail for its own sake, a nostalgie de la boue. Clearly the experience of the Japanese occupation and the revolu tion account in large measure for the difference in outlook between the two generations, but the difference in educational and class back ground is also relevant. The Pudjangga Baru group consisted of those to whom the whole Dutch perspective had been open. They had a thorough Dutch education and were largely divorced from their own native society, whereas the Angkatan f45 consisted of those who had not had the oppor tunity of university or tertiary education of any sort and in some cases were brought up in the traditional educational milieux or in the Taman Siswa schools that had been established specifically to counter Dutch educational influence. -

“SALAM NAMASTE” SEBAGAI PENGUATAN IDENTITAS SOSIAL BERBASIS KEARIFAN LOKAL Yovita Arie Mangesti1
Mimbar Keadilan Volume 14 Nomor 1 Februari 2021 Yovita Arie Mangesti PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM PEMBERIAN HAK CIPTA ATAS “SALAM NAMASTE” SEBAGAI PENGUATAN IDENTITAS SOSIAL BERBASIS KEARIFAN LOKAL Yovita Arie Mangesti1 Abstract "Salam Namaste" is a gesture of placing your palms together on your chest and bending your body slightly, which is commonly practiced by Indonesians as a symbol of respect for someone they meet. This body gesture is a safe way of interacting during a pandemic, because it can minimize virus transmission through body contact without losing the noble meaning of human interaction with each other. "Salam Namaste" is a means of communication that unites the diversity of Indonesian cultures. This paper uses a conceptual, statutory and eclectic approach to "Salam Namaste" which is a form of traditional cultural expression. Indonesian culture is full of wisdom, so that "Salam Namaste" deserves legal protection in the form of State-owned Intellectual Property Rights as regulated in Article 38 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. Keywords: copyright; local wisdom "Salam Namaste"; strengthening of social identity Abstrak “Salam Namaste” merupakan gestur tubuh mengatupkan kedua telapak tangan di dada dan sedikit membungkukkan badan, yang lazim dilakukan oleh masyarakat Indonesia sebagai simbol penghormatan terhadap seseorang yang dijumpai. Gestur tubuh ini menjadi cara berinteraksi yang aman di masa pandemi, karena dapat meminimalisir penularan virus lewat kontak tubuh tanpa kehilangan makna luhur interaksi manusia dengan sesamanya. “Salam Namaste” menjadi sarana komunikasi yang menyatukan keragaman budaya Indonesia. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan konseptua, perundang-undangan serta eklektik terhadap “Salam Namaste” yang merupakan suatu bentuk ekspresi budaya tradisional. -

Chapter X Sanctuaries on Mount Penanggungan |
Chapter X Sanctuaries on Mount Penanggungan: Candi Kendalisodo, Candi Yudha, and the Panji statue from Candi Selokelir – the climax geographical situation and layout of the sanctuaries Mount Penanggungan (1,653 m), situated approximately 50 kilometres to the south of Surabaya, has a peculiar shape (fig. 10.1). It has one cen- tral peak, which is surrounded by four lower summits and four more hills on a lower level, such that it resembles a natural mandala.1 The names of the four upper hills, starting from the one in the northeast and then proceeding clockwise, are Gajah Mungkur, Kemuncup, Sarahklopo, and Bekel (fig. 10.2). Most of the 81 sanctuaries or their remains are located on the northern and western slopes of the mountain.2 Many of the sanctuaries are grouped in such a way that their loca- tions follow an ascending line on the mountain slope – for example, sites LXI, LXII, LXIV, LXVII, and LX on the western slope, starting from Candi Jolotundo (XXVII). Others are grouped together in close proxim- ity – for instance, sites I, XVI, LIV, LII, LIII, LI, L, and IL on the upper western slope. Around Gajahmungkur ten sites are grouped close to each other: VII, XX, XXI, III, XIX, IX, XXII, XVIII, VIII, and LXIX.3 As not all the buildings are dated, we cannot conclude that these arrange- ments were the result of a plan. However, the addition of new sanctuar- ies may have allowed paths of procession and groups of sanctuaries to develop gradually. These sanctuary groups and lines may correspond with the so-called mandala which are mentioned in the Nagarakertagama 1 Compare my explanations on Mount Penanggungan in Chapter IV, sub-chapter ‘Water and moun- tain’. -
