In D O N E S Ia N Marijke Klokke AN INDONESIAN SCULPTURE IN THE KRÖLLER-MÜLLER MUSEUM1 Introduction SCULPTURE In 1919 Helene Kröller-Müller acquired an Indonesian sculpture from Frederik Muller & Cie, a well-known auction house in Amsterdam at the time (PI. 1). The inventory of the auction - which took place on 25-28 November 1919 - listed the sculpture under lot numbers 1548-1567, together with 19 other sculptures from the Netherlands Indies: ‘Collection de vingt sculptures en gres, d’idoles, etc. des Indes néerlandaises. (Boroboudour, Java?). - Par pièce’.2 Helene Kröller-Müller was born in Essen in Germany in 1869. In 1888 she married Anton Kröller, a promising employee at the Rotterdam branch of her father’s firm Wm H. Müller & Co. A year later he was to become the director of this firm and one of the richest business men in the Netherlands. In 1907 INDONESIAN Helene began to collect art, mainly the contemporary art of which Van Gogh was her favourite, but also non-western art.3 When she bought the Indo­ nesian sculpture in 1919 she was making plans to build a museum for her AN growing art collection. Because of long discussions with architects and financial problems of the Müller firm in the 1930s it was not until 1938 that her dream came true and the Kröller-Müller Museum came into existence thanks to an initiative of the Dutch state.4 Helene Kröller-Müller was to be the first director, but not for long as she died in 1939. The sculpture she acquired in 1919 is the only Indonesian piece in the Kröller-Müller Museum collection.5 It is registered as KM 113.611 but the inventory file gives little Information about the identification of the depicted figure (‘Hindu-Buddhist dwarf figure’), the origin of the relief (‘Indonesia’), or its date (‘unknown’). In this article I wish to establish its original context. Identification The sculpture is a relief on a square slab of stone that depicts a dwarf-like figure squatting on its haunches (PI. 1). The figure’s arms rest on its knees and the hands are raised as if to support the top part of the stone. The figure has curly hair and wears jewellery (large round ear rings, a necklace, anklets, and armlets) but no clothes. It sits on three round objects that represent its genitals. It holds the two ends of a sash in its upraised hands while the middle part of the sash is wrapped around the front of its fat belly. Plant-like pi.i. ornamentation fills the spaces on both sides of the dwarf-like figure. There are An Indonesian sculpture plain borders on the left, the top and the bottom of the panel but on the right in the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, such a border is missing. Downloaded from Brill.com10/07/2021 02:07:44PM The Netherlands via free access PI. 2. Similar dwarf-like figures abound in the Hindu and Buddhist temple art of Frieze with flying dwarf- Central Java. Like many other ornaments carved on temples - such as like carrier figures, monster heads, garlands, wishing trees, and vases of plenty - they derive Candi Kalasan from Indian art. Van Erp uses the term atlantes to denote such figures on Borobudur,6 but more often the Sanskrit word gana is used.7. Ganas are the dwarf-like followers of the Hindu god Siva and his son Ganesha, whose name means ‘Lord of the ganas’.8 However, since the dwarf-like figures are found on both Hindu and Buddhist temples in Central Java, it is questionable whether gana, specifically associated with Siva, is the correct term. More semi-divine dwarf-like or burden-bearing creatures such as guhyakas, yaksas, and naras are known in Sanskrit literature.9 It is difficult to decide which term would best fit the figures portrayed in Central Javanese art. These figures can be found on many of the surviving temples (candi) in Central Java, for instance Banyunibo, Barong, Borobudur, Dieng Candi A, Gedong Songo I, Kalasan, Kedulan, Loro Jonggrang, Lumbung,10 Mendut, Merak, Morangan, Pendem, Plaosan Lor, Sambisari, Sari, Sewu, and Sojiwan. They are seen at various locations, often integrated into an element with a support function, for instance in friezes (PI. 2), at the top of pilasters (PI. 3), at the bases of doorways or niche posts, or on panels below niches (PI. 11). The dwarf-like figures display various forms. When they are found high up on a temple, as for example at Candi Kalasan (PI. 2), they are often depicted in a flying attitude with one leg bent in front and the other leg bent backwards. Most examples appear in a squatting attitude with their hands uplifted as if carrying something (Pis 3-7, 9). Some examples, for instance at Candi Sojiwan (PI. 9), are seated on a lion or an elephant. Others, such as those at Candi Kalasan, have only one hand raised in a lifting position (PI. 2). Those that have both hands raised show various hand positions: both hands turned outward seems to be the most common position (Pis 3 and 6); whereas both hands turned inward is the most common at Candi Sewu (PI. 4); one hand turned inward and the other turned outward is found at Candi Gedong Songo I, Candi Kedulan, Candi Pendem (PI. 5), and Candi Plaosan Lor; and both hands turned to the front is the common way of depiction at Candi Loro Jpnggrang (PI. 7). Usually a piece of cloth hides the dwarfs’ genitals as can be seen in an example from Candi Sambisari (PI. 6),Downloaded but sometimes from Brill.com10/07/2021 the genitals 02:07:44PM are visible as can be seen on the figures at Candi Mendut (PI. 3). Sometimesvia free access PI. 3. the dwarf-like figures are shown carrying a flower (PI. 2), a flywhisk (PI. 9), Pot-bellied dwarf-like bells (Pis 5 and 6), or frond-like vegetation. They are occasionally found in figures at the top of association with plant-like ornaments, as on Candi Lumbung (PI. 8). pilasters carrying a kala- makara arch Origin By comparing the variety of dwarf-like figures found at several Central Javanese temples, it is possible to conclude that the Kröller-Müller sculpture has originated from the Barong temple complex. Candi Barong is situated in the hamlet Candisari in the village Sambirejo, Prambanan district, Sleman regency, Special Region (Daerah Istimewa) Yogyakarta, not far from Prambanan, a small townDownloaded on the from road Brill.com10/07/2021 from 02:07:44PM via free access Yogyakarta to Surakarta.

From the top of the hill there is a spectacular view across the landscape to the Southwest. Candi Barong is a relatively new name for this temple complex. When Helene Kröller-Müller bought her Indonesian sculpture, the site was called Candi Sari or Sari Sorogedug (to distinguish it from another Candi Sari, near Kalasan). In his Inleiding tot de Hindoe-Javaansche kunst N.J. Krom mentions that this temple had completely disappeared.11 It must have been in this condition for some time and was probably one of the sites which J.W. Ijzerman - who made a survey of this area at the end of the 19th century - described as 'jammerlijke puinhopen, gesloopt door een verbasterd nageslacht, dat niet in staat is de grootheid zijner vaderen te waarderen’'2.12, Not only did local people use the temple stones to build their own homes, attractive pieces could be taken unnoticed to add to a private collection or to sell on the art market. This was probably the fate of the sculpture in the Kröller-Müller Museum. The situation described by Ijzerman has changed completely. Indonesians are well aware of their cultural heritage.

The Barong temple complex consists of two courtyards built on terraces on the hill. On the lower terrace only the foundations of a number of buildings can be seen. The upper terrace, which one enters through a gateway in its western wall, contains two temples standing next to each other on a north- south axis. They are called Candi I and Candi II, but since there is confusion in the literature about which is which I prefer to designate them as the northern and Southern temples.15 The two buildings are very similar. They are both small square temples measuring 8.40 x 8.40 m at their base.16 They are unique because, unlike other Central Javanese temples, their inner spaces - where one would normally find a temple chamber containing a central image - are enclosed on four sides and do not have entrances. All four sides have niches while other temples have niches in three sides and a staircase leading to the entrance on the fourth side. All the niches in the two Barong temples are empty now. Of the six images that were found at the site, only pi.

  • Mbasaaké in Family Circle: Linguistic Socialization of Politeness in Javanese
    Linguistik Indonesia, Agustus 2020, 165-178 Volume ke-38, No.2 Copyright©2020, Masyarakat Linguistik Indonesia ISSN cetak 0215-4846; ISSN online 2580-2429 MBASAAKÉ IN FAMILY CIRCLE: LINGUISTIC SOCIALIZATION OF POLITENESS IN JAVANESE Arapa Efendi1 Katharina Endriati Sukamto2 Ph.D. Student in Applied English Linguistics, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya & Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Universitas Internasional Batam1, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya2 [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract This qualitative preliminary study highlights a common linguistic practice of politeness in the Javanese family circle called mbasaaké, which refers to addressing or referring to a family member with a kinship term that does not necessarily portray the actual family relationship. This study aims to demonstrate that this pragmatic practice of mbasaaké requires the role of adult speakers in the family circle to novice members of the family. The adult members in the family intentionally deployed this act as a strategy to socialize politeness in the Javanese culture. A small number of naturally occurring interactive turns which involves four family members are presented in this paper to illustrate this mbasaaké practice. The four persons who participated in the casual conversations originally come from East Java, but they have resided in Yogyakarta for many years. The data presented in this paper prove that this linguistic socialization is continuously practiced within the family circle with or without the presence of the novice members of the family. Another important finding is that a respectful kinship term is also given to a family member in absentia. Keywords: language socialization, politeness, Javanese, address terms, mbasaaké Abstrak Penelitian awal yang bersifat kualitatif ini membahas praktik berbahasa untuk menyatakan kesopanan yang umum digunakan di lingkungan keluarga Jawa yang disebut mbasaaké.

    Paper Number: 35 Geohazards risk assessment for disaster management of Mount Merapi and surrounding area, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Ayu Narwastu Ciptahening1 & Noppadol Phienwej2 1 Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Indonesia, E-mail [email protected] 2 Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand ___________________________________________________________________________ It is well-known that there exists a very active volcano situated in Central Java and Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia, called Mount Merapi. It is classified into one of the most active volcanoes, even on the world. It mostly erupts in every 4 years. Deposits produced by its activity in Sleman Regency Yogyakarta Special Region of where the study located, can be divided into four rock units, namely Ancient Merapi, Middle Merapi, Recent Merapi, and Modern Merapi. In the 10th to 11th century Mount Merapi had been responsible to the decline of Hindu Mataram Kingdom, Central Java, by its eruptions. It was verified by the discovery of many ancient temples in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas, such as Temple Sambisari, Temple Kadisoka, and Temple Kedulan which were buried by volcanic deposits of Mount Merapi [1]. The eruption of Mount Merapi, in the year 2010 was recognized as the biggest eruption during recent decades and claimed about 300 lives and very large treasures, after the eruption. The type of eruption was changed from Merapi type in the activity period of 2006 and before to become the combination of Vulcanian type and Pelean type [2]. Due to the activities of the volcano that is very intensive, it can be underlined that the threats of geohazard faced by people living in the surrounding area of Yogyakarta is about the impact of volcanic eruptions [3].

    Local Government Strategy and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) level: Case Studies of Sleman and Kulon Progo district, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) Miptahul Janah1, Dyah Mutiarin1 {[email protected]} Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta1 Abstract. The research objective was to determine the extent to which local government strategy influences FDI level in Sleman and KulonProgo districts. The research was a qualitative one that used data and information that were obtained from government documents, macroeconomic indicators from local government statistics offices, interviews with relevant officials responsible and knowledgeable about investment in general and FDI in particular. Research findings found no evidence of local government strategy that was specifically tailored toward attracting FDI to the respective district. However, there is abundant evidence that determinants of FDI are in line with previous research results and theory. The results show that the key factors that have influenced a greater number of FDI to locate more of their production facilities in Sleman than in Kulon Progo include accessibility, availability of skilled manpower, good infrastructure, a responsive investment regulatory regime, quality information on investment potential, active involvement of the district government in showcasing investment potential through local , national and international fora. The existence of agglomeration effects in Sleman district has also played an important role, if not the most important, in making Sleman more attractive as FDI destination than Kulon Progo district. Keywords: local government strategy, Foreign Direct Investment, agglomeration effects 1 Introduction Investment is one of the drivers of economic growth in a region.

    BAB 3 KEPURBAKALAAN PADANG LAWAS: TINJAUAN GAYA SENI BANGUN, SENI ARCA DAN LATAR KEAAGAMAAN Tinjauan seni bangun (arsitektur) kepurbakalaan di Padang Lawas dilakukan terhadap biaro yang masih berdiri dan sudah dipugar, yaitu Biaro Si Pamutung, Biaro Bahal 1, Biaro Bahal 2, dan Biaro Bahal 3. Sedangkan rekonstruksi bentuk dilakukan terhadap unsur-unsur bangunan biaro-biaro di Padang Lawas yang sudah tidak berada dalam konteksnya lagi, atau masih insitu dan berada dengan konteksnya tetapi dalam keadaan fragmentaris. Rekonstruksi tersebut dilakukan berdasarkan tulisan dan foto (gambar) para peneliti yang sudah melakukan penelitian di situs tersebut pada masa lalu. Tinjauan terhadap gaya seni arca dilakukan terhadap arca-arca logam untuk mengetahui bagaimana gaya seni arca tinggalan di Padang Lawas, apakah mempunyai kesamaan dengan gaya seni arca dari tempat lain baik di Indonesia maupun luar Indonesia. Gaya seni arca juga dapat memberikan gambaran periodisasinya secara relatif. Adapun periodisasi situs secara mutlak didapatkan berdasarkan temuan prasasti-prasasti yang menuliskan pertanggalan. Prasasti- prasasti yang ditemukan di Padang Lawas sebagian besar berisi tentang mantra- mantra dalam melakukan suatu upacara keagamaan, oleh karena itu latar keagamaan situs dapat diketahui berdasarkan isi prasasti. Di samping itu latar keagamaan diketahui juga dengan melalui studi ikonografi terhadap arca dan relief. 3.1 Gaya Seni Bangun (Arsitektur) Menurut Walter Grophius arsitektur adalah suatu ilmu bangunan yang juga mencakup masalah-masalah yang berhubungan dengan biologi, sosial, teknik, dan artistik, oleh karena itu arsitektur dapat didefinisikan sebagai: (1) Seni ilmu bangunan, termasuk perencanaan, perancangan, konstruksi dan penyelesaian ornament; (2) Sifat, karakter atau gaya bangunan; (3) Kegiatan atau proses membangun bangunan; (4) Bangunan-bangunan; (5) Sekelompok bangunan Universitas Indonesia 114 Kepurbakalaan Padang..., Sukawati Susetyo, FIB UI, 2010.

In the "sister village" scenario, the meeting area and shelter have been coordinated, but people's behavior has not been fully considered yet in the vulnerability assessment and government's contingency plan. The purpose of this study is to assess the people's behavior, mutual assistance, and social vulnerability index of pedestrian evacuation in four affected regencies. First, we measured the walking speed directly, conducted interviews with stakeholders, and focus group discussions with local communities. We used the multicriteria method and focused on two factors, social and age structure (young, vulnerable, and mutual assistance between them), and risk perception (work, rain, night, alert, and destination). The index reflects the distribution of actual walking speed, mutual assistance, and the government's plan. The result showed that mutual assistance groups have a higher walking speed than vulnerable people but lower than young people. Mutual assistance coordination is crucial to support vulnerable to effective travel time. The social and age structure of the social vulnerability index has a stronger risk influence than the perception factor in the evacuation process. However, these two factors have a minor impact on social vulnerability to the total population.
