Book Fruits of Inspiration

Download or read book Fruits of Inspiration written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-09-13 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich collection of lengthy and thorough articles about such a broad field as the history, art and archeology of South and Southeast Asia, this volume is a worthy tribute to a great scholar. Professor J. G. de Casparis has lectured and published widely both at the School of African and Oriental Studies in London and at the Departments of South and Southeast Asian Studies in Leiden. Inspired by his lifelong devotion to this field, his former colleagues and students, now spread over many countries in Asia and the West, present the selected fruits of their research as a token of friendship and admiration. Epigraphy is the main theme in most of the thirty articles contained in this volume, but others focus on the Borobudur, the Old-Javanese calendar, books and writing materials, Buddhist iconography, and important issues such as the nature of the ‘lasting relationship’ between South and Southeast Asia, particularly in pre-Islamic times. All authors share the outspoken historical and textual approach, so characteristic of the work of Professor de Casparis and his circle, thus giving this book its inner coherence and consistency. This book is not just a random collection of papers. The scope and richness of the contributions will not fail to appeal to new generations of scholars and students working in this field, and as such this book is expected to fulfill its own role in the transmission of knowledge regarding the great civilizations of ancient South and Southeast Asia.

Book Jaranan

    Book Details:
  • Author : Clara van Groenendael
  • Publisher : BRILL
  • Release : 2012-12-11
  • ISBN : 9004253874
  • Pages : 307 pages

Download or read book Jaranan written by Clara van Groenendael and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic genre of the horse dance (jaranan) is part of an age-old Javanese tradition displaying wide local and regional variations. A striking feature of the performances of the majority of horse dance groups is the appearance of trance dancers. These are used as a means of establishing contact with the spirits of the ancestors, who continue to play an important part in the lives of their descendants as moral beacons in the solution of problems and the fulfillment of wishes. As a consequence of the modernization of society in almost every aspect of life, vigorously propagated as it was by the Suharto regime in the period 1966-1998, the trance in horse dancing has been strongly discouraged as an anachronism. This has prompted a search for new ways of preserving this dramatic genre for future generations. The way the administration of Kediri and a number of local horse dance companies set about solving this problem constitutes a dominant theme of this book. To bring the phenomenon of the horse dance in Java into sharper focus, a brief account is given of its history, as well as a description of the great variety of horse dance groups of and a range of aspects of this genre.

Book Routledge Handbook of Islam in Southeast Asia

This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores the ways in which Islam, as one of the fastest growing religions, has become a global faith for both Muslims and non-Muslims in Southeast Asia with its universality, inclusivity, and shared features with other Islamic expressions and manifestations. It offers an up-to-date, wide-ranging, comprehensive, concise, and readable introduction to the field of Islam in Southeast Asia. With specific themes of pertinent contemporary relevance, the contributions by experts in the field provide fresh insights into the roles of states, societies, scholars, social movements, political parties, economic institutions, sacred sites, and other forces that structured the faith over many centuries. The handbook is structured in three parts: Muslim Global Circulations Marginal Narratives Refashioning Pieties This handbook stands out as a single and synergistic reference work that explores the ebb and flow of Islam seeking to decenter many existing assumptions about it in Southeast Asia. It will be an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and policymakers working on Islam, Muslims, and their interactions with other communities in a plural setting.

  • Pages : 582 pages

Download or read book Javanese Culture written by Koentjaraningrat and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It presents the general historical background to Javanese society and culture and then covers in detail the various facets of Javanese peasant life, urban culture and Javanese values and beliefs. The chapter on Javanese religion in particular analyses the complex of elements which go to make up Javanese beliefs in a unique and original manner. The study is the fruit of a lifetime devoted to the subject and the condensation of the writer's many other writings in the field, of which he is a leading authority.
