Download or read book Everyday Balinese written by I Gusti Made Sutjaja and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a concise and user-friendly guide to the Balinese language Everyday Balinese is targeted to anyone who wishes to learn to speak colloquial Balinese. There are 23 lessons in the book, each with a dialogue that centers around the Balinese daily life. These realistic beginner Balinese dialogues are a great way to learn Balinese as it is really spoken. The dialogue is presented twice: The first version representing the lumrah or common Balinese; the second the alus or refined Balinese. Both versions are exactly the same grammatically; the difference lies in the word choice. Lumrah or common words are used by participants of equal social status in a conversation, and it reflects intimacy and informality among the users. Alus or refined words are associated with distancing and formality among users in a conversation. Each lesson contains a section on the grammar an word function, as well as a list of words in both the lumrah and alus forms, followed by their Indonesian and English equivalents. Each lesson ends with a section on sentence construction--how to use the structures taught to make simple sentences. The book has a pronunciation guide at the front, and a section or greeting, ordinal numbers and a handy dictionary at the end. The dictionary is arranged alphabetically by Balinese, followed by their Indonesian and English equivalents.

Download or read book Balinese Architecture written by Julian Davison and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balinese style villas and resorts are popping up everywhere--from Ibiza to St Barts to Singapore. But what is Balinese architecture? And why is it so popular today? Traditional Balinese houses, temples and pavilions are designed to allow man to exist in harmony with the natural forces of the universe--reflecting core Balinese beliefs about man's place in relation to the cosmos, the gods, the ancestors, and the world around him. Innovative local and Western architects have been designing resorts and villas on Bali for decades, drawing their inspiration from these local traditions. In this one-of-a-kind book, author Julian Davison provides a comprehensive guide to Balinese architectural forms, the Balinese belief system, the rituals associated with building, the materials and construction techniques, and the intricate ornamentation used. Over 100 watercolor illustrations and photographs provide a clear picture of the island's architecture as well as an eye-opening look at a culture and a people that have captivated the world's imagination.
Download or read book Balinese Discourses on Music and Modernization written by Brita Renee Heimarck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many Western scholars have discussed the technical aspects of Balinese music or the traditional contexts for performance, little has been written in Western languages about Balinese discourses on their music. This dissertation seeks to understand the experience of music in Bali according to Balinese voices through an analysis of oral and written dialogues on music, mainly by musicians and dalangs (shadow play puppeteers) from the village of Sukawati, scholars, teachers, administrators and students from the Indonesian College of the Arts (STSI) in the City of Denpasar. The study examines the influence of modernization on the traditional arts and their role in society. A concentration on Balinese discourses enables individual performers and scholars to represent themselves to a greater extent than previously seen in ethnomusicological scholarship, making this study more of a critical discussion among equals than a Western interpretation of 'others'. This approach permits a rare view into contemporary Balinese conceptions and practices of music.

Download or read book Perfect Order written by J. Stephen Lansing and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along rivers in Bali, small groups of farmers meet regularly in water temples to manage their irrigation systems. They have done so for a thousand years. Over the centuries, water temple networks have expanded to manage the ecology of rice terraces at the scale of whole watersheds. Although each group focuses on its own problems, a global solution nonetheless emerges that optimizes irrigation flows for everyone. Did someone have to design Bali's water temple networks, or could they have emerged from a self-organizing process? Perfect Order--a groundbreaking work at the nexus of conservation, complexity theory, and anthropology--describes a series of fieldwork projects triggered by this question, ranging from the archaeology of the water temples to their ecological functions and their place in Balinese cosmology. Stephen Lansing shows that the temple networks are fragile, vulnerable to the cross-currents produced by competition among male descent groups. But the feminine rites of water temples mirror the farmers' awareness that when they act in unison, small miracles of order occur regularly, as the jewel-like perfection of the rice terraces produces general prosperity. Much of this is barely visible from within the horizons of Western social theory. The fruit of a decade of multidisciplinary research, this absorbing book shows that even as researchers probe the foundations of cooperation in the water temple networks, the very existence of the traditional farming techniques they represent is threatened by large-scale development projects.
Download or read book Practical Indonesian in a Week written by Restiany Achmad and published by Kesaint Blanc. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Indonesia! Indonesia is the home to approximately 240 million people, spread across more than 17,500 islands with at least 500 tribes, and more than 700 languages. With such diversity and a vast sea territory including many smaller islands, the Indonesian archipelago provides a rich and unique experience for you to explore. “Ladies and gentlemen, good morning... This is your opportunity,” said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in his speech during his first international diplomatic mission (APEC 2014). That pretty much reflects how we Indonesians want to open-up our country to you. In the past there have only been a limited number of resources available that provide a comprehensive, easy to use introduction to Indonesian language, and many of those efforts by foreign authors and publishers lack native insights and local cultural knowledge. Practical Indonesian in a Week was designed primarily to achieve these goals. First, the book was written by two smart and experienced Indonesian native expatriate tutors. Second, the book was designed using a structure that will help you to quickly understand the basics of Indonesian language and culture with plenty of practical examples. It has the same structure as the best-selling foreign language learning books published by Kesaint Blanc: The Praktis 1 Minggu series. The culture and language learning method that Practical Indonesian in a Week provides will be very helpful for you, say as an expatriate, a traveler, or even for short time visitors. It provides applicable information, useful vocabulary, practical conversation examples, daily grammar sections, and some exercises you can do to better understand the language. Nevertheless, its traveling & visiting themes will be a good companion for you while visiting the rich culture and Indonesia’s hospitable people. Practical Indonesian in a Week also provides an audio CD narrated by native speakers, so you can easily understand how to pronounce Indonesian words and expression provided by the book, not to mention getting yourself more acquainted to the new language sounds. Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country!
Download or read book Beyond the Realm of the Senses written by Raechelle Rubinstein and published by Brill. This book was released on 2000 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive study of the practice of "kekawin" composition in Bali. Based on field research and a diverse range of palm leaf texts, it explores Balinese perceptions of "kekawin" composition and demonstrates the nexus between religion and the writing of these poems. Like "kekawin" from ancient Java, Balinese "kekawin" have been conceived as a mystical means of unification with divinity, as temples of language. In the first part of the book Bali is shown to be a society of religious literacy, and alphabet magic and the religious beliefs that underpin literary activity are examined. The second part explores Balinese conceptions of the practice of "kekawin" composition as literary yoga. Both the priestly identity of poets and the act of composing as a religious ritual are considered. The final section investigates the craft of composition through texts that concern prosody, poetics and orthography: the "Canda," the "Bhasaprana" and the "Swarawyanjana."
