Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Kecak is one of the most well-known dramatic dance performance practices on Bali. It is based on stories from the Old-Indian epic Ramayana, performed by an ensemble of male and female solo dancers and accompanied by a group consisting of approximately 100 men, who function both as musical accompaniment and living scenery that can be flexibly choreographed. Since its genesis in the 1930s the Kecak has been almost solely performed in a tourist context. This book gives a thorough analysis and description of the Kecak in its present form and explores how the Kecak became and stayed a tourist genre for more than 80 years. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the Kecak in its present form, including musical, choreographic, and dramatic elements.

Book Synopsis Bali and Beyond by : Shinji Yamashita
Download or read book Bali and Beyond written by Shinji Yamashita and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...a succinct and thoughtful description and analysis of the development and haracter of Bali's 'touristic culture'...this is an excellent book for a student readerhip. It renders in straightforward language some quite difficult concepts." - Anthropos "This well-written, readable, and concise book forms an excellent introduction to the relationship between culture and tourism." - Focaal "...there is much to enjoy in this book; the writing is uncomplicated, lively and engaging: the conclusions are both daring and thought-provoking. Above all, thee is the author's readiness to engage with cross-cultural comparison in a theoretically driven and explicit way." - Social Anthropology Based on field research carried out over two decades, the author surveys the development of the anthropology of tourism and its significance, using case studies drawn from Indonesia, New Guinea and Japan. He argues that tourism, once seen as rather peripheral by anthropologists, has to be treated as a phenomenon of major importance, both because the size of the flows of people and capital involved, and because it is one of the major sites in which the meeting and hybridization of culture takes place. Tourism, he suggests, leads not to the destruction of local cultures, as many critics have implied, but rather to the emergence of new cultural forms. The central part of the book presents a detailed case-study of the island of Bali in Indonesia. It traces the development of tourism there during the colonial period, and the ways in which "Balinese traditional culture" was developed first by western artists and scholars in the colonial period, and more recently by Balinese government officials in the guise of "cultural tourism." The general theme of the "presentation of tradition" is also discussed in relation to Toraja funerals in the Indonesian province of Sulawesi, western visitors to the Sepik River in Papua-New-Guinea, and the small city of Tono in northern Japan which has become a center for the study of folk-lore.

Book Synopsis Brown Boys and Rice Queens by : Eng-Beng Lim
Download or read book Brown Boys and Rice Queens written by Eng-Beng Lim and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention for the 2015 Cultural Studies Best Book presented by the Association of Asian American Studies Winner of the 2013 CLAGS Fellowship Award for Best First Book Project in LGBT Studies A transnational study of Asian performance shaped by the homoerotics of orientalism, Brown Boys and Rice Queens focuses on the relationship between the white man and the native boy. Eng-Beng Lim unpacks this as the central trope for understanding colonial and cultural encounters in 20th and 21st century Asia and its diaspora. Using the native boy as a critical guide, Lim formulates alternative readings of a traditional Balinese ritual, postcolonial Anglophone theatre in Singapore, and performance art in Asian America. Tracing the transnational formation of the native boy as racial fetish object across the last century, Lim follows this figure as he is passed from the hands of the colonial empire to the postcolonial nation-state to neoliberal globalization. Read through such figurations, the traffic in native boys among white men serves as an allegory of an infantilized and emasculated Asia, subordinate before colonial whiteness and modernity. Pushing further, Lim addresses the critical paradox of this entrenched relationship that resides even within queer theory itself by formulating critical interventions around “Asian performance.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Peoples / Nations, grade: Good, La Trobe University Melbourne (Sociology), course: Development, Globalisation and Culture, 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: To be in a paradise which is exotic, strange, with amazing landscapes and people who are not affected by corrupted society, is the main reason for tourists to visit foreign countries. However, the questions is, if increasing tourism would be an advantage or a disadvantage for the potential host country, and how tourism affects the economy, society, the and the local environment. International tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy and represents profitability for the visiting country and positively impacts the economy. The question is, whether the economic advantage compensates the damage, which is inflicted to the society, environment and the culture by the tourists.

Book Synopsis Tourism Recovery Based on Digital Nomadism Post-COVID-19 in Ubud Bali by : Fransisco Situmorang
Download or read book Tourism Recovery Based on Digital Nomadism Post-COVID-19 in Ubud Bali written by Fransisco Situmorang and published by Syiah Kuala University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic is the worst crisis and historical record for the global tourism sector since the 1950s. Destinations that rely heavily on the tourism sector will face this pandemic’s extraordinary impact, such as Bali, which experienced a significant depreciation of economic growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is also the right opportunity and momentum to redesign tourism development more sustainable to overcome the overtourism issue in Bali. Tourism recovery efforts must be carried out immediately by prioritizing product diversification and increasing destinations’ value and quality according to tourism development trends, such as digital nomadism. Digital nomadism as a lifestyle allows individuals to work regardless of location and take advantage of that freedom to travel worldwide. The practice of digital nomadism has developed rapidly pre-pandemic in the Ubud Tourism Area, Bali, and it will increase further due to the digital transformation of human life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ubud Tourism Area recovery as a digital nomadism destination must be a priority consideration by the government, tourism entrepreneurs and local communities in entering the post-normal tourism period.

Book Synopsis Music on the Move by : Danielle Fosler-Lussier
Download or read book Music on the Move written by Danielle Fosler-Lussier and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is a mobile art. When people move to faraway places, whether by choice or by force, they bring their music along. Music creates a meaningful point of contact for individuals and for groups; it can encourage curiosity and foster understanding; and it can preserve a sense of identity and comfort in an unfamiliar or hostile environment. As music crosses cultural, linguistic, and political boundaries, it continually changes. While human mobility and mediation have always shaped music-making, our current era of digital connectedness introduces new creative opportunities and inspiration even as it extends concerns about issues such as copyright infringement and cultural appropriation. With its innovative multimodal approach, Music on the Move invites readers to listen and engage with many different types of music as they read. The text introduces a variety of concepts related to music’s travels—with or without its makers—including colonialism, migration, diaspora, mediation, propaganda, copyright, and hybridity. The case studies represent a variety of musical genres and styles, Western and non-Western, concert music, traditional music, and popular music. Highly accessible, jargon-free, and media-rich, Music on the Move is suitable for students as well as general-interest readers.
