Book Synopsis Power Plays by : Andrew Noah Weintraub
Download or read book Power Plays written by Andrew Noah Weintraub and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on ethnographic fieldwork spanning twenty years, Power Plays is the first scholarly book in English on wayang golek, the Sundanese rod-puppet theater of West Java. It is a detailed and lively account of the ways in which performers of this major Asian theatrical form have engaged with political discourses in Indonesia. Wayang golek has shaped, as well, the technological and commercial conditions of art and performance in a modernizing society. Using interviews with performers, musical transcriptions, translations of narrative and song texts, and archival materials, author Andrew N. Weintraub analyzes the shifting and flexible nature of a set of performance practices called Padalangan, the art of the puppeteer. He focuses on "superstar" performers and the musical troupes that dominated wayang golek during the New Order political regime of former president Suharto (1966-98) and the ensuing three years of the post-Suharto period. Studies of actual performances illuminate stylistic and formal elements and situate wayang golek as a social process in Sundanese culture and society. Power Plays includes an interactive multimedia CD-ROM of wayang golek. Power Plays shows how meanings about identity, citizenship, and community are produced through theater, music, language, and discourse. While based in ethnographic theory and methods, this book is at the center of a new synthesis emerging among ethnomusicology, anthropology, and cultural studies. Its cross-disciplinary approach will inspire researchers studying similar struggles over cultural authority and popular representation in culture and the performing arts.

Book Synopsis Engineering Design and Analysis in the Art of Wayang Kulit by : Gea O.F Parikesit
Download or read book Engineering Design and Analysis in the Art of Wayang Kulit written by Gea O.F Parikesit and published by UGM PRESS. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is divided into three main parts and an epilogue. The first part of the book provides a context for the readers to understand the underlying background of our work. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview about wayang kulit, whereas second chapter introduces the field of digital humanities that has particularly touched the art of wayang kulit. The second part of the book is focused on the engineering design in wayang kulit, particularly related to the methods we developed to display 3D shadow images. The third chapter qualitatively explains the phenomenon of colour-based stereoscopic shadows, which form the basis of 3D shadow images. In the fourth chapter we start to describe quantitatively the optical methods to synthesize the 3D shadow images. In the fifth chapter, we share our experiences from two art exhibitions, i.e. the Jogja ArtWeeks in 2015 and the 'Wayang and New Technology' in Tembi Rumah Budaya in 2016. The sixth chapter explores the quantitative methods to digitally synthesize the 3D shadow images, which opens up new possibilities in art performances, where dhalangs can combine real and virtual 3D shadow images. The third part of the book is focused on the engineering analysis in wayang kulit. In the seventh chapter, we start with the analysis of the puppet shapes. Afterwards, in the eighth chapter we use the 3D shadow images described in Chapters 3–6 to quantitatively measure the pose of the puppets. The same method can also be extended to analyse the puppet movements, which is explained in the ninth chapter. This quantitative analysis of the puppet movements is a continuation of the research pioneered by Prof. Roger A. Long in 1979, on the puppet movements in the Ngayogyakarta wayang kulit. Meanwhile, in the tenth chapter, we analyse the audiovisual patterns in wayang kulit performances. These patterns may become relevant, not only for engineers who are interested in developing interactive artworks, but also for scholars in the field of digital humanities who are interested to investigate the change of wayang kulit performances over space and time.

Book Synopsis Javanese Wayang Kulit by : Edward C. Van Ness
Download or read book Javanese Wayang Kulit written by Edward C. Van Ness and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1980 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An effective police force is critical to countering insurgency. In Pakistan, an understaffed and underequipped police force is increasingly called on to manage rising insecurity and militant violence. This report evaluates the obstacles to upgrading the existing police system and recommends traditional and innovative reform options, including major restructuring of the total civilian law enforcement infrastructure, without which the police force cannot be effectively improved. Because Pakistan's police capacity has direct implications for the country's ability to tackle terrorism, the United States and its allies would realize counterterrorism dividends by helping law enforcement efforts through modern training and technical assistance.
Book Synopsis The Wayang Kulit character "Arjuna" in the play "Lakon Makutha Rama. The perang". Examination of the shadow puppet’s shapes and movements by :
Download or read book The Wayang Kulit character "Arjuna" in the play "Lakon Makutha Rama. The perang". Examination of the shadow puppet’s shapes and movements written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-University Paper from the year 2013 in the subject Theater Studies, Dance, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: At first sight it seems obvious that movements and shapes are important for characterizing the personality of a Wayang Kulit puppet in shadow theatre, in the further development of the essay it turned out to an even more complex and detailed arrangement. There is a deeper meaning behind the performance, created in specified details in the movements and shapes of Arjuna. So, in what way do the shadow puppets` shapes and movements support the characterization of the Wayang Kulit character “Arjuna” in the play “Lakon Makutha Rama - The perang”? The essay shows in which way it is possible to understand the characters of Wayang Kulit figures from an Indonesian view. Indonesians learn about the traditional meanings of the puppets’ features from the beginning of their childhood on people in the western world, however, often do not even notice the small details and what they mean, such as the shape of the puppets’ eyes and the extraordinary hairstyle. Arjuna’s features regarding his outward appearance as well as his behavior represent perfection. In order to reflect on his specific abilities, attitudes as a fighter and royal figure, it is sensible to take a closer look at the play “Lakon Makutha Rama - The perang”. In the further development, it turned out to make most sense to analyze a battle scene in which Arjuna focuses on his enemy and where the precision of his movements play an essential role for the understanding of the personality of the characters on the one side and the meaning of the entire play on the other side. Thereby, Arjuna’s refined strategy becomes evident and a lot of movements are needed to finally win the fight, which highlight his characteristics as well as the shapes of his shadow.
Book Synopsis Voices of the Puppet Masters by : Mimi Herbert
Download or read book Voices of the Puppet Masters written by Mimi Herbert and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Indonesia's wayang golek puppet theater is among the world's oldest and richest puppetry traditions, contemporary with Japanese Noh drama and the mystery plays of Europe. The puppet masters, many of whom trace their skills back through seven or eight generations, are extraordinary artists. Some are shamans, and many are charismatic performers. The master carvers who create these three-dimensional wooden puppets boast similarly impressive genealogies, and their work draws equally on ancient mystical practices. As the puppet master Tizar Purbaya once explained, "The wayang puppet is not a doll. It follows the dalang [puppet master], but the dalang must also follow it. He gives it soul and it, in return, gives life to him."" "Voices of the Puppet Masters is based on five years of intensive research in Indonesia, including hundreds of hours of discussions and interviews with puppet masters and craftsmen. The author and her Indonesian collaborator visited the artists in their homes, in villages scattered across the length and breadth of Java, attending performances, and even participating in an exorcism ceremony. These performances typically last for many hours, sometimes through the night - theatrical extravaganzas blending religious mysticism with all of the frailties and strengths of the human condition, accompanied by song and a gamelan orchestra"--Publisher's description.
