The Seen and Unseen Worlds in Java, 1726-1749
An original and deeply researched work on a key period of Javanese history, by a world expert.
RASA
The complex notion of "rasa," as understood by Javanese musicians, refers to a combination of various qualities, including: taste, feeling, affect, mood, sense, inner meaning, a faculty of knowing intuitively, and deep understanding. This leaves us with a number of questions: how is rasa expressed musically? Who or what has rasa, and what sorts of musical, psychological, perceptual, and sociological distinctions enter into this determination? How is the vocabulary of rasa structured, and what does this tell us about traditional Javanese music and aesthetics? In this first book on the subject, Rasa provides an entry into Javanese music as it is conceived by the people who know the tradition b...
Soul Catcher
Mangkunagara I (1726-95) was one of the most flamboyant figures of 18th-century Java. A charismatic rebel from 1740 to 1757 and one of the foremost military commanders of his age, he won the loyalty of many followers. He was also a devout Muslim of the Mystic Synthesis style, a devotee of Javanese culture and a lover of beautiful women and Dutch gin. His enemies—the Surakarta court, his uncle the rebel and later Sultan Mangkubumi of Yogyakarta and the Dutch East India Company—were unable to subdue him, even when they united against him. In 1757 he settled as a semi-independent prince in Surakarta, pursuing his objective of as much independence as possible by means other than war, a frustrating time for a man who was a fighter to his fingertips. Professor Ricklefs here employs an extraordinary range of sources in Dutch and Javanese—among them Mangkunagara I’s voluminous autobiographical account of his years at war, the earliest autobiography in Javanese so far known—to bring this important figure to life. As he does so, our understanding of Java’s devastating civil war of the mid-18th century is transformed and much light is shed on Islam and culture in Java.
Filosofi Rumah Jawa
Banyak penggambaran sosok orang Jawa adalah orang yang sederhana, tidak memikirkan kenyamanan dalam kehidupannya. Urip mung mampir ngombe (hidup hanya untuk mampir minum) dalam arti hidup hanya sesaat di dunia, sehingga seolah-olah orang Jawa tidak peduli dengan kebendaan dan segala yang menjadi kesukaan duniawi. Anggapan itu ternyata keliru, seorang lelaki Jawa dianggap sempurna hidupnya jika sudah memiliki 5 syarat yaitu wisma (rumah), turangga (kuda), kukila (burung), wanodya (wanita) dan curiga (keris). Orang jawa memiliki pandangan hidup kejawen, sehingga pandangan hidup orang Jawa juga memengaruhi gaya hidup atau kesempurnaan hidup menurut orang Jawa. Segala laku atau tindakan orang Ja...
