Tales From a Charmed Life
Tales from a Charmed Life is the last in a trilogy of works by Hildred Geertz exploring the complexity of Balinese history, religion, and society. A landmark study by one of the most distinguished anthropologists of Indonesia, it centers around the stories and paintings of Ida Bagus Madé Togog (1913–1989), an artist and ritual specialist who played a significant role in the history of Balinese ethnography. In the 1930s, Togog was central to Mead and Bateson’s pioneering studies of "Balinese character" and came under the influence of expatriate artists Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet to emerge as a major representative of the Batuan style of painting. Togog’s art and anecdotal stories o...
The Life of a Balinese Temple
Should a temple be seen as a work of art, its carvers as artists, its worshipers as art critics and patrons? What is a temple (and its art) to the people who make and use it? Noted anthropologist Hildred Geertz attempts to answer these and other questions in this unique look at transformations in material culture and social relations over time in a village temple in Bali. Throughout Geertz offers insightful glimpses into what the statues, structures, and designs of Pura Désa Batuan convey to those who worship there, deepening our understanding of how a village community evaluates workmanship and imagery. Following an introduction to the temple and villagers of Batuan, Geertz explores the pr...

Storytelling in Bali
In Storytelling in Bali, Hildred Geertz makes a case for the importance of the role of informal storytelling as an engine of social change in Bali in the 1930s. This is a study of more than 200 texts dictated by the painters of the village of Batuan in 1936 to the anthropologist Gregory Bateson. It is completed by three years field work in Batuan in the 1980s. The tales reveal a set of strong ambivalences about the magical powers of kings, priests and sorcerers, and about social strains within villages and families. These narratives were related in the daily settings of home and coffee shop and also in the spectacular dance-dramas of the time.
Fluid Iron
Fluid Iron is the first extended treatment of state formation in Southeast Asia from early to contemporary times and the first book-length analysis of Western historical and ethnographic writing on the region. It includes critical assessments of the work of Clifford Geertz, O.W. Wolters, Benedict Anderson, and other major scholars who have written on early, colonial, and modern Southeast Asian history and culture. Making use of the ideas of Weber, Marx, Foucault, and postmodern and postcolonial theory, Tony Day argues that culture must be restored to the study of Southeast Asian history so that the state and historical developments in the region can be returned to their own "alternative" his...
Arie Smit, Hikayat Luar Biasa Tentara Penembak Cahaya
Ini hikayat yang romantik sekaligus mengerikan: tentang pelukis terkenal Arie Smit (1916-2016) yang hidup dengan luar biasa selama 100 tahun. Di tengah kehidupan nan kaya di Zaandam, Belanda, Arie tiba-tiba diberang-katkan ke Indonesia sebagai tentara. Ketika Jepang menguasai Indonesia, Arie ditangkap dan dijebloskan ke dalam penjara yang dibangun nya sendiri. Arie lalu dijadikan romusa untuk kerja paksa membangun Jembatan Kwai di Burma. Ketika Jepang kalah dalam Perang Dunia II, dan Indonesia merdeka 1945, ia ikut bergembira. Ia sudah sangat cinta Indonesia. Namun Belanda memerintahkan Arie untuk kembali ke medan perang, melakukan Aksi Pendudukan! Di Bali, Arie menjalani kehidupan kesenimanannya yang aneh: blusukan ke mana-mana, dan jadi pencuri cahaya matahari. Apa maksudnya? Mengapa ia terus berpindah sampai 39 kali? Mengapa ia sangat dihormati sehingga dipanggil “Tuan Ari”? Mengapa lukisannya bisa begitu mahal sehingga dihargai per sentimeter persegi? Disusun oleh Agus Dermawan T, kritikus seni penerima berbagai penghargaan karya tulis.
