The dramatic genre of the horse dance (jaranan) is part of an age-old Javanese tradition displaying wide local and regional variations. A striking feature of the performances of the majority of horse dance groups is the appearance of trance dancers. These are used as a means of establishing contact with the spirits of the ancestors, who continue to play an important part in the lives of their descendants as moral beacons in the solution of problems and the fulfillment of wishes. As a consequence of the modernization of society in almost every aspect of life, vigorously propagated as it was by the Suharto regime in the period 1966-1998, the trance in horse dancing has been strongly discouraged as an anachronism. This has prompted a search for new ways of preserving this dramatic genre for future generations. The way the administration of Kediri and a number of local horse dance companies set about solving this problem constitutes a dominant theme of this book. To bring the phenomenon of the horse dance in Java into sharper focus, a brief account is given of its history, as well as a description of the great variety of horse dance groups of and a range of aspects of this genre.

Silke Schwarz widmet sich der umstrittenen Frage nach Gendergerechtigkeit. Der transdisziplinäre Theorieteil verknüpft gängige Theorien sozialen Wandels aus den Bereichen Soziologie, Gender Studies und Psychologie und schließt mit einer Ethnographie indonesischer Genderverhältnisse. Im Ergebnisteil analysiert die Autorin mittels einer methodischen Triangulation, wie die eigene Rolle und psychische Identität innerhalb von Partnerschaft, Elternschaft, dem Erwerbsleben und der Gemeinde, also wie Subjektivität in einem zentraljavanischen Dorf erlebt wird, wie eine Positionierung im Alltag erfolgt und Anerkennung und Teilhabe erlebt bzw. gewonnen werden. Das Buch ist durchzogen von immer wieder aufgenommenen kritischen Reflexionen des eigenen Vorgehens als integraler Bestandteil bei Fragen nach Gerechtigkeit in transkulturellen, islamisch geprägten Kontexten.
