The book analyzes recent changes in Bali in the field of politics, religion, and identity politics and concentrates on the impact of regional autonomy and democracy. The Indonesian island of Bali depends on the outside world for tourists, capital, and cheap labor, but the island's people feel threatened by external forces (powerful investors, Western decadence, Islam). Schulte Nordholt describes the effects of decentralization and democratization on life and politics on the island, and the efforts of urban intellectuals to maintain and reinforce a Balinese identity. In discussing events over the past decade, the author considers caste and power relations at provincial, district, and village levels, the role of criminal gangs and violent conflict, and the workings of local democracy.
This is an open access book. Research and teaching activities in the fields of language, literature and culture are still being carried out even during the Covid -19 era that hit the world. It is undeniable that the results of research and learning of language, literature and culture at this time were a bit hindered because most activities were carried out from home. During the Covid-19 period, which started in early 2020, practically more activities were done at home. Likewise, institutions during the Covid-19 era were carried out online. For example, the Language Agency continues to carry out activities, but it is carried out online, such as online webinars that contribute to the wider com...
For decades almost the only social scientists who visited Indonesia’s provinces were anthropologists. Anybody interested in politics or economics spent most of their time in Jakarta, where the action was. Our view of the world’s fourth largest country threatened to become simplistic, lacking that essential graininess. Then, in 1998, Indonesia was plunged into a crisis that could not be understood with simplistic tools. After 32 years of enforced stability, the New Order was at an end. Things began to happen in the provinces that no one was prepared for. Democratization was one, decentralization another. Ethnic and religious identities emerged that had lain buried under the blanket of the...
Ada tiga hal menarik dalam buku ini. Pertama, buku ini menjabarkan tentang subak sebagai warisan kebudayaan agraris khas Pulau Bali. Penjabaran ini menjadi lebih unik lagi karena dikaitkan dengan Desa Taro, yang menurut cerita rakyat adalah desa pertama di mana sistem subak berasal. Keunikan ketiga dalam buku ini adalah mengenai komoditas yang diunggulkan, yakni jahe. Ini menjadi menarik karena subak pada umumnya terkait dengan pembagian air di lahan basah, sedangkan jahe bukanlah tanaman lahan basah. Meskipun menitikberatkan pada strategi komunikasi bagi menyuluh pertanian terha-dap para petani, buku ini memberikan kilas-an mengenai situasi terkini subak di tanah asalnya, di desa tua Taro, di mana Rsi Markandeya kali pertama bermukim di Bali. Tak hanya bagi para akademisi, hasil peneli-tian ini berguna pula bagi penyuluh pertanian dalam mengembangkan strategi komunikasi penyuluhan yang efektif dan sesuai dengan tingkat pemahaman masya-rakat petani. Penyuluhan yang efektif akan berkontribusi dalam peningkatan kualitas dan kuantitas hasil pertanian.
