| Scope and content |
This collection of 26 documents, all in English, covers a variety of cultural and socioeconomic information during two widely contrasting historical periods. The first is the period prior to the Japanese occupation in 1942 when Bali was part of the Netherlands East Indies colony. The second is the period from 1940s to early 2000s in which the Balinese, as citizens of the newly founded Indonesian Republic, witnessed political violence and rapid economic transformation. Materials from the first period consist of seventeen documents. Fourteen of these were originally published in a large volume titled Bali: Studies in Life, Thought, and Ritual. The contributors were all employees of the colonial government (with professional training in social science, theology and public administration) who lived in Bali, circa. 1913 -1940. The focus of these works include patterns of Balinese life and society, religion and organization of village community, organization of temples, major holidays, festivals and celebrations, irrigation and farming systems, and position of blacksmiths. Four of the remaining documents from this period were compiled by anthropologist Jane Belo who conducted fieldwork in Bali in 1931-1939 with the supervision and collaboration of Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson. Topics covered in Belo's works include religion and festivals, culture and personality and family life. The last document from this period provides detailed description of the Balinese landscape, family life, community structure, economic activities, and arts (including paintings, songs, dances, dramas, hair styles and clothing) as observed by a famous artist from New York who lived in the island in 1930-1933. Documents on the second period represent the works of professional anthropologists who conducted primary fieldwork in different parts of the Bali Island mostly in late 1950s and 1980s-1990s. Three of these documents are by anthropologist Clifford Geertz who discusses social structure and socioeconomic change at the village level. The collection also includes a book by Hildred and Clifford Geertz which regards kinship as an integral part of more inclusive cultural patterns and idioms through which the Balinese talk and understand their collective experience in a wide variety of social settings including the household, the community, the workplace, the temple, the market, the farm, the battlefields, the law of court, and the playing field. The last three documents supplement previous studies on Balinese by revisiting established debates relating to dynamics of kinship and class, role of temples in managing irrigation schemes, and gender issues in rice cultivation. |
