      Abstract


      In English

      In Bali: 50 Years of Changes: A Conversation with Jean Couteau, Eric Buvelot and Jean Couteau have produced an intricate, sweeping, and controversial picture of Balinese consciousness, social patterns, and religious life, as well as Bali’s place within the national framework of Indonesia. It is doubtless the most ambitious attempt to present a holistic view of the island since Fred Eiseman, Jr.’s Bali: Sekala and Niskala (1990), or Adrian Vickers’ Bali: A Paradise Created (1989). Yet this is not a historical narrative, or the culmination of years of comprehensive research on a particular topic. Instead we find a series of transcribed conversations between two expatriates: Buvelot, a journalist based on the island since 1995, and Couteau, a renowned writer, social observer and commentator intimately involved with Bali since the 1970s.

Tan sumbangsaye malih, puniki marupa utsaha sane pinih kainggilang mangdennye prasida misuguhang pangaksi ngeninin nusa sane sajangkepnyane sasukat Fred Eiseman, Jr s Bali : Sekala lan Niskala 1990 , utawi Adrian Vickers Bali : A Paradise Created 1989 . Nanging pakarya puniki nenten marupa narasi sejarah,utawi puncuk panyuratan sejangkepne makudang kudang warsa ngeninin separiindikan sane wenten. Katimbang sekadi kapanggihin transkrip widia tula ekpatriat sareng kalih, Buvelot pinaka jurnalis sane jenek ring Wadingan punika ngawit saking 1995, lan couteau pinaka pangripta, pinuleng sosial lan komentator kasub sane jenek ring Bali ngawit warsa 1970.

      In Indonesian

      Bali: 50 Years of Changes: A Conversation with Jean Couteau, Eric Buvelot dan Jean Couteau telah menghasilkan gambaran yang rumit, menyapu, dan kontroversial tentang kesadaran, pola sosial, dan kehidupan keagamaan Bali, serta posisi Bali dalam kerangka nasional Indonesia. Tidak diragukan lagi, ini adalah upaya paling ambisius untuk menyajikan pemandangan pulau yang holistik sejak Fred Eiseman, Jr.'s Bali: Sekala and Niskala (1990), atau Adrian Vickers' Bali: A Paradise Created (1989). Namun karya ini bukanlah narasi sejarah, atau puncak dari penelitian komprehensif bertahun-tahun tentang topik tertentu. Alih-alih, kami menemukan serangkaian transkrip percakapan antara dua ekspatriat: Buvelot, seorang jurnalis yang tinggal di pulau itu sejak 1995, dan Couteau, seorang penulis, pengamat sosial, dan komentator terkenal yang terlibat erat dengan Bali sejak 1970-an.
