It is where fire and water meets, and a place which keeps the family fed and happy.Each painting is a vivid snapshot of Sadu’s childhood home in Sayan, a village west of Ubud. Currently he lives in his own house not far from it with his wife, who is Japanese, and their 2 children. In Sadu’s family home, his elderly parents have a traditional paon or kitchen which is designed to be used for communal and wood-fire cooking. Sadu reminisce that it is the kitchen they have inherited from his grandmother, and although it’s been renovated, the firewood stove and traditional kitchen tools, like in the paining ‘Topo‘ which is a traditional woven water filter, is still being used.Listening to Sadu talk about each painting and its subject matter, they represent his pride towards Balinese ingenuity. He commemorates these traditional innovations and honor them through his paintings.

Mark Hobart + (The Imaginary of Bali as paradise stands i … The Imaginary of Bali as paradise stands in stark contrast to what is actually going on. To understand the split requires examining who is authorized to represent Bali as what under what conditions. The issue concerns the nature of argument – whether argumentation and disagreement – and how it disarticulates and marginalize alternatives. The preferred, hegemonic style of argument in Bali is monologue, favoured by those in power, which effectively anticipates and prevents contradiction. By contrast, dialogue is open, democratic and widespread in daily life, but often passes relatively unnoticed. Whereas dialogue enables discussion and problem-solving, monologue re-asserts ideology in the face of uncomfortable actualities. In Bali, the form ideology takes centres on fantasies about an imaginary ‘age-old culture’. The drawbacks are evident in how claims over the cultural antiquity of Tri Hita Karana disguise its grave shortcomings in practice.sguise its grave shortcomings in practice.)

The tale has manifested into large ceremonial male and female figurines called ‘Jero Gede’ and ‘Jero Luh’.A broad, grinning expression immediately draws us to ‘Jero Gede’. To his right, his wife’s face appears to be embellished with a grey beard. A gold and black aura hovers over the couple framed by Chinese and Balinese dragons united as one. Bali’s volcanic skyline, bulbous cloud motifs in pastel tones, water motifs, both reinterpretations of the classical icons, and lotus flowers and leaves describe the background.

These gamelan have been preserved as essential implements of local ritual-music associations that have protected them from change for generations. In contrast, much of the rest of the island abandoned gong gede in the early twentieth century in favor of modern gamelan. Inseparable from its highland ritual context, gong gede endure in Bali’s remote highlands because they are inseparable from ritual context, which has resulted in musical diversity within the broader ecosystem of Balinese music. This diversity simultaneously marginalizes communities to some degree from mainstream musical innovation. However, it also empowers local ritual music associations within sophisticated social networks that play a major role in protecting and preserving these ancient antique orchestras. Using a ‘pluralism of musical structures’ as an analytical framework for discussing musical diversity, this article looks at how highland communities protect and maintain gong gede as ‘living traditions’ by examining their history, social context and musical style to see what keeps local traditions from succumbing to mainstream musical trends.m succumbing to mainstream musical trends.)

Although kebudayaan dismisses ordinary people as stupid masses, they often escape the ideological straitjacket of kebudayaan by just getting on with culture as everyday life. getting on with culture as everyday life.)

In Balinese patriarchal society, women are disadvantaged in terms of their access to employment and commonly earn less than men. When a marriage ends, Balinese widows and divorcees not only lose their partners but also an important source of family income. Janda may need to take on additional burdens in supporting themselves and their families and are therefore economically vulnerable. In addition, janda are often considered to be sexually available, may be the target of men’s sexual advances and thus become a frequent source of gossip. The dual state-village administrative system further complicates divorce and remarriage within Balinese patriarchal society. In order to understand how Balinese janda cope with these social and cultural constraints, this article focuses on the contrasting life histories of three janda. Deploying Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital, the analysis demonstrates that access to multiple forms of capital plays an important role in enabling Balinese janda to make their lives bearable and manageable. With adequate access to economic resources, janda can not only demonstrate their independence and ability to support their children, but also are able to meet their social and religious obligations. In this way they can maintain their respectability and social acceptance within their local communities. These findings contribute to a wider and more complex picture of the life of Balinese janda.lex picture of the life of Balinese janda.)

The conclusion is the gods have nothing to do with natural disasters,” concludes I Wayan.Everyone nods.

Otherwise, it’s no use the gods giving us brain.”“So hairy caterpillar epidemic has nothing to do with the gods.”“I would think that this epidemic has been caused by extinction of birds and ants (less and less predators that prey on hairy caterpillars). Or the hairy caterpillar might not be aware of “family planning”; and as it has been raining recently, they breed very fast,” says I Wayan.Were the caterpillars be human, they would know KB (Family Planning program), and how expensive education and health insurance is, there were bills to pay, hence they would think twice before breeding; knowing how expensive life is.“Well, no matter how bad the hairy caterpillar epidemic is, don’t they know that caterpillars will turn into beautiful butterflies or produce expensive silk.“No matter how destructive the caterpillars are, they are much better than bad people.

Thomas Wright + (Water plays an important role in Balinese … Water plays an important role in Balinese society. Not only is it commonly featured in Balinese Hindu rituals, but its use and management also enables prosperity through rice cultivation. While these aspects of water have been discussed in many academic and non-academic publications, qualitative understandings of relations to seawater remain somewhat unexplored in the literature. The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary review of existing literature on water and marine environments in Bali, and argue the need for further qualitative social scientific understanding of contemporary Balinese relations to seawater. A discussion of existing research on ocean-centred communities and continued tourism development in Bali’s coastal areas is intended to add to current research in Balinese studies. By presenting literature on Balinese concepts of environment, water and the ocean, this paper seeks to highlight the benefits of continued research on perceptions of environment to discussions of pollution, water scarcity and resource management. Although maritime attractions such as the temples at Tanah Lot and Uluwatu as well as several popular beach communities play a significant role in the tourism industry, this paper suggests the need to further investigate the importance of these attractions to tourists and Balinese as well as the social interpretations associated with them.cial interpretations associated with them.)

These facts have highlighted open problem to prolong the lifetime of sensor nodes while still maintaining the functional roles of WSN in reporting important events to a base station. These papers propose an approach for WSN inspired by the concept of immunity-based system where a set of reactions is performed in the appearance of nonself substances called syndromes. The notion of reactive cluster is introduced where only sensor nodes affected by the syndrome appearances need to perform reactions by establishing clusters among them. Since communication costs significant energy, each sensor nodes as an immune cell need to reduce impacts of the syndromes for itself and other sensor nodes in the routing paths to the sink node. It is done establishing adaptive data aggregation strategies. Depend on the critical level of the corresponding syndrome and error of wireless communications that may occur, the length of the aggregation window is adjusted. We show that the proposed approach shows promising results in minimizing dead sensor nodes, avoiding network congestion while still maintaining the functional roles of WSN in reporting important events to the sink node.porting important events to the sink node.)

The picture describes a young man in a traditional headdress holding a plastic flower arrangement, partially obscuring his face. Artificial light sparkles upon the flower and highlights his left shoulder, while a dark shadow defines the right. Juxtaposing dark and light with the old and new, Gung Ama creates a fascinating aesthetic collision with strong visual tension. The subject’s eyes are hidden, concealing his identity while his mouth is expressionless, adding to the intrigue. Highly suggestive, the image has a remarkable power to trigger multiple interpretations within our imagination.Review by Richard Horstmanr imagination. Review by Richard Horstman)
