Abstract

Conducting cremation ceremony (ngaben) in crematorium among Balinese Hindus is relatively a new phenomenon, pioneered by Maha Gotra Pasek Sanak Sapta Rsi, the biggest maxima-clan in Bali. This maxima-clan constructed a crematorium called Santhayana in 2008. The number of cremation ceremony conducted in Crematorium Santhayana increases over time, mainly due to the practical values and efficiency, compared to conducting the ceremony conventionally in one’s own village. The more affordable cost and the less intensive communication with the village of origin are yet additional reasons, especially for those residing outside Bali. By employing participant-observation and in-depth interviews in data collection, analysed qualitative-interpretively, this research confirmed Giddens’ Structuration theory, that as duality, structure is both constraining and enabling the actors. On the other hand, actors’ patterned activities will develop new structure. However, it is interesting in the case of cremation in crematorium Santhayana, that the transformation toward modernity is by making use of traditional reference, i.e. old lontar, named Yama Purana Tatwa.

Abstract

Taking a mutualistic perspective, this article discussesthe role of tourism as a vehicle for the preservation of thesubak, and, conversely, the cultural aspects of the subakas a capital base for tourism. Tourism is a cornerstonein the development of Bali, and, due to several positivecharacteristics, such as its resilience in the face of crises, thebenefits from tourism reach all levels of society. For Bali,the data indicate that 34% of the labor force is employedin this sector, and approximately 52% of Balinese people’sincome has connection to tourism. Its role in generatingthe GDP and PAD (Pendapatan Asli Daerah, or localrevenue) is also very large, which allows the regionaland city governments to implement various developmentinitiatives. The basic capital of Bali’s tourism developmentis culture, especially culture based on agriculture. Because‘rice culture’ is so central to many aspects of Balineseculture, then indeed the basic capital of Balinese tourism isrice culture or subak culture. This article argues that trulytourism has great potential as a vehicle for the preservationof the subak, because tourism could become the market thatsupports agricultural products. There is also the potentialfor developing various types of agriculture-based tourism,such as ecotourism and agro-tourism. Thus, the approachto considering the relationship between agriculture (subak)and tourism should be mutualistic, not dichotomous.
