Abstract

After declared independent, Indonesia had to deal with the question of its national identity. It was pertaining to the debate on the national culture, particularly arts. As Indonesia had diverse traditional arts, the debate was a dilemma. Many people disagreed if the traditional arts became the national identity. Meanwhile, Indonesian traditional arts, especially Javanese and Balinese ones, had been appreciated abroad.

Until the beginning of the 1960s, Indonesia tended to be with the Eastern bloc. Subsequently, there was a tendency to be with the other bloc. Therefore, in this article the response to the Javanese and Balinese performing arts shows in the US after two eras was analyze.

Abstract

The Ethical Policy (1901) generated many intellectuals who were able to express their ideas and opinion of nationalism and opposition through written media. The colonial government felt restless and needed a sensor agency for the intellectual’s works. In 1908 the colonial government started to establish the Commission for People’s Reading which in 1917 changed to Balai Pustaka. This was the Dutch Colonial Government’s first publishing agency with privileged rights in the monopoly on the publishing and printing industries. Balai Pustaka also created a policy supporting a sensor function. This study aims at analyzing the implementation of Balai Pustaka’s function as the sensor agency for literary works in ensuring the colonial government’s social-political stability in Dutch East Indies. The critical historical method of political approach was employed in this research, especially in the scope of colonialism and political policy. The policy issued by Balai Pustaka consists of three forms, namely: preproduction, production and postproduction policies. The preproduction policy was in the form of Nota Rinkes containing rules of the content of script to be issued, corporate management policy, and recruitment. Production policy covers editing (modification and hyphenation) and control over scripts received by Balai Pustaka. Meanwhile, postproduction policy was in the form of distribution of script by establishing more Taman Pustaka, expanding sales agents, and performing mobile library program. Other than these, Balai Pustaka also actively sued publication which were not published by it and by idea and notion opposing the colonial government.

Abstract

This study argues the Mangkunegaran Arts Mission Visit to foreign countries in 1989 as an effort to contribute to Indonesia's national development. The mission which held in 1989, exactly a year after K.G.P.H. Djiwokusumo was inaugurated as the head of the Mangkunegaran Temple with the title K.G.P.A. Mangkunegara IX. The countries which had been visited on the tips were France, Britain and Japan which had become the member of Group of Seven (G-7) and had a large share in determining international economic policy. The decline in the country's foreign exchange in 1986 due to the devaluation of Rupiah against the dollar as well as on the declined of oil and gas prices spurred the New Order government to promote tourism as an alternative solution. The visit of the Mangkunegaran Arts Mission to foreign countries has become one of the promotional media for Indonesian tourism to attract foreign tourists. This momentum can not be separated from the great mission of Mangkunegara VIII and the pre-eminent oath of Mangkunegara IX to develop Mangkunegaran as a center of Javanese culture. Through historical methods, this study reveals the reasons and process of the implementation of Mangkunegaran Arts Mission Visit and explores the meaning of the visit for Indonesia's national development during the New Order Period. Because it moves from the momentum of an arts mission tour, this study can be used as a basis for policy making in the future.

Abstract

Kethoprak is a traditional performing art originating from Surakarta. Kethoprak is not able to develop optimally in its ownregion, because it cannot compete with wayang wong. The existence of wayang wong in Surakarta is more demanded by the public compared to kethoprak. This situation forced kethoprak groups move to Yogyakarta which is very developed region. Kethoprak is not only performing around Yogyakarta, but also outside the region. Pati Regency is one of the regions which is affected by the development of kethoprak from Yogyakarta. This study discusses the dynamics of kethoprak groups in Pati by applying historical methods. In 1950, kethoprak entered Pati for the first time, especially in Bakaran Village. In the past, kethoprak which come from Yogyakarta, was invited to entertain the people of Bakaran. From its performances, the ideas were emerged from a group of people to form a kethoprak group. In its development, the groups emerged in Pati. The ups and downs colored by the journey of kethoprak in Pati. Kethoprak was once used as a source of income because of the intense performance. Then, with the emergence of modern performance, the existence of kethoprak is increasingly shifted. However, kethoprak in Pati is still able to maintain its existence to survive in the midst of society.
