Abstract

This study aims to explain the adaptation patterns of dance in the new normal era to maintain the existence of art and prevented Covid-19 terviews, and observations of various art performances in the new normal era. Furthermore, the data were analyzed with interactive analysis and presented critically with analysis assisted by the socio-cultural theory and art. Research results show that Covid-19 has changed various orders of human life, including dance. Dance performances must follow health protocols to prevent the spread of Covid-19, as a result, there is an adaptation from aesthetics to health. This then led to the staging of the Covid-19 model using various preventative equipment such as masks, face shields, keeping your distance, wearing hand slopes, limiting the number of spectators, and virtual performances. All done by the artist to be able to keep performing arts, but also not neglecting the safety of the dancers, musicians, and the audience. Even though it is realized that using various Covid-19 prevention equipment has caused the aesthetic level of art to decrease. Also, artists experience various problems such as discomfort when performing, the problem of uneven technology facilities, the cost of providing expensive equipment, many artists do not have sufficient knowledge of digital art. Even so, artists are still trying to adapt to be accepted by the wider community in the new normal era.

Abstract

The Wayang Kamasan illustrations at the Klungkung Royal Palace store traces of the history of Bali during the Japanese colonial period. This research analyzed one located in the Bale Kambang pavilion with the ‘Lintang Perau Pegat’ scene to discern representation in that era. An art historical method was used drawing from field observation and literature resources with an iconography and iconology analysis approach of Erwin Panofsky. Findings from a pre-iconography phase showed that this illustration presents a scene about the splitting of a Japan-flagged ship by a large fish. An iconographic analysis was about themes and concepts regarding belief in the strength of nature (gods), which can influence human life and undermine the glory of human beings. Given the psychological atmosphere during the Japanese colonial period, hence, this illustration is the crystallization of a symbol from an attitude of resistance amidst helplessness towards a ruler (the Japanese occupation government), and hopes for the presence of the power of the gods to help eliminate oppression and misery that occurred during that era in Bali.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the procedures of translation of fine art terms from English into Indonesian found in the catalog of Kun Adnyana's paintings entitled Candra Sangkala and to identify linguistic phenomena that arise from the translation. The catalog promotes the work of art and provides as much information as possible so that the work of the artist can be more widely appreciated. Therefore, the specific terms used in this fine art text should be translated appropriately in order to communicate the messages accurately, readably and naturally. The method used in this research was qualitative method which was conducted by doing content analysis in accordance with the theories of translation. This study found that the translation of fine art terms from Indonesian to English was conducted through seven procedures, namely couplet consisting of shift and reduction and expansion, second couplet, which is the combination of shift and literal translation, descriptive equivalent, reduction and expansion, literal translation, shift, and transference. The application of these procedures lead to two interesting phenomena that occur in the translation of Indonesian-English translation of fine art terms, i.e. (1) the use of equivalents that are previously naturalized from English into Indonesian and several terms that are literally translated and (2) the combination of more than one procedure of translation that is irrefutable in translating phrases. All of the procedures were utilized to meet the accuracy, naturalness and acceptability in translation.

Abstract

Many scholars have suggested that Chopi performance was influenced by Indonesian performance practices because of its similarity to Javanese and Balinese Gamelans (Jones 1964, 6). By using non-musical evidence to support their arguments, some have explored in depth the similarities in the use of the terminology, tuning system, organology and orchestration. Even though they found some striking similarities, the lack of evidence of this issue rendered their arguments inconclusive. Therefore, I am here not to argue against or to agree with these scholars. Instead, I will reexamine their arguments, especially the one by A.M. Jones in his Book “Africa and Indonesia,” and based on my knowledge of Indonesian music and literature review of the music of Chopi people, and hopefully to come to the most coherent conclusion. This paper discusses the historical, cultural, and musical form of the music of the Chopi people of Southern Mozambique. The Chopi has an extraordinary musical culture, which features their large xylophone orchestras. I will examine their xylophone (timbila) in terms of its history, instrumentation, cultural and social context, as well as briefly explore the performance of dance based on literature review. I will analyze a piece from Hugh Tracey’s impressive recording called “Msitso Wa Wuraru,” the third orchestral introduction of the Migodo dance performance, to illustrate the complexity of the playing technique and musical performance. Then, I will compare the xylophone tradition of the Chopi and Indonesian, in order to find the similarities and differences between them.
