Abstract

Presentation of Sundanese arts in the US by non-Sundanese grew from a program of the Center for World Music (CWM), an incubator for Sundanese performing arts practice in the San Francisco Bay area in the 1970s. Those (both Sundanese and American) coming out of that encounter engaged in intercultural teaching and performance of music, dance, and wayang (puppet/human dance theatre) in the US in the then developing programs leading to a BA or graduate degree in ethnomusicology, dance, or theatre arts. Performances by Sundanese gamelan groups with American artists in and beyond the university also developed. While such groups persist, socio-political shifts in Indonesia-US relations, including in West Java’s modernization and urbanization, more conservative interpretations of religion due to the post-1980s Islamic revival, and the ageing of teachers have impacted. At the same time, trends in American academia including the questioning of interculturalism as neocolonialism, the trends toward study of urban popular music, and changing American identity politics, caused shifts in the study and performance of Sundanese arts in the US.

Abstract

Indonesian music fans all over the world were saddened to learn of the untimely death of Euis Komariah on 11 August 2011, in Bandung, West Java. Ibu Euis earned international fame as an award-winning singer, a teacher, and a businesswoman. I had the opportunity to interview her about her illustrious career on 19 April 2007, during her residency at the University of California, Davis. This essay provides an annotated translation of that interview, in which we addressed topics including media (radio broadcasting and the cassette industry), recording technologies, the development of new tunings and modes, and the development of jaipongan. The annotations expand on the interview’s very particular historical context of the 2007 music scene and contextualize it in terms of more recent developments in Sundanese music and media. It is my intention that this record of our conversation will disseminate some of the details of this remarkable artist’s life and career to a wide audience, and contribute to her lasting memory, both in Indonesia and abroad, as well as provide a broader context for understanding contemporary Sundanese music.

Abstract

YouTube was used as a significant platform for public performances around the globe during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those given by contemporary and traditional artists and communities. Although this transference of public performance to virtual performance has meant challenges for traditional artists, it has also encouraged them to create new creative media spaces. Instead of confronting digital technology, some traditional artists compromise and negotiate with it. Through an ethnographic account of a performance in Tasikmalaya, West Java, this article describes how traditional artistic forms were preserved through a virtual-based art festival performed by the art community, Komunitas Cermin Tasikmalaya. Solidarity, collaboration, and networking were crucial elements in holding the online festival in which young people were the main actors in this participatory culture, which was widely disseminated through YouTube.

Abstract

One of the distinctive features of the Sundanese language is the use of Kecap Anteuran (KA), or verb intensifiers. This linguistic feature often poses challenges when translating Sundanese into foreign languages, particularly European languages. However, we argue that Sundanese KA demonstrates a higher degree of translatability into Japanese, a language that also uses verb intensifiers similar to those found in Sundanese. In Japanese, words analogous to Sundanese KA are categorized as giongo-gitaigo, although the term onomatope is more commonly used. This study aims to identify Sundanese KA based on Tamori’s classification of Japanese onomatopoeia. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, we examine (Sound [S] and Mentality [M]) onomatopoeia. The findings reveal that Sundanese onomatopoeic and non-onomatopoeic KA align with their respective Japanese counterparts as classified by Tamori, based on their associations with sensations, perceptions, emotional states, and the descriptions of activities.

Abstract

In this paper, I examine the evolving portrayal of women in Sundanese society through a close analysis of certain nouns denoting women in the magazine Manglé. Using corpus linguistics, specifically word frequency and collocation analyses, I aim to investigate the evolving images of Sundanese women in relation to Indonesia’s political context over time. I argue that the evolution shown can be seen as a detailed overview of how the images of Sundanese women have been transformed. The results indicate that the trend in constructing women’s images is predominantly through the use of the noun wanoja, in contrast to other nouns. Through this noun, women are increasingly portrayed as possessing greater confidence to engage in the public sphere. In addition to spotlighting Sundanese women’s discussion, this paper can also serve as a representative case of how corpus linguistics research can be applied to other Sundanese texts or other regional texts in Indonesia.

Abstract

In this article, I offer new ways of seeing and hearing Sundanese women singers in modern post-independence Indonesia. I propose a dynamic and historical approach to show how individual female singers shaped new material realities and symbolic meanings of modern Sundanese identity (Sunda modern) from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s. My approach emphasizes difference, uniqueness, and novelty in singers’ public image, on-stage presentation, vocal style, and musical repertoire. I contend that singers’ ability to branch out and cross over – by engaging the national (for example, singing in the national language) and the global (for example, Western-inflected genres) – structured a modern feeling of Sundanese-ness that was emergent (but not possible) during the previous colonial era.

Abstract

This study aims to examine carita pantun performances in ritual contexts as observed in the Baduy community in Kanekes Village, Banten, on several occasions between 2021 and 2023. Carita pantun serves as traditional epics narrated in oral tradition performances accompanied by kacapi musical instruments. Historically, carita pantun was fully integrated into the ritual calendar and performed regularly in various regions in Tatar Sunda including West Java and Banten. Over time, it has been increasingly narrated for secular entertainment. This study explores carita pantun performances that retain a sacred function and remain deeply integrated into the life of the Baduy community. By identifying the distinctive characteristics and observing the roles of speakers and listeners, the analysis emphasizes the importance of the oral text being highly dependent on the context of the specific ritual. The analysis further enriches the understanding of the nature and structure of the carita pantun performances as a traditional ritual in West Java and Banten.

Abstract

Reflecting on the evolution of the weekly Sundanese magazine, Manglé, since its establishment in 1957, this article traces the magazine’s vital role in fostering the growth of modern Sundanese writing. For the past 66 years, it has provided a platform for Sundanese writers to showcase their works, with numerous prominent authors gracing its pages. At the peak of its success in 1964, Manglé had a circulation of 70,000 copies, but its circulation has dwindled over time. The advent of the internet and social media has presented new challenges, compelling Manglé to struggle to recapture its former glory. However, the magazine remains an irreplaceable guardian of Sundanese literature and culture and fulfills a role that national media outlets cannot play. Sundanese writers choose Manglé to publish their Sundanese pieces, in preference to writing in Indonesian for broader circulation. This promotion of Sundanese writing can be traced chronologically through the influence and views of the editors-in-chief. Manglé’s unwavering championing of Sundanese language and literature is exemplary, and its continuing commitment to sustaining and supporting Sundanese socio-cultural events deserves proper recognition.
