The Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) is an area study journal that specializes in publishing research-based articles about Bali. The topics of articles about Bali that can be published are very diverse including Balinese culture, politics, music, language, architecture, literature, history, mass media, popular culture, tourism, economy, environment, health, law, management, religion, and Balinese customs. The journal would also like to publish articles on Bali with comparative approaches. The Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) is published twice a year, every April and October. Published articles are reviewed in a single blinded manner. The Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) was first published in April 2011 by the Center for Balinese Studies, University of Udayana. Starting from April 2019, the journal is published jointly by the Center for Balinese Studies and the Center of Excellence in Tourism, University of Udayana. However, starting April 2020, the Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) was published by the Center for Cultural Research and the Center of Excellence in Tourism, University of Udayana. This change occurred because of the reorganization of research centers at Udayana University from the end of 2019.

Abstract

As Balinese Calonarang shadow theatre responds to shifting audience expectations and media influences, intermediality has emerged as a strategic mode of adaptation. This article examines a notable example: the emergence of the watangan matah or ‘living corpse,’ a figure performed by a live actor within the traditionally two-dimensional shadow space. This adaptation bridges symbolic shadow play with embodied presence, negotiating ritual integrity with theatrical spectacle. Using a mixed-method embedded design, the study combines descriptive quantitative data with ethnographic interpretation through observation, video analysis, interviews, and an audience survey. Findings show that the inclusion of watangan matah intensifies visual and emotional impact but generates divided responses between younger, media-oriented audiences and ritual purists. More significantly, staging a live corpse figure introduces power contestation, as puppeteers symbolically challenge mystical forces to assert spiritual authority. Watangan matah thus exemplifies how Calonarang theatre navigates preservation and transformation while maintaining its sacred resonance.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global tourism, altering travel behaviours and reshaping risk perceptions. This study investigates tourists' perceived risks and travel expectations in the new normal, focusing on Langkawi Island, Malaysia, and Bali, Indonesia, the two prominent Southeast Asian destinations. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews with 60 participants (30 from each destination) revealed three key themes: destination risk, physical equipment risk, and vacation risk. The findings highlight the critical role of health and safety measures, including sanitation practices and digital innovations, in rebuilding tourist confidence. While Langkawi emphasizes family-friendly attractions and local travel bubbles, Bali leverages its cultural heritage and wellness tourism to align with evolving traveller priorities. Recommendations include adopting sustainable tourism practices, enhancing health communication, and integrating contactless technologies to foster resilience in the tourism sector. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders in designing adaptive strategies to ensure sustainable growth and competitiveness in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered an unexpected migration pattern, as some Ukrainians chose Bali, Indonesia, as their destination, challenging traditional distinctions between refugees and tourists. This study explores whether we should classify Ukrainians in Bali as refugees, given their tourist-like destination choices and behavior patterns. Through qualitative methodologies including content analysis, semi-structured interviews, observation, and migration theory analysis, the research reveals that Ukrainian presence in Bali aligns more closely with tourism than refugee characteristics, based on lifestyle-driven motivations, variable duration of stay, and destination choice preferences. The economic and social activities of Ukrainians in Bali resemble those of lifestyle migrants more than they do typical refugee patterns. The findings suggest that policy frameworks should maintain tourism-based approaches while acknowledging these migrants' complex circumstances and that traditional refugee-tourist classifications require revision to accommodate cases where conflict displacement intersects with lifestyle-based destination choices.

Abstract

Bulian Saa is a distinct form of Balinese Hindu ritual language used by the Bali Mula, the indigenous Balinese community of Bulian Village, North Bali. Unlike other Balinese Hindu ritual languages, Bulian Saa exhibits lexical and structural features that diverge significantly from the standardized ritual language used across Bali, particularly in the names of deities, temples, and sacred elements. This research explores Bulian Saa in comparison with standard Balinese Hindu ritual language, with a focus on the Panca Sembah (Five Turns of Worship). This comparison enables a thorough investigation of the unique characteristics of Bulian Saa that are reflected in language identity and language preference of Balinese Hindu people in Bulian village. The study’s significance lies in documenting and analysing this under-researched variant of Balinese ritual language, fostering its preservation, and providing insights for broader discussions on the relationship between language, tradition, and identity in minority communities.

Abstract

The family planning (KB) Krama Bali policy aims to counter Bali’s fertility decline and rising in-migration by promoting a four-child ideal to sustain the indigenous population. However, this policy challenges Balinese women’s reproductive rights and family preferences. Through in-depth interviews with 34 married Balinese women conducted in 2020 and 2022, this study explores how KB Krama Bali shapes fertility decisions, family size preferences, and gender expectations.  Findings reveal three key themes: the number of children women prefer, their perception of an ideal family size, and their desire to have a son. Balinese women navigate conflicting pressures from local family planning policies, economic burdens, and the patrilineal system. Their triple role in economic contributions, reproductive function, and adat (customs) obligations underscores their role in preserving Balinese identity. This study highlights the need for gender-sensitive policies that balance demographic goals with women’s autonomy and well-being
