Scope and content |
This collection of 17 documents, all in English, cover a variety of cultural and socioeconomic information. Most deal with the post 1949 period in which the Javanese, as citizens of the newly founded Indonesian Republic, witnessed political violence and rapid economic transformation. The place focus is central Java where a group of scholars, sponsored by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, conducted ethnographic research in the early 1950s. The outputs from this study included the works of the scholarly couple Hildred and Clifford Geertz, and several other researchers. Major themes covered include kinship and family system, religion and culture change, social organization and village life, and the marketing behavior of peasants. Together, these studies provide a comprehensive account of Javanese culture and society as observed in the 1950s-1970s. These earlier studies are supplemented by other documents which, based on information from 1980s to mid-2000s, examine more specific themes. Coverage includes family life, and aspects of culture including concepts of self, shame, place, gender and power. Also included are broad ethnographic descriptions of Javanese culture by an Indonesian anthropologist. |
