Listening to an Earlier Java: Aesthetics, Gender, and the Music of Wayang in Central Java By Sarah Weiss
2007 | 187 Pages | ISBN: 9067182737 | PDF | 3 MB
In "old-style" Central Javanese wayang, still known to many shadow-puppet performers and musicians in Java today, the male dhalang and his female accompanist are gendered embodiments of an aesthetic that has its origins in early Java. Analysis of the musical style known as "female style" grimingan makes it possible to "listen back" to and reconstruct aesthetics for Javanese performance that can be felt in literary sources as early as the twelfth century. This study is the first large-scale treatment of gender issues in Indonesian music. Integrating the analysis of gender and music with that of aesthetics, this study of the musical synergy between the puppeteer and his female accompanist describes the ways in which shifting gender constructions have helped to shape and change Central Javanese music and theatre performance practice while throwing new light on the history of Javanese gender relations and culture, as well as on the aesthetics of Central Java shadow-puppet theatre.

Tonal Intelligence: The Aesthetics of Asian Inscrutability During the Long Cold War (Literature Now) by Sunny Xiang

Why were U.S. intelligence organizations so preoccupied with demystifying East and Southeast Asia during the mid-twentieth century? Sunny Xiang offers a new way of understanding the American cold war in Asia by tracing aesthetic manifestations of "Oriental inscrutability" across a wide range of texts. She examines how cold war regimes of suspicious thinking produced an ambiguity between "Oriental" enemies and Asian allies, contributing to the conflict's status as both a "real war" and a "long peace."

Following the failure of communist revolutions in Europe, in the 1920s the Soviet Union turned its attention to fostering anticolonial uprisings in Asia. China, divided politically between rival military factions and dominated economically by imperial powers, emerged as the Comintern's prime target. At the same time, a host of prominent figures in Soviet literature, film, and theater traveled to China, met with Chinese students in Moscow, and placed contemporary China on the new Soviet stage. They sought to reimagine the relationship with China in the terms of socialist internationalism-and, in the process, determine how internationalism was supposed to look and feel in practice.
