ler totalmente Javanese Gamelan and the West (English Edition)

Preeminant gamelan performer and scholar Sumarsam explores the concept
of hybridity in performance traditions that have developed in the context of Javanese
encounters with the West.Javanese Gamelan and the West studies the meaning, forms, and
traditions of the Javanese performing arts as they developed and changed through their
contact with Western culture. Authored by a gamelan performer, teacher, and scholar, the
book traces the adaptations in gamelan art as a result of Western colonialism in
nineteenth-century Java, showing how Western musical and dramatic practices were
domesticated by Javanese performers creating hybrid Javanese-Western art forms, such as with
the introduction of brass bands in gendhing mares court music and West Javanese tanjidor,
and Western theatrical idioms in contemporary wayang puppet plays. The book also examines
the presentation of Javanese gamelan to the West, detailing performances in World's Fairs
and American academia and considering its influence on Western performing arts and musical
and performance studies. The end result is a comprehensive treatment of the formation of
modern Javanese gamelan and a fascinating look at how an art form dramatizes changes and
developments in a culture. Sumarsam is a University Professor of Music at Wesleyan
University. He is the author of Gamelan: Cultural Interaction and Musical Development in
Central Java (University of Chicago Press, 1995) and numerous articles in English and
Indonesian. As a gamelan musician and a keenamateur dhalang (puppeteer) of Javanese wayang
puppet play, he performs, conducts workshops, and lectures throughout the US, Australia,
Europe, and Asia.
