Beschreibung
This book is about how cultures and societies on Java over
the past century have been perceived and socially
constructed by scholars inside and outside of Indonesia. It
is a reflective book; how, on the one hand, academic
theories have shaped our view of Java and, on the other
hand, how the study of Java has influenced theoretical
developments within a number of disciplines, including
anthropology, development studies, religious studies,
political science, gender studies, and the arts.
