Autor Laurie J. Sears
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 1996
Analyzing the Mahabharata and Ramayana tales in relation to court poetry, Islamic faith, Dutch scholarship, and nationalist journals, this title shows how the shadow theater as we know it today must be understood as a hybrid of Javanese and Dutch ideas and interests, inseparable from a particular colonial moment.

Its emphasis on shadow theatre as text, as performance, and as oral tradition makes an important new contribution.ONJean Gelman Taylor, University of New South Wales oA challenging book. Laurie Sears provides a wide range of provocative insights into Javanese and colonial culture and a radical rethinking about the wayang as a major area for the negotiation of power relationships between the Javanese and the Dutch.ONAmin Sweeney, University of California, Berkeley
