Errington/Cohen 9308179 This project is a detailed study of shadow puppet theaters in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia which combines ethnographic, historical, and ethnohistorical research. These theaters are attended one to several times a week by village dwelling Javanese. Theatrical performances incorporate themes from local, national, and international events and juxtapose them to Javanese ideas about social relations, morality, and concepts of personhood. To the Javanese, puppet theater is not a trivial form of entertainment but rather a way in which local, national, and world events are translated to local people in a cultural idiom that is easily understood. As a result, puppet theater can be viewed as a lens or filter that serves to interpret events that occur outside the rural villages where most Javanese live. Aside from the interpretation of world events, puppet theater is an arena for the active constitution or reconstitution of Javanese ideas of self and personhood. This project will investigate what axioms and assumptions of Javanese social structure are represented in shadow puppet theater, how performances analyze, probe, and play with normative ideas, and what ramifications (if any) theatrical performances have for everyday sociocultural life and the domain of ordinary reality. Data will be gained by interviewing theatrical performers and puppet theater audience members as well as correlating current performances with national events and correlating descriptions of old performances with the historical events that inspired them. This project should help us understand how the Javanese perceive world events, how they make sense of them, and relate them to their own cultural values. In a more general sense it will enhance our comparative understanding of the forms and forums that non-Western peoples employ to interpret the world. *** [e-mail] (Internet); tbaerwal@nsf (Bitnet); T.BAERWALD (Omnet) Enclosures: Proposal SBR 9319015 Review form "Alternated formats" sheet - PAGE 1 - v ` l SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH GEOGRAPHY AND REGIONAL SCIENCE PROGRAM 1800 Õ Õ ! ! !

Errington/Cohen 9308179 该项目是对印度尼西亚西爪哇井里汶皮影剧院的详细研究，结合了民族志、历史和民族历史研究。 爪哇乡村居民每周都会去这些剧院一到几次。 戏剧表演融合了当地、国家和国际事件的主题，并将它们与爪哇关于社会关系、道德和人格概念的思想并列。 对于爪哇人来说，木偶剧不是一种琐碎的娱乐形式，而是一种将地方、国家和世界事件以易于理解的文化习语传达给当地人的方式。 因此，木偶剧可以被视为一个镜头或滤镜，用于解释大多数爪哇人居住的乡村之外发生的事件。 除了对世界事件的解释之外，木偶剧还是爪哇人自我和人格观念积极构建或重建的舞台。 该项目将调查皮影戏中体现了爪哇社会结构的哪些公理和假设，表演如何分析、探索和发挥规范思想，以及戏剧表演对日常社会文化生活和普通现实领域有哪些影响（如果有）。 数据将通过采访戏剧表演者和木偶剧观众、将当前的表演与国家事件联系起来、将旧表演的描述与激发他们灵感的历史事件联系起来来获得。 这个项目应该帮助我们了解爪哇人如何看待世界事件，如何理解这些事件，并将其与他们自己的文化价值观联系起来。 从更一般的意义上讲，它将增强我们对非西方人民用来解释世界的形式和论坛的比较理解。 *** [e-mail]（互联网）； tbaerwal@nsf（比特网）； T.BAERWALD (Omnet) 附件：提案 SBR 9319015 审查表“替代格式”表 - 第 1 页 - v ` l 社会、行为和经济研究地理和区域科学计划 1800 Õ Õ ！ ！ ！ F e e Õ Õ (Times New Roman Symbol & Arial * * * " h D R E ^ r errington cohen 摘要 摘要%论文奖摘要 errington cohen Raymond Hames Raymond Hames
