The Serat Jatiswara : structure and change in a Javanese poem, 1600-1930

The corpus is that of the poem titled Serat Jatiswara, containing some 50 extant manuscripts divisible into seven distinct "recensions", or versions of the poem. Rather than using the rich manuscript record to winnow away all variations in the pursuit of a critical text in the philological tradition, the study focuses on just those variations. The major metrical, narrative and language structures by which the poem is organized, and within which the variation occurs, are examined in great detail. Conclusions are drawn both about the nature of the structures themselves in a synchronic view of Javanese text-building, and about the ways in which these structures change over time.

The millennial esc (h) atology of heri dono: ‘Semar farts’ first in auckland, New Zealand

Under the first he was to set up a piece called 'Land of wishing' ('Tanah Harapan') at the New Gallery of the Auckland Art Museum. This installation, the most highly praised of a quartet of Pacific rim works presented as part of a SoundCulture exhibition, featured a flock of mechanical angels hovering on slowly fanning wings over an arid, depleted globe rolling between the calm reverberations of taped bonang kettle gongs in the past and the digitized recordings of pedanda priests chanting in the future. When the Elam School of Art at the University of Auckland learned of Dono's pending visit they invited him to sit for the six weeks following the opening of SoundCulture as an artist in residence. Under the terms of that contract, the residency culminated on Friday night, 30 April, with the 'installation performance' of a new work called 'Semar kentut', literally 'Semar farts', but cleverly rendered into English on this occasion as 'PhARTty Semar'. This article describes the performance and ventures into critico-hermeneutical ruminations on possible meaning.

It can be used as a quick guide to chronogram words (candrasangkala, sengkalan) in Javanese texts from the 17th century onwards. Search for words you wish to identify using the regular ^f command. Pepet is represented as /e/ and taling as /E/ for ease in searching. Words are arranged alphabetically within numerical value categories (watak 1) with headwords followed by related and derivative terms.
