Performing Otherness: Java and Bali on International Stages, 1905-1952

The monograph Performing Otherness merits double-weighting as it is the product of archival research conducted in Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia since 1991. While concerning performers and practices originating in colonial Indonesia, it has global reach— tracing itineraries of nomadic performers and performance forms to the United States, continental Europe, India and around the world. The research involved collecting and analysing a considerable body of material (including unpublished sources, private archives and interviews with children of performers), working in both European (English, Dutch, German, French, Italian) and Indonesian (principally Malay, Indonesian and Javanese) languages.
