Musical and socio-cultural diversity and unity in Yogyakarta: Fifteen years ago and today

Dr. Max Richter is a Research Fellow (Indonesian Engagement) at Monash Sustainability Institute and Deputy Director of the Monash Asia Institute. His doctoral research centered on musical practices and discussions in downtown Yogyakarta in 2000-2001, subsequently published as Musical worlds in Yogyakarta (KITLV/ISEAS, available as Global Commons through OAPEN). That research focused on street-based occupational groups and their identifications with musik jalanan and campursari, and drew on Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts while also seeking to formulate alternative approaches. Nowadays Max Richter’s research includes remote-area electrification in Indonesia and strengthening Australia-Indonesia collaborative research partnerships, but he also maintains a keen interest in Indonesia’s musical life. This presentation will begin by reflecting on musical influences on social relations around 2000-2001. It will then invite discussion on music in present-day Yogyakarta, and what this might tell us about Indonesian cultural and political trends more broadly.

L’Oulipo a été créé en 1960 par François Le Lionnais, scientifique amoureux de littérature, et Raymond Queneau, écrivain et mathématicien. L’idée de départ était d’interroger la mathématique, la science et les formes oubliées, pour proposer de nouvelles structures pour les textes littéraires.
La notion de « contrainte » est centrale dans le travail oulipien. Contrairement aux apparences, elle est un facteur essentiel de liberté dans la création. Elle est également un outil décisif dans l’interrogation du « sens » : le texte dit ce qu’il dit et ce que la contrainte dit aussi.
Parmi les membres célèbres de l’Oulipo on compte Raymond Queneau, l’auteur des « cent mille milliards de poèmes » que personne ne lira jamais en entier, Georges Perec dont le roman « La Disparition » est tout entier écrit sans la lettre « e », Italo Calvino dont le roman « Si une nuit d’hiver un voyageur » n’est constitué que de débuts de romans, Jacques Roubaud, maître de l’alexandrin dont « l’Ode à la ligne 23 » explore tous les moyens de le trahir !
Le groupe est international et compte 40 membres dont la moitié sont excusés pour cause de décès.
Paul Fournel, écrivain, en est actuellement le Président. Il fera une présentation de l’histoire du groupe, de son fonctionnement et lira des textes caractéristiques du travail oulipien.

Ethnography, Fieldwork and the Anthropologist’s Emotions –
Challenging ‘Traditional Empiricism’
Thomas Stodulka (Freie Universität Berlin, Germany)

Researchers and their emotions are perceived as an irreconcilable dichotomy. They are considered as nuisances that jeopardize ‘objective’ science. At best, they are regarded as marginal apparitions of limited anecdotic, biographic or artistic interest. Many scientific disciplines have excluded them from their discourse. In contrast, my assumption is that emotions inevitably influence the research process: from the choice of research subjects, the researcher’s positionality and the generation of data, to their interpretation and public representation. We argue that their critical analysis should be part of and not excluded from scientific practice. Instead of obliterating or deeming them as esoteric by-products they should be scrutinized systematically and thus rendered productive for science and the communication of its results to the wider (academic) community.
In particular, fieldwork of anthropologists triggers a range of emotions that impact observation, influence comprehension and guide the formation of theories. Our continued assumption is that fieldwork in its manifold appearances can serve as a paradigm for the researchers’ emotions in general, since only fieldwork creates an extensive corpus of subjective reports (e.g. field diaries, notes, letters) that can be studied exemplarily.
Drawing on examples from my long-term study with street-related adolescents and young adults in Yogyakarta, this talk illustrates that the integration of the ethnographer’s emotions into the analysis, interpretation and representation of ethnographic data can assist in (1) increasing the emotional literacy of ethnographies (2) formulating a more relational anthropological theory and (3) raising emotions to a category of epistemic value.

Dr. Thomas Stodulka’s research focuses on stigma, marginality, and the interplay between culture, emotion, health, and illness. He conducted long-term fieldwork with street-related young men in Yogyakarta, Indonesia between 2001 and 2015, and is currently involved in an interdisciplinary research on cross-cultural perspectives on envy and directs a research project entitled the “The Researchers’ Affects” (http://www.loe.fu-berlin.de/en/affekte-der-forscher)
