This paper explorescommunities in Japan and Indonesia whose members are participating in decision-making processes aboutsustainable tourism and the protection of local traditions, spirituality and wisdom.Potentials of Local Traditions: A Study on Its Development for Social TransformationSri WahyuniIn determining social transformation in development, there are questions that cannot be avoided: Could localtradition eventually reconstruct minds? Or is it the role of local tradition to determine social transformations?Society, after all, is the consequence of a social system.Thailand and Japan are known for their ability to transform their monarchies into modern systems. Both havegone a long way in the process, each of them using distinct and unique ways to shape their monarchies into whatthey are today. Modernization is commonly identified as a situation which compromises and erases manytraditional lifestyle practices and many local customs. But the fact is that local traditions continue to be practicedand remembered. They are not time-bound and can be interpreted contextually.Like Asian countries, in general, where women’s participation in development is a critical issue, Thailand andJapan have experienced in the same situation, notwithstanding Japan’s Very High Human Development Index(HDI) ranking and Thailand’s Medium HDI ranking. Besides, what must serve as the reference point in viewingthe progress of women’s participation in development should be the Gender Equality Measures (GEM).Since development is the accumulation of transformation, I believe that local traditions have the potential tocontribute to determining the local mindset regarding social transformation. Considered as the normative valuesof a community, local traditions are expected to help a community interpret these traditions in the context oftheir daily lives.This paper would like to explore the role of local traditions in Thailand and Japan, in connection with thecommunities’ mindsets and social transformations. This study is based on field work done in villages in NorthernThailand and Western Japan.Panel 3: Multiple Modernities via the Globalization of Art, Media and PerformanceA Mindscape Like No Other? Bits and Pieces on Globalization of Manga Subculture andVisual IdentityHikmat DarmawanThe subculture of manga (Japanese comics) has become a part of global youth culture, especially since the late1990s. Why? Is it because of some internal quality of manga, such as the superiority of this unique visual culture?Or is it because of something more external, like the economic aspect of this cultural phenomenon? To findanswers, the writer visited Japan and Thailand, where, in journalistic mode, he observed manga subculture on thestreet level. In Tokyo, he set out to observe the perpetual movement of people, ideas, and things. He found adynamic between “inside” and “outside” that has created a particular mindscape that makes Japanese visualculture unique. To understand that mindscape is important in understanding what Donald Richie called “TheImage Factory”, a unique aspect of Japan’s industrialization process. Within this context, we can understand moreabout the globalization of manga subculture. In some countries, this can be experienced as a domination of localcultures.The Work of the 2010/2011 API Fellows
262Mapping Kyoto: An Artist’s PerspectiveM. Ichsan Harja NugrahaThis paper presents a comprehensive range of contextual map samples and mapping methods used mainly forhistoric preservation efforts and tourism purposes in Kyoto, Japan. The paper starts with a brief history ofpreservation efforts in Kyoto, then proceeds to describe the efforts’ major obstacles through a case study on thesurvival of kyo-machiya, the unique shops found in Kyoto. Upon this point, the paper then argues for thecollection and distribution of navigational information as one of the effective solutions to tackle such obstacles. Itthen categorizes and elaborates on those maps according to their objects, modes of travel, access methods, seasons,as well as their mapping techniques. Finally, at the end part of the paper, the author presents a list of his futureactivities where he will apply those mapping-related solutions in order to further advance the preservation effortsin his hometown, Bandung, Indonesia.Contemporary Southeast Asian Art: Narratives of a RegionMaria Joselina Anna G. CruzThis research paper examines the role of contemporary art collections, in particular art collections with a large andactive SEA component, and their influence on the larger landscape of art exhibitions, discourse and museumformation. Museum collections have traditionally been repositories of objects, simply for study and display; inrecent times, collections have been re-considered as greatly influential in the progression of art production.Together with the highly regarded act of acquisitions by art institutions and the exhibitions, artists in SEA havebeen able to realise an audience that can interpret, display, finance, purchase, and circulate their artwork, whetherthese are objects, documentation or participatory practices to a larger audience. The histories of the museums inthe region with SEA collections are relatively short and this paper proposes to elucidate and study their collectionsand the act of collecting.Creative Contemporary Asian Dance based on traditional techniques and spirituality,fusing dance from Lanna (northern Thailand), Indonesia, and JapanRonnarong KhamphaThe challenge of traditional dance to survive in a globalized world depends on the efforts of individual artists, aswell as on groups and <strong>org</strong>anizations based in local institutions, villages, and local festivals, and on popularentertainers. From a background as a Lanna (northern Thai) dancer, I studied how traditional dance is beingtransmitted and modernized in Japan and Indonesia. In this paper, I introduce four artists from Japan andIndonesia with backgrounds in traditional dance who are trying to make their traditions contemporarily relevant.I describe some of the many forms that dance is taking in locations such as Mangkunegaran Palace in Surakarta,Indonesia and in so-called “Downtown Kabuki” in Osaka, Japan. Finally, I discuss my collaborations with artistsin Japan and Indonesia in which we attempted to compare, contrast, or fuse our traditions. The long-term aim ofthis work is to try to identify ways for traditional art to survive in an era of globalization.“The Land of Isolation” - a Soundscape Composition Originating in Northeast MalaysiaYasuhiro MorinagaThis paper describes the techniques and approaches to create a soundscape titled ‘The Land of Isolation’ whichcaptures the author’s memory of a large storm in Northeast Malaysia. The paper focuses on the technical aspectsof creating the composition, including the choice of technology and how the technology was used. It describes theuse of atmospheric sound, featured sound, and the mixing of the two. Digital effects such as panning, volumingand equalizing are also described throughout the process of composition.The Work of the 2010/2011 API Fellows
