Abstract
Abstract:Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Malang, analysis of song texts, analysis of the setting of texts to gamelan music, and the work of Deborah Wong (2015, 2019), Alisha Lola Jones (2018), and others, I argue that a powerful physicality of pleasure provided a mechanism for performers to assert and produce east Javaneseness as they taught me to sing a form of poetry called parikan in the course of performing the female-style traditional dance Ngremo Putri. This potent physicality of pleasure motivated performers’ cultural work to continue making space for and producing what they perceived as endangered east Javanese traditions.Berangkat dari penelitian etnografis di Malang, kajian atas teks kidungan dan setting teks di musik gamelan, dan karya-karya Deborah Wong (2015, 2019), Alisha Lola Jones (2018), dan lain-lain, penulis berpendapat bahwa fisikalitas kegembiraan telah membangkitkan dan menegaskan esensi ke-Jawa Timuran para seniman ketika mengajari penulis mengidungkan puisi berjenis parikan dalam pertunjukan tarian tradisional dengan gaya perempuan, Ngremo Putri. Fisikalitas kegembiraan yang teramat besar ini telah memotivasi para seniman untuk terus membuka ruang kreasi dan memproduksi apa yang mereka lihat sebagai tradisi Jawa Timur yang hampir punah.
