Abstract

During my time living in Central Java, Indonesia, I stayed in the family hom e of one of my Indonesian friends on multiple occasions. In my friend ’ s village, located in the district of Batang, along the north coast of Java, west of Semarang city, almos t every woman has the ability to produce exquisitely detailed hand-drawn batik fabric. A wal k up a lane or a peep into a neighbour ’ s house will often reveal a solo entrepreneur contributing their wares to a dynamic cottage industry. However, the lifestyle is hard and the reward almost not enough to justify the patience and hours required to produce fine batik cloth.

巴塘蜡染——一个设计故事

在印度尼西亚中爪哇生活期间，我曾多次住在我的一个印尼朋友的家里。在我朋友的村子里，几乎每个女人都有能力制作精美细致的手绘蜡染织物。这个村子位于爪哇北部海岸的巴塘区，三宝郎市以西。沿着一条小巷走一走，或窥视邻居的房子，往往会发现一个单独的企业家在为一个充满活力的家庭手工业贡献他们的产品。然而，这种生活方式是艰苦的，回报几乎不足以证明生产精美蜡染布所需要的耐心和时间。

期刊介绍： PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies is a fully peer reviewed journal with two main issues per year, and is published by UTSePress. In some years there may be additional special focus issues. The journal is dedicated to publishing scholarship by practitioners of—and dissenters from—international, regional, area, migration, and ethnic studies. Portal also provides a space for cultural producers interested in the internationalization of cultures. Portal is conceived as a “multidisciplinary venture,” to use Michel Chaouli’s words. That is, Portal signifies “a place where researchers [and cultural producers] are exposed to different ways of posing questions and proffering answers, without creating out of their differing disciplinary languages a common theoretical or methodological pidgin” (2003, p. 57). Our hope is that scholars working in the humanities, social sciences, and potentially other disciplinary areas, will encounter in Portal scenarios about contemporary societies and cultures and their material and imaginative relation to processes of transnationalization, polyculturation, transmigration, globalization, and anti-globalization.
