Ithaca, Cornell University, 1965. large 8°. original printed wrappers. (viii), 77pp. Num. text-ills. depict. wayang-kulit puppets, some full-p. genealogical tables, glossary indonesian-english. [Monograph Series, Modern Indonesia Project..Cornell University]. GROENENDAEL, 013. Essay exploring the traditional role of the wayang in the wider sociological and psychological context of Javanese society in order to shed some light on the concrete social and cultural aspects of Javanese tolerance. This tolerance is considered to be rooted in the great diversity of wayang character models for traditional approved behaviour passed on by way of the wayng theatre and its mythology. Changes in the appreciation of these models and the ascendency of certain models over others because of pressure from the modern Indonesian elite are discussed. (Groenendael, op. cit.).
