Journal Article
Listening to an Earlier Java: Aesthetics, Gender, and the Music of Wayang in Central Java (review)
2010
Overview
Rather than merely conceding the common notion that potency resides exclusively in the male domain, Weiss seeks to revise the discourse on potency and show, through a review of historical documents, how Javanese women were active, potent players in Java's courtly past. By having explored shifts in gender construction and revealed aesthetic continuities that reach from the twelfth century to the twentieth, she hopes to better relate the lived experience of female gender players to significant historical trends and cultural shifts. [...] perhaps most important for journal's readership, is Weiss's contribution to the discourse on gender in Javanese historical and cultural contexts.
