In 1925 the influential Dutch anthropologist W. H. Rassers posed the question of the relationship of myth to ritual, taking as his case study the Javanese myth of the birth of the man-eating demon, Kala. The light shed by this myth, and its re-enactment, on the social morphology of Java was immediately the subject of debate among students of Javanese culture. Stephen C. Headley translates and studies ritual and myth in their variant forms. He expands illuminatingly upon Rasser's general proposition, that the movement from cosmogony to exorcism founds fundamental social forms within which values circulate in Javanese society. Richly detailed descriptions confirm the permanence of these networks of circulating values in modern-day Java, and their persistence in the face of contemporary individualism.

K.H. Zainul Mu’in berusaha mengenal semua santrinya. Jika ada santri baru maka cara yang dilakukan K.H. Zainul Mu’in untuk mengenal santrinya adalah dengan cara memanggilnya dan bertanya siapa namanya, setelah itu K.H. Zainul Mu’in akan memberikan tugas kepada santri tersebut. Tugas yang diberikan tidak hanya sekali, tetapi beberapa kali. Seperti memberi tugas untuk menyapu, mencuci baju dan lain sebagainya. Dengan demikian K.H. Zainul Mu’in dapat lebih dalam mengenal santrinya. Berkenaan dengan hal itu, K.H. Zainul Mu’in mengatakan: “Engkok muntak kennalah ka santreh, engkok tak ngubueh santreh nyak bennyak, apah mak bedeh santreh tak kenal ka ghurunah.” Artinya: “Jika aku tidak bisa mengenal santri, aku tidak akan mengasuh santri terlalu banyak, mana ada santri tidak kenal pada gurunya.”Pada intinya seorang murid harus mengenal gurunya dan seorang guru harus mengenal muridnya. Kenal yang dimaksud di sini adalah dekat.

This book examines Indonesia’s strategies and policies to influence regional cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, focusing especially on Indonesia’s efforts to be the maritime fulcrum in the Indo-Pacific during President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi) administration from 2014 until the present.

It discusses the domestic political context in which foreign policy decisions are made, provides an explanation for Indonesia’s efforts to project its vision of Indo-Pacific cooperation at the ASEAN level and beyond, and demonstrates how Indonesia strives to maintain a delicate balance in its interactions with major powers in the region, including the United States, China, and Japan.
