“…This pattern of state censorship illustrates the construction of dangdut's audience as an object of a topÁdown New Order discourse about culture and the arts in the 1980s characterized by government regulation and monitoring (Lindsay, 1995;Yampolsky, 1995;Zurbuchen, 1990). As Yampolsky (1989) and Williams (1989) have shown for pop Indonesia and pop Sunda, respectively, publicly voicing everyday problems in popular music was not good for Indonesia, according to New Order officials, especially if the songs were mournful (cengeng) or eroticized (porno).…”

Semarang has developed as a diverse city. The communities who lived in Semarang history has produced a hybrid culture patterned Semarang which in the next time become as "Semarangan culture". At that time of Indonesia's independence there is awareness to preserve the cultural heritage of Semarangan either by local governments and communities of Semarang. The preservation and development cultural heritage of Semarangan continues which among other things aims to establish a cultural identity for the community and theie city. However, such efforts have not been able to achieve the expected results, because the Semarangan culture is less able to perform in a stage of cultural life in their own city and national culture.Keywords: Cultural heritage; Performing arts; Tradition ceremony; Cultural policy Abstrak Semarang telah tumbuh sebagai kota yang majemuk. Komunitas-komunitas sejarah yang tinggal di Semarang telah menghasilkan kebudayaan Semarang yang bercorak hibrida yang pada masa kemudian dikenal sebagai "budaya Semarangan". Pada masa Indonesia merdeka terdapat kesadaran untuk melestarikan warisan budaya Semarangan baik oleh pemerintah daerah maupun masyarakat Semarang. Upaya-upaya untuk melestarikan dan mengembangkan warisan budaya Semarangan terus dilakukan yang antara lain bertujuan untuk membentuk identitas budaya bagi masyarakat dan kotanya. Namun, upaya-upaya itu belum mampu mencapai hasil yang diharapkan, karena budaya Semarangan kurang dapat tampil dalam panggung kehidupan budaya di kotanya sendiri dan budaya nasional.

“…In a study on cultural policy in Southeast Asia, Jennifer Lindsay (2002) argues that there is a difference between Europe and Southeast Asia in terms of the rationales behind government subsidised arts. In Europe, she explains, "government subsidy or public money supports cultural forms which are not in themselves fully viable commercially, but these activities are also part of a greater whole" (Lindsay, 2002, p. 73).…”

For the last few decades, European cultural organisations such as the Alliance Française de Manille, the British Council, the German Goethe-Institut, and the Spanish Instituto Cervantes have been working actively in the Philippines by establishing and promoting a whole range of cultural and educational activities, related to their particular languages and cultures. In the Philippines, the fact that arts funding is limited, has encouraged the development of a web of intercultural relationships and encounters. This article examines two problematic aspects of the global promotion of Spanish culture in the Philippines, namely the unidirectional approach to cultural promotion, and the politics of arts funding. Inspired by Anthony Giddens" understanding of globalization as a web of distant relationships, in which local events can be influenced by others occurring miles away, the concept of "rough cultural promotion" is proposed to discuss the unidirectional movement of cultural products. When European countries, such as Spain, select and promote specific cultural products as "universal" referents of "Spanish (or national) culture" in the Philippines, "rough promotion" is achieved. This paper argues that this process establishes several disjunctures in both countries, such as the perpetuation of cultural stereotypes, and an imbalanced situation in which European cultural events are in direct competition with local arts. This imbalanced situation is further explained by exploring the politics of European arts funding in the Philippines. In this context, and following Pierre Bourdieu"s theory of cultural production, this paper argues that Spanish cultural producers in the Philippines are establishing an authority in the definition of what arts and culture should be in the Philippines.
