“…Namun, seperti disampaikan oleh I Wayan Yasa, penjualan buku sastra Bali seret sekali, setahun belum tentu habis. Buku-buku Bali atau Hindu yang laku adalah buku-buku yang bersumber dari lontar, yang terjemahan seperti dari bahasa Jawa Kuna (Agastia 1994;Creese 1998;1999). Sehubungan dengan sulitnya menjual buku sastra Bali modern, CV Paramitha tidak mampu memberikan royalti kepada pengarang.…”

Over the last ten years (2009-2018), the average number of modern Balinese literary books published reached 10.9 titles per year. This data is derived from the number of books nominated for the annual Rancage Literary Award over the last ten years. This research identifies and discusses opportunities and challenges in the development of the publication of modern Balinese literary books nowadays. The research focuses on identifying the supporting factors and challenges of the publication of modern Balinese literary books. Research methods applied in this study were library studies and limited ethnographic research through interviews, especially with stakeholders of modern Balinese literature including writers, readers and book agencies. Data were analyzed by Escarpit’s theory of sociology of literature that proposes the study of literature in the entire environment of literary creation, distribution and consumption. This study concludes that the provincial government of Bali, publishers, literary communities and authors all play an important role in overcoming challenges and taking advantage of opportunities for increasing the publication of modern Balinese literature. Keywords: modern Balinese literature, book publishing, Rancage award, literary community

“…The difference in language brings kidung into another type of literature called sekar madhya 'middle-sized (literary) blossom'. This kidung tradition also grew in Bali in the same period, written in medieval Balinese language, a newer dialect version of old Javanese language used by the Balinese in the 1400s to 1600s [11]. Unlike former literary genres, kidungs are mostly anonymous.…”

“…According to the current scholarly opinion, none of the kakavins authored in Bali predate the 16th century CE (Creese 1999)ś consequently these occurrences have no relevance for my analysis.…”

Liquor in Glass Vessels: A Note on Glassware in pre-Islamic Java and on its Socio-Religious Symbolism

Textual evidence on glassware in Old Javanese kakavin poetry is discussed. Export of Middle Eastern and Chinese glass vessels to ancient Southeast Asia is documented in the archaeological and historical record, though – compared to the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra – reported finds of glass vessels and their fragments in Java are very limited. Old Javanese kakavins suggest that imported glass vessels, denoted by the term gәḍah, were associated in court circles with the socio-religious framework of Siddha alchemy, and viewed as ritually powerful containers, used to store and serve alcoholic beverages, in particular those with high alcohol content, such as the drinks based on fermented, and probably aged, sugarcane juice. The glass cup metonymically represented the liquid which it contained, and it shares a metaphoric association with sanctified copulation perceived as a ritual act that belongs to Siddha Tantrism. The ultimate origin of the Old Javanese gәḍah is most probably the Arabic term qadah, one of the very early Arabic loanwords in Javanese.
