Title: Solo in the New Order. Language and Hierarchy in an Indonesian City.
Description: Princeton (N.J.), Princeton University Press, 1986. hardcover with dustjacket, VIII, 338 pp.. (the author describes the establishment of translation in Javanese culture, showing the influence of the Dutch and tracing the formation of hierarchy in a Javanese neighborhood; using evidence from the Javanese theater, domestic arrangements, and notions about commodities, he indicates how Javanese situate anxiety by distinguishing what is inside and outside hierarchy; after the initial adjustment of Solo to Suharto, further intrusions, especially in education, upset traditional Javanese conceptions; though Solo accomodated to the new Order, its inhabitants continued to adhere to their own complex ideas of deference and hierarchy through translation between Low Javanese and High Javanese.)
