%X This article examines the social context of conceptual and moral relativism in a Javanese village. More specifically, it explores links between religious orientation and experiences in an ideologically plural setting. It argues that cultural models of 'changing places' serves to guide a number of Javanese practices such as child-borrowing, gender-switching, language use, and even religious conversion. These models, formed in childhood experience, engender and express a relativism which is highly valued in rural Java.
