AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discusses aspects of traditional etiquette, statecraft, and mysticism in Javanese culture and society. In doing so, the article argues for a unitary approach which locates the legitimacy of traditional Javanese elites (Priyayi) in culturally constructed concepts of ethics, aesthetics, and power.
