Abstract

The Winter 2004 issue of AEMS News and Reviews (Vol. 7, No. 1) showcases films and multimedia that explore diverse expressions of traditional and contemporary culture in Asia. Joanna Kirkpatrick reflects on the creation of her anthropological CD-ROM, "Transports of Delight: The Ricksha Arts of Bangladesh," providing insight into visual ethnography. The reviews cover a wide array of topics, including classical Japanese performance in "Musume Dojoji," the political transition of "Indonesia: The New Order and Beyond," and the dynamic integration of martial arts, storytelling, and music in "Randai: Folk Theater, Dance and Martial Arts of Sumatra." Other works explore sacred practices through "Ritual Traditions of Eastern Indonesia," traditional Japanese music in "Music of Bunraku and Shinto Festival Music," and South Asian cultural heritage via the "JVC Video Anthology of World Music and Dance: South Asia." The short film "Mercy (Med-dah)" rounds out the issue with a modern narrative set against cultural backdrops.
