Abstract

The role of state‐sponsored institutions in the transmission of gamelan music knowledge in Java has been widely observed in the context of the great transition from being a matter of oral transmission and the social ties it entailed to a study program relying on writing and on the state apparatus. While the role of the educational institutions – notably the network of art academies Institut Seni Indonesia – has been framed largely in ethnomusicological terms, little has been said as of yet of the consequences it triggered sociologically. A few of the most historically‐conscious contributions debating the recent developments of Javanese gamelan music have suggested an interpretative key which supported either a modernization paradigm or a transformation‐in‐continuity model, as formulated most recently by the work of Rachel Hand. Although both perspectives can provide important insights in the way socio‐cultural change unfolds, the ethnography I sketch here offers a more nuanced viewpoint.
