Focusing on this community, Brenner examines what she calls the making of the "unmodern." She portrays a merchant enclave clinging to its distinctive forms of social life and highlights the unique power of women in the marketplace and the home--two domains closely linked to each other through local economies of production and exchange. Against the social, political, and economic developments of late-colonial and postcolonial Java, Brenner describes how an innovative, commercially successful lifestyle became an anachronism in Indonesian society, thereby challenging the idea that tradition invariably gives way to modernity in an evolutionary progression. Brenner's analysis centers on the importance of gender to processes of social transformation. In Laweyan, the base of economic and social power has shifted from families, in which women were the main producers of wealth and cultural value, to the Indonesian state, which has worked to reorient families toward national political agendas. How such attempts affect women's lives and the meaning of the family itself are key considerations as Brenner questions long-held assumptions about the division between "domestic" and "public" spheres in modern society. 606 $aEthnology$zIndonesia$zSurakarta 606 $aSocial change$zIndonesia$zSurakarta 606 $aWomen$zIndonesia$zSurakarta 607 $aSurakarta (Indonesia)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aWomen 676 $a306/.09598/2 700 $aBrenner$b Suzanne April$f1960-$01016458 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458013303321 996 $aThe domestication of desire$92378380 997 $aUNINA
