Time, rites and festivals in Bali
Darta, I Gusti Nyoman; Couteau, Jean; Breguet, Georges
The book is structured into two parts, with four chapters each. Part I discusses the Balinese calendars and concepts of time. Part II then explores how the calendar system applies in practice.
This book provides a lively discussion of the relative and cyclic nature of time from a Balinese point of view, highlighting how Balinese ideas of historical time differ from modern Western ones, and how their notions of time relate to natural and stellar cycles, cosmology, and beliefs about the transmigration of ancestral souls.
In sum, this book is neither an academic work nor an art book, although it has a few features of both genres. It is rather a hybrid cultural offering that brings together the talent and work of several people who are united in their love and respect for the culture and people of Bali.
