Weaving in the Batak region of North Sumatra is an ancient art practised by women, and exhibits some of the oldest design and technical features in the Indonesian archipelago. Since colonial annexation at the turn of the twentieth century, innovative Batak weavers from the Lake Toba region in northern Sumatra have successfully adapted their art to new economic and social circumstances - but at great cost. In recent decades, weaving has fallen into decline and the tradition is threatened, while at the same time Batak textiles are highly prized in museum collections around the world. "Legacy in cloth" offers the first definitive study of the woven heritage of the Toba, Simalungun, and Karo Batak. The most complete analysis of Batak textiles ever published,it provides a record of more than 100 different design types, including archival and contemporary photographs showing how the textiles are woven and how they are used in Batak culture.

Between the Folds: Stories of Cloth, Lives, and Travels from Sumba
Highlighted Features
Textiles have long been integral to the social life and cosmology of the people of East Sumba, Indonesia. In recent decades, the Sumbanese have entered a larger world economy as their textiles have joined the commodity flow of an international "ethnic arts" market, stimulated by Indonesia's tourist trade. As Sumba's villagers respond to an immensely expanded commerce in their cloth, tensions and ironies emerge between historical and innovative forms in both cloth and lives. Using a narrative approach, Jill Forshee takes readers into diverse lives, including those of villagers traveling to Bali and tourists visiting Sumba, and follows their adventures along various routes over time. Through personal stories of those involved in the contemporary production and trade of local cloth, a vivid account emerges of the inner workings of a so-called "traditional" society and its arts responding inventively to decades of international collecting. These stories expand anthropological concepts of the boundaries of regions and the certainties of cultures in ways that are tangible and immediate to the reader. Moreover, the book illuminates some formerly unexplored conditions of artistic provenance.

Die Gewebe der Sasak und die Technik Songket (Europäische Hochschulschriften / European University Studies / Publications Universitaires Européennes) (German Edition)
Highlighted Features
Ziel dieser Publikation ist es, die Gewebe der indonesischen Insel Lombok und deren Technik Songket erstmalig zu dokumentieren. Die dort entstandenen traditionellen Textilien und Bekleidungen haben bisher wenig Aufsehen erregt, da sie eher schlicht gehalten sind und in der facettenreichen Textilwelt Indonesiens kaum in Erscheinung treten. Während zahlreicher Aufenthalte in den lokalen Weberzentren entstand eine genaue Dokumentation der Verwendung des Gürtelwebgerätes und der dort üblichen Technik Songket sowie der Rohmaterialien und der natürlichen Färbemethoden. Die dargestellten und beschriebenen Motive und Gewebe stellen trotz, oder vielleicht wegen ihrer Einfachheit eine Besonderheit dar.
