ritual and cultural reproduction in non‐Islamic Java

Abstract

Recent studies link the problem of cultural transmission to the larger issue of how we conceptualize cultural history and integration. I address this question here by examining reproduction and change in lava's only surviving Indic priesthood. The conflict of meanings characteristic of priestly and popular ritual culture in modern Tengger has a history shaped by the differing modes of cultural transmission around which this non‐Islamic tradition was organized. I also raise some questions as to the relation of social order to cultural form and of public symbolism to private thought, [cultural transmission, religious change, Indonesia, Islam and Hinduism, myth and ritual]
