Kawi International Summer School 2014
4th to 29th August

Old Javanese - known in Bali as Kawi, the language of poets - artfully
integrated lexemes, poetic meters and figures of speech from the world of
Sanskrit into an Austronesian linguistic base. It played a crucial role in
the artistic, ritual and sociopolitical life of pre-modern Java and Bali
and spread its influence over a large area of the Malay-Indonesian
archipelago. However, Kawi is not merely of historical interest; today it
is a distinct linguistic code within Balinese and Javanese that is crucial
for understanding how ethical and aesthetic ideals and the dynamics of
ritual practice are shaped by the textual and oral traditions of Kawi.

THE COURSE

The aim of this course is to provide the tools needed for reading works of
the prose (parwa) and verse (kakawin) forms of literature as well as
didactic and documentary works. Students from disciplines ranging from art
history and comparative religion to linguistics and comparative literature,
as well as  those focusing on some aspect of Indonesian society will
benefit from this course. To attend the course no prior experience is
required.

THE TEACHER

Thomas M. Hunter has been a student of Kawi for over thirty years and has
produced many articles and book chapters that focus on this important
cultural inheritance of the Indonesian archipelago. His research has been
supported by the NEH, The Institute for Advanced Study (Jerusalem) and the
Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. He currently lectures in Sanskrit, Indian
and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia.
