Sistem Nada Atau Tuning System pada Perangkat Gamelan Sekaten DI Surakarta, Yogyakarta, dan Cirebon

Sekaten atau Muludan merupakan peringatan hari kelahiran Nabi Muhammad SAW. Bunyi gamelan dikumandangkan di tiga kota yang memiliki sejarah kerajaan bercorak Islam-Jawa seperti Surakarta, Yogyakarta, dan Cirebon. Semua perangkat gamelan di ketiga kota tersebut menggunakan sistem nada mirip laras pelog pada karawitan Jawa pada umumnya. Meskipun terdengar seperti laras pelog, nada-nada yang ada di setiap perangkat gamelan tersebut sama sekali berbeda. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sebuah kajian khusus tentang pengukuran frekuensi dan jangkah nada yang dilakukan dengan metode deskripsi analitis dan pendekatan etnomusikologi. Hasil pengukuran frekuensi dan jangkah nada menghasilkan pengetahuan bahwa: (1) Perbedaan sistem nada mirip laras pelog terletak pada karakteristik, rasa, dan nuansa yang dihasilkan; (2) Ada beberapa perangkat gamelan yang rentang nada atau ambitusnya sangat sulit ditirukan oleh suara sopran manusia; dan (3) Pada sepasang gamelan di tiap kota yang sama, memiliki karakteristik, rasa, dan nuansa yang berbeda juga yang diakibatkan oleh adanya perbedaan frekuensi nada dari masing-masing instrumen. Catatan mengenai data musikal ini merupakan arsip penting bagi peneliti dan praktisi di bidang ilmu Etnomusikologi, Karawitan, maupun Musikologi di Nusantara

Citing/Siting Transnational Feminisms: Academic and Activist Epistemologies

This dissertation addresses the place of transnational feminist activisms (TFA) and especially transnational feminist activist knowledges (TFAK) within the emerging field of transnational feminist studies (TFS). It investigates how TFS developed with so little engagement with TFA/K. The central question used to explore the gap between TFA and TFS is: how is “transnational feminisms” socially and conceptually organized? Using a blended methodology drawn from institutional ethnography and political activist ethnography, I conduct a textual analysis of the academic TF literature as data. More specifically, I explore how conventional scholarly practices socially and conceptually organize the orientations taken by Northern university-based scholars to transnational feminist activisms and their knowledges. I argue that these academic knowledge production practices – citational praxis, citational theorizing, citational disciplining, definitional debates, and frame replacement – have operated and continue to operate as field-building mechanisms during the period when transnational feminisms emerge within the North American academy, constraining lines of inquiry, priorities, and interlocutors. I contend that TFA/K are overwritten in this process, skewing the development of TFS away from movement-engagement and towards a recentering of North American academic positionalities. This interdisciplinary dissertation draws upon Social Movement Learning (SML) and my own experiential learning through TFA in Japan/Asia, in order to suggest ways to make activists’ informal learning (IL) and TF movement knowledges more visible in TFS. I argue for the importance of recognizing the context-specific nature of TF activist and academic epistemologies as well as the importance of consciously shifting scholarly orientations to TFAK and IL. The dissertation makes a number of original contributions. It is the first in-depth study to offer an examination of the potential for a synthesis of TFS and SML. The data analysis offers original insights about: a) the role of citational disciplining and citational theorizing within TFS, b) the social and conceptual organization of scholarly orientations towards TFA/K through conventional and subversive academic knowledge production practices that function as field-building mechanisms during the emergence of the field of TFS, c) the ways in which North American scholarly positionalities are recentered even in much TF scholarship on TFA, and d) strategies to make visible and explicit the informal learning and knowledge production that are central to TFA through an interdisciplinary TFS/SML framework

Alley coppice: combining willow SRC with poplar and cherry trees

PosterShort Rotation willow Coppice (SRC) is an important source of biomass energy in Ireland. Growing and intensively managing trees at wide spacing generates high value timber, sequesters carbon and delivers other ecosystem services. The alley coppice system combines the production of SRC with high value timber trees. Three alley coppice experiments were established to study the interaction of SRC with high value timber trees. In Experiment 1 the cherry variety - willow interaction is investigated: 5 willow varieties (and a mixture of all 5); (‘Resolution’, ‘Beagle’, ‘Endeavour’, ‘Olaf’ and ‘Terra Nova’) interact with rows of clonal wild cherry: ‘Neso’, ‘Pluto’, ‘Saturn’, ‘Hermes’ and ‘Concordia’ and one control of seedlings. The willow is planted in double rows 0.75m by 1.5m apart. Cherry trees are planted at an intra-row tree to tree spacing of 2.5m and inter-row spacing of 12.75m and alley widths of 1m & 2 m. In Experiment 2, 18 year old poplars (‘Hoogwoorst’, ‘Beaupre’, ‘Gebec’ ‘Trichobel’) are 5m apart in 14m wide alleys, planted with each of the 7 willow varieties (6 monoculture – as above in Experiment 1 but including ‘Tora’ & one mixed willow treatment simulating commercial planting). In Experiment 3, cherry are inter-planted along an existing commercial SRC as single tree plots in a linear randomised design. Cherry trees are 2.5m apart in rows; each is 2.5 m from nearest willow stool. Each block contains 5 sub plots. Each sub plot contains 26 tree genotypes: 22 German varieties, 2 French varieties and seedlings as controls. For each experiment the growth and yield of the tree and SRC components and their interactions will be measured and evaluated
