Culture, Power and Identity the Case of Ang Hien Hoo, Malang

This paper discusses the intricate relations between culture and identity in a web of larger power structures of politics and the market by looking at the ways in which the Indonesian Chinese attach themselves to a local performing arts tradition. The paper focuses on the history of the wayang orang amateur club called Ang Hien Hoo in Malang, East Java, which emerged from a Chinese diaspora burial association, to attract national limelight in the 1950s and 1960s. In this paper, I see this amateur club as a site, not only for cultural assimilation, but also as a meeting space for the diverse migrant Chinese population residing at a host country. The space is used to negotiate their position as citizens responsible to promote and to become patrons of local traditional performing arts. The paper examines how this amateur club was swept by the Cold War politics and national political turmoil of 1965, and how it fought to survive under the pressures of the global capitalist era. What emerges from the findings is the contradictory fact that the identification of the Chinese with the Javanese traditional performing arts is affirmed precisely as it is marked by Chineseness. Thus, despite the cultural blending, the Chinese Indonesian\u27s patronage of local traditional art continuously reproduces the double bind of making home in the culture not seen as their own

The derived moduli stack of shifted symplectic structures

We introduce and study the derived moduli stack $\mathrm{Symp}(X,n)$ of $n$-shifted symplectic structures on a given derived stack $X$, as introduced by [PTVV] (IHES Vol. 117, 2013). In particular, under reasonable assumptions on $X$, we prove that $\mathrm{Symp}(X, n)$ carries a canonical shifted quadratic form. This generalizes a classical result of Fricke and Habermann, which was established in the $C^{\infty}$-setting, to the broader context of derived algebraic geometry, thus proving a conjecture stated by Vezzosi.Comment: 17 page

Poisson bivectors and Poisson brackets on affine derived stacks

Let Spec(A) be an affine derived stack. We give two proofs of the existence of a canonical map from the moduli space of shifted Poisson structures (in the sense of Pantev-To\"en-Vaqui\'e-Vezzosi, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.3209 ) on Spec(A) to the moduli space of homotopy (shifted) Poisson algebra structures on A. The first makes use of a more general description of the Poisson operad and of its cofibrant models, while the second in more computational and involves an explicit resolution of the Poisson operad.Comment: 23 pages.

Formality criteria for algebras over operads

We study some formality criteria for differential graded algebras over differential graded operads. This unifies and generalizes other known approaches like the ones by Manetti and Kaledin. In particular, we construct general operadic Kaledin classes and show that they provide obstructions to formality. Moreover, we show that an algebra A is formal if and only if its operadic cohomology spectral sequence degenerates at $E_2$.Comment: 17 page

Pengaruh Partisipasi Anggaran Terhadap Budgetary Slack Dengan Asimetri Informasi Sebagai Variabel Moderasi

This study aims to determine whether the asimetry information may affect the relationship between budgetary participation and budgetary slack.. The population of this study are all the headmasters of private high school in Palembang city. Samples were determined by using purposive sampling method. The research sample obtained 31 school. Hypothesis testing using moderation regression analysis with SPSS ver. 16.0. The test results showed that asimetry information is not able to moderate the relation between budgetary participation and budgetary slack
