Tracing Patterns of Textiles in Ancient Java (8th–15th century) (original) (raw)
Abstract
Author(s): Sardjono, Sandra | Advisor(s): Williams, Joanna; Klokke, Marijke | Abstract: Few attempts have been made to study the numerous textile depictions in Java from the eighth to fifteenth centuries, also known as the Hindu-Buddhist or the Ancient Javanese Period. This thesis seeks for the textiles that inspired these depictions and considers their techniques. It also traces the evolution of particular patterns in Java over time. To do so, I employ close art-historical analysis of works of art and draw supportive materials from archaeology, epigraphy and literature, as well as ethnography. After the introductory chapter, Chapters One and Two focus each on a different textile pattern: the connected circles and the overlapping circles patterns. These chapters follow the evolution of the patterns with particular interest to search for connections to current textile tradition in Indonesia. A similar approach of inquiry is applied in Chapter Three to a type of short sleeve jacket. C...

The CT theory evolved from the diffusionist theory (DT), put forward by among others, Franz Boas. DT examined historical relatedness with the basic idea that proximity generates more common elements than distance. Furthermore, similarity is more likely a result of dissemination of information rather than to independent creation. Modern CT differs from DT in its emphasis on evaluating the individual's actions and decision as measure to predict the rate of transmission (related to the Darwinian theory).
