| Abstract: | This collection of articles covers recent phenomena in the revival and modernization of a broad variety of Balinese performing arts in both old and new contexts, seen through a postmodern lens. The only one of its kind in more than a decade, this collection brings together authors from five continents, all of them experts in the ethnomusicological study of Balinese performing arts. For as long as Balinese performing arts development is documented, outside and inside trends have always been incorporated into existing music and dance traditions. Sometimes such new creations have evolved into new genres, supplanting older forms. Others have quickly died out again, or led to a revival of preceding genres. Contributors to this volume investigate how Balinese tradition is interpreted and re-interpreted through this constant change, and in which ways Balinese artists reflect upon what is 'Balinese' in postmodern times.
