Description

Explore the rich cultural heritage of pencak silat through this comprehensive academic study that bridges ethnomusicology, ethnochoreology, performance theory, and anthropology. This volume, part of Brill's Southeast Asian Library series, examines how the pluripotent art form of pencak silat connects to Southeast Asian performing traditions and extends globally.

The book delves into local concepts surrounding ethics, society, spirituality, and personal development as expressed through the integrated practice of silat and music, offering readers insight into how martial arts function as cultural expressions rather than mere combat techniques.
