This short note examines 18th-century sources to shed light on how music and dance went to war in Java. Les royaumes de la Java pré-coloniale étaient des États martiaux, ainsi que les protecteurs d’un large éventail d’activités culturelles. Les représentations artistiques et la guerre étaient étroitement liées. L’art de la guerre et les récits sanglants de batailles sont omniprésents dans la littérature javanaise et le théâtre de wayang. La musique et la danse ont également joué des rôles cruciaux dans le monde réel de la guerre javanaise. Elles étaient utilisées lors de l’entraînement: ce que les Européens appelaient exercice militaire, les Javanais l’appelaient danse. Et elles étaient déployées en campagne et dans la bataille elle-même. Cette courte note examine des sources du XVIIIe siècle, afin d’éclairer la façon dont la musique et la danse allaient à la guerre à Java. |
