Examines the impact of the tourism, video-/audiocassette, & TV industries & of the cultural policies of the Indonesian government on regional performing arts in Indonesia: the tourism industry is trying to make the arts more appealing to transient visitors; the cassette industry is trying to commodify them; the government's programs are trying to make the arts into instruments for national development; & the TV industry continually expresses patronizing attitudes toward rural Indonesian society. However, while these political & economic forces work together, they do not constitute a single, unified force. Thus, resistance to the changes they promote requires recognition of the particularities of their aims & tendencies. 44 References. Adapted from the source document
