Abstract

The study will interrogate and reconfigure the project of disclosing the heritage of ethnomusicologist Jaap Kunst. Jaap Kunst recorded a lot of Indonesian music while living in Indonesia in 1920-1934. The recordings used as teaching material and the development of ethnomusicology concepts at the University of Amsterdam. Now, after nearly 100 years, the Musicology Department of University van Amsterdam is initiating the opening of the Jaap Kunst legacy that has not yet published. Because this heritage is related to Indonesia's cultural history and memory, University van Amsterdam offers collaboration to academics and the Indonesian government. The cultural preservation towards explorations of cultural identity has long been a vision of the Indonesian government and written on the Indonesian Cultural Amendment. How the memory and identity stored in the Jaap Kunst materials reinterpreted in the post colonial era? How is ethnomusicology addressing this matter related shaping the colonial knowledge into the various subject positions and subject agencies of the participants, into the many layers of epistemological adaptation and appropriation that encrusted together, and into the cultural, aesthetic and artistic complexities of being subjected to colonial conditions, whether as colonizer or colonized? I assumed that tracking down Kunst's legacy was like taking a vacation at grandma's house, which brings back all the memories but not necessarily related to the present.
