Abstract

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 from 1919-1934. The recording is used as teaching material and the development of ethnomusicology concepts as knowledge. 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 been published. Because this heritage is related to Indonesia's cultural history and memory, University van Amsterdam collaborates with academics from Indonesia and trying to find support from the Indonesian Government. This article will reveal the dynamic relationship between Jaap Kunst legacies as a historical artifact and a site of forgetting, remembering, and history-making. How were the memory and identity stored in the Jaap Kunst materials reinterpreted in the postcolonial era? How is ethnomusicology addressing this matter related to shaping the colonial knowledge into the various subject positions? Keywords: Jaap Kunst, legacy, ethnomusicology, colonial, post-colonial
