2 Last week we looked at the traditional art of Japan. In this week's lecture we're going to move south and look at the very special way in which art has developed in the beautiful island of Bali, which is now part of Indonesia. I'll begin by giving you a brief historical overview. It's thought that the first inhabitants of Bali were farmers who arrived around 3000 BC at the beginning of the Iron Age. They probably originally came from China, and in Bali they cultivated rice and built temples ornamented with wood and stone carvings and statues.The Hindu religion was introduced in the 14th century AD, and this has remained the main religion on the island. This was an important period in the artistic development of the island, when sculptors, poets, priests and painters worked together in the service of the ruling families. Rather than painting everyday scenes, artists concentrated on narrative paintings illustrating the epic stories of Hinduism. Bali's rich natural resources have always made it an alluring goal for merchants, and from the 17th century onwards Dutch ships visited the island to trade in spices and luxury goods. Gradually the old royal families lost their power, and eventually in 1906 the Dutch East Indies Company was founded, and the island became a colony. In the 20th century, art then took on a very different role, as a tool accessible to everyone in the fight of the Bali-Niz people against colonisation rather than as the property of a minority. Shortly after this, in the 1920s, stories of the beauty of the island of Bali began to spread around the world, and Bali-Niz art underwent another vast transformation with the advent of tourism to the island. At first, this was only on a small scale, but it had important effects. Ex-patriot artists from Holland and Germany settled on the island, bringing paper, Chinese ink and other new materials with them. They worked with local artists, encouraging them to experiment with concepts like naturalism, expressionism, light and perspective, as well as to move away from the traditional focus on narrative painting towards something closer to their own experience. When independence came in 1945, this desire for an art to match a new national identity became stronger, and the traditional narrative paintings started to give way to scenes showing the everyday life of the Bali-Niz people, harvests, market scenes and daily tasks, as well as the myths and legends of their history. Part 2: For questions 6-10, Tim Cole talking about guidebooks and decide whether the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. 6. Once, when Tim used a guidebook in Australia, it took him ages to find the place he was looking for. F 7. Tim believes the problem with guidebooks is that some of them are very poorly researched. F 8. The thing Tim particularly dislikes about guidebooks is the recommendations about where to eat. T 9. Other things which should be included in guidebooks are clear and detailed maps of the area. T
3 10. Tim likes the fact that digital guidebooks are tailored to your individual requirements. F TRANSCRIPT The problem is that too many travellers are too trusting of their guidebooks and don't bother to research even the most basic facts before they set off. Some guidebooks are only updated every couple of years, so it's no wonder many things have moved on by the time you get there. The most important thing when choosing a guidebook is to check the publication date; if it's not within the last twelve months, don't buy it. Then the other thing to think about is who the guidebook is aimed at. If you're into the history and culture of a place, don't buy a guidebook full of information on the alternative nightlife scene. But my pet hate, and something I'm always extremely wary of, are the restaurant suggestions. So often I've turned up somewhere and the menu, price and décor bear no relation to the place I've been reading about – if they haven't already gone out of business and shut down, that is. Other things to look out for in a guidebook are the maps. These need to be detailed but not so small you can't read them. You don't want to have to carry a magnifying glass around with you. Books that include unnecessary information are another thing I find annoying – like photos of famous places, for example. We already know what the Eiffel tower looks like! Why not include more background information instead? Of course, most guidebooks are also now available in a digital format and many travellers prefer using these because they're obviously not heavy to carry, so you can download as many as you like. But I don't find them easy to use at all because navigation is much harder than flicking through the index at the back of a book. Life's just too short and you can never guarantee you'll have wifi access anyway. Until I can get a digital travel guide which is tailor-made for my individual trip, I'm happy to stick with the traditional form of guidebook. Part 3: For questions 11-15, listen to part of a discussion programme, in which a teacher called Simon and a business journalist called Trina are talking about the issue of change, and choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which fits best according to what you hear. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. 11. What does Simon say about change when discussing linguistic expressions? A. It is an inevitable part of life. B. It is generally perceived as unwelcome. C. Its significance has altered over time. 12. What do they agree about change in the business community? A. It is regarded as synonymous with progress.
4 B. It is seen as unfortunate but necessary. C. It never seems to be questioned. 13. What does Trina dislike about feedback forms? A. the scale of the reaction they can provoke B. the disharmony they can create within organisations C. the extent of their use in the world of education 14. When discussing day-to-day routines, Simon and Trina agree that people _____. A. experience an ongoing cycle of resisting and accepting change. B. find that changes in the workplace mirror those in daily life. C. only like change that clearly benefits them personally. 15. In Simon’s view, people will really enjoy an activity if _____. A. they do it on a regular basis. B. they keep on changing it slightly. C. it represents a change for them. TRANSCRIT TRINA: If I could just come in here, Simon. I mean, there are loads of expressions in most languages to the effect that change is a good thing. In English, for example, someone who doesn't embrace change is said to be stuck in his ways. If we're tired of being indoors or watching TV, we say we need a change of scenery. Then there's a proverb which goes, a change is as good as a rest. So all these are positive views of change, promoting change is something which suggests a whole host of worthy experiences to do with newness, difference, the excitement of the unknown, the adventure of the unpredictable. SIMON: True, Trina. But there's also a saying, don't fix it if it ain't broke. And there's another which is change for change's sake. So this is the other side of the coin. And these are expressions which represent change as something threatening because they disturb the existing equilibrium. And I could quite easily feel both of these contrasting sentiments at different times. TRINA: What about change in the business world? I think anyone who fails to move with the times, update and adjust is doomed because otherwise the product or service in question will no longer be relevant as time moves on. It's even a requirement of high level jobs specified in management contracts. It's taken as red that you have to embrace change and you're a fool if you don't. It's not even on the discussion table. The result, in practice, can be quite bewildering with constantly shifting goals and policies and an obsession with rebranding and changing names for everything. SIMON: But in many companies it's tantamount to high treason to express a dissenting voice of conservatism. Or to be seen to be putting a spanner in the works. Change is a given. TRINA: Actually, that puts me in mind of something that's evident in all walks of life, even education and that's feedback forms. There's a bit of an obsession with being customer-led and constantly asking for customer feedback in the form of questionnaires.
