"This article deals with systems of transmission of knowledge. The author looks into the kanuragan of the Javanese and its transformation into a modern form, along with the consequences of this transformation. Traditional kanuragan instruction is primarily oral and centers on intermediary roles and social intercourse, and it is conducted in space that is cosmographically meaningful. In contrast, modern individualistic instruction-rooted in early Greek philosophy and events in the European Middle Age-is highly formalized and linked to economic concerns, leading to an individualism with little regard for one's surroundings. The author suggests that the Javanese kanuragan has been partially transformed by this modern system. Thus, the transmission of knowledge is increasingly divorced from the transmission of morals and affect that form the basis of one's actions and social relationships. The author also notes that scholars would gain much from understanding the kanuragan in their efforts to understand current Indonesian Society."

"The volume is introduced with discussion of these mundane details not only because anthropologists are supposed to report context. We also wish to underline the role of AITs as enablers of the discussion of their cultural correlates that follows. While anthropologists have long encouraged global thinking, existing technologies allowed us to act on our thoughts with greater dispatch. We want this issue of JAI to have a similarly reverberating impact, broadening the issues on the agenda of both Indonesianist anthropology and cyberspace ethnography."
