“…Clearly national and local government are not wholly compromised and between the lines, advances are being made, so we do not wish to suggest a return to “The New Middle Ages” (Eco, 1987). Nonetheless the resulting clash of ideologies based in proto-feudal and vernacular local culture have begun to mobilize Balinese people to an unprecedented level, indicating that improvements are insufficient and tardy (Suartika, 2019; Suartika & Saputra, 2019). But despite the apparent focus on religion qua ideology as the bedrock, and the prevalent consciousness of ethnicity and caste as social divisions, it is clear that more substantial distinctions must be made (Hobart, 2015).…”

In a prior paper (Suartika, Zerby, & Cuthbert, 2018), cultural space and its social meaning were examined in detail. While the three main gateways into culture were analyzed, the actual processes through which culture is abstracted by capital were not discussed. Below we seek to advance on our initial model. Hence the dominant processes by which culture is both politicized and commodified by capital are explored using political economy as a reference point. Historically, appropriation and exploitation have dominated the development process universally. But while they remain functional, they have lost much of their relevance. We maintain that expropriation is now on the ascendant, a process we call sleight of hand due to the closeted nature of expropriation processes. Since all three principles are frequently used in isolation or conflated to each other in error, the paper first clarifies terminology before exploring their relevance for Bali. We then outline the nature of resultant conflicts, with examples from nature, economy and ideology using the littoral zone as exemplary of tourism impacts. In conclusion, we suggest that processes of expropriation establish a baseline for understanding how culture is used to further political and economic agendas in Bali.

There have been many policies and strategies on community empowerment programs aimed at realizing prosperous villages. There was a model of empowering social institutions as an effort to increase social resilience by the Ministry of Social Affairs, measured by four indicators: (1) ability to protect the vulnerable villagers; (2) participation in social organizations; (3) ability to prevent social conflicts; and (4) ability to maintain local knowledge for managing natural and social resources. However, the model experiences obstacles, such as high dependency on government assistance, its ceremonial nature, and obscurity in institutions and human resources to actuate. Therefore, research is needed to reformulate the socially resilient village. This research uses qualitative methods through literature studies, interviews, and observations. The results show that social resilience is manifested in terms of togetherness and cooperation among villagers by utilizing local potential and knowledge. Another finding is the ability of communities to access digital technology positively.

Tri Hita Karana is a symbolization of happiness for Hindus People in Bali. To reach the bless from Tri Hita Karana, Balinese people must always make a harmonies relationship with God (Parahyangan), with human being (Pawongan) and with Environment (Palemahan). There are two types of villages in Bali: plain Bali villages, which are younger and found in the island's plains, and mountain Bali villages (Bali Aga), which are older, traditional settlements. Taro Village, one of Bali's oldest traditional villages, is made up of 14 banjars and is renowned for its rich cultural legacy. It also served as the model for the island's subak system. The identification of Tri Hita Karana elements adopted by the Taro Village community is attempted to be explained in this article. This study employed an exploratory qualitative methodology that included literature research and in-person observation. The study's findings demonstrate how Tri Hita Karana is practiced in Taro Village, Bali, as evidenced by the variety of customary rituals and the community's commitment to upholding the harmony of nature, humanity, and spirit in daily life. Index Terms— Bali Aga, Taro Village, Parahyangan, Pawongan, Palemahan.
