Chapter Two focuses on the idea of cultural heritage, as embodied in recent debates over the place of Balinese language instruction in the national curriculum. As with the examples from the previous chapter, public discussion of the curriculum was characterized by a juxtaposition of contrasting assumptions regarding the nature of Balinese script and the uses to which it might be put. A series of examples are presented to show how each of these styles of writing was allied to a different style of reasoning. With Balinese letters caught between competing articulations of agency, materiality and what it means to be ‘alive’, the question becomes one of specifying ‘writing’ as an object of study. Extrapolating from the scholarship on language ecology, the chapter considers the argument for approaching writing as a practice embedded in a broader ‘way of life’—a concept that will itself turn out to be problematic.

This chapter introduces the ethnographic context and theoretical problematic for the book’s approach to Balinese writing practices. It argues that contemporary uses of the island’s traditional script are caught between conflicting articulations of human flourishing and collective life. There is first the state-bureaucratic articulation of reform Hinduism, for which Balinese letters figure primarily as a symbol of cultural heritage. But there is also the broadly western philological assumption that script serves as a neutral medium for the expression and transmission of textual meaning—an idea that has long defined scholarly approaches to religious traditions in the wider region. Balinese practices of apotropaic writing – on palm-leaves, amulets and bodies – challenge both of these notions, and yet they coexist alongside them. The question is how to theorize the coexistence of these seemingly contradictory sensibilities.

This chapter develops the contrast between styles of writing – and of reasoning – by reflecting on the Balinese notion that written letters are ‘alive’. Starting from the pragmatic assumption that ‘life’ is what living things do, it examines the ‘uses and acts of aksara (letters)’ in the village community of Batan Nangka. Here we discover that life – at least in Balinese – is less a state than it is a set of relations. As with villages, granaries and human bodies, the written characters of the Balinese alphabet are forged and perdure through their ongoing participation in a complex of relationships—both internal to themselves and with others. This may begin with the linkage of their constituent elements, and subsequent affixation to other letters (e.g., in palm-leaf manuscripts). But it seems the life of letters, as with other living objects, is ultimately contingent on a form of solidarity grounded in reciprocal obligation.

This chapter argues for the idea of tradition as the temporal condition of practice. It is suggested that anthropologists and historians necessarily presuppose tradition – or something like it – when they set out to interpret other people’s practices as reasonable human action. The chapter reviews positive, genealogical and operationalized models of tradition, as applied to Southeast Asian culture and society. But each comes up wanting. So, as an alternative, the chapter returns to MacIntyre to examine his approach to tradition as an ‘argument extended through time’. This account of tradition is considered with specific reference to a public ritual-cum-parade called the Grebeg Aksara, which was organized by the Balinese scholar and public intellectual, Ida Wayan Oka Granoka. As with MacIntyre’s account of practice (Chapter 5), the ethnography seems to suggest certain limitations in his approach to tradition.
这一章论证了传统作为实践的时间条件的观点。有人认为，当人类学家和历史学家开始把别人的行为解释为合理的人类行为时，他们必然预设传统——或类似传统的东西。本章回顾了积极的、宗谱的和可操作的传统模式，并将其应用于东南亚文化和社会。但每个人都有所欠缺。因此，作为另一种选择，本章回到麦金太尔，考察他作为“穿越时间的论证”的传统方法。这种传统的叙述被认为是与一个名为Grebeg Aksara的公共仪式和游行有关，该仪式是由巴厘岛学者和公共知识分子Ida Wayan Oka Granoka组织的。正如麦金太尔对实践的描述(第5章)一样，民族志似乎表明他对传统的研究方法存在一定的局限性。

Chapter Five takes the question of practice and cultural complexity as its point of departure. Stepping back from the ethnography to consider some of the broader issues at stake, it is noted that so-called ‘practice theory’ seems to cover a diverse range of approaches with equally disparate understandings of what constitutes a practice and the conditions under which enquiry might proceed. It is shown that recourse to ‘the facts’ does not offer viable grounds for adjudicating between conflicting accounts. And so an alternative route is proposed, by way of comparing the central questions, presuppositions and projects of transformation embodied in the work of two prominent social theorists—Alasdair MacIntyre and Pierre Bourdieu.

The eighth chapter concludes by recapitulating the argument and drawing out its wider implications for the study of religion, script and writing in Southeast Asia and beyond. Three key unresolved issues are also addressed: whether it is ultimately coherent to posit practice as an ‘object of study’; whether taking purpose and presupposition as ‘prologues to action’ entails a residual ethnocentrism; and, finally, to what extent the book’s findings may suggest limitations to Pollock's conception of ‘the Sanskrit cosmopolis’.
