description | <p class="Abstract">Bali is one
of the cultural tourism destinations in Indonesia. As a well-known tourism
destination, tourism industry in Bali has generated huge economic benefits for
the Balinese people. The development of Bali tourism industry is started in the
Dutch East Indies era. The colonial government attempted to prevent another
bloody war with Bali’s local kingdoms to preserve the law and order in Dutch
East Indies. To improve their relations with Bali’s local kingdom, the colonial
government introduced the Baliseering policy as a pro-local culture policy to
preserve Balinese culture from a foreign culture. However, <span lang="IN" style="">the</span> colonial government used Baliseering
to isolate Bali from Indonesian nationalism movement in Java. Another agenda
behind Baliseering policy is to develop Bali as a new tourism destination in
Dutch East Indies. To encourage the development of Bali's tourism industry<span lang="IN" style="">, </span>Bali is promoted as a culturally
rich island with bare-chested women, these promotions created the idea of a
hidden paradise. This study aims to explain Baliseering as a reductionism
project from Vandana Shiva’s ecofeminism approach. Baliseering has exploited
Balinese culture and environment and destroyed the ideal relations between
Balinese people. With Vandana Shiva’s ecofeminism approach, Baliseering is seen
as another patriarchal-capitalist reductionism project. Reductionism <span lang="IN" style="">in</span> Baliseering policy foundations
perpetuates epistemic injustice in Bali. This study is philosophical research
on actual problems with a descriptive approach. This research uses the
philosophical hermeneutic method with methodological elements consisting of
description, historical continuity, and critical reflection.<o:p></o:p></p> |
