This dissertation analyzes experiences of self and identity in "modern" Central Java, Indonesia, through narratives of mental affliction and healing. These stories of individual and social suffering reveal how personal desires and public ideals are expressed and contested in an increasingly globalized Javanese cultural landscape. This research contests popular ideas of the Javanese self that argue the centrality of public ideals such as deference and hierarchy in identity-construction. By eliciting the ways in which these ideals are frequently subverted or ignored amidst the urgencies of mental illness episodes, this project demonstrates the importance of identity markers such as gender, class, place, and personal history in the generation of Javanese selves. It is argued that a broader view that encompasses these multiple dimensions of the self is needed.

520 $a This dissertation analyzes experiences of self and identity in "modern" Central Java, Indonesia, through narratives of mental affliction and healing. These stories of individual and social suffering reveal how personal desires and public ideals are expressed and contested in an increasingly globalized Javanese cultural landscape. This research contests popular ideas of the Javanese self that argue the centrality of public ideals such as deference and hierarchy in identity-construction. By eliciting the ways in which these ideals are frequently subverted or ignored amidst the urgencies of mental illness episodes, this project demonstrates the importance of identity markers such as gender, class, place, and personal history in the generation of Javanese selves. It is argued that a broader view that encompasses these multiple dimensions of the self is needed.
520 $a This research also shows that popular conceptions that the Javanese repress emotions in the service of social deference and hierarchy are similarly problematic and situation-dependent. When mental health is at stake, as it often is in the desires and disappointments of contemporary Javanese life, and in social and clinical encounters, emotional expression becomes a contested and political issue. The ideal of emotional repression and "flat affect" reveals a convergence of public culture, and social and political forces that seek to suppress dissent.
520 $a This project also analyzes the ways that global idioms of distress, such as the language of the "psychological" and of psychiatry, increasingly inform the discourse on mental suffering in Java, in dialogue with Javanese beliefs and practices. An analysis of psychiatric diagnoses in Yogyakarta, for instance, reveals the importance of Javanese beliefs about emotion in the formation of such diagnoses. Another analysis of the relationship between gender and hospital discharge suggests different expectations about course and outcome of illness episodes. And follow-up ethnographic study of mentally ill patients in Yogyakarta suggests the argument for good course and outcome for this setting may be problematic.
