2. Clara Brakel (Monash University) takes a comprehensive look at Javanese dances and considères the much-debated question of their connection with the dances of India. The problem is a complex one ; certain resemblances can be seen (for example the choice of themes borrowed from the great epics Râmâyana or Màhàbhârata) ; but caution is called for, since the contexts appear to have been very different, and the opposition gagdh/ halus does not correspond very closely with the opposition tândava/lâsya which obtains in India
