eCompanion to Oral Tradition (20, i)
eCompanions complement the articles that appear in the physical and virtual pages of the journal itself with such supplementary aids as streaming audio and video, photographs, and ancillary text-based items such as bibliographies and appendices. These eCompanions are meant to accomplish what the article by its very nature cannot: to fill in some of the background of real-life context and experience that is by convention eliminated from even the most carefully prepared textual document. Hopefully, they will help the reader to become a better, more faithful audience for the oral tradition under consideration.
This issue's eCompanion includes streaming audio clips of early sound recordings and North Indian songs, video clips of Javanese dance, stills and photographs from the making of two films, and a link to further supplementary material on "Performance in Indonesia."
