Thesis (Ph.D.)--Cornell University, 1990.

This thesis explores the idiom of family cast as patronage and personalized debt in Javanese firms, and juxtaposed with contract piecework in an era of increased commodity production. Chapter one discusses familial relations in the social organization of households in West Kudus, the urban compounds surrounding a mosque in a Javanese town, in which residents distinguish the circulation of talk and debt relations from the circulation of money in everyday life. Chapter two poses a similar distinction embodied in cigarettes as a commodity. It contrasts the history of smoking with the local historiography of cigarette production, as it is appropriated as a source of meaning for tax revenues in the New Order. Chapter three describes the current system of patronage of a particular cigarette firm through the social distinctions of pieceworkers and staff, the exploitation of casual labor as well as the physical conditions for factory workers, the fatigue and commuting involved for rural women. This chapter highlights how conflicts are deferred in the workplace, and relations of debt are recirculated within the factory complex.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This thesis explores the idiom of family cast as patronage and personalized debt in Javanese firms, and juxtaposed with contract piecework in an era of increased commodity production. Chapter one discusses familial relations in the social organization of households in West Kudus, the urban compounds surrounding a mosque in a Javanese town, in which residents distinguish the circulation of talk and debt relations from the circulation of money in everyday life. Chapter two poses a similar distinction embodied in cigarettes as a commodity. It contrasts the history of smoking with the local historiography of cigarette production, as it is appropriated as a source of meaning for tax revenues in the New Order. Chapter three describes the current system of patronage of a particular cigarette firm through the social distinctions of pieceworkers and staff, the exploitation of casual labor as well as the physical conditions for factory workers, the fatigue and commuting involved for rural women. This chapter highlights how conflicts are deferred in the workplace, and relations of debt are recirculated within the factory complex.
520 $a In chapter four, the issue of conflict is explored in another setting, the West Kudus neighborhoods, to show how a rhetoric of social harmony (rukun) shapes strategies for living with conflict among firm owners and employees, relatives, and neighbors in the compounds. These strategies also heighten the possibility of specific ties of patronage, as neighbors retreat from normative reciprocal exchange and contest relative shifts in fortune or access to new sources of prestige. Chapter five returns to the cigarette factory workshops to consider strategies of living with conflict in the workplace as well. Specifically, it examines the constraints of clocktime which oppose the interests of owners, staff, and pieceworkers, and some of the ways gifts of patronage serve to defer conflict.
