Through the Eyes of Researcher: Cockfights and the Balinese Male Psyche
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008 by Sidarta WijayaHere is an interesting article written by Arthur Asa Berger, PhD on cockfight and Balinese men.
William Ingram begins his superb memoir of his experiences living with a Balinese family, A Little Bit of One O’Clock, describing the sounds of cocks crowing. He writes (1998:13):
I woke to the sound of roosters. There were hundreds of them. The nearest was right beside my room on the waist-high compound wall. Others scrabbled and crowed in a neighboring bamboo grove. The calls from across the whole village blended into a constant wailing. The crowing of roosters is one of the basic sounds of Bali. You hear them all the time, making their presence felt by their seemingly endless crowing.
