Abstract

This article examines udep saree, matee syahid; an Acehnese hadih maja expression translated here as "shared dignified life and martyr's death" as a local ethical vocabulary through which anti-colonial resistance in Aceh can be interpreted. Although the expression functions as a single proverbial unit, this study analyzes its two constituent ethical orientations in relational terms, arguing that their meanings are mutually constitutive rather than independent. Drawing on qualitative document analysis, the study engages a corpus that includes hadih maja collections, Acehnese cultural materials, historical accounts, colonial and postcolonial scholarship, news-based memory sources, filmic representations, and memorial inscriptions. The findings demonstrate that udep saree articulates an ethical orientation toward dignity, solidarity, reciprocity, and religious responsibility in communal life, while matee syahid designates a limit condition in which those same values, ie., religious commitment, dignity, and communal obligation, are sustained through sacrificial readiness under colonial domination. Together, the two expressions constitute a shared moral horizon through which resistance was rendered ethically intelligible within Acehnese local moral worlds. This article contributes to heritage studies and postcolonial ethics by demonstrating how proverbial traditions function as repositories of ethical reasoning and how attending to such traditions complicates reductive accounts of resistance as pathology, religious fanaticism, or violence alone.

Abstract

This study examines how religious meaning is publicly expressed and sustained through the Rapai, a communal frame-drum performance tradition from Aceh, Indonesia, and how its continuity across conflict and post-conflict periods reflects social resilience. Using a lived religion perspective, the article draws on qualitative document and visual analysis of publicly available materials, including textual, visual, institutional, and academic sources. The findings show that Rapai persisted through actions such as safeguarding instruments, maintaining intermittent performances during conflict, reorganising groups, and transmitting repertoire through schools, festivals, and community associations in the post-conflict era. These patterns indicate that Rapai operates as an embodied cultural-religious practice in which coordinated participation, devotional language, bodily discipline, and intergenerational learning support communal orientation during instability and recovery. The study analyses publicly documented expressions of lived religion rather than private religious experience. By situating the analysis in a Muslim-majority and post-conflict context, the article contributes to broader discussions of lived religion, cultural performance, and social resilience by showing how Rapai sustains religious memory, social ties, and communal orientation across conflict and post-conflict conditions. The article therefore treats Rapai as a public practice where art, devotion, memory, and communal discipline intersect in the work of surviving violence and rebuilding social life after the conflict in Aceh.
