Abstract

Archaeological relevance for the present has become an important issue in the world of archaeology. This paper aims to examine how the biography of artefacts of pottery fragments from the old Banten site, the site of Banten Sultanate of the sixteenth century AD, became a marker of the cultural identity of Banten people today. These pottery fragments were studied using Michael Thompson’s rubbish theory (1979), which observes how the value of objects shifts from transient to rubbish to durable. Using the rubbish theory, archaeological practices that have only been aimed at scientific purposes can be useful for the people of Banten today. This paper will also discuss how people who have been ignored become an important part of archaeological practice and how archaeology can have an economic impact on today’s society.

Abstract

A cemetery is a land that is used as a place for burial of bodies. However, despite its obvious function, in European Christian culture which lasted for centuries, the view of the true cemetery was always changing, so that the function of the cemetery was often mixed with other completely unrelated functions of space. This phenomenon is highlighted by Foucault in his theory of heterotopia space (1967). In this regard, this study intends to look at other spaces based on the phenomena found in the Dutch Cemetery at the Bogor Botanical Garden. This cemetery is interesting to study using Foucault's heterotopia theory because of its relatively different location from the Dutch cemeteries in the Dutch East Indies at that time, which were generally located in a church environment or in an open field. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that in the Bogor Botanical Garden cemetery, there are other spaces which are manifested in three heterotopological principles, namely: the concept of heterotopia space of crisis and deviation, changes in the function of the cemetery, and the incorporation of other unrelated spaces.

Abstract

This article discusses the embodiment of the statues of the gods and goddesses at the Li Tie Guai Temple in West Jakarta. The embodiment of the statues in this temple is discussed using a life course perspective. The data used are all the statues of the gods in the temple, totaling thirty statues. The method used is study of literature and field data, followed by data processing which is done by classifying the statues into age, adult, teenager, and children as well as the shape of men, women, and others. The next stage is data interpretation. The results showed that there were more statues depicted in the forms of adults and old people compared to the forms of teenagers and children. This shows that from a life course perspective, a person during his or her lifetime becomes a god more when he or she is mature and old because the process of becoming a god requires special abilities and a purified soul that can be acquired over a long time. Then the embodiment of male statues is more numerous than the embodiment of female statues and others. This shows that in the past, especially in China, men had greater domination than women and others.

Abstract

This article discusses about bird symbolism in Persian Mysticism Poetry, because images of birds in Islamic mysticism are important symbols and are included in the prominent symbols among other symbols such as wine, roses and gardens. The bird symbol does not only have one single meaning, namely a symbol of the soul, but it also has another meaning. The bird symbol not only as a symbol of the soul but also as a symbol of certain people, experiences and creation. The Sufis who isolate themselves are symbolized as birds in the cage of exile, while Sufis who are killed are symbolized as holy birds that have returned to their nest. Those Sufis who meditate and concentrate are symbolized by birds of silence and the prophets, angels and saints are symbolized by birds flying in the heavenly garden.

Abstract

Nutmeg plantations in the Banda Islands, Central Maluku, had an important value in the early history of industrial development in Indonesia. The operational management of planting, maintaining, picking, processing, distribution and exercising power are some lessons learned. Plantations at that time also required various forms of human resource management, ranging from recruitment, division of labor, supervision and discipline of its workers. In this case the material culture reflects the mindset of the builders and managers of the time. Through descriptive qualitative methods, disciplinary problems related to the management of the nutmeg plantations are discussed by linking the concepts of technofact, sociofacts, ideofacts in archeology with the concept of panopticon as a disciplinary model proposed by Foucault. The goal is to explore the values that can be applied to the present from the remnants associated with the nutmeg plantations of the Banda Islands. The results obtained are related to the discipline model with archeological remains related to the management of nutmeg plantations. The concept of panopticon is still relevant today, with necessary modifications in the form of cultural products, and adjustments in the development of technology and information.

Abstract

The division of gender roles in space is already evident from the layout of traditional Javanese buildings, which reflects a patriarchal culture where men are at a higher level than women. These gender boundaries and norms are also reflected in the spatial form of public bath in Solo. This research uses the archaeological method by Deetz which consists of data collection, data processing, and data interpretation. Explaining by presenting facts based on data obtained in the field, then data processing is carried out by involving analysis of the field data that has been collected. The last stage is the interpretation of data on Mangkunegaran’s Solo public bath. The spatial layout is interpreted by considering the spatial and gender context. This research aims to understand how the understanding of the reconstruction of gender aspects is reflected in the form of a spatial system in Solo public bath built by Mangkunegaran. The results of this study show that gender, although an abstract social construction, has a real manifestation in the spatial layout of the building that can be observed through various aspects. The space designated for men contains primary and masculine values and has an open character, while the space for women contains secondary, feminine, and closed values. This research also found that the spatial arrangement reflects not only social status but also gender hierarchy.
