Abstract

Abstract Javanese literary works are considered as high-quality literary works. This is closely related to the noble values ​​contained in Javanese literary works. The teachings or noble values ​​in this Javanese literary work are usually referred to as piwulang literary works, namely works that originate from religious values ​​or teachings that come from God. One of the Javanese literary works with piwulang nuances is Sêrat Bayanolah. This work tells about the journey of a panatagama at the Yogyakarta Palace in discovering the true essence of life. To understand this concept is not easy because in reality there are many deviant schools of thought and religion which can derail people from the right path. This research was conducted in a descriptive qualitative manner. The data source used was Sêrat Bayanolah by Raden Panji Natarata, which was collected by the Museum of Reksa Pustaka Pura Mangkunegaran, Surakarta. Based on the research results, it was found that the essence of man as a creature is not the same as the essence of God (God) as the Creator. Besides, interpreting the concept of life and death must be adjusted to Islamic teachings because in reality there are still scholars and knowledgeable people who still misunderstand the concept of life and death. Keywords: Sêrat Bayanolah, Javanese script, deviations, faith

Abstract

This ethnolinguistic study explores the cultural, moral, and socio-political dimensions of social assistance discourse among citizens of Surakarta, Indonesia. Critical to addressing economic inequality, social assistance programs are examined through linguistic analysis of discourse digital ethnographically observed from January to March 2024, coinciding with increased political activity surrounding the presidential election. Data are drawn from social media discussions, which reveal the complex interaction between Javanese cultural values and contemporary socio-political realities in shaping perceptions of social assistance distribution. The results show that people in Surakarta view social assistance as a political ploy that exploits people's daily living conditions and ultimately violates moral values. The combination of Javanese and Indonesian terms reflects ethical considerations and community expectations of fairness and integrity in the distribution of social assistance. An analysis of cultural meanings identified three cultural interpretations: the politicization of social assistance, economic dependence in everyday life, and moral judgments embedded in the ethical framework of Javanese culture. Governments must adopt culturally sensitive policies that integrate local moral frameworks into aid distribution strategies, promoting transparency and accountability. By understanding the dynamics of these different languages and cultures, policymakers can design more compelling, ethically grounded social assistance initiatives that align with the values of the community in Surakarta and its surrounding areas.

Abstract

The Pacitan Local Leaders Election (Pilkada Pacitan) 2020 must both run democratically and prioritize the citizens’ health in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides, Pacitan local online media are firstly allowed under regulations (PKPU No 13, 2020) to achieve the success of the elections. From this first-time involvement, the local online media are dealt with various interests trying to attract journalists or online media to stand with one or the other candidate pairs. To meet the purpose, the researchers employed qualitative research methods using framing analysis. In this case, Edelman framing analysis, with categorization choice by highlighting and eliminating other aspects, aims at building an opinion. In conformity with the results, the local online media are not neutral. Further, the news text framing of the online media professionalism in reporting the Pacitan Pilkada was as follows: 1) political culture in Pacitan, 2) ethical competence, 3) legal competence, 4) knowledge competence. Those competencies must be possessed by a journalist. Even more, they were carrying out political activities such as the 2020 Pilkada. The professionalism of journalists was necessarily needed, especially in Indonesia’s democratic party implementation to elect legislative and executive leaders who were truly coming from the people’s soul.

Abstract

This study examines the discursive transformations and contested meanings of belis, a dowry tradition in East Nusa Tenggara, by analyzing how it is debated, redefined, and reinforced in digital spaces. Using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, it interrogates the power relations, regimes of truth, and subject positions articulated in public discourse surrounding belis. Traditionally, belis served as a social contract symbolizing the union of two families through marriage and reinforcing communal bonds through the exchange of valuable items from the groom’s family to the bride’s. However, contemporary interpretations of belis have shifted under social, economic, and cultural transformations.. Drawing on data from YouTube broadcasts and user-generated comments, this research explores how digital platforms mediate public discourse on belis. The analysis reveals that online debates increasingly frame belis through the lens of economic logic and social prestige, often prioritizing material value over its metaphysical and symbolic significance. This discursive shift reflects a broader cultural reconfiguration in which traditional practices are questioned, redefined, or reinforced within digital spaces. Ultimately, the study argues that the transformation of belis illustrates how digital discourse contributes to the rearticulation of cultural meaning, exposing tensions between heritage and modernity, and between symbolic reciprocity and commodification.

Abstract

This research explores the perceptions of the millennial generation of the belis tradition in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) on social media, particularly Twitter. Belis is a traditional dowry practice in East Nusa Tenggara, deeply rooted in cultural significance as a symbol of respect, social recognition, and the familial alliance between the bride and groom’s families. The belis tradition has recently faced scrutiny from the millennials, who question its relevance in the modern era. This research employs qualitative analysis, drawing on primary data from tweets featuring the hashtag #TradisiBelisNTT. These tweets were examined through Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) following the six stages as outlined by Willig (2008): (1) Discursive Construction, (2) Discourse, (3) Action Orientation, (4) Positioning, (5) Practice, (6) Subjectivity. The findings suggest that belis is frequently perceived as an economic burden for men, hindering financial equality in marriage and prompting individuals to seek alternatives arrangements. The discourse as expressed in X reveals intricate power dynamics, as the millennial challenges traditional cultural norms and calls for reform in more inclusive and equitable cultural practices. The findings highlight the tension between preserving heritage and advocating for change, offering insights into how digital spaces facilitate dialogue on cultural reform.

Abstract

The significant number of visitors visiting the Sunan Bonang Tomb in Indonesia is believed to contribute to the commodification of sacred zones for religious tourism at the tomb. This study focused on exploring how sacred zones are transformed into religious tourism destinations at the Sunan Bonang tomb in Tuban, Indonesia. Qualitative research involved gathering field data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Researchers conducted data triangulation to confirm the accuracy of the gathered data. The research results were examined using Foucault's perspectives through archaeological and genealogical approaches. This study identified key factors contributing to the commodification of Sunan Bonang's tomb for religious tourism, including: 1) the established religious tradition within Islamic communities that influence the occurrence of commodification, 2) government support aimed at enhancing the attraction of cultural products for religious tourism, and 3) the role of the foundation as the holder of management authority managing the commodification of Sunan Bonang's tomb for religious tourism. Commodification focuses more on creating sacred zones at the Sunan Bonang’s Tomb.
