Abstract

Langgam Jawa, a subgenre of keroncong rooted in Javanese musical and poetic traditions, serves as a crucial expression of postcolonial cultural identity in Indonesia. This article investigates the role of Waldjinah, the genre’s most iconic figure, in shaping the gendered and national aesthetics of Langgam Jawa through her musical style, lyrical themes, and media representation. Employing feminist musicology, postcolonial performance theory, and reception analysis, this study draws on archival recordings, televised performances, and song lyrics to explore how Waldjinah’s vocal ornamentation and public persona mediated Javanese femininity within state-sanctioned cultural frameworks. Analytical attention is given to her use of undul-usuk ornamentation, integration of macapat-inspired lyricism, and curated visual aesthetics across different media platforms. The results demonstrate that Langgam Jawa’s hybrid musical structure combining diatonic instrumentation with traditional Javanese idioms enabled Waldjinah to navigate and subtly challenge dominant gender and cultural norms. Her work was simultaneously supported by state institutions and shaped by them, contributing to the canonization of Langgam Jawa as part of Indonesia’s national musical identity. This research concludes that Waldjinah’s artistic trajectory reflects the complex interplay between individual agency and institutional power in the construction of musical canons. Her legacy exemplifies how music functions as a site of gendered, regional, and national negotiation in postcolonial contexts. The findings suggest a need for further inquiry into the evolving interpretations of Langgam Jawa in the digital age, particularly among younger female performers.

Abstract

Contemporary musical films are increasingly being used as vehicles for ethnic storytelling. This study investigates how industry practices specifically casting, creative participation, cultural consultation, and marketing strategies shape the authenticity and reception of ethnic representation in four case studies: In the Heights, Coco, Encanto, and West Side Story (2021). Using a comparative content analysis approach informed by boundary making theory and representation studies, the research triangulates production documents, promotional materials, and reception data to examine how participatory inclusion influences narrative integrity. Methodologically, the study applies a multimodal coding framework to assess how structural dynamics influence storytelling from development through distribution. It incorporates data from creative personnel profiles, marketing discourse, and community feedback, enabling a comprehensive understanding of industry driven representation. The results reveal that films involving creators and consultants from target communities tend to offer richer, more nuanced portrayals, while those relying on symbolic inclusion or commodified authenticity risk critical backlash and community disengagement. Casting misalignments, marketing inconsistencies, and lack of structural inclusion are identified as recurring challenges. These findings highlight the need for systemic reform in media production to promote authentic and accountable ethnic storytelling. The study contributes to scholarly debates on cultural representation and offers a replicable model for evaluating equity in media narratives.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji konstruksi imajinasi urban Jakarta melalui serangkaian fotografi perkotaan yang merekam momen-momen keseharian. Dengan menggunakan konsep studium dan punctum Roland Barthes, fotografi dipahami sebagai teks kultural yang merepresentasikan struktur kota sekaligus pengalaman afektif penghuninya. Analisis tematik terhadap enam foto yang menampilkan lalu lintas, arsitektur, dan ruang publik menunjukkan bahwa citra visual Jakarta terbentuk dari interaksi antara bentuk spasial dominan dan detail-detail subtil yang kerap luput dari perhatian. Studium menampilkan gambaran umum pembangunan dan keteraturan kota, sementara punctum hadir melalui gestur tubuh, figur kabur, serta ketimpangan skala antara manusia dan infrastruktur, yang membuka lapisan makna emosional. Temuan ini memperlihatkan Jakarta sebagai kota paradoksal—modern namun sarat disonansi—serta menegaskan fotografi sebagai medium reflektif dalam memahami kehidupan urban.
