Abstract

Yogyakarta Province one of which is regarding verbal violence. On the one hand, this fact is truly ironic in light of Yogyakarta's extraordinary reputation as a cultural diorama in Indonesia, which is particularly evident in its politeness identity representations. Conversely, Yogyakarta's Javanese propriety culture called as unggah-ungguh serves as a fundamental potential safeguard for its society through the incorporation of local cultural elements. This unique cultural politeness is also comparable to Leech's Six Maxims of Politeness, which include Tact Maxim, Generosity Maxim, Approbation Maxim, Modesty Maxim, Agreement Maxim, and Sympathy Maxim. This research discusses the relationship between these Maxims and Javanese parenting patterns explained in the books published by the Department of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control of Yogyakarta for teachers and parents in Yogyakarta regarding the importance of polite communication and good behavior that is rooted in Javanese tradition. If the action is strengthened in school to university levels, added with optimal support echoed in the family and community, verbal sexual violence can hopefully diminish.

Abstract

This study examines the dual role of women in Kampung Batik Giriloyo as housewives and cultural practitioners who preserve the tradition of hand-drawn batik. Using a qualitative case study approach combined with Standpoint Theory, this study argues that batik making for women is not merely an economic activity, but also a medium for cultural transmission and challenging patriarchal norms. The role of the Sido Mukti batik group emerges as an important mediator in communication and economic aspects, with the process of intergenerational knowledge transfer beginning in childhood, and the specific challenges of competition from printed batik being an important point in this study. Data obtained from interviews and observations show how women transform their domestic identities into cultural leadership in the public sphere, despite being hindered by systematic gender barriers. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide a comprehensive interpretation of women’s contributions to the preservation of hand-drawn batik culture. These findings are intended as a reference for efforts to empower women and preserve traditional culture in Indonesia.
