Abstract

Ci is an integral part of daily life for the people of Asmat region, for geographically it is located in the lowlands and in the middle of the very broad swamp area in Papua, Indonesia. Since the rivers separate as well as connect one place from another, having a ci becomes a habitus of Asmat people. Ci means a canoe in the Asmat language. Ci is a very important cultural material to meet the needs of daily life, both personal and communal. One of the very basic Asmat expression is “Ci opak, jis opak” (no canoe, no firewood). This means that a family cannot live without a canoe because the most simple things like firewood for cooking are not available. Therefore, ci is fundamental in the life of Asmat people. Unfortunately, ci tends to be shifted or even replaced by motorised transport, while the Asmat people themselves give less attention to preserve it. As a result, they become powerless and are often described like a man who “cemen opak” (does not have a penis) or who is impotent that he is marginalised in the various fields of life.

Abstract

Spirituality is a virtue of being men and women. It is a significant sign to distinguish human from nonhuman. In this sense, spirituality is a particular drive to motivate people to enter their true self and to explore their inner talents. A person needs spirituality in order to be considered as an authentic person, because spirituality is basically an integral part of his or her existence. Spirituality enables people to explore, develop, and transform their talents to be an excellent contribution for humanity. It is not only associated with humans’ internal desires, but also something that leads them to use, develop, and optimize various other materials and cultures that could be treasured around them. Spirituality is a power to create a better life. Although spirituality is varied and at the same time unique because it is fundamentally and intrinsically local and localized, one must understand that spirituality is always an identity in action. It shapes and transforms human’s life as well as the world.

Abstract

Democracy emergencies often become a phenomenon and issue in Indonesia. Responses to this issue are certainly very diverse. There are biases and prejudices directed at the state of democracy in Indonesia. At the concrete and practical level, democracy itself is a tool to achieve common goals. However, on the other hand, democracy is in an emergency condition because it has been used as a non-transparent tool, and democracy is even used as a means to perpetuate the pursuit of interests. This research aims to provide new discourse and insights into the crisis situation and democratic bias that is occurring, while also trying to find answers regarding the political role of citizens in overcoming the crisis. The method used in the activities is the qualitative discourse method through literature study, observation, and focus group discussion. (FGD). The research results indicate that the issues of demos and krator need to be returned to their essence, both conceptually and in practice, in the political life of the nation and state. Individuals who are called to enter the world of politics and run a democracy need to be accompanied by knowledge and experience (arête). The practice of democracy becomes effective when those involved in political decision-making are able to perform their duties and produce policies that do not lead to the common good. If placed in the context of Indonesia, Pancasila should become a source and inspiration for democracy that prioritises common interests and justice.
