Abstract

Primbon as Javanese local knowledge has been a guide for Javanese everyday and ritual life, included buildings, for decades. This paper intends to investigate the use of primbon in the Kraton Yogyakarta (Palace of Yogyakarta) as the representation of the sultan (king). The investigation was conducted through interpretive criticism to reveal the degree of conformity under the rules and principles in primbon as an attempt to form a new perspective in understanding the primbon.The analysis focuses on verses 172 and 194–196 of Primbon Betaljemur Adammakna, which deals with the arrangement of buildings. By transliterating the verses into English and interpreting the application of the verses in Kraton Yogyakarta, the study demonstrated the manifestation of theprimbon verses in the kraton’s building arrangement. The study of primbon reveals the role ofkraton as the representation of the earth in the universe, while the representation here displays the hierarchical arrangement of building facilities, from sacred to nonsacred or from private to public.

Abstract

Semiotics as a science that studies signs have a wide range of knowledge and one of them is in the field of Architecture which is a result of the cultural process of society because architectural works are the embodiment of the life of that society. Semiotics as the science of signs is capable of being a tool in tracing cultural relations in architectural objects or works. Pura Mandharagiri Semeru Agung as an architectural work that carries Balinese Hindu culture is an architectural work located at the foot of Mount Semeru, to be precise in an area called Senduro in Lumajang district. An architectural object in the form of a gate with the name Wringinlawang stands proudly at the entrance to the area. Wringinlawang in shape and color has a style that is different from the style in the temple area. Therefore, there is a need for a study related to the existence of the wringinlawang object in the middle of the temple area which carries Balinese Hindu culture. To trace the process of wringinlawang's existence and its meaning to the surrounding community, semiotics will be the main tool in tracing the sign, which in this case is the Gapura Wringinlawang. The purpose of this research is to explore the factors influencing the meaning of the Gapura Wringinlawang and to explore the relationship between the signs that are formed. The method used in this research is qualitative research using interview data alongside a literature review. The results of Charles S. Pierce's semiotic study show that the Gapura Wringinlawang contains a symbol of cultural identity for the Senduro community around the temple building. The culture in question is Javanese culture which is manifested through the building style used in the Gapura Wringinlawang building because of the context of the location.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji representasi keberlanjutan dalam wacana kafe modern urban Indonesia menggunakan Analisis Wacana Kritis (CDA) model Norman Fairclough. Korpus terdiri atas 42 teks, yaitu artikel media populer, profil desain arsitektur, ulasan pengguna digital, dan konten promosi resmi dari kafe ramah lingkungan di Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Bali, dan Medan, yang terbit antara 2020–2025. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendekonstruksi dialektika antara estetika dan fungsi ekologis dalam representasi keberlanjutan. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa narasi keberlanjutan secara dominan dikonstruksi melalui leksikal estetika dan visual ('estetik', 'asri', 'hijau', 'kece'), sementara fungsi ekologis material (efisiensi energi, pengelolaan limbah terukur, jejak karbon) tersisihkan dan disampaikan secara kabur tanpa data kuantitatif. Pada tingkat praktik diskursif, rantai intertekstualitas sirkular antara konten promosi, artikel media, dan ulasan pengguna menciptakan ruang gema tanpa verifikasi, mengubah media arus utama dari watchdog menjadi megaphone pemasaran. Pada tingkat praktik sosial, wacana ini memproduksi green simulacrum (Baudrillard), di mana tanda visual hijau menggantikan realitas ekologis material, sekaligus mendepolitisasi krisis lingkungan melalui individualisasi tanggung jawab dan mereproduksi segregasi spasial berbasis kelas. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa wacana kafe ramah lingkungan di Indonesia adalah teater keberlanjutan, bukan wacana ekologi. Manfaat penelitian ini secara teoretis memperkaya kajian komunikasi lingkungan dan CDA, sedangkan secara praktis menjadi refleksi bagi pengelola kafe, desainer, jurnalis, dan pembuat kebijakan agar lebih kritis dalam memproduksi narasi keberlanjutan.
