Abstract

This paper discusses some performing arts and rituals that carry the environmental theme in Jember. Artists and village governments respond creatively to environmental problems by creating several multi-form events, combining performances and certain rituals. We will use postcolonial ecocriticism as a theoretical framework to discuss some of their produced show events. Postcolonial ecocriticism emphasizes analysis to reveal how cultural texts present current ecological problems as a legacy of colonialism in aesthetic works that can function as advocacy and activism. The results of this study show that the performances and rituals develop critical awareness regarding environmental threats and problems in Jember and Indonesia. They bring the topic of the environment to invite the community to jointly maintain the sustainability of the human environment and criticize government policies to legitimize the destruction of nature in the name of development.

Abstract

This article examines two performance models of Reyog Ponorogo: the festival model and the obyokan model. These two competing models represent differing perspectives on one side, the interests of the artists and the community, and on the other, the interests of the state. By applying cultural studies theories, particularly those of representation and hegemony, this study analyzes data collected through observations of Reyog performances at both festival and obyokan events, as well as interviews with artists and community members. The findings reveal that the obyokan model emphasizes an egalitarian spirit, allowing artists greater aesthetic freedom and providing the community with a sense of belonging in Reyog culture. In contrast, the festival model has historically been associated with the state's efforts to impose order on Reyogartists and choreographies, while simultaneously promoting tourism in Ponorogo.

Abstract

Film is a mass media capable of constructing stereotypes of a culture while shaping reality according to the producer’s intent. This study aims to describe the representation of Madurese ethnic identity in the film Laundry Show (LS) by Rizki Balki. This research is qualitative descriptive, with data consisting of dialogues, character appearances, and other codes portrayed through the character Joni. The data source is the film LS produced by PT Tripar Multivision Plus. Data collection was carried out using documentation techniques, while data analysis employed John Fiske's semiotics method, consisting of three levels of representation. The results indicate that the film LS creates a new, more positive perspective on the Madurese ethnicity. At the identity level, Joni is depicted with a distinctive language style, modern naming, contextual clothing, attractive appearance, and traits such as being humorous, multi-talented, intelligent, friendly, empathetic, religious, and having a strong work ethic. At the representation level, the use of camera techniques, lighting, and music supports this portrayal. Meanwhile, at the ideological level, Joni's identity reflects values of hard work, humanism, and religiosity as representations of the Madurese ethnicity. This study confirms that films can be an effective medium for shaping new perspectives on certain cultures.

Abstract

In the early 21st century, technology paranoia, a negative aspect of technological growth, was prevalent, particularly in the United Kingdom. This social problem coincided with an increase in popular culture toward the consumption of fantasy fiction, with the dark fantasy subgenre being revived by Neil Gaiman's Coraline. This study explores Coraline through the lens of John G. Cawelti’s formula theory to reveal the strategies resulting in its significant societal appeal. This study analyzes the novella's intrinsic elements—plot, characters and characterizations, setting, and illustrations—to identify Coraline as a dark fantasy that effectively combines horror and fantasy formulas. The use of dark fantasy aligns with Cawelti's four hypotheses, functioning as a cultural reflection, cultural solution, cultural boundaries, and cultural innovation that addresses technology paranoia.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan menjelaskan dan mengkritisi konstruksi lokalitas Jawa pascakolonial dalam lagu campursari dari masa Orde Baru hingga Reformasi. Menggunakan pembacaan tekstual-kontekstual dengan perspektif poskololonial, kami akan menganalisis beberapa lagu campursari karya Nartosabdo, Manthous, dan Didi Kempot untuk mengungkap poskolonialitas Jawa dalam moda transformatif. Analisis tekstual akan menghasilkan wacana-wacana partikular lokalitas yang berhubungan dengan beberapa isu seperti nilai dan praktik kultural baru serta hubungan lelaki-perempuan di tengah-tengah modernitas dari masing-masing era. Kami, kemudian, akan memberikan penekanan yang lebih kritis terhadap wacana-wacana tersebut dengan menghubungkan mereka dengan kondisi kontekstual yang di dalamnya nilai dan praktik modern mulai mempengaruhi orang-orang Jawa. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa lagu-lagu campursari merepresentasikan transformasi lokalitas yang di dalamnya pencipta lagu membawa pandangan mereka terhadap perubahan kehidupan kultural dengan cara menegosiasikan budaya Jawa dengan paradigma yang lentur. Hal itu berarti pencipta lagu secara sadar merepresentasikan budaya lokal yang sudah berdialog dengan budaya modern serta sebagai usaha untuk menegosiasikan dan mentransformasi lokalitas ke-Jawa-an sekaligus sebagai strategi untuk mempopulerkan dan memasarkan campursari.

Abstract

The portrayal of body shaming against women in films is a social critique of the act of body shaming. Hence, the study of body shaming in films is intriguing for future investigation. The objective of this research is to uncover the portrayal of body shaming towards women in films. The research data comprised of words and phrases that encompassed body shaming and were examined utilizing Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach. The data was acquired from the movie Imperfect: Karir, Cinta & Timbangan. This study is also classified as critical-qualitative research. The research findings indicate that the film “Imperfect: Karir, Cinta & Timbangan” portrays three types of body shaming, which include comparing, commenting, and insulating individuals based on their physical appearance. Furthermore, the film's production background is influenced by the film development genre in Indonesia, and the producer's background as a comedian aligns with the genre of the film. In addition, this also highlights that the film production is also considered to have some motives to depict body shaming in the film, including the commercial motive, social culture, and ideology to struggle.

Abstract

Artikel ini, dengan orientasi konseptual-teoretis dan metodologis, akan membahas cairnya kuasa budaya dan negara dalam struktur naratif sastra, dengan menggunakan pendekatan poskolonial. Narasi sastra bisa diposisikan sebagai produk representasi yang menghadirkan subjektivitas cair, berupa tokoh naratif dan wacana partikular, terkait permasalahan sosial-budaya, khususnya hibriditas kultural. Kehadiran modernitas dan berlangsungnya praktik budaya tradisional dalam masyarakat pascakolonial menyebabkan timbul permasalahan tersebut. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa subjektivitas cair, di satu sisi, bisa memunculkan wacana emansipasi untuk memberdayakan masyarakat lokal dan, di sisi lain, bisa memunculkan resistensi terhadap kuasa berbasis budaya tersebut. Oposisi biner antara Barat dan Timur menjadi sangat cair, karena subjek poskolonial bisa menggunakan pemikiran modern untuk mendekonstruksi keutuhan modernitas maupun keutuhan budaya tradisional. Namun, ketika negara menerapkan neoliberalisme, subjektivitas cair dan hibriditas kultural perlu ditafsir-ulang. Kuasa budaya tradisi dan negara akan mendapatkan pemaknaan-baru dan resistensi; karena prinsip kebebasan individual dalam hukum pasar menuntut kehadiran minimum kedua entitas tersebut. Kondisi itu memunculkan peluang untuk mengkritisi dan memodifikasi kajian poskolonial.Kata kunci: struktur naratif, subjektivitas cair, resistensi, kajian poskolonial, neoliberalisme

Abstract

Abstrak. Tulisan ini mendiskusikan hibriditas dalam novel Almost A Woman karya Esmeralda Santiago. Novel ini menceritakan permasalahan kultural yang dialami Negi, tokoh utama, sebagai imigran Puerto Rico di New York, di mana ia harus mengapropriasi budaya Amerika agar bisa diterima oleh masyarakat induk. Untuk membahas permasalahan tersebut, kami akan menggunakan teori poskolonial Bhabha. Analisis tekstual digunakan untuk menjelaskan data terpilih dengan cara pandang poskolonial tanpa mengabaikan keterkaitan kontekstualnya dengan dinamika imigrasi dan diaspora. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa tokoh utama harus menjalankan strategi kultural berupa mimikri dan hibriditas agar bisa diterima di masyarakat induk dan bisa mendukung impian modernnya. Meskipun menikmati budaya Amerika secara apropriatif, ia masih berusaha untuk tidak melupakan budaya Puerto Rico. Dengan strategi ini subjek diasporik bisa menegosiasikan kepentingannya di tengah-tengah masyarakat induk dan kuasa budaya dominan, tanpa harus meninggalkan sepenuhnya budaya Puerto Rico.   Abstract. This paper discusses hybridity in Esmeralda Santiago’s Almost A Woman. This novel tells about cultural problems experienced by Negi, the main character, as a Puerto Rican immigrant in New York, where she must appropriate American cultures in order to be accepted by the host community. To discuss this problem, we will apply Bhabha's postcolonial theory. Textual analysis is used to explain selected data from a postcolonial perspective without ignoring its contextual relationship with the dynamics of immigration and diaspora. The results of this study show that the main character must carry out a cultural strategy in the form of mimicry and hybridity in order to be accepted in the parent community and be able to support his modern dreams. Despite enjoying appropriately American culture, she still tries not to forget Puerto Rican cultures. With this strategy the diasporic subject can negotiate its interests in the midst of the host society and the dominant cultural power, without having to completely abandon Puerto Rican culture.
