Abstract

This study was motivated by the decline of traditional games in urban areas, which has hindered the process of cultural value inheritance. The study focused on the narratives found in the children's game "Oray-orayan" played by children in three areas in the Cimahi Tengah sub-district, Cimahi City. Data was collected through observation, documentation, and transcription of the game songs. The study employed a qualitative method with Claude Lévi-Strauss's structural approach. The analysis revealed that the game songs contain a narrative structure that incorporates ethical values, social norms, and cultural symbols of an agrarian society. Binary oppositions such as sawah (rice field) versus leuwi (deep river) and entong (don't) versus mending (rather than) reflect symbolic conflicts that construct cultural meaning within the game song. These findings affirm that traditional games like Oray-orayan serve an important function as a medium for transmitting local wisdom while also functioning as an educational tool in shaping children's character.

Abstract

This study explores the art of beluk in the Cikondang Traditional Village as a crucial instrument for transmitting values, adapting to situations without losing its cultural legitimacy. While studies of traditional arts tend to focus on external aesthetic aspects, this article offers a novel approach through an in-depth analysis of the dialectic between performance structure, participants and role allocation, narrative context, and other components of performance in indigenous communities. Beluk itself is a vocal tradition based on the recitation of wawacan texts characterized by the use of very high vocal registers and complex melismatic techniques. Using qualitative methods and an interpretive thematic approach, this study involved participants from among indigenous community leaders and members. The research findings indicate that beluk narration in ritual contexts is strictly regulated by sacred momentum and customary authority, while in non-ritual contexts it exhibits more pragmatic flexibility. These differences in patterns demonstrate that variations in beluk practices are not solely determined by aspects of narration and musicality, but are closely related to social goals and the maintenance of collective identity. This article makes a theoretical contribution to the study of oral traditions regarding how a folk art maintains its relevance through performance flexibility under a consistent customary framework.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the fading of oral traditions amid modernization, particularly the mantras of the Pandeglang community, which have been viewed solely as ritual texts without literary value. The main problem this research addresses is how the representation of cultural values, power relations, and ideology is manifested in mantras, and how these texts can serve as a medium for critical literacy in secondary education. The purpose of this research is to uncover the linguistic structures, discursive practices, and social contexts that shape the discourse of mantras, while also proposing their use in strengthening cultural literacy in schools. The research uses a critical constructivist paradigm with an interpretive, qualitative approach, drawing on Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis model and discourse ethnography. Data in the form of 11 Sundanese-Banten mantra texts were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and field documentation. The analysis shows that mantras function not only as spiritual means but also as ideological discourses that reproduce the moral, spiritual, and social values of the Pandeglang community. Socially, mantras become a cultural literacy practice that strengthens local identity and power relations. At the same time, pedagogically, they have the potential to become a source of critical literacy learning in high schools. The research conclusion confirms that mantras are performative texts that contain educational, spiritual, and ideological power—a form of local literacy that remains relevant for fostering reflective awareness and cultural identity among the younger generation.

Abstract

The study aims to elucidate the interdisciplinary perspective of folklore studies and arts-based research (ABR), focusing on the novelization of traditional stories to strengthen character education. An interdisciplinary perspective on language, literature, art, and education studies is employed to investigate how traditional folklore can be re-created through creative literary endeavors. Using an ABR qualitative research design, preceded by realist ethnographic research and in-depth character content analysis, this study explores the complexities of transforming oral traditions into written narratives, emphasizing the role of artistic interpretation in preserving cultural heritage and values. The steps of ABR are carried out through comparative data, literature review, and analysis of art practices of the selected traditional stories for their new adaptation. The results show that the folklore (legend) of Raden Alit has three variants. The variants teach about the values of religiousness, nationalism, independence, cooperation, and integrity. The variants of the Raden Alit folklore (legend) can be combined and transformed into a novel (didactic literature) through the six stages of the creative process of fiction-based research (FBR) design, which is part of arts-based research. The implications of this research are essential for socio-cultural in the contemporary context because it is relevant to the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. By integrating insights from folklore studies, literary analysis, and artistic practice, this study contributes to an emerging interdisciplinary research field. It offers valuable insights into the transformative potential of arts-based approaches to preserving and disseminating traditional folklore.
