Abstract

Balinese Hinduism provides a rich context for exploring the intersection of material culture and religious belief. This study aims to explore the dual roles of daluang (also known as walantaga) in Balinese Hindu rituals, functioning both as a ritual object and a sacred symbol. Utilizing ethnographic methods and textual analysis, the research draws from four Balinese Hindu lontar manuscripts, including Kakawin Ramayana, Wedana Pujastawa, Yajna Prakerti and Pujastawa Wedana. Data collection involved participant observation and interviews conducted with seven Hindu priests. Guided by Geertz’s interpretive framework, findings reveal that daluang serves not only as a material for crafting key ritual items but also as a vital medium for spiritual communication, embodying core cultural values and cosmological concepts within Balinese Hinduism. This study contributes to broader discussions on the role of material culture in sustaining intangible religious heritage and expression in contemporary Balinese society.

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

This study addresses the limited ecological readings of Bugis folklore by examining environmental representation and social ecology in the folktale Bakka Maroe. The article aims to analyze how ecological meanings are constructed through narrative symbols, conflict, and cultural values in the tale. This study employs a qualitative interpretive text analysis supported by semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected informants familiar with Bugis oral tradition. The analysis is organized using Garrard’s ecocritical categories of wilderness, animals, apocalypse, dwelling, pollution, and social ecology. The findings show that Bakka Maroe represents nature as a morally charged and unstable space, animals as ambivalent ecological agents, ecological disruption as a cultural warning, settlement as an ecological-political mode of dwelling, pollution as both material and ethical violation, and social ecology as the entanglement of environmental crisis with hierarchy and power. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated reading of environmental representation, social ecology, and cultural wisdom in a Bugis folktale through Garrard’s ecocritical framework, which has not been specifically applied to Bakka Maroe in previous studies.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of the Malin Kundang folklore in the integration of local culture in the learning of narrative texts in schools. The background to this research is the need to integrate local culture in education, considering that Indonesia is rich in cultural heritage which can be used as a relevant learning source. The Malin Kundang folklore, as part of Minangkabau culture, contains moral values that can be internalized by students, such as respect for parents and awareness of the consequences of actions. The method used in this research is literature study, which examines various sources related to folklore, the values contained therein, and their application in the learning context. Through this analysis, it was found that folklore not only functions as a medium of entertainment, but also as an effective educational tool for improving students' literacy skills, especially in narrative writing. The results of this research show that the integration of local culture through Malin Kundang stories can enrich students' learning experiences, shape their character, and increase their love of culture. Apart from that, this story provides space for discussion about social values that are relevant to everyday life. Thus, the application of folklore in narrative text learning has great potential to strengthen students' cultural identity and support the preservation of Indonesia's cultural heritage.
