Artikel ini adalah sebuah pembacaan kritis terhadap pendekatan poskolonial, mulai dari pemikir utama dalam teori kritis hingga pemikiran yang lebih baru, yang selama ini membantu kajian sastra dan budaya dalam memahami konsep diaspora. Diaspora merujuk pada mobilitas manusia yang terjadi akibat penjajahan dan globalisasi serta karya sastra yang dihasilkan melalui pergerakan manusia tersebut. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk memahami perkembangan pendekatan poskolonial dalam memahami pengalaman hidup migran dan konsep diaspora. Metode yang diterapkan adalah analisis teks dengan menyajikan kajian literatur ekstensif mengenai studi pascakolonial. Artikel ini mengidentifikasi perspektif intelektual kajian pascakolonial dalam menggunakan istilah diaspora untuk mencermati bagaimana bidang studi ini meredefinisi istilah tersebut untuk mengkaji migrasi di era modern, yang dapat bersifat sukarela maupun tidak sukarela, serta permanen ataupun sementara. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa istilah diaspora terus-menerus mengalami kontestasi dan dijadikan relevan dengan konteks masa kini sehingga memberikan peluang bagi masyarakat Global South, termasuk Indonesia, untuk mencermati agensi mereka dalam pengalaman hidupnya sebagai migran dan warganegara dunia yang berpindah-pindah. This article is a critical reading on postcolonial scholarship, ranging from tenets in the field to more current theories, that has allowed literary and cultural studies scholars to understand the term diaspora. Diaspora refers to the various mobilities caused by colonization and globalization, and the literature produced through people’s movement across borders. This article aims to reflect on the development of postcolonial studies on how this field of study has come to address the migrant’s lived experience and conceptualize the term diaspora. The method applied by this article is literary analysis, as the paper provides an extensive literature review of scholarships in postcolonial studies. By doing so, the article identifies the ways in which postcolonialism has engaged with the term diaspora and is working to reconfigure the term to address modern era migration, that can be both voluntary and involuntary, as well as permanent and temporary. The article ruminates on how diaspora continues to be a contested term and is made relevant to current context, providing ways for communities of the Global South, including Indonesia, to seek agency in their experience as migrants and global mobile citizens.

Local Community Initiative in Tackling Food Desert: Achieving Fair and Sustainable Transformation in South Memphis Safiera Nadya Nadya Utama; Asri Saraswati
Rubikon : Journal of Transnational American Studies Vol 9, No 2 (2022)
Publisher : Universitas Gadjah Mada

The issue of food desert (difficulty in accessing healthy food at affordable prices) is a phenomenon that has long plagued a number of regions in the United States. Uniquely, this issue has a close relationship with racism because the majority of the population living in food desert areas are its black population, such as the area of South Memphis, which in 2019, was nicknamed “The Hunger Capital of America”. This article aims to understand the design and implementation of solutions to the food desert issue in South Memphis using the lens of local food network and just sustainability concept. This study also aims to analyze how racial and class awareness are integrated into solutions formulated by local communities, considering that the majority of the population living in the food desert area are black and in the lower middle-class group. Related to the sustainable aspect of the just sustainability concept, this study will also evaluate how initiatives such as farmer’s markets and community kitchens in the form of non-commercial practices, can be an effective and sustainable solution to the food desert issue in the long term.

Analisis Pengaruh Keterlibatan Selebritas di Industri Kosmetik Amerika dalam Studi Kasus Rihanna dan Fenty Beauty Rahajeng, Laretna Pranadian; Saraswati, Asri

Publisher : CV. Ridwan Publisher

Selebritas memiliki kaitan erat dengan dunia kosmetik dan kecantikan. Mereka identik sebagai pengguna kosmetik, baik dalam profesinya maupun penampilannya di hadapan publik. Selebritas juga kerap ditampilkan untuk merepresentasikan sebuah produk kosmetik melalui kerja sama dengan merek yang telah ada. Dewasa ini, muncul fenomena baru di mana selebritas mulai beralih peran dan muncul mengusung merek kosmetik pribadinya. Hal ini memungkinkan seorang selebritas untuk lebih terlibat langsung dalam mempengaruhi industri kosmetik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah fenomena ini dengan mengangkat studi kasus Fenty Beauty dan Rihanna. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk menganalisis pengaruh dari adanya keterlibatan Rihanna dalam Fenty Beauty. Penelitian ini menganalisis data berupa konten sosial media, kampanye, dan artikel berita untuk melihat bagaimana identitas dan reputasi Rihanna sebagai seorang selebritas mempengaruhi karakteristik dan penerimaan terhadap Fenty Beauty sebagai sebuah merek kosmetik. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa keterlibatan Rihanna berpengaruh positif terhadap minat publik terhadap kemunculan Fenty Beauty di industri kosmetik. Keterlibatan Rihanna turut berkontribusi membentuk Fenty Beauty sebagai merek yang inklusif sehingga ia dapat diterima dengan positif oleh pengguna kosmetik dari kalangan perempuan kulit hitam. Namun, penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa keterlibatan Rihanna membuat Fenty Beauty rentan terhadap dampak negatif akibat kontroversi yang muncul dari perilaku Rihanna sebagai seorang selebritas.

The media play a pivotal role in the democratization process in Indonesia and this is among others apparent in the surge of films, both fiction and documentaries that have been produced after the end Suharto's decades of control over the media. It is important to note, however, that compared with fiction films, the documentary genre remains rather unpopular in Indonesia. Indonesian documentary films struggle to depict stories of the subaltern and those living in the "periphery" in order for them to be seen and heard by the greater masses and by those in power - the ones in the "centre" or Jakarta. This paper discusses the connection between urban and rural voices and its impact in the documentary films Nona nyonya? (Miss mrs?, 2008) and Untuk apa? (What's the point?, 2008) produced by Kalyana Shira Films, an organization well-known for its work on gender issues using film as medium. Departing from the notion that the film industry itself is still largely Jakarta-centred, this article focuses on the way urban settings and voices are used to create rhetoric, and the impact of the domination of these urban voices over the rural ones.

The urban space offers more challenges to the female self. Two motion pictures, Lost in translation (2003) and The good girl (2002), depict the issue of gender and space by conveying the city as prison for the female characters. This article analyses the urban space and argues that in the two movies, the female characters struggle and eventually create meaning in the urban room. Applying feminism and urban geography in analysing the position of female characters within the city, the paper finds that the two films offer their perception on, and solutions to, the imprisonment of women by the urban environment which is stereotypically masculine.

Syntax Literate Jurnal Ilmiah Indonesia
Publisher : Syntax Corporation

Taylor Swift merupakan musisi perempuan asal Amerika yang dikenal sebagai ikon feminisme setelah berganti genre musik dari country ke pop pada album 1989. Lirik lagu Taylor Swift yang dahulu berfokus pada hubungan percintaan, kini lebih menyoroti permasalahan perempuan, seperti standar ganda, seksisme, dan misogini. Di samping itu, Swift juga mendukung Equality Act dan menjadi simpatisan untuk kaum LGBTQIA+. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji dan memberikan pemahaman mengenai representasi ide-ide feminisme dalam lirik lagu dan pidato Taylor Swift, serta mencermati pengaruh ide-ide tersebut dalam wacana white feminism di Amerika. Penelitan ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, dengan teknik analisis tekstual menggunakan lensa Representasi dan White Feminism. Hasil pengamatan lirik lagu dan pidato Taylor Swift menunjukkan bahwa terdapat ide-ide feminisme, seperti pemberdayaan diri dan perjuangan kesetaraan, terutama dalam dukungannya terhadap kaum LGBTQIA+. Namun demikian, ide-ide feminisme yang diperlihatkan Taylor Swift melalui karya-karyanya masih bersifat heteronormatif dan berciri feminisme kulit putih.

This article presents an explorative study on the continuity of Gaok traditions amidst social change in Majalengka, West Java, Indonesia. As a cultural heritage, Gaok faced a negative stigma as a bid’ah (heresy). This article investigates how the Gaok serves as a religious expression as well as a form of adaptation for survival. It also explores how Gaok represents the unique religious identity of the Majalengka people with the fusion of Sundanese and Javanese cultures. A folklore approach was employed in this study, involving the texts of manuscripts performed in Gaok, observation of Gaok performances, and interviews with Gaok performers. The study found that Gaok represents the oral religious expressions of the Majalengka people, which contain collective memories about their cultural values, identity, and history. Furthermore, Gaok is an adaptive tradition to the contemporary developments over time, primarily cultural and religious influences in Majalengka. As an oral tradition, Gaok has transformed from participatory and communal art to individual performances.

As a black Nigerian woman who married an immigrant, Chinaza from The Arrangers of Marriage (2009) short story had to go to the United States of America and live with her husband. Being in an unfamiliar environment made her feel isolated, especially with her marriage being an arrangement in which she had no say. This research aims to reveal Chinaza’s lack of agency in gaining her voice and how it affects her alienation in a new environment. By using a qualitative descriptive method, this research applies a postcolonial approach with the help of Gayatri Spivak’s subaltern and Homi Bhabha’s unhomeliness concept. The results show that Chinaza is a subaltern who is silenced and marginalized in both her patriarchal family and her new environment in the United States. In addition, her new life in a foreign country made her feel confined between two cultures, which couldn’t seem to accept her nor was she able to accept completely. The feeling of “unhomely” that Chinaza experienced was not solely caused by living in a foreign country, but also because of her husband urging her to abandon her culture.
