Abstract

This paper discusses two museums that deliberately adopt the concept of “Peranakan” as part of their identities, namely the Museum Pustaka Peranakan Tionghoa, or the Peranakan Chinese Literature Museum (2012), and the Museum Benteng Heritage (November 11, 2011). Both are located in South Tangerang (ca.10 km from Jakarta). The term “Peranakan” indicates a mélange of identities for the Indonesian and Chinese. A closer examination of the Chinese in Indonesia reveals that during the New Order regime, the Indonesian Peranakan Chinese underwent a “repression” taking the form of various political policies and laws limiting their public roles, even attaching negative stigmas to the Chinese identity. The void space in state museums could be filled by these museums, which would demonstrate the endeavor to develop a fairer concept of nationhood. This paper is not intended to provide any solution to the current problem underlying the establishment of the museums. Rather, it is meant to explain the process that takes place when the identity of an ethnic group is questioned and politicized.

Abstract

This paper examines the construction of a dominant discourse criticized by parody in film. The construction of Javanese cultural discourse has been the dominant discourse since the beginning of the Indonesian state; even the meanings born from the construction of the discourse remain to this day. Javanese cultural discourse refers to all forms of discussion related to cultural aspects in Java, including values, norms, traditions, art, language, and local wisdom of the Javanese people. Nagabonar's film deconstructs Javanese discourse with historical parody in its story. This research is expected to open up another way of thinking from the dominance of Javacentric thinking. Two approaches are used to recite and criticize Nagabonar's film as text: cinematographic theory and deconstruction. First is the mise-en-scene approach and staging in cinematographic theory, while the second is the theory of deconstruction to see what history hides or forbids and recasts a discourse construction of thinking that was previously marginalized or even alienated. This study aims to show the meaning of criticism in Nagabonar films against Javacentric dominant discourse through the deconstruction of film texts. Critics of this film tend to open questions about the concept of Indonesian nationalism

Abstract

This article examines the third edition of the Afro-Asian Film Festival (AAF), held in Jakarta in 1964. A series of film festivals that serve as a container of meetings between newly independent and still colonized nations to articulate the political expressions of the third world. The festival was studied with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Analysis of his research data through textual and contextual reading of available archival material, such as film plays, delegation speeches, communiques, and newspaper coverage, involving theoretical ideas of Peripheral Marxism. There are two findings, firstly, showing the ideological contribution of the left that makes FFAA III more radical than the previous two editions of the FFAA. Secondly, a textual analysis of the two winning films shows the role of FFAA III in giving space to issues and knowledge generated by women. FFAA III articulates anti-colonial third-world political expressions as well as anti-imperialist leftist thinking based on the objective everyday realities of third-world people, which in this paper appear in the percolation of women living in feudal cultures. The findings of this research are useful in enriching knowledge of the history of film in the era of independence and adding to the spirit of nationalism.

Abstract

This paper examines the historical and contemporary dynamics of the Blok M area in Jakarta as a public space undergoing a process of spatial, cultural, and symbolic transformation. Using Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space and then relating it to the discourse of urban memory according to Abidin Kusno, this study traces how Blok M developed from the modernist urban planning of Kebayoran Baru after independence to be the epicenter of youth festivity, then declined until it rose again through a place that utilized the memory of this area in the past. This study highlights how the politics of marginalization, cultural practices, and power discourses through infrastructure shape the meaning of an urban area in Jakarta. By analyzing historical narratives, visual artefacts, and urban planning policies, this article argues that changes in Blok M represent physical transformation and struggle over collective memory, middle-class identity, and power relations in the production of the contemporary urban space of Jakarta.

Abstract

Nilai-nilai budaya dominan dipertahankan salah satunya dengan memproduksi acara televisi yang menyisipkan nilai tersebut ke dalam kontennya, secara eksplisit maupun implisit. Sebagai acara televisi realitas yang mengangkat isu multikulturalisme di Korea, My Neighbor Charles berusaha menampilkan interpretasi multikultural Korea ke dalam elemen-elemen instrinsik acaranya. Elemen-elemen intrinsik tersebut adalah pembawa acara, studio, salam pembuka, dan video pembuka. Ke empat elemen tersebut masing-masing telah 3-4 kali digantikan dengan versi terbaru. Penggantian tersebut membuktikan evolusi persepsi orang Korea terhadap orang asing.  Artikel ini menelaah ke empat elemen tersebut menggunakan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis untuk menjelaskan budaya dominan Korea yang secara implisit dijadikan referensi untuk mengonstruksi wacana multikulturalisme Korea. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dalam periode sembilan tahun penayangan My Neighbor Charles, nampak adanya perubahan persepsi ke arah yang lebih positif tentang orang asing. Persepsi tersebut berada dalam bingkai wacana multikultural Korea yang ingin memperlihatkan Korea yang terbuka terhadap imigran asing. Walau demikian, penggambaran Korea yang multikultural cenderung menciptakan dikotomi ras/etnis yang diskriminatif. Dikotomi diskriminatif ini kemudian menjustifikasi dorongan asimilasi orang asing ke dalam budaya Korea sebagai solusi

Abstract

The research aimed to explain Cembengan celebrations held at the Colomadu sugar factory, Karanganyar which was built in 1861. This celebration was held every time the factory would start milled processing sugar cane into sugar. The word “cembeng” itself came from the Chinese word “Cengbeng”, which was a ritual to commemorate deceased ancestors. Cengbeng was held every April 5th by cleaning graves and placing food and prayer tools such as incense and candles. Meanwhile, the Cembengan tradition itself as a ritual also commemorated the ancestors, but its function had turned into a ritual to start the production process at a sugar factory. This ritual was considered important so that it was carried out continuously for hundreds of years in a Javanese industrial space. This ritual was also attended by Dutch officials when it was still under the control of the Dutch East Indies. The research investigated the intersection between space, capital, and culture, which formed an ‘invented tradition’. The method used was through historicity approach and analyzed the relationship between space and the formation of Cembengan tradition in the Colomadu sugar factory. The results show that the transcultural aspect no longer consults the origin but rather cultural practices that merge cultural boundaries.

Abstract

This study examines how the notion of success among modern Indonesian youth, particularly the millennial generation, is constructed through the hustle culture trend on social media. With social media playing a significant role in shaping the aspirations and lifestyles of young individuals, the study centers on the hustle culture trend due to its strong promotion of values such as hard work, ambition, and productivity as integral to their way of life. Data was collected from various platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, comprising textual, visual, and multimedia content related to hustle culture and the modern urban youth lifestyle in Indonesia. Additionally, interviews were conducted with six millennial respondents. The collected data is analyzed using the Ethnography Content Analysis (ECA) approach while reflecting on various theoretical concepts regarding youth, urban, social media, and hustle culture. The findings demonstrate that the hustle culture trend constructs an idealized image and lifestyle of modern urban youth, portraying them as modern, productive, and inspirational, thereby equating the social media image of success with actual success. This research provides a fresh perspective on understanding success among Indonesian youth in the modern era, specifically by examining the influence of social media practices in their daily l­­ives

Abstract

South Korea implemented multiculturalism in 2006. The implementation of this policy became the backdrop for the emergence of multicultural television programs. Among the existing genres, reality TV shows were chosen by television stations to feature more immigrants on the screens of Korean viewers. Today, television programs have become an important space for representing immigrant identities to local audiences. This study analyzes a reality TV show titled My Neighbor Charles to gain a deeper understanding of the construction of immigrant representation in this program. This study assumes that the construction of immigrant representation is greatly influenced by how host Hong Seok Cheon frames the narrative of immigrant representation. Previous studies have not considered the important role of the host in framing the multiculturalism phenomenon in Korea. This study employs textual analysis and applies Critical Discourse Analysis to examine the data. Findings show that Hong simultaneously reinforces and criticizes the values and norms of the Korean majority. Rather than weakening Korea’s cultural dominance over immigrants, Hong’s ambivalent attitude strengthens its cultural hegemony.
