Abstract

This study focuses on the East Coast of Sulawesi, which includes parts of the mainland and the eastern coast of Sulawesi Island. The area comprises parts of Central Sulawesi   and Southeast Sulawesi, as well as surrounding islands such as Buton, Muna, Menui, Salabangka, and Siompu. The islands are significant in supporting economic activities along the spice route strip of the eastern coast of Sulawesi Island. The study explores the spice trade effect on the region in various aspects such as political, economic, social, cultural, and others. The research uses a historical method that focuses on relevant documents by conducting criticisms, interpretations, and analyses. The study found that spices that grow endemically and distinctly (exotic) in the archipelago (Banda Islands) have a long-lasting impact and cover various aspects. Spices had driven other nations to reach, exploit, and trade them to gain wealth and glory. For this reason, conflicts and wars have colored the history of spices that led to the practice of colonialism and hegemony. Colonial hegemony did not always have negative implications but also had essential effects on the growth of the region around the network of spice production centers as new economic centers on the East Coast of Sulawesi. The encounter between the indigenous people and other nations through the spice trade network had a significant positive impact, which Sartono Kartodirjo called positive integration.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the use of Javanese dangdut koplo music and Kidung Koplo podcast as alternative media for preserving Javanese language among the millennial generation of Javanese diaspora in South Sumatra. Javanese dangdut koplo is very popular among the millennial generation throughout Indonesia. On the other hand, podcast is also considered as a very high popularity trend among the millennial generation. Hence, the use of Javanese dangdut koplo music and podcasts is assumed to be a potential alternative media in preserving Javanese language. To pursue the aim of this article, a qualitative-descriptive approach was used. To collect data, interviews, observations, and literature study then were conducted. The primary sources in this article were language and culture experts; the history of dangdut koplo music development; dangdung koplo singers; as well as the millennials of Javanese diaspora in South Sumatra. The results showed that Kidung Koplo podcasts presenting dangdut songs with translations and meanings were able to increase understanding and insight of the millennials into Javanese language still poorly mastered. In conclusion, digital media that is popular among young people can be used as a means of education and preservation, therefore, podcasts then can increase the interest and ability of millennials to understand new knowledge, in this case Javanese.
