Abstract

The Mendhak Sanggring tradition is a cultural practice still maintained by the people of Tlemang Village, Lamongan. This tradition is seen as having spiritual, symbolic, and social values that are crucial for the continuity of community life. This study aims to uncover the meaning of the Mendhak Sanggring tradition through the perspective of Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interaction, specifically by examining how this meaning is formed, maintained, and reinterpreted by the community. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive analysis model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the meaning of the Mendhak Sanggring tradition is formed through a process of social interaction that has been passed down through generations. This meaning is manifested in four main aspects: respect for ancestors, cultural identity and collective pride, safety and protection from disaster, and social harmony. Based on Blumer's Symbolic Interaction perspective, this meaning emerges through three premises: community actions are driven by the symbolic meaning inherent in tradition; these meanings emerge from social interactions between residents and traditional leaders; and they undergo continuous negotiation and reinterpretation as generations change. This research confirms that Mendhak Sanggring functions not only as a spiritual ritual but also as a mechanism for cultural reproduction and strengthening collective identity within the community.

Abstract

The advancement of technology and the advent of digitalization have changed perspectives. Previously, women were labeled as solely responsible for the family's needs at home. However, now both men and women have equal roles in earning a living. Women's dual roles have emerged as a smart strategy for improving family financial well-being. Furthermore, they are a way to realize family dreams that would otherwise be impossible if they relied solely on men or husbands. Increasing needs and uncontrolled prices have pushed a number of women in Kradenan Hamlet into jobs outside the home as housewives. This study employed a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to gain detailed insight into the experiences of the research subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of women who perform dual roles in Kradenan Hamlet. This study utilized data analysis by Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study examine the various meanings they share in strengthening the family economy, using Alfred Schutz's theory.

Abstract

The phenomenon of sound horeg as a form of modern entertainment has grown rapidly in Sidoarjo Regency and is commonly used in community events such as celebrations and carnivals. However, its operation often faces public rejection due to noise disturbance, environmental discomfort, and social conflict. On the other hand, for audio sound system owners, sound horeg serves as a source of income, a medium for creative expression, and a form of social identity. This study aims to examine the perspectives of audio sound system owners toward community rejection of sound horeg operations and to analyze the adaptive strategies they employ in response to such rejection. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method and is analyzed through George Herbert Mead’s symbolic interactionism theory. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving audio sound system owners operating in Sidoarjo Regency. The findings show that audio sound system owners perceive sound horeg not merely as entertainment, but also as a symbol of business existence and economic opportunity. Community rejection is understood as the result of differing perspectives and interests between business actors and local residents. To address this rejection, sound system owners implement adaptive strategies such as adjusting sound volume, limiting operational hours, and engaging in communication and negotiation with the surrounding community. This study highlights that conflicts related to sound horeg are social issues involving interaction, communication, and the negotiation of meanings within public spaces.

Abstract

Pariwisata tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai penggerak ekonomi, tetapi juga memiliki peran penting dalam menjaga dan melestarikan budaya lokal. Penelitian ini berfokus pada peran wisata Jopuro di Dusun Rejopuro, Desa Kampung Anyar, Kecamatan Glagah, Banyuwangi, dalam pelestarian tradisi dan seni masyarakat setempat. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi selama penelitian lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kehadiran wisata Jopuro mendorong Masyarakat untuk lebih aktif menampilkan budaya lokal, seperti musik Gedogan, sebagai bagian dari atraksi wisata. Tradisi yang semula hanya dipentaskan pada acara tertentu kini mendapat ruang baru untuk diperkenalkan kepada wisatawan. Selain itu, partisipasi warga dalam kegiatan gotong royong dan penyediaan atraksi budaya memperkuat identitas komunitas serta meningkatkan kebanggaan terhadap warisan budaya. Meskipun demikian, tantangan tetap ada, terutama terkait risiko komersialisasi budaya dan keterbatasan dukungan fasilitas. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan wisata Jopuro perlu diarahkan pada strategi yang tidak hanya mengutamakan aspek ekonomi, tetapi juga memastikan keberlanjutan pelestarian budaya lokal

Abstract

This study examines the representation of gender inequality in the Indonesian film Andai Ibu Tidak Menikah dengan Ayah and the circulation of its meanings through audience discourse on TikTok. Using a qualitative approach grounded in Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, the study analyzes the relationship between the filmic text, selected audience comments, and the broader social structures in which these discourses operate. The data consist of eight key scenes from the film and relevant TikTok responses that address domestic labor, emotional responsibility, and parental roles. The findings show that the film positions the mother as the narrative center who bears overlapping domestic, economic, and emotional burdens, while the father is represented through absent or destructive forms of masculinity. These representations contribute to the naturalization of women’s double burden within patriarchal family structures. At the same time, digital audience discourse reveals forms of discursive negotiation and critique, particularly from women who relate personal experiences to the film and question the moralization of maternal endurance. This study demonstrates that film and digital media function simultaneously as sites for the reproduction and contestation of patriarchal ideology. It contributes to gender and media studies by situating gender performativity within Indonesian popular culture and participatory digital contexts.
