Abstract

Since the beginning of civilization, communication has progressed from simple gestures and body language to intricate digital systems. Communication is not merely a means of transmitting information; it is also an essential social process in the production of meaning, cultural identity, and societal evolution. This research seeks to examine the evolution of communication as a driving force in the formation, preservation, and transformation of culture over time. Using a descriptive qualitative method and an in-depth literature review approach, this study integrates perspectives from history, anthropology, sociology, and digital media studies, enriched with archaeological data and analysis of two contemporary regulatory case studies: GDPR in the European Union and misinformation handling in the United States. The findings show that every breakthrough in communication—writing, printing, and digitalization—causes structural changes in society, such as the emergence of imagined communities, the differentiation of intellectual classes, and the formation of a surveillance capitalism culture. In the digital era, this shift accelerates cultural norm changes and fosters the emergence of new symbols in cross-cultural communication, while also posing severe issues such as social fragmentation, access inequality, and a digital ethics crisis. This study underlines the importance of a balanced regulatory strategy, collective ethical awareness, and cross-disciplinary cooperation in managing the effects of communication evolution.

Abstract

The idea of establishing the Pasundan Province in 1926 marked a crucial moment in the history of the colonial administration of the Dutch East Indies, bringing together the policy of decentralization (bestuurshervorming) with the dynamics of local identity politics. This article analyzes the complexities behind the formation of the Pasundan Province as a response to the colonial elite's fear of the political dominance of a specific ethnic group, as well as a manifestation of the sociopolitical aspirations of the Sundanese people. Utilizing critical historical methods—including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography—this study explores colonial archives, periodical publications (de Locomotief, Bataviaasch Nieuwsblad), and contemporary local documents. Theoretically, this article applies Furnivall's concept of colonial decentralization alongside modern political sociology theories of identity politics. The novelty of this article lies in its deconstruction of the singular narrative of decentralization; rather than viewing it merely as a matter of bureaucratic efficiency, this study demonstrates that the 1926 Pasundan Province was designed as an instrument of geopolitical engineering to curb nationalist radicalism while mapping ethno-regional boundaries. The findings indicate that the fear of identity politics dominance—both from the colonial government's perspective regarding Pan-Islamism and communism, and the Sundanese elite's anxiety over Javanese cultural dominance—served as the primary catalyst accelerating the realization of this province.

Abstract

Muro Nggeteq was a premarital adat gama ritual in Pengadangan Village, East Lombok, that combined Islamic repentance, customary examination, and village administration. This article reconstructs its historical transformation between 1960 and 1990 and explains why the ritual remained strong before 1975 but declined thereafter. The study used the historical method through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Sources included interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, village officials, community elders, and a young cultural activist; written repentance formulas and village records; material objects; and field documentation. The findings show that the ritual's agrarian terms formed a moral metaphor: muro meant guarding a relationship, while nggeteq meant admitting prohibited premarital conduct. Its stages - betaubat, taklik, and a mosque examination - represented a triadic normative order of Islamic, customary, and governmental law. Under Seneng, Iradim, and Mamiq Rul (1960-1975), these authorities were institutionally aligned, making the ritual socially obligatory. Under Sukarma (1975-1990), procedure was simplified, governmental enforcement weakened, and expanding fiqh interpretation separated religious requirements from inherited ceremonial forms. By 1991, the integrated ritual had disappeared. The article concludes that cultural continuity depended on institutional cooperation and shared interpretation. Contemporary revitalization should retain premarital education, responsibility, and inter-institutional cooperation while excluding corporal punishment, coercion, and public shaming.
