Abstract

This paper is to figure out R. Ng. Yasadipura I’s poe(li)tical imagination of Islam in Babad Tanah Jawi. The ‘politics’ is defined not merely as instrumental utility, but intertwined with ‘poetics’, an aesthetic strategy which allegorically unveils an interpretation of the undecidability of  Islam as central Islam or peripheral Islam, as Arabia Islam or Javanese Islam. Based on the biographical and structural approaches, this article attempts to analyze textual, ideological, and religious traces of this 18th century Javanese Muslim bhujangga and its relation to the way he describes Islam in Babad Tanah Jawi. Yasadipura I is a political subject, since he describes Islam not merely as a religious consensus, but also dissensus to other identities. This dissensus is partly a logical consequence of—using Jacques Rancière’s term—Yasadipura I’s ‘class migration’, ranging from Muslim student (santri) from Kedu, royal advisor (menteri) of Surakarta court, to prolific writer and translator of Hindu-Buddhist kakawin and Islamic Malay suluk.

Abstract

Since it was first held in 2012 the Gandrung Sewu Festival has become a favorite in the Banyuwangi Festival event. The popularity of Gandrung Sewu appears not only because this show is aesthetically appealing, but also it holds the stories and desires of the people Banyuwangi. In addition to describing the implementation of the Gandrung Sewu performance which is part of the Banyuwangi Festival event, this paper also aims to reveal the history of the heroism of the Blambangan people which became the background for the emergence of Gandrung and later became an art performance called the Gandrung Sewu Festival. This paper is based on field note from observations of the Gandrung Sewu Festival and in-depth interviews with resource persons who have competence and relevance. The result of the study show that the Gandrung Sewu not only an art performance created from Gandrung which has become one of the icons of Banyuwangi’s arts and culture, but also an image of the herois of the Blambangan people in a war against foreign domination in the past, the heroism of the Bayu war unites returned the people of the Blambangan who were scattered in a new spirit which was marked by the birth of Banyuwangi. The heroism of the Blambangan people, which the people of Banyuwangi continues to love, continues to be eroded in to a variety of purely aesthetic artistic creativity in order to serve the growing demand for the tourism markes, especially in the era of Regent Abdullah Azwar Anas’leadership in 2010-2020.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji penerapan prinsip manajemen POACE (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling, Evaluating) dalam penyelenggaraan pameran tunggal The Shade of Northern Lights oleh Semsar Siahaan di Galeri Nasional Indonesia pada tahun 2004. Pameran ini menjadi peristiwa penting dalam perjalanan karier Semsar, karena menandai kepulangannya ke Indonesia setelah bertahun-tahun tinggal di Kanada serta memperlihatkan dinamika hubungan antara seni, pengalaman diaspora, dan konteks sosial-politik pascareformasi. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif-analitis dan studi dokumentasi kearsipan, penelitian ini menelusuri secara sistematis proses perencanaan, pengorganisasian tim, pengelolaan karya dan logistik, strategi publikasi, hingga mekanisme pengendalian dan evaluasi yang dijalankan oleh Semsar dan berbagai pihak yang terlibat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa struktur manajemen yang diterapkan Semsar mencerminkan pemahaman yang kuat terhadap prinsip POACE, terlihat melalui kesiapannya dalam menyusun proposal, menjalin komunikasi lintas negara, mengatur distribusi karya, serta membangun jejaring dengan institusi lokal. Pendekatan ini memperlihatkan kecenderungan internasionalisme yang turut membentuk karakter pameran tersebut. Kendati demikian, penelitian juga menemukan sejumlah keterbatasan, terutama minimnya dokumentasi terkait tahap evaluasi serta keterlambatan dalam pelaporan administrasi keuangan. Meskipun demikian, pameran ini berhasil memperkuat kembali posisi Semsar dalam ekosistem seni rupa Indonesia dan menawarkan model praktik manajemen pameran yang relevan untuk kajian tata kelola seni kontemporer. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap studi manajemen seni di Indonesia yang masih jarang dikaji secara mendalam, sekaligus menegaskan pentingnya penerapan prinsip POACE sebagai kerangka analitis dalam membaca praktik pengelolaan pameran seni. Reflections on Life in Exile: A Review of the Management of Semsar Siahaan's Solo Exhibition ABSTRACTThis study examines the application of the POACE (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling, Evaluating) management principles in organizing the solo exhibition The Shade of Northern Lights by Semsar Siahaan at the National Gallery of Indonesia in 2004. This exhibition was a significant milestone in Semsar's career, as it marked his return to Indonesia after years in Canada and demonstrated the dynamic relationship between art, diasporic experiences, and the post-Reformasi socio-political context. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and archival documentation studies, this study systematically traces the planning process, team organization, work and logistics management, publication strategies, and control and evaluation mechanisms implemented by Semsar and the various parties involved. The results show that Semsar's management structure reflects a strong understanding of the POACE principles, as evidenced by his readiness to prepare proposals, establish cross-border communication, organize the distribution of works, and build networks with local institutions. This approach demonstrates a tendency towards internationalism that also shaped the character of the exhibition. However, the study also found several limitations, particularly the lack of documentation related to the evaluation stage and delays in financial administration reporting. Nevertheless, this exhibition successfully reaffirmed Semsar's position in the Indonesian art ecosystem and offered a model of exhibition management practices relevant to the study of contemporary art governance. This research contributes to the rarely studied in-depth study of arts management in Indonesia, while also emphasizing the importance of applying the POACE principle as an analytical framework for understanding art exhibition management practices.

Abstract

This article is to figure out how Javanese power succession has archetypal structures and relational systems in Babad Tanah Jawi, representing that the past is prophetic prologomena for the future. Using Lévi-Strauss’s structural anthropology of myth as a methodological approach, this study attempts to analyze the relational systems of successive power of Javanese characters (rulers) from pre-Majapahit to early Mataram in Babad Tanah Jawi and to interpret symbols of the prophetic divine during the periods of different Javanese reigns. This study has found that Javanese dynastic succession has been characterized by archetypal structures, in which the Javanese rulers commonly passed through identical phases of life-journeys, ranging from getting divination from fortune-teller (prophecy), getting out of the origins (exodus), to getting political recognition to be the next ruler (legitimacy). This system argues that the mythological prophecy in Babad Tanah Jawi is political because it prevails the logic of the Javanese worldview (weltanschauung) and the precondition of mystical and political legitimacy for Javanese rulers. The narratives of prophetic symbols, in which the different Javanese rulers had been involved in similar forms and structures, also imply the political dimension of prophecy representing the power of their reigns.
