Abstract

The dominant standard of happiness in Indonesia is still rarely discussed as a crucial issue that oppresses, exploits, and excludes women. In that case, ideal happiness places a burden on women to play and fulfill their role in society. Instead of being critical, most women preserve the image of ideal women which is driven by the intersection of patriarchy, colonialism, feudalism, capitalism, and binary thought. The intersection of oppressive ideologies creates psychological and emotional torture for other women who are considered different or do not fit in with the standards (failed). The restrictions on space and social pressure are increasingly burdening women, creating emotional tension that produces specific lingering feelings (affects). This study discusses the contribution of queer-feminist knowledge in forming women’s knowledge to understand and accept their subtle experiences as those who are considered to be failures and how they create strategies to deal with society's standards of happiness. This research was conducted by combining textual analysis (Instagram’s posts) and empirical research (in-depth interview and testimonials) of urban women who live in Yogyakarta, Bali, Seoul, and Singapore. By using the affect theory approach and queer-feminist thinking, this research aims to distribute queer-feminist knowledge in intervening concepts and standards of happiness in Indonesian society that marginalize and perpetuate oppression toward women.

Abstract

Artikel ini menelusuri narasi agensi dan perjuangan kolektif komunitas transpuan dalam merespons pandemi COVID-19 di Yogyakarta. Pandemi meningkatkan kerentanan ekonomi dan sosial komunitas transpuan, memaksa mereka merespons secara kolektif. Penelitian ini berfokus pada agensi transpuan dalam memberdayakan komunitas, mengakumulasi modal sosial, dan perubahan selama pandemi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap pemimpin dan anggota berbagai komunitas transpuan: Keluarga Besar Waria Yogyakarta (Kebaya), Pondok Pesantren Waria Al-Fatah, dan Ikatan Waria Yogyakarta (IWAYO). Dengan mengadopsi konsep navigasi sosial, kami menganalisis fleksibilitas, negosiasi, dan adaptasi komunitas transpuan untuk mengatasi dan mengendalikan situasi tak terduga akibat pandemi. Setiap gerakan dan tindakan komunitas transpuan membutuhkan kepemimpinan yang terbuka dan fleksibel untuk bertahan dalam krisis COVID-19. Proses navigasi sosial ini juga membuka jalan bagi penerimaan dan inklusi sosial yang lebih baik dari masyarakat.

Abstract

Religious‑heritage tourism in Indonesia has predominantly highlighted temples and mosques, leaving Protestant heritage sites such as the Western Indonesian Protestant Church (GPIB) Marga Mulya underrepresented in both scholarship and tourism promotion. This study aims to assess and compare the tourism potential of GPIB Marga Mulya, the oldest Protestant church in Yogyakarta, with other architecturally significant places of worship in Indonesia, to inform sustainable heritage‑tourism strategies. Using a comparative qualitative descriptive approach, the research applies SWOT analysis, supported by literature review, field observation, and interviews with church stakeholders, to evaluate historical value, architectural features, accessibility, and visitor engagement. Findings show that while GPIB Marga Mulya benefits from a central Malioboro location and rich Dutch colonial heritage, it is constrained by limited promotion, inadequate visitor facilities, and diminished visual prominence. In contrast, sites such as Cut Meutia Mosque in Jakarta and Santo Petrus Cathedral in Bandung leverage active programming, segmented community outreach, and event‑based attractions to strengthen their tourism appeal. This study contributes to expanding the scope of religious‑heritage tourism research to include Protestant sites and offers practical recommendations for positioning strategies, though its conclusions are limited to five case studies within the Indonesian context.
