Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of miasma and the spiritual implications of earthquakes as depicted in the Naskah Cerita Gempa (The Story of Earthquake) manuscript found in Ambon, “The Story of Earthquake” is a manuscript from the collection of Husain Hatuwe. It is cataloged in both the Ambon Manuscript Catalog and the Religious Catalog of the Makassar Research and Development Center, under the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The manuscript has been digitized through a collaborative effort between the Pernaskahan Nusantara Foundation and the Faculty of Cultural Sciences at the University of Indonesia, in partnership with the Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) of the British Library. The digitized version of “The Story of Earthquake” manuscript can be accessed online via the EAP British Library’s website using the code EAP276/7/10. This study employs a textual analysis adopting Han-Liang Chang’s disaster semiotics methodology which categorizes disasters into three phases: natural events, interpretations and effects. The findings of this study reveal that natural events, in the form of weather changes associated with miasma, have a significant impact on all forms of life, including animals, plants and humans. These changes lead to damage and death, prompting individuals to seek protection. This research underscores the profound spiritual and physical effects of natural disasters as interpreted through the lens of the Naskah Cerita Gempa manuscript.

Abstract

The cultural heritage of Indonesia is a key component of the nation’s identity. Therefore, the nation's identity is characterized by its cultural heritage. This paper analyzes the results of research on the theme of cultural heritage conducted by the Literary Language Archaeology Research Organization, BRIN, covering the fields of archaeology, literary language, manuscripts, oral tradition, and religious and civilizational treasures. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and analytical reviews of 34 research reports. The research analysis shows that cultural heritage, in the form of tradition, art, language, religion, and other cultural values, plays an essential role in fostering a sense of pride, unity, and national identity. Thus, identity is constructed through a historical process involving various parties acting as members of the culture. The analysis also explains the current research model and provides conceptual frameworks for policy research, development and, basic research development, as well as for the development of measurable issues, which can inform the implementation of future research with a focus on cultural heritage and identity construction. The studies also emphasize the importance of preserving cultural heritage as a form of national identity, and as a principle of ecological ethics and social cohesion amidst global change dynamics.
