Abstract

Religious appropriation is a phenomenon that is continually reproduced in every electoral contestation. However, this context has not been discussed comprehensively in previous studies. In addition to responding to the shortcomings of previous studies, this study also focuses on explaining the characteristics, factors, and latent dangers of religious appropriation that occured in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. This study reveals three important findings regarding the religious appropriation in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. First, religious appropriation frequently manifests in the context of doctrine, language, and religious behaviors expressed outside the values and norms of religion. Second, cultural, spiritual, and structural factors have dominantly influenced the occurance of religious appropriation in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. Third, the latent dangers of religious appropriation in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election often leads to intolerance, polarization, and persecution against religious communities even after the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. This study also recommends the importance of further studies that explain the attitudes of both formal and informal authorities in responding to religious appropriation in political contestation by conducting intensive interviews.

Abstract

This article aims to center on the variety of styles of lengger - a traditional art found in Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia. The article offers a new approach towards understanding lengger by indicating the development that underwent in the performance structure. The study was conducted in Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia for the period of over a year, between 2022 and early 2024. Using qualitative approach, this study is aimed to explore the variety of the dance practiced by local actors. By using qualitative approach, data was collected using in-depth and semi-structured interviews and participatory observation. There are 13 participants that participated in this study, consisting of local figures engaged in various lengger activities, such as dancers, teachers, and owners of dance studios. The study indicates that lengger evolved greatly in terms of its dance performance. In order to demonstrate this, I use “dance fragments” – a specific moments of  performance, time and space to indicate the development of the art’s structure, based on personal etnographic study. Nine varieties of lengger were identified – lengger klasik, lengger barangan, lengger resmi, lengger muslimah, lengger garapan, lengger calung barasai, lengger selingan, lengger campursari, and lengger modern. Pointing out the various styles of lengger helps further understand the cultural processes and current trends of the society in Banyumas. Having these changes in its structure where dominant trends overshadow the traditional understanding is a way of keeping the art alive, while lengger’s peaceful cohabitation with other arts speaks about the tolerant nature of people in Banyumas.

Abstract

This article examines the reproduction of cultural authority within the Sambas Malay culture, emphasizing the distinctions in the utilization of songs for performing dhikr or barzanji in broader terms. This issue is approached through a multidisciplinary lens that integrates aspects of cultural studies, ethnomusicology, and symbolic capital. This research is qualitative because it explores the complex relationship between the dhikr practices of the community, resulting in narrative data. The data was collected through interviews and participant observation, which included engaging with the dhikr participants during their rituals and practices. The process of data analysis occurs in three distinct stages. Initially, data reduction is conducted to arrange the data in a more structured manner. The second point presents the reduced data thematically in a table that includes images, text quotes, and snippets of dialogue. Data verification was conducted to reach conclusions. The process of interpretation involved restating and reflecting on the data in light of the prevailing socio-cultural context. The findings suggest that the dichotomy acts as a means for dhikr practitioners to recreate cultural authority, aiming to reshape the Sambas Palace's influence over those who engage with traditional songs. This reproductive process occurs through inversion and reinforcement.

Abstract

This research aims to trace the relevancy of the spiritual element in the rural dance art form lengger Banyumas. The art originated in Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia, as a dance in agricultural ceremonies to worship the Goddess of Fertility, Dewi Sri, but it developed and assimilated new functions, such as entertainment, in terms of performance. Despite that, the spiritual connection of the dance with the Divine remained, and it can be seen in the relationship between the dancer, God, and nature which remained unchanged over time. This is shown through a thick description of the process of becoming a lengger dancer, the existence of holy places, as well as the use of offerings in lengger performances. The research method of this study is a critical historical, based on one and half years of research in Banyumas. The techniques used are participant observation, in-depth and semi-structured interviews, as well as visual data (photos and videos). In terms of interviews, the research involved about 13 informants, all of which related to lengger in some way. Results show that spirituality is still very much relevant in the world of lengger and is an inseparable part of the performance and the life of dancers despite being subject to changes. The presence of the spiritual element in lengger nowadays speaks about how important the connection between the Divine is in Java, Indonesia.
