Abstract

This research examines the significant transformation of the clan governance system in South Sumatra under two distinct power regimes: the Dutch colonial period and the Republic of Indonesia (1825–1983). Despite the clan being a well-established customary institution in local governance, limited research has systematically analyzed the dynamics of its administrative transformation across the two periods, particularly regarding contemporary state pressures and institutional reconfiguration. This research aims to address this gap by examining the processes of co-optation, adaptation, and de-institutionalization of the clan system by the state, employing a historical approach within the theoretical frameworks of historical institutionalism and institutional isomorphism. The employed methods consist of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that during the colonial era, the clan system was not eradicated but rather institutionalized within the colonial governance framework via an indirect administration approach. During the era of the Republic of Indonesia, this system was integrated into the administrative village framework through a centralization policy; however, the values and social practices of the clan persisted at the local level. This study concludes that institutional change is intricate and results in a hybrid configuration that exemplifies the coexistence of formal state systems and local customary systems.

Abstract

This research examines the changing role of Jayabaya’s Prophecy in Javanese political culture, tracing its development from the kingdom era to the present. Initially, the prophecy served as a tool for legitimising elite authority. Over time, however, it evolved into a symbol of resistance, especially in the aftermath of the 1998 Reform movement. The study applies historical methods heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography drawing on various sources such as prophetic manuscripts, cultural artefacts, digital media, and popular narratives. Narrative, semiotic, and discourse analysis are used to explore the symbolic meanings of concepts like zaman edan (“age of madness”) and Ratu Adil (“Just Ruler”). The findings reveal that interpretations of the prophecy are fluid and context-dependent. Under the New Order regime, it was employed as an ideological instrument to strengthen state power. In contrast, during the Reform era, the prophecy was reappropriated by society as a cultural counter-narrative against state authority. In contemporary discourse, it is increasingly interpreted as a post-apocalyptic vision reflecting both ongoing crises and aspirations for justice and equality. This study highlights the enduring political relevance of myths and cultural heritage. They function not only as instruments of legitimisation but also as powerful means of resistance and collective imagination, offering insight into the intersection of mythology, power, and identity in Indonesian cultural politics.

Abstract

This study examines the historical and cultural importance of the Talang Tuo Inscription and its potential as a heritage tourism resource in South Sumatra. Prior studies have predominantly concentrated on its philological and religious dimensions, resulting in a deficiency in comprehending its significance for cultural heritage management and sustainable tourism development. Commissioned by Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa in 684 AD, the inscription encapsulates Sriwijaya’s ethical, spiritual, ecological, and humanitarian perspective, highlighting welfare, social cohesion, and equilibrium with nature. This study utilizes the historical method, incorporating heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, and is based on inscription analysis, literature review, and field observations conducted at the Balaputera Dewa Museum. The findings indicate that the inscription served not only as an administrative record but also as a political and cultural manifesto that defined Sriwijaya’s identity as an ethical and ecological civilization. Currently, it has significant potential to advance heritage tourism through digital integration (AR/VR), site collaboration, and community-based management. This study emphasizes the need to convert the Talang Tuo Inscription into dynamic heritage, to enhance cultural diplomacy and sustainable heritage tourism, and to present a novel framework that amalgamates historical analysis with cultural tourism planning.

Abstract

This study examines the use of the Taman Wisata Kerajaan Sriwijaya Museum (TWKS) as a history-oriented educational tourist site in South Sumatra. Notwithstanding its significant cultural and educational potential, TWKS has not been effectively leveraged as a learning resource or historical tourist destination. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, including observations, interviews with 12 participants (museum staff, educators, and visitors), and documentation. The data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, which included data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings identify three primary impediments: constrained digital innovation, insufficient institutional collaboration, and minimal public advocacy, which obstruct TWKS's role as a hub for education and cultural tourism. This museum has the potential to evolve into a vibrant learning environment that links historical knowledge with modern educational experiences. This study advocates for the revitalization of TWKS through digital transformation, enhanced academic partnerships, and the creation of interactive programs. This study enhances the dialogue on cultural heritage management by proposing digital and institutional revitalization strategies to achieve sustainable educational tourism and to reinforce museums' role in fostering historical literacy and local identity formation.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the underutilization of the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum as an educational tourism site and a resource for local historical education, despite its substantial collections on the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate, colonialism, and South Sumatran culture. This study aims to clarify the use of the museum as an educational tour, analyze its role as a repository of local historical knowledge, and identify challenges and opportunities for its improvement within the context of history education in schools. The study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, using data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework. The findings reveal that the SMB II Museum has implemented educational tours through guided tours, cultural workshops, and thematic exhibitions that provide contextual learning experiences for students. Nonetheless, the museum's usage has been subpar due to insufficient facilities, a lack of innovative collection display, limited engagement from schools, and poor communication between the museum and educational institutions. These findings highlight the imperative of modernizing educational media, improving collaboration between museums and schools, and securing local government support to ensure the museum functions effectively as a center for local history education.

Abstract

Musi River has a strategic role in the regional economic development of South Sumatra since the Sriwijaya Kingdom until the modern era. In addition, the Musi River is the main transportation route in South Sumatra. The river also supports trade, distribution of goods, as well as the development of tourism and culture-based creative economy. This research aims to analyze the role of the Musi River from the perspective of history and geography in supporting the regional economy. This research uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive approach to examine various written sources related to the history, transportation, trade, and tourism of the Musi River. Data was collected from journal articles, books, and official photographs to obtain a comprehensive analysis. The results show that the Musi River contributes significantly to domestic and export trade, especially through the Boom Baru port. In addition, the potential for water tourism and cultural festivals supports the development of the creative economy. However, challenges such as sedimentation and infrastructure modernization still need to be addressed. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the sustainable use of the Musi River for South Sumatra's economic growth.

Abstract

This study investigates the utilization of primary source-based instruction by history educators to improve historical literacy among senior high school students within the framework of the Independent Curriculum. The research utilized a qualitative case study approach at a public high school in South Sumatra, incorporating classroom observations, comprehensive interviews, and document analysis, with data evaluated in accordance with the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that educators organized learning via the phases of planning, implementation, and evaluation, guided by four elements of historical thinking: sourcing, context. However, the implementation of these elements varied across classroom practices. Consistently across classroom practices. Teachers always instructed students to determine the origins of sources and their intended purposes. However, students often struggled with this task due to their limited reading levels, insufficient time, and limited access to physical primary sources. Archival documents, historical photographs, obsolete newspapers, and local artefacts predominantly served as mediated instructional resources influenced by teacher scaffolding, rather than as direct enablers of historical literacy. The research empirically demonstrates that the advancement of historical literacy through primary sources is a negotiated and context-sensitive process influenced by teacher mediation, student readiness, and institutional factors. By demonstrating how the Independent Curriculum alters and constrains historical thinking frameworks, the study theoretically advances the discourse on source-based pedagogy.

Abstract

This study analyzes Kalasan Temple as a religious and political entity that articulated and mobilized Mahayana Buddhist ideology to bolster dynastic legitimacy during the Śailendra dynasty in eighth-century Java. The study utilizes a historical-archaeological approach, systematically applying heuristics, critical source evaluation, interpretation, and historiography to both primary data, specifically the Kalasan Inscription (778 CE) and the temple’s architectural and ornamental characteristics, as well as secondary scholarship in history, archaeology, and Buddhist studies. This research reinterprets epigraphic and architectural data by contextualizing Kalasan within the broader framework of contemporary Buddhist monuments in Central Java, such as Sari, Plaosan, and the Borobudur complex, to evaluate common ideological patterns and institutional strategies, rather than regarding existing literature as a descriptive authority. The analysis reveals that Kalasan’s establishment as a Bhavanam, bolstered by royal patronage and simā land grants, signifies a purposeful incorporation of Mahayana devotional practices into the political framework of Ancient Mataram. The study demonstrates, through comparative architectural and contextual analysis, that Mahayana Buddhism functioned as both elite religiosity and a legitimizing framework connecting rulers, monastic communities, and society. This article emphasizes methodological rigor and intersite comparison, offering critical insights into the interplay between religious ideology and political authority, demonstrating how sacred architecture actively influenced the development of early Javanese civilization.
