Abstract

As a product of the creative process, song lines or lyrics are also forms of poetry containing aesthetical and ethical values. Song lyrics and poetry are like two sides of the coin, intertwined. Classical Minang song lyrics as a cultural product of traditional Minang people are objects that contain moral messages and life values. The cultural values contained in the song texts come from the experiences and life realities of the people. This research aims to reveal the meaning and cultural values contained in classical Minang songs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literary sociology approach/theory. The research results show that cultural values in the Minang song texts align with the life attitudes of the Minang people. The cultural values of the Sumbang duo Baleh in the song “Si Nona” composed by Syamsul Arifin and the song “Lamang Tapai” composed by Nuskan Syarif are the traditional songs providing advice for Minang young women in maintaining their positive self-esteem. The classical Minang songs can be used as a means to preserve cultural values in developing the morals of future generations. By understanding the texts of Minang regional songs, they will appreciate and maintain various elements of their ancestral culture, as a reflection of the identity of the Minang people and elements of national culture.

Abstract

Lullabies are a phenomenon that is both local and universal across the globe. Despite their deep local roots, lullabies exist in nearly all cultures worldwide. The Minangkabau society in West Sumatra, Indonesia, have a traditional lullaby practice known as manjujai. However, this tradition is gradually eroding and beginning to fade due to the influence of technology and modernization. Beyond its primary role as a lullaby to lull children to sleep, manjujai also functions as a medium for conveying messages, especially cultural and religious values, intended to be embedded in children’s minds. This study aims to describe, reveal, and analyze the meanings and functions of manjujai as a cultural expression of the Minangkabau community, while connecting its universal values to lullabies in other cultures worldwide. This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, with data collected through an analysis of manjujai texts. The findings reveal that manjujai texts serve three social functions: (1) expressing feelings, thoughts, and life attitudes; (2) teaching cultural values through advice, messages, and hopes; (3) presenting linguistic beauty, comfort, tranquility, and well-being for the listening child, The shared essence of lullabies worldwide lies in their expressions of love, gentleness, and care. Many lullabies possess a peaceful, hyponic quality. Fatigue, the darkening night, difficulties in falling asleep, and the act of sleeping itself are universal elements that inspire the melodic and lyrical threads of lullabies worldwide.

Abstract

Abstract Balik's traditional cuisine has high historical and social value, yet is poorly known outside the local community. This challenge is compounded by modernization and lifestyle changes that threaten the survival of these culinary traditions. The lack of documentation and research on the recipes, cooking techniques and cultural values of Balik cuisine further exacerbates the situation, making this great potential untapped in tourism development in the nation's capital. Therefore, an in-depth exploration is needed to understand and promote the traditional Balik cuisine as an integral part of the tourism strategy in the nation's capital. This research aims to explore the culinary of Suku Balik and its contribution to tourism development in the nation's capital. This research uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, which involves participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature analysis. Previous literature shows that traditional cuisine plays an important role in promoting cultural identity and attracting tourists, but there have not been many studies that specifically focus on the Balik Tribe's cuisine in the context of the development of the National Capital. This research differs by emphasizing the specific context of the National Capital City and a holistic approach to culture and tourism. The results show that Suku Balik cuisine has great potential to be developed as a culinary tourism attraction in the National Capital, with its rich flavors, unique local ingredients, and interesting cultural stories. However, there are challenges in terms of preserving traditional recipes, preparing human resources, and marketing. Recommendations from this study are as follows. (1) Training and education for local communities to maintain and develop traditional culinary skills. (2) Collaboration between the government, tourism actors, and local communities to create attractive culinary tour packages. (3) Marketing strategies that emphasize the uniqueness of the Balik Tribe's culinary. Suggestions for future research are to conduct a more in-depth study of the economic impact of traditional culinary tourism development and further explore the potential for collaboration between regions to promote the culinary archipelago.

Abstract

The practice of male circumcision is celebrated through the Sunna Hadat ritual by a Muslim community living within a predominantly Christian and Catholic society. This article examines Sunna Hadat as an oral tradition and a mechanism of social reproduction, as well as the dynamics of interreligious tolerance surrounding its enactment. As an oral tradition, Sunna Hadat incorporates mantras, prayers, and customary chants transmitted genealogically through customary institutions and performed by elders, religious leaders, and the nuclear family. While its narrative structure remains relatively stable, variations in diction and symbolic emphasis occur across generations. Transformations are evident in linguistic adjustments, ritual duration, and the stronger integration of formal Islamic elements compared to earlier practices. Using a cultural studies approach, particularly the theory of representation developed by Stuart Hall and the concept of rites of passage introduced by Arnold van Gennep, this study demonstrates that Sunna Hadat affirms social transition and reflects ongoing identity negotiation in a multireligious context.
