Abstract

The bamboo woven craftsmen community in Purwaraja faces significant challenges amid global changes and a hedonistic lifestyle that prioritizes practicality over tradition. This research uses a qualitative ethnographic approach to explore the development and meaning of bamboo woven crafts in the Purwaraja community, focusing on societal value shifts and adaptive strategies to preserve local wisdom. Findings reveal the emergence of Mabokuy, a modern art form blending bamboo craft aesthetics with performing arts, reflecting the artist’s creativity and contemporary realities. Mabokuy arose from concerns about diminishing cultural awareness and loss of respect for nature. Bamboo symbolizes courage, natural beauty, strength, resilience, flexibility, loyalty, and respect—values deeply rooted in Sundanese arts and traditions where bamboo plays a vital cultural role. This art form not only entertains but also educates and promotes sustainable culture by fostering environmental awareness and cultural continuity. Mabokuy embodies ancestral tradition preservation, aiming to ensure its survival and relevance in the face of modernization. Ultimately, the art represents a sustainable cultural expression that reinforces the importance of environmental stewardship and community identity for future generations.

Abstract

Historical manuscripts constitute primary sources that document historical dynamics, systems of knowledge, and cultural values within a society. Scholarship on the Gandoang Manuscript has largely emphasized philological aspects, whereas the local wisdom that shapes Galuh identity has received limited attention. This study aims to examine the representation of silih asah, silih asih, and silih asuh in the Gandoang Manuscript as foundational elements of Galuh local wisdom. The research employed a qualitative approach using content analysis of the manuscript in its transliterated and translated forms, complemented by a literature review on Galuh history, Sundanese manuscripts, and the concept of local wisdom. The analysis proceeded through thematic identification, data categorization, contextual interpretation, and theoretical synthesis. The findings indicate that the Gandoang Manuscript articulates three principal dimensions of local wisdom: knowledge transmission (silih asah), social solidarity (silih asih), and ethical leadership (silih asuh). These values constitute a cultural system that sustains collective memory and reinforces Galuh identity. The study extends current understanding of manuscripts as media for cultural value transmission and provides a conceptual basis for history education grounded in local heritage and for the preservation of Sundanese manuscript traditions.

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan untuk menjawab berbagai permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh kelompok pengrajin gula aren di Dusun Pagerbatu, Desa Batulawang, Kota Banjar. Permasalahan utama meliputi keterbatasan alat produksi gula aren semut dan standar produksi gula aren gandu, lemahnya manajemen sumber daya manusia karena minimnya regenerasi pengrajin, strategi pemasaran yang masih bersifat konvensional dengan ketergantungan pada pengepul, serta belum adanya identitas dan legalitas usaha yang kuat seperti branding, izin PIRT, sertifikasi halal, dan media promosi. Metode yang digunakan dalam program pengabdian ini adalah pendekatan partisipatif melalui sosialisasi, pelatihan, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Kegiatan yang dilaksanakan meliputi penyuluhan peningkatan kualitas produksi gula aren, pelatihan digital marketing, pendampingan desain kemasan dan branding produk, serta fasilitasi pengurusan legalitas usaha. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa mitra pengrajin mulai mampu menghasilkan produk gula aren dengan kualitas yang lebih baik, memahami pentingnya identitas dan legalitas usaha, serta memanfaatkan media digital sebagai sarana promosi dan pemasaran. Penerapan branding dan digital marketing terbukti meningkatkan daya saing produk sekaligus membuka akses pasar yang lebih luas. Dengan demikian, program pemberdayaan ini berkontribusi pada peningkatan kapasitas usaha pengrajin gula aren dan berdampak pada peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat di Desa Batulawang.

Abstract

This study examines Nyiar Lumar as a form of ritual performance that functions as cultural memory work in reconstructing history, sacralizing landscape, and shaping collective spirituality in the Kawali community of West Java, Indonesia. Drawing on cultural memory theory, performance studies, and spiritual ecology, the research employs a qualitative approach combining performance ethnography, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and symbolic analysis. The findings demonstrate that the historical narrative of the Palagan Bubat is transformed into a moral and identity-bearing symbol through embodied performance, rather than reproduced as a fixed historical account. The Astana Gede site operates as a sacred landscape mediating relationships between humans, nature, and ancestral memory, enabling ritual experience to generate ecological awareness and spiritual reflection. Egalitarian communal participation reinforces the transmission of ancestral values, social cohesion, and cultural resilience. This study advances scholarship by conceptualizing ritual performance as an integrative practice in which historical memory, artistic expression, and ecological ethics are mutually constituted. By foregrounding an Indonesian case rarely discussed in international literature, the article contributes empirical depth and theoretical insight to debates in cultural memory studies, performance studies, and heritage scholarship on the interconnections between ritual, environment, and spirituality

Abstract

Jalungmas dance is a new dance created by the people of Cilacap, Indonesia. This dance is adapted from Jaipong and Calung Banyumasan dances, formed from the cultural background of coastal communities, which not only feature beautiful movements and music, but also contain deep meanings that reflect their lives, values, and characters. The research aims to analyze Jalungmas dance as a representation of coastal communities, uncover the meanings and symbols contained within it, and examine the reflection of character from an ecological perspective. Using qualitative methods and an interdisciplinary approach, including observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that this dance represents the close relationship between the community and its natural surroundings, reflected in the movements, props, and musical accompaniment of the dance. Its meaning encompasses harmony, unity, togetherness, independence, and respect for nature. The symbols used reinforce the community's identity as fishermen. This dance also reflects a resilient, adaptive character that upholds local wisdom in living a life close to the sea. In addition, it represents and reflects a hard-working character that is adaptive to the environment. This dance is a medium for preserving local culture and strengthening identity. The research is expected to provide new insights into understanding dance as a representation of society and preserving a cultural heritage that is rich in meaning and noble values.
