Abstract

The Memayu Buyut Trusmi ritual is a traditional custom that is still preserved by the Trusmi community as part of their efforts to preserve local culture. This study aims to analyze the role of communication practices in the Memayu Buyut Trusmi ritual in maintaining cultural values, collective identity, and social solidarity within the community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a communication ethnography method. Data were obtained through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with religious leaders, key figures, and the community directly involved in the ritual. Data analysis was conducted using Dell Hymes' SPEAKING framework, which includes the elements of Setting, Participants, Ends, Act Sequence, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, and Genre. The results of the study show that the Trusmi Memayu Buyut Ritual is a structured and meaningful cultural communication event. Cultural preservation is not only reflected in the physical maintenance of sacred buildings through the replacement of welit, but also through ritual communication that is symbolic, repetitive, and participatory. The involvement of traditional and religious authorities and the active participation of the community confirm that ritual communication plays an important role in the inheritance of values, the strengthening of cultural identity, and the sustainability of the traditions of the Trusmi community.

Abstract

Music has a significant role as a universal communication tool that is able to express feelings, ideas, emotions and reflections to its listeners. The song "Semua Aku Dirayakan" by Nadin Amizah is not only a means of entertainment but also offers a deep meaning related to introspection about self-acceptance, gratitude, and life's journey through deep metaphors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with Ferdinand De Saussure's semiotic approach, which focuses on the relationship between signifiers and signifieds to help us understand how signs work to form, change and communicate meaning in certain contexts. Data was collected from fanbase and general listener interviews as well as lyric analysis. This research aims to analyze the meaning of the lyrics of the song "Semua Aku Dirayakan" to reveal the message contained and connected to the listener's interpretation. The results of this research show that the song "Semua Aku Dirayakan" can be a universal reflection medium with a deep meaning about self-acceptance and respect for every phase of life. This research provides theoretical contributions to the study of semiotics and practical benefits for listeners in understanding the meaning of song lyrics more deeply.

Abstract

 The Literacy Village Program reflects the local government’s strategic efforts to improve the Community Literacy Development Index (IPLM) particularly by strengthening a community-based literacy culture. In 2024, the IPLM score in Cirebon Regency remains relatively low. Thes condition show that literacy development cannot rely solely on policy-driven approaches but also needs active involvement from the community as the main actors. This study examines how community participation in the Literacy Village Program contributes to improving the IPLM in Cirebon Regency. It applies to a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research subjects include the Cirebon Regency Archives and Library Office, Literacy Village managers, and the local community. The results of the study indicate that community participation in the Literacy Village Program is in the early stages of development. The community is quite actively involved in various literacy activities organized, although involvement in planning and expressing aspirations is still dominated by a small number of individuals. Socially inclusive literacy programs, such as training activities linked to community economic needs, show a positive contribution to increasing community interest and involvement. The findings of this study indicate that community participation is a key factor in the sustainability of the Program.
