Abstract

Kris has been known as a sacred object; and often passed down by the owner to their descendants as inheritance. Through this process the assumption about Kris as the sacred object is maintained. However, nowadays, people no longer consider Kris as a valuable and sacred object as before, and some of them refuse to inherit a Kris from their parents. This research describes the meaning of Kris for people who inherit it from their parents and ancestors; what is their attitude toward Kris and how their attitude may represent the desacralization of Kris. This research was conducted in an ethnographic approach. Data collected through observation, in-depth interviews and literature review. Clifford Geertz’s symbolic interpretation theory was used as the framework of analysis. Findings of this research suggest that the heirs of Kris often interpret it as an ordinary object; and they no longer view the essence and nobility of Kris. This view leads them to develop skepticism towards the mystical phenomenon of Kris. Sometimes, they even refuse to inherit Kris due to social, cultural and religious considerations. In some cases, they consider Kris as a burden to them. These phenomena demonstrated how Kris loses its sacred dimension nowadays.

Abstract

This study examines the Mentawai struggle to perform their cultural identity in the middle of hegemonic influence development and policies which contradicts their cultural identity and which gives rise to a cultural crisis. Critical anthropology's view shows that humans have the potential to create creativity and customisation. However, the Mentawai are limited and suppressed by social factors, cultural conditions, and exploited by the authorities. It means that the reality as Mentawai is not created by nature, but by humans, who have the power to manipulate the condition and patent the meaning that suits his own mind that is full of conflict, illusion, and distortion. Mentawai are in a ‘false consciousness’ that modernisation helps them to see the better world and have consciously stuttered (cultural backwardness) from that subconscious condition. Culture is deliberately clashed with modernisation in various elements of life such as in customs, language, food, and lifestyle. Furthermore, the generalization of development programmes also intervenes to sharpen the domination to narrow down the socio-cultural life of the Mentawai. However, they are not rigid. They practice cultural tactics (cultural meaning) in order to keep up with modernisation. They also consider modernisation and globalization as ‘interaction spaces’ in which the contestation of various elements of human life take place.

Abstract

This research aims to listen and understand the sonic experience of Timbulsloko people as they live in a village that is sinking caused by climate crisis and human dominated development. Using sonic ethnography as its method, this research finds that Timbulsloko people experience sepi (silent) or suwung (void) which is a constant reminder of their condition. To navigate their life against the suwung, people of Timbulsloko is actively creating a condition of rame (noisy, festive, abundance) and seneng (happy) by listening loud dangdut music and Qur’an recitation through big sound systems.

Abstract

Gunungkidul is one of the livestock-producing regions in Indonesia. Anthrax poses a significant threat to both livestock health and human well-being in the area. Various risk factors contribute to Anthrax transmission, including sociocultural factors, especially the Brandu Tradition. Brandu is a tradition in Gunungkidul where a group of community members collect funds to buy dead or sick cattle (usually cows) owned by one of the community members, at a meager price. The funds then were given to the cattle owner as a collective support for losing his cattle. The sick or dead cattle being slaughtered and the meat were distributed among the community members who participate in the funding. The tradition of distributing dead cattle meat has significantly contributed to the spread of zoonoses diseases, including Anthrax. This research aims to analyze the factors that underpin the Brandu tradition; to explore the role of this tradition in spreading Anthrax; as well as to propose an appropriate recommendation for the strategy to eliminate the Brandu tradition in Gunungkidul which fits within the local socio-cultural context. This research applies a qualitative ethnography approach. Findings of this research suggest that lack of knowledge about Anthrax disease as well as some socio-cultural, psychological, and economic factors underpin the Brandu tradition. However, other traditions of collecting funds, such as Jimpitan, to relieve economic burden due to cattle loss could be promoted to gradually replace the tradition of slaughtering sick or dead cattle.

Abstract

Small, Micro, and Medium scale Enterprise (SMME) mostly begin in the form of family based business. In this type of business, division of labor is also based on the family division of labor, which is mostly based on the gender division of labor. Drawing from the cases of six SMME in Leuwiliang market at Bogor City, this study aims at analyzing how gender values, norms, and ideology have influenced the gender based division of labor in the family and business of SMME. The study was conducted using a qualitative method with a case study model. Findings of this study suggest that all of the six SMME divide the labor based on gender and that patriarchy has much influence on it. Both husband and wife are involved in the business, but the portion and contribution of each of them are different. Some SMME tend to divide the labor in more patriarchal ways than others. The difference comes from gender values, norms, and ideology believed and practiced by the family. The more patriarchal the family, the more their tendency to divide work based on gender; and the more they give power to men than women. These findings also suggest that in SMME, gender inequality still persists and puts women in the disadvantageous position despite their growing contribution in the family business.
