Abstract

In Linggoasri Village, many families consist of members who practice various religious beliefs. This diversity fosters an atmosphere of tolerance, where individuals respect and embrace each other's differences. This study aims to understand how multi-religious families build social resilience to create harmonious lives and navigate the complexities of a pluralistic society. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing data collection methods such as field observations, in-depth interviews with multi-religious families, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the social resilience of families in Linggoasri is rooted in key principles: mutual respect, religious freedom, openness to interfaith dialogue, and compassion. These principles are actively practiced in daily interactions, serving as the foundation for fostering harmony. The dynamics of everyday life in such families require a conscious effort to balance the practice of personal beliefs with the need to nurture a sense of togetherness. Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus provides a useful framework for understanding these families. Their habitus has evolved within a deeply rooted pluralistic environment, shaping an inclusive society that values mutual respect for religious differences.

Abstract

Historical narratives highlight the gardu, a bamboo gateway structure, as a traditional Javanese technology for neighborhood security. During the initial three months of the COVID-19 pandemic, a resurgence of gardu construction was observed in Yogyakarta as communities adapted this cultural practice to shield themselves from the virus. These structures became a means of mitigating both the pandemic’s spread and the accompanying flood of panic-inducing rumors. Communities increasingly viewed outsiders as potential virus carriers, often metaphorically equating them to thieves or malevolent forces threatening their safety. This paper explores the community’s experience in responding to the coronavirus crisis through the immediate construction of gardu in urban housing complexes. It examines how moral panic shaped community perceptions and actions, such as the erection of these structures to create physical and symbolic barriers against outsiders. Also, this study explore the community perception of gardu after the pandemic. Ethnographic research, including observations and interviews, was conducted in two gated hamlets in Yogyakarta. Additional data were sourced from prior studies on community responses to pandemics, with a focus on experiences from 2020, and their current perception of gardu after the pandemic. This study seeks to analyze gardu as a local, culturally embedded form of lockdown, assessing its effectiveness from an anthropological perspective. It also aims to reflect on the ways in which pandemic situations disrupt community behaviors and to draw lessons for future crisis preparedness; as well as decribe the community changing perception towards gardu and the post pandemic situation.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between music and politics through the lens of affective resonance, spanning the Soekarno era (ngak-ngik-ngok), the New Order (cengeng), and the Reformation (ambyar) era. Using music analysis and remote ethnography as its methods, the article argues that music, particularly its sonic qualities, plays a crucial role in shaping affective politics—a form of politics distinct from ideological politics. The banning of ngak-ngik-ngok music during the Soekarno era was not merely an anti-imperialism or anti-colonialism ideological stance but also an exercise in affective politics, where Soekarno sought to regulate citizens' "mental health" through sound. Similarly, the prohibition of cengeng songs during the New Order (Orba) era reflected concerns about the interplay between their melancholic sound and lyrical content, which were perceived as weakening the ideology of national development. In contrast, the melancholia of ambyar music in the Reformation era introduces a form of "pleasant sadness," reinforcing apolitical tendencies as a response to the exhaustion caused by global neoliberalism. This affect-ive engagement offers an alternative political expression, shaping sensibilities and moods outside traditional political frameworks. Affects and sensibilities mediated through listening practices and sonorous environments are as influential in shaping political dynamics as institutions, markets, and the information networks of civil society organizations.

Abstract

Pregnancy and childbirth bring significant biological and psychological changes, requiring the body to adapt. These changes, particularly in body shape, often lead some women to prioritize regaining or maintaining an ideal physical shape after giving birth. Despite the availability of modern biomedical care, Javanese women continue to practice traditional postpartum beauty treatments. This study examines the meanings of beauty and health for postpartum women through traditional practices.Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, the research was conducted in Yogyakarta with three informants—mothers who consistently practice traditional postpartum care. Data were collected through observations, interviews, field notes, and document analysis to understand the cultural practices, behaviors, habits, and interactions of the informants.The findings highlight that traditional postpartum care is instrumental in helping these women maintain physical attractiveness, strengthen their relationships with their husbands, and preserve family traditions. Key practices identified include the use of a gurita, stagen, corset, pilis, jamu beras kencur, and betel leaf decoction. These practices are regarded by the informants as essential for maintaining health and beauty after childbirth.

Abstract

Small talk serves as a societal effort to foster interactions among individuals. This linguistic habit plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of social interactions. A similar phenomenon is observed in Pulau Penyengat, where small talk is deeply ingrained in the community's daily life. Instead of using the conventional phrase "how are you," the people of Pulau Penyengat employ a unique term, "tak ade". This term opens a window into understanding the patterns of small talk and its significance in the lives of the island's residents. This qualitative study employs an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The analysis involved three stages: data reduction, triangulation, and verification or conclusion drawing. The findings reveal four distinct patterns of small talk in Pulau Penyengat: speech context, actor patterns, pronunciation patterns, and the usage patterns of "tak ade". Additionally, the research identifies a categorization of community groups based on how they interpret "tak ade" in their small talk habits. These groups consist of the noble Melayu and the commoner Melayu.
