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

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

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

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

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, 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.

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.

Abstract

Sistem matrilinieal tidak dikenal dalam masyarakat Jawa. Namun, ternyata sistem ini dapat ditemukan pada masyarakat di Dusun Sawangan, Petungkriyono, Jawa Tengah. Dalam sistem matrilienal yang berlaku, perempuan memiliki hak utama atas warisan orang tua. Sistem ini tidak hanya menentukan kepemilikan aset, tetapi juga membentuk struktur sosial serta relasi gender antar laki-laki dan perempuan. Penelitian ini membahasan pengalaman laki-laki yang hidup dalam masyarakat matrilineal, khususnya strategi yang mereka lakukan untuk mengatasi keterbatasannya terhadap akses harta keluarga. Dengan pendekatan etnografi, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi berbagai upaya yang dilakukan oleh laki-laki untuk membangun modal ekonomi dan meningkatkan status sosial dengan cara memanfaatkan akses lahan hutan melalui program social forestry, kerja sama dalam sistem upah gembala serta investasi dalam komoditas kopi dan kayu. Melalui perspektif teori strukturasi Anthony Giddens, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa laki-laki Sawangan tidak tunduk atau menentang sistem matrilineal yang ada, tetapi bertindak sebagai agen aktif yang secara strategis mereproduksi nilai-nilai maskulinitas dalam struktur masyarakat dengan cara yang halus. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa meskipun laki-laki Sawangan tidak memiliki kepemilikan tanah secara formal, mereka tetap memiliki ruang untuk berperan dalam ekonomi lokal. Dengan demikian, sistem matrilineal tidak serta-merta menyebabkan marginalisasi laki-laki, tetapi tetap membuka ruang bagi dinamika gender dan pergerakan strategis dalam struktur sosial yang ada.
