Abstract

The local film community run by cultural activists typically conducts several film practices, such as film production, distribution, and exhibition independently. In post-New Order Indonesia, the Banyumas subculture has become an alternative site of struggle for producing critical films against mainstream and commercial films. This study questions how Banyumas cultural activists develop critical learning and nurture an awareness-raising process for local students through filmmaking and how Banyumas’ local film production forms a new culture enacting social change. The authors adopt a qualitative approach with multiple case studies to investigate the phenomenon. The data was obtained by conducting in-depth interviews with cultural activists and the vocational/high school students as a filmmaker, observation, and documentation of the films they produced. This study implements Paulo Freire’s idea of critical pedagogy through collaborative filmmaking performed by Banyumas cultural activists and local young students within a specific cultural and outside-classroom setting. Through collaborative filmmaking, the local subjects interrogate the current sites of power and social roles by encouraging dialogue and problem-posing methods. Using visual media, the practice of empowering local cultural identities finds its embodiment in filmmaking as a process and result. As a living cultural expression, films preserve the local culture, redefine the value of humanism, and raise critical awareness about larger social, political, economic, gender, and cultural issues.

Abstract

The internet era has facilitated online streaming and social media platforms to burgeon, causing the flow of transnational pop cultures across regions and also offering diverse consumption of media content from around the globe. In Indonesia, the discussion on pop culture has often been centered on the proliferation of K-Pop's popularity among local audiences. Besides, the Boys Love (BL/Y) series from Thailand has also gained considerable interest in the last couple of years. While the consumption of K-Pop and Thailand's BL series in global mediascape is widely accepted without much controversy, incongruous feedbacks are present among Indonesian audiences, particularly pointing at the clash of ideological perspectives between its Muslim conservatives and the youth. The conservative group considers the media contents "vulgar" and "too liberal," while the latter defends them as part of contemporary youth culture and the freedom of expression. This paper then examines two study cases: Shopee's advertisement featuring the K-Pop group, BlackPink, and the case of Ruangguru's ambassador from Thailand, Bright Vachirawit. This paper uses qualitative textual analysis to focus on the two contested ideas (global versus local). The findings illustrate how BlackPink's female bodies and Bright's fluid identity as a lead actor in the BL series have been stigmatized and adjusted to become more acceptable commodities among pious audiences. This study helps to reveal the complexity of global consumption in a Muslim majority country where audiences' cultural identity construction has always been contested. Furthermore, it provides a glimpse of Indonesian society's current perspectives on gender and tolerance.

Abstract

In the context of radio, the gist of development communication is how the radio is used to aid social development. Although there are studies on radio listenership, research on women's listening habits in Malaysia is inadequate, although women are dominant radio listeners globally. This study examines factors that motivate women's listening to the radio, mainly in Semporna, Sabah. The central question is how radio has become significant among women in Semporna? This research employs a quantitative research approach. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from 294 female respondents. A chi-square test, factor analysis, and Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction were used to analyse the data. The findings of the chi-square test analysis revealed a significant link between radio listening and possessing a radio set at home (X2 = 33.871, df = 1, p 0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction was conducted to see whether the agreement score in listening to the radio for entertainment and peace of mind is different according to four factors: age, marital status, level of education and occupation. Thus, radio is no longer the primary medium to get information, except for undocumented people.

Abstract

The practice of film censorship has been in Indonesia since the Dutch East Indies era. Since then, film stakeholders have always been the battleground, as the different values and norms generate different views and beliefs. The critical constructionism paradigm is used to examine the contestation of film censorship in Indonesia. Four films released after the enactment of the 2009 Film Law are used as the case study: The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence, Naura & Genk Juara, and Memories of My Body. Data collection was done through a collection of news reports and social media posts that discussed the four films used as the case study. In addition, interviews with four stakeholders were done, which were an alternative cinema manager, a representative of the Indonesian Censorship Board (LSF), a representative of the Indonesian Film Body (BPI), and a film actor/director. The research results indicated that different stakeholders have different views and interests regarding film censorship, which explains why the polemic of contestation over the film censorship policy happens. Some people believe that film censorship should exist, as it would give control over society. At the same time, some people believe that film censorship should be replaced by film classification as a form of freedom of expression. There are also arguments over the standards of film censorship. Academically, the research’s significance is to develop studies regarding film censorship polemic and its stakeholders’ contestation. In contrast, practically, the research may be used to formulate film censorship regulation and policy by evaluating factors that may cause conflict among film stakeholders.

Abstract

Labor productivity is an important goal for national sustainable development. Thailand has a potential labor force and attracts significant foreign direct investment, especially from Japan. This research paper presents the current situation of labor productivity in Thailand and discusses how to upgrade the technical know-how for Thai engineering students through technical assistance from Japanese organizations and firms. This paper argues that the labor productivity of Thailand cannot boost the workforce’s skill without cooperation with foreign firms and organizations (Japanese ones in this case). This paper also raises the issue of university-industry linkages, which require comprehensive strategic cooperation between theory-based education and technical training, all of which contributes to the quality and adaptability of the labor force. This is a qualitative study based on interviews with Japanese organizations, Japanese firms, and universities in Thailand on how to enhance the technical skills of the labor force in the manufacturing industry. The paper uses a case study of Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology (TNI), which describes the training and “learning by doing” methods to upgrade the technical skills of the Thai workforce.

Abstract

Traditional handicrafts in Ha Dong, Van Phuc, Vietnam, are the subject of this study. Crafts are portable and manufactured by craftsmen with artistic and manual talents, serving immediate demands and are traded and exchanged. They may exhibit cultural significance and symbolic values of gender, age, ethnicity, and nationalism, forming part of social and religious beliefs. Unfortunately, growing industrialization, globalisation, and commodification have limited them. The Van Phuc village is a great case study for how it survived and developed during urbanisation and industrialization. Applying qualitative research, data was collected through offline observations, interviews, and document analysis from 2017-2021. This study found that lack of basic infrastructure, less competitive products, traditional crafts style, and anxiety for future succession have inhibited the village's promotion of its values. To help stakeholders understand and safeguard the village, some implications are proposed.

Abstract

China has embarked on a massive infrastructure development project across and through its Southeast Asian neighbors such as the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC). While China is the world's second largest economy, Myanmar is on the United Nations' list of 48 least developed countries (LDCs) with over 70% of the population living in rural areas and depend on agriculture. While China has no religion Myanmar's culture is immersed in Theravada Buddhism. We used a dataset from the World Values Survey to analyze the cultural variances based on the Value-Orientation Framework. Our findings show that the two countries differ significantly in almost all of the value orientations. Challengers such as a lack of a common history, religion and language had already raised tensions and conflicts in past projects and would lead to an erosion of the project-benefits upon the completion of the CMEC. This paper highlights the implications and pitfalls to avoid for both countries.

Abstract

Indigenous peoples (IPs) constantly face challenges in terms of culture, land and human rights. The IPs are often the subjects of government and private corporations' resource extraction and development initiatives in their ancestral domains and territories, hence, development aggression. This paper aims to have a critical analysis of the existing development aggression experienced by the IPs within the ten (10) member-states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The researchers contend that ASEAN and its member-states lack robust actions and efficiency in addressing development aggression. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study utilized the Key Informant Interview (KII) as the primary data, along with document review for secondary sources. This study argues that the development aggression continues to persist among the ASEAN member states as the majority of member states failed to recognize IPs, resulting in continued infringement of their rights. Moreover, the COVID-19 measures was utilized against IP communities and the constant advancement of extractive industries. Furthermore, it has been proven that both National policies and regional mechanisms confront considerable difficulties and need more legal frameworks in dealing with development aggression. The ASEAN member-states are not fully implementing customary rules and other international standards established by organizations such as the UN and the ILO. This study found that there are five (5) policies which may help protecting the IPs against development aggression. The development of Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRMs) within the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) specific for IPs and the inclusion of indigenous communities in income- generating projects developed in their ancestral lands and resources is the main one.

Abstract

In enacting its "Philosophical Axis", the Government of Yogyakarta forged a significant policy thattransformed its relations with community members especially street vendors. Under this policy,street vendors were relocated from their previous locations to sites known as Teras 1 and Teras 2Malioboro. Although the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World HeritageConvention mandate the practice of sustainable development, street vendors—the economicbackbone of the Special Region of Yogyakarta—indicate that they have experienced a drastic loss ofincome due to accessibility issues. This research explores the impact of relocation on street vendors'income as well as short, medium, and long term plans for the new sites. Data were collected throughquestionnaires that were distributed to ninety respondents from Teras 1 and Teras 2, in-depthinterviews, and a review of the literature.
