Abstract

This paper focuses on the historical exploration and collective memory of the Tamiang Monument in Medan, Indonesia. This paper examines how monuments can build collective memory and link history to people's lives at a certain time so that it can be interpreted. Through historical methods, the study results show that the Tamiang Monument plays an essential role in the inheritance of collective memory about the conquest of Tamiang as part of the Aceh region by the Dutch colonialists. The monument is an important symbol to remind people of the greatness and courage in the struggle against the colonizers. However, after the Tamiang Monument was destroyed, all narratives and reminders of the Tamiang War were lost. The loss of this monument also has implications for the loss of the values of the legacy of tenacity, fighting spirit, and collective identity associated with this important event. Therefore, it is important to rebuild the Tamiang Monument as an initial step to revive collective memory and pass on the values of struggle to the younger generation. Monuments play an important role in building and maintaining the community's collective identity and strengthening the historical awareness of the Tamiang and Aceh communities.

Abstract

This article discusses Mohammad Sjafei's nationalist thoughts in the fields of politics and education from 1914 to 1958. This research uses historical methods. The article contains a description of how the educational system under the Ethical Policy program provided opportunities for the rise of nationalism among the indigenous people. The expansion of education encouraged openness of mind and knowledge among the indigenous population. This process of nationalist awakening stimulated the emergence of national thinkers who played a role in the struggle during the movement era. The role and contribution of these national thinkers are important to study in order to enhance understanding and knowledge in the field of intellectual history. One such national thinker examined in this article is Mohammad Sjafei. He was a national education figure who had nationalist thoughts in the fields of politics and education. His nationalist thoughts in politics encompassed values of unity, national loyalty, and love for the nation. His nationalist thoughts in education emphasized the importance of forming the nation’s identity and promoting education that is Indonesiacentric. Sjafei implemented these two nationalist thoughts in his educational practices at Indonesisch Nederlandsche School Kayutanam. The school was used as a medium to disseminate nationalistic awareness, sharpen intellectual intelligence, and develop skills.

Abstract

This study examines the topic of Galungan, a cultural practice in Bali that occurs every 210 days. Galungan is not only celebrated in Bali but also in almost all major cities in Indonesia and around the world. In every celebration, Galungan is always referred to as the day of victory of dharma (virtue) over adharma (evil). This topic is examined using a postmodern approach, employing Foucault's theory of power-knowledge relations. The aim is to uncover the hidden power-knowledge relations within it. To achieve this goal, Galungan is positioned as subjugated knowledge. The research question is, what knowledge is subjugated, so that a single discourse emerges that Galungan is a celebration of the victory of dharma over adharma? This issue is examined using Foucault's methods of genealogy of power and archaeology of knowledge. The research results show that the reference to Galungan as the day of victory of dharma over adharma is the result of demythologization, a fictional story that is reconstructed and considered as truth. In order to realize this discourse, a great deal of old knowledge is subjugated, such as Galungan as the day of the arrival of ancestral spirits and the economic cycle of society. At the surface level, this effort is successful, in pemedek [worshippers] these two things are more prominent than highlighting the victory of dharma over adharma.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the 1957 Asian Flu Pandemic in Indonesia, focusing on the government and public response. The 1957 Asian Flu Pandemic was the second pandemic in the world after the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. The pandemic was caused by the H2N2 influenza virus and originated in China. From China, the virus spread to Hong Kong, Singapore, and the world, including Indonesia. The Asian flu was the first pandemic faced by the post-colonial government of the Republic of Indonesia. The pandemic occurred in Indonesia between May and August, with the number of sufferers reaching 202,469 people (according to the government). Using historical methods, this study shows that the existence of the Asian flu indirectly tested the government's work and readiness in dealing with a global pandemic. The Asian flu pandemic struck when the Indonesian government faced difficult problems after the War of Independence (1945-1949). This situation made it difficult for the government to act. Therefore, the policy of responding to the Asian flu seemed very careful and even slow. In addition, the lack of health sector services and infrastructure in various regions also interfered with handling the pandemic. This situation also caused poor coordination between the central and regional governments. As a result, the public became confused. People end up acting without direction, such as trying traditional medicine, spreading hoax news, violating quarantine rules, committing vaccination fraud, panic buying, and even performing various mystical rituals.

Abstract

This article presents a historical analysis of the growth of GKI Bondowoso, a Protestant Christian church in Indonesia. Employing a sociological approach and functionalism theory, to analyze the social functions of the church within its community as well as the interactions between the church and other social institutions. GKI Bondowoso, established on a land grant from a Muslim community, has a unique history. It became a founding member of the seven church clusters that led to the formation of GKI East Java. Since 1962, the church has strived for self-sufficiency and actively participated in the efforts to unify the GKI into a single organization. Throughout its history, GKI Bondowoso has experienced changes in pastoral leadership and commission activities. It has actively sought to positively influence its surrounding environment, including fostering integration with the ethnic Chinese community and learning about Madurese customs. The ethnic Chinese population in Bondowoso has successfully adopted the local language, facilitating better relationships within the community. However, the church's growth and sustainability have been supported by its positive relationships with the local community and other religious groups, demonstrating its positive influence on its environment.

Abstract

This article examines the process of degradation in Jepara’s ornamental woodcarving, driven primarily by internationalization. In this context, degradation refers to the decline or deterioration of the traditional Jepara woodcarving motifs as a result of modernization. Using historical methodology, the study reconstructs the factors that have contributed to the decline of Jepara’s ornamental woodcarving. The degradation process began with the arrival of foreign investors. On one hand, these investors facilitated the global marketing of Jepara carvings. However, this also required Jepara’s woodcarving products to conform to international market tastes, leading to a shift towards minimalist or even plain designs without traditional carvings. The changing consumer preferences gradually displaced the distinctive Jepara motifs, which were perceived as outdated, less appealing, and less competitive compared to foreign products. This decline in quality was further exacerbated by the export boom at the end of the 20th century. The findings reveal that the degradation of Jepara's ornamental motifs has significantly impacted the lives of local artisans, both in terms of the diminishing value and quality of their work, and in their struggle for survival by adapting to market demands

Abstract

This article examines the discourse on Islam found in articles published in Basis from 1998 to 2000. Basis is a cultural magazine founded in Yogyakarta by members of the Society of Jesus (SJ) in 1951. Since 1998, Basis has regularly featured writings on Islamic themes contributed by both Muslim and non-Muslim intellectuals. This research aims to understand why Basis, with its Catholic missionary vision and spirit, embraced Islamic themes during the 1998–2000 period and to what extent these Islamic and Islamic-themed articles reflect the journal's mission of interreligious dialogue in response to the "cultural freedom" of the Reform Era. A historical methodology using text analysis techniques was employed for this research. Primary sources included articles with Islamic themes published in Basis between 1998 and the early 2000s, as well as interview data. The findings indicate that following the fall of the New Order regime in 1998, Indonesia experienced "cultural freedom," including increased freedom of expression, which significantly influenced the media landscape. Basis' inclusion of articles with Islamic themes was a response to this "cultural freedom" in the contemporary context. The Islamic discourse presented in Basis primarily focused on contextual issues related to religious polarization and conflicts in Indonesia at the dawn of the Reform Era, including discussions on pluralism and the significance of interreligious dialogue within the framework of the nation-state. The Islamic discourse in Basis demonstrated a fluid nature, suggesting coexistence and close interaction among adherents of various value systems and worldviews.

Abstract

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Confucianism have a complex relationship in Indonesia. Therefore, this article focuses on the relationship between human rights principles and religious traditions that consider the importance of the UDHR for Confucians. It is also related to the fulfilment of the rights to freedom of religion and education, and it focuses on the case of the elimination of Confucian religious education during the New Order in Indonesia. This article is compiled using historical methods. The primary sources used are Supreme Council of the Confucian Religion (MATAKIN) correspondence with the government officials. The study results show that the Confucian community uses the UDHR as a promotional medium for Confucian religious education in schools. In addition, they fight for Confucianism to gain legal recognition as a religion.
