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 The changing consumer preferences gradually displaced the distinctive Jepara motifs, which were perceived as outdated, less appealing, and less competitive compared to foreign products.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 discusses the endeavors to build a harmonious relationship between the colony of the Dutch East Indies and the motherland, the Netherlands, through the association politics in Indische toneel (Indies play) performances of Karina Adinda and Boeddhakind in 1913-1933. In the midst of the natives movement, where the natives put in motion their thoughts and ideas against the oppressive colonial government, a new cultural consciousness that desired a dialogue between East and West also appeared as the consequences of the implementation of the Dutch Ethical Policy. One of its aspects was performing art. Through historical method, this anomaly is examined through the performances of two Indische toneel namely Karina Adinda and Boeddhakind, Indische toneel that combined West dramaturgy with Javanese performances such as gamelan and traditional dances. The performances were produced in cooperation with organizations such as Vereeniging Oost en West, Het Nederlandsch-Indonesisch Verbond van Jongeren-Organisaties (NIVJO), and other Indonesian students in the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands. The performances garnered disapproval from nationalists and praise from ethnicists

Abstract

In long-term planning, the central area of Semarang City is intended to serve as a centre for government, business development, and trade. As a result, more and more settlements are being evicted or marginalized. The manufacturing industry was relocated for business expansion, so it needed new land both to develop activities and provide supporting facilities. These two sectors eventually shifted to the city's outskirts, causing spatial transformation in suburban areas. This research was conducted as social research with an environmental history approach. The problem that arises is how suburban areas should move due to changes in land use and significant increases in land values. This study applies qualitative research methods with a historical approach to look at phenomena that occur in the suburbs of Semarang. The research results show that, in the 21st century, rice fields and swamps in the eastern region of Semarang City have been converted into industrial areas. This area connects Semarang City with cities in the eastern region of Java Island. Meanwhile, the western part of the city of Semarang, with its flat topography and close to the coast, has become an industrial area and is also being built for residential purposes. Both are close to Tanjung Emas Harbor. Increasingly intensive changes in land use have caused land prices to increase significantly yearly.

Abstract

The Indonesian draft law on food explicitly recognizes food as a basic human need and a fundamental right for every citizen. Staple foods are also commodities that significantly influence the nation's economic life. Therefore, food issues in Indonesia have always been a government concern. In the early days of independence, Indonesia faced the threat of a food crisis. This ongoing threat has consistently garnered attention from both the executive and legislative branches throughout various eras. Using a historical method, this article outlines the dynamics of the Indonesian parliament during the New Order era in formulating food laws. The urgency of these laws lies in regulating food production and distribution to ensure the fulfillment of the Indonesian people's food needs. Furthermore, government policies should ideally be oriented towards food sovereignty. Research findings reveal that the Food Law formulated and passed at the end of the New Order era actually attempted to be oriented towards food security and was critical of capitalism. This can be seen from the opinions of the factions in parliament during the formulation of the Food Law.

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

This article examines the social revolution in Surakarta, characterized by the anti-autonomous movement during the early years of the Indonesian Republic's independence, leading to the collapse of the Mangkunegaran autonomous government. Using historical methods, the article explores the initially positive relationship between the Mangkunegaran Duchy and the people in the late colonial period, evident in various factors such as support for education, economic initiatives, and infrastructure development. However, this relationship took a downturn during the social revolution due to external factors. Surakarta became a hub for radical movements, particularly the Anti-Autonomous movement, as the Mangkunegaran Duchy made unfortunate decisions. The study's goal is to uncover how the Mangkunegaran Autonomous Government navigated through the social revolution in Surakarta, even though it eventually collapsed. The study findings indicate that, facing a crisis after declaring independence, the Mangkunegaran Duchy made a critical error by betraying the Indonesian Republic and seeking to reinstate Dutch rule. In response, the people initiated a revolutionary movement. Ultimately, the Mangkunegaran Duchy failed to overcome the crisis, making misguided decisions and becoming victims of the revolution. They struggled to uphold the traditional politics and economy of the palace, which had endured for centuries and had been passed down through generations.

Abstract

The advent of modernization in the 19th century significantly influenced the development of Langsa City, Aceh Province, as a cosmopolitan city. Despite having a strong Islamic tradition, Langsa was able to embrace cosmopolitanism without losing its Acehnese identity. This study focuses on the influence of cosmopolitanism on the socio-cultural life of the Langsa community. Cosmopolitanism in Langsa also influenced the lifestyle of its people, as seen in their global thinking and the perspectives of the educated elite. The research findings indicate that cosmopolitanism in Langsa has been ongoing for a long time, starting from the pre-Islamic era, continuing through the waves of European and other foreign arrivals, the influence of colonialism, independence, the arrival of modernist Islam, and up to the New Order political era. With abundant natural resources, Langsa has attracted foreigners. The interaction of people from various nations has led to the convergence of diverse cultures. However, despite being influenced by external cultures, the people of Langsa have also maintained their original culture amidst a hybrid culture. This is partly because the native people of Langsa, in their lifestyle, tend to follow the ulama(religious scholars) rather than the umara (secular leaders). As a cosmopolitan city, Langsa has also become a meeting place for modernist thoughts. One example is the acceptance of Muhammadiyah as a modernist Islamic organization.

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.
