Abstract

The study focused on the preservation of the Pulau Sawah Temple complex under the management of Batusangkar Historical and Archaeological Heritage Conservation Agency (SPSP) Batusangkar to the Cultural Preservation Centre (BPK) III Region West Sumatra. The temple site had previously received inadequate attention, both from the community and the local government, even though it marked the heritage of the Buddhist Malay Kingdom. The situation improved when the SPSP was established and began operations, leading to increased attention and conservation efforts for the Pulau Sawah temple complex through various stages. Through primary and secondary source research, the study found that the conservation of the Pulau Sawah temple complex has involved numerous stakeholders. Various local stakeholders, supported by the Batusangkar SPSP as the precursor to the BPK III, have played a crucial role in the preservation process. Preservation efforts are not limited to collection management but are also supported by the management of the organisational structure of the institution responsible for the site complex. Therefore, the preservation of the temple structures on Pulau Sawah, which, when examined closely, can evoke the identity of Dharmasraya, is of great value and should be passed on to future generations.

Abstract

This study focuses on the missionary movement of the Rhein Missionary Society (RMG) and its impact on the political and social dynamics of the Batak people. The RMG missionary movement, which began in the 19th century, became one of the key drivers in the spread of Christianity in the Toba Batak region. Additionally, the involvement of the missionary movement alongside the Dutch colonial government brought significant changes to the social life of the Batak people. Therefore, this article highlights the local social and political changes triggered by the Padri attacks, which also influenced the community's acceptance of Christianity. The historical method is used in this article to reveal various responses to Christian missions, ranging from traditional acceptance to integration into Christian traditions. This study also analyses how Dutch colonialism influenced the spread of Christianity, as well as the social, political, and cultural transformations that occurred. These findings offer a new perspective on the interaction between Christian missions, Batak customs, and colonialism in shaping the history of religion in the Batak region.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the adaptation strategies of farmers in a village on the slopes of Semeru, specifically in Wono Cepoko Ayu Village, Senduro District, Lumajang Regency, which has long been recognized as a coffee cultivation area, namely Kolesem (Kopi Lereng Semeru; Semeru Slope Coffee). In 2014, farmers preferred to plant Balsa Wood and then returned to planting coffee from 2018 to 2023. Therefore, this article analyzes three main issues, namely, the reasons why farmers easily switched from planting coffee to Balsa Wood in 2014, factors that encouraged them to return to planting coffee during 2018-2023, and the impact of the transition on farmer welfare. This study emphasizes the socio-historical aspect with an economic sociology approach, enhanced with rational theory, and applies historical methods. The results of the study show that the transition to Balsa Wood is driven by its high economic potential, which leads to an increase in farmer welfare, such as land purchases and house renovations. However, a virus outbreak in Balsa Wood forced farmers to return to coffee cultivation and adopt intercropping methods to support their economy. This situation highlights that such adaptation remains essential to support farmer welfare and underlines the importance of flexibility in dealing with economic changes and agricultural challenges.

Abstract

This article examines how majority-minority relations in Bali, Indonesia, have changed in the last decade, in the context of multiculturalism and multilingualism. It does so through a case study of the socio-cultural practices of minority Muslim migrants in a predominantly Hindu community in the village of Sumerta, which is part of Bali’s capital city of Denpasar. The study shows fresh evidence for the dynamic nature, issues and challenges of inter-ethnic/religious relations at the most local level, a matter of great significance in debates on cultural pluralism, multilingualism, tolerance and modern democracy on the broader national and global levels. Our discussion and analysis makes use of methodological and theoretical insights from socio-ethno-linguistics, in combination with history and cultural studies. We argue that the cultural-religious and social practices of the different ethnolinguistic groups in this village are based on culturally plural community interactions, where the different ethnic and religious groups remain separate. Intergroup relations, however, show positive forms of cultural and linguistic engagement, primarily symbolic in nature, and thus tend towards multilingualism as an indicator of multiculturalism.

Abstract

In 2019, researchers have successfully discovered thousands of ancient artefacts at the Bongal Site. The ancient artefacts found were identified as originating from India, China, and the Middle East. This research aims to describe how the process of developing historical tourism at the Bongal International Site using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D), which comprises three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. The research results successfully led to the creation of a prototype for historical tourism at the Bongal International Site, utilising Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technology. Artefacts that have been successfully created using AR/VR technology include Umayyah coins, Abbasid coins, cups, mini statues, and Amoghapasa statues. This research also succeeded in creating a 360o Virtual Tour application. The creation of AR/VR applications for the Bongal International Site is expected to enhance the site's landscape, making it more enjoyable and memorable for tourists.

Abstract

This article explains two types of land property rights in Indonesia's colonial civil law. It aims to find the reasons for today's legal disputes and suggest solutions. These issues started with two kinds of rights: Western civil property rights and indigenous property rights. The research uses a historical method with four steps: gathering information, analyzing it, understanding it, and rebuilding the history. The main sources are historical documents, focusing on their authenticity. The study finds that the colonial civil law had two types of land rights, each with its own rules and limits. This dual system came from unclear colonial policies about indigenous land ownership.

Abstract

Classical historiography is frequently recounted in an elitist manner, predominantly emphasizing the contributions of the masculine elite, such as men who ascended to kingship, without adequately considering the roles of individuals behind significant events, particularly the contributions of women. Consequently, there is a need for a revised perspective in the writing of classical history that acknowledges the significant roles of women during the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom era, thereby enabling Indonesian classical historiography to more accurately reflect human experiences. This study employs a feminist approach to examine classical history with a focus on the roles of women. The objective is to develop a new perspective in classical history by utilizing auxiliary theories to enhance historical narratives. The study employs historical research methods, including heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. Through the application of auxiliary approaches such as feminism, new insights have emerged, revealing that women made contributions in classical history that were equally significant as those of men. Notable examples include Gayatri Rajapatni, who played an intellectual role in the prosperity of the Majapahit Kingdom; Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, who maintained Majapahit's hegemony by successfully quelling the Sadeng and Këta rebellions during her reign; and Ratu Sima, whose wisdom was evident in her leadership of the Kalingga Kingdom. The findings of this research can be further explored through the development of additional classical historical research.

Abstract

This study departs from the strong social stigma attached to women involved in the performing arts during the colonial period in the Dutch East Indies. Within patriarchal and colonial moral constructions, female performers were often associated with deviance, sensuality, and transgressions of domestic norms. Although a number of studies have examined the careers of female artists or representations of women in colonial performing arts, systematic analyses tracing the historical transformation from stigma to professional legitimacy within the context of modern commercial theater remain limited. Employing the historical method, this study demonstrates how women negotiated their positions from marginalized and denigrated figures to central actors on the theatrical stage. The findings show that the modernization of commercial theater (through managerial, aesthetic, and production innovations) introduced by groups such as Miss Riboet’s Orion and Dardanella fostered the emergence of a more professional and competitive performance arena. Business competition and agendas of artistic renewal strengthened women’s positions as leading figures in theatrical productions. As modern theater developed, women who had previously been regarded as low-status entertainment workers gained public recognition as stage stars and symbols of prestige. Women’s images thus shifted from objects of stigma to respected professional subjects within the colonial performing arts industry.Keywords: women, commercial theater, stigma, primadonna, Dutch East Indies, performing entertainment, toneel.

Abstract

This article examines the political impact of ethnic spatial planning implemented by the Dutch Colonial government on the existence of the Tapanuli Residency in the Onder Afdeling Pakpak Landen from 1842 to 1942. This study employs the historical method, which includes the heuristic, criticism, interpretation, and historiography stages, and is supported by a sociological approach to analyze social structure and changes. The results show that the establishment of the Tapanuli Residency, as a concrete manifestation of colonial ethnic spatial planning policy, was deliberately designed to divide, separate, and weaken the power of ethnic groups to make them easier to monitor and control. This penetration policy resulted in the fragmentation of the territory of Tanoh Pakpak, which was originally a unified cultural and customary entity based on clan land ownership, into five customary regions (Pakpak Silima Suak). As a result of this ethnic spatial arrangement, the customary territory of Pakpak Silima Suak experienced a highly significant reduction and was administratively split into three different residencies. The Kelasen region was integrated into Batak Landen, Tongging into the East Sumatra Residency, and Boang into Singkil in the Aceh Residency. This fragmentation left the Onder Afdeling Pakpak Landen area consisting of only three suak, namely Suak Pegagan, Suak Keppas, and Suak Simsim. The political impact of this ethnic spatial policy not only weakened the political existence of the Pakpak people at the local level but also degraded their traditional leadership system. The abolition of customary leaders' roles such as the takal aur and pertaki, replaced by the colonial bureaucracy, ultimately threatened the existence of the Pakpak people and triggered deep social, cultural, and economic marginalization in their own ancestral land
