Abstract

This research aims to describe the symbolic narrative of animalistic metaphors in Indonesian contemporary painting as a medium of criticism of the socio-political dynamics in Indonesia. The method used in this research is qualitative with Paul Recouer's Hermeneutic approach that interprets animalistic symbols through layers of literal meaning. The data in the research shows the meaning of the animalistic metaphor in painting that presents visual symbols resulting from the creative expression of artists, including Djoko Pekik, Gatot Indrajati, and Suraji. The animalistic metaphor in Indonesian contemporary painting is one of the symbolic aspects of the similarity of human nature or political rulers with the nature of animals that are considered to have savage, wild, greedy and have no conscience. Each artist has his own way of delivering criticism through painting by using historical dramatization, humor, and satire. The animalistic metaphors in these works are coupled with the selection of titles that lead to a parody. The animalistic metaphor is told visually narrative, expressing the artist's expression of anxiety and criticism that is able to bridge the aesthetic experience and critical reflection on the reality of Indonesia's current socio-political condition.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji gaya arsitektur Istana Asserayah Al-Hasyimiah (Istana Siak) menggunakan pendekatan semiotika pragmatik. Dibangun antara tahun 1890 hingga 1899, istana ini menggabungkan arsitektur lokal Melayu dengan pengaruh gaya Indische Empire dan neo-klasik. Melalui observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumen, ditemukan bahwa tata ruang simetris istana mencerminkan harmoni budaya Melayu, sementara elemen seperti lengkung lancip, lengkung tapal kuda, dan desain berbentuk perahu memiliki makna simbolis. Lengkung lancip melambangkan spiritualitas Islam, lengkung tapal kuda mencerminkan modernitas dan keterhubungan, sedangkan bentuk perahu melambangkan perjalanan hidup manusia. Posisi istana yang menghadap Sungai Siak mencerminkan kepercayaan kosmologis masyarakat Melayu tentang hubungan antara manusia, alam, dan Tuhan. Selain keindahan arsitekturnya, Istana Siak juga berfungsi sebagai pusat pemerintahan, kebudayaan, dan tempat tinggal keluarga kerajaan. Penggunaan material lokal seperti kayu solid menegaskan identitas Melayu sekaligus memberikan kenyamanan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Istana Siak bukan hanya bangunan fungsional, tetapi juga simbol budaya yang kaya akan nilai sejarah dan makna. Penelitian lanjutan disarankan menggunakan teknologi digital atau membandingkan dengan bangunan serupa untuk memahami lebih jauh dinamika arsitektur transisi di Indonesi.

Abstract

The bustier is a women’s upper garment designed with a tight fit to conform to the body’s contours, particularly around the bust, waist, and hips. Historically, the bustier was originally used as an undergarment; however, along with the evolution of fashion trends, its design has been modified so that it can also be worn as outerwear, serving to shape the body silhouette for a more proportional appearance. The accuracy of the pattern, sewing technique, and material selection are crucial elements that influence the quality of the final bustier product. Among the fabric characteristics that significantly affect garment construction, fabric thickness is a key factor. The research aimed to analyze the differences in bustier outcomes made using satin fabrics of different thickness levels—emerald satin (thin), Roberto satin (medium), and bridal satin (thick)—employing the Helen Joseph Armstrong pattern on a mannequin of size M. The methodological approach adopted was experimental, with the independent variable being the thickness of the satin fabric and the dependent variable being the quality of the bustier result. Data were collected through observation sheets evaluated by three expert designers and seventeen trained panelists. The data analysis technique applied involved hypothesis testing using the K-Related test. The findings revealed that the thickness of the satin fabric significantly affects the quality of the bustier. The bustier made from bridal satin achieved the highest average score, namely 84.45% (categorized as very good). Therefore, it can be concluded that the thicker the satin fabric structure, the better the quality of the final bustier result

Abstract

Migrasi Magis is a research-based dance creation that reinterprets the Sijundai magical phenomenon in Minangkabau culture. The ritual involves the use of spells and saluang music believed to possess supernatural power that psychologically and physically affects victims. Through observation, exploration, improvisation, formation, and evaluation, the artist transforms elements of space, time, energy, and property into visual symbols of the spell’s potency. The reinterpretation approach transforms this spiritual practice into an artistic expression through dance theatre, marked by dramatic tension, symbolism, and emotional intensity. The work embodies magical aesthetics derived from traditional rituals while portraying human desires, vengeance, and remorse. Migrasi Magis demonstrates how dance serves as a reflective space for social, spiritual, and psychological phenomena within Minangkabau society. Field data were collected through interviews with shamans, performance observations, and literature review, strengthening conceptual validity, aesthetic choices, and cultural context. This work illustrates that performing arts can negotiate tradition and modernity through contextual artistic interpretation

Abstract

This study examines forms of resistance to patriarchy in Minangkabau-themed cinema through an analysis of two films, Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck and Surau dan Silek. Although Minangkabau society is widely recognized for its matrilineal kinship system, social practices and cinematic representations continue to reflect strong patriarchal values, particularly in regulating gender relations, marriage, and female honor. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using film text analysis, visual observation, and literature review. The analysis is grounded in Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and feminist film theory, with particular attention to patriarchy and the concept of the male gaze. The findings indicate that women’s resistance in Minangkabau cinema is rarely portrayed in overt or confrontational forms; instead, it emerges through symbolic, emotional, and moral expressions embedded in narrative structures, characterization, and visual strategies. Women are represented as ethical subjects who negotiate their identities amid the pressures of tradition, religion, and modernity. Consequently, Minangkabau cinema functions as a cultural space that both reflects and critiques the paradox between matrilineal ideology and patriarchal practice within Minangkabau society.
