Abstract

This paper examines the role of keroncong music as a medium for building and strengthening the values of patriotism, nationalism, and diversity harmony in Indonesia. Keroncong music, which was first introduced by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century, underwent a process of acculturation until it became an integral part of Indonesian cultural identity. During the colonial period, this genre of music was used as a symbolic tool of resistance that ignited the spirit of struggle and nationalism. With its touching lyrics and melodious tunes, keroncong became a means for the Indonesian people to express their love for their homeland and national identity. Songs such as “Bengawan Solo,” “Melati di Tapal Batas,” and “Rayuan Pulau Kelapa” became powerful symbols of patriotism and played an important role in the Indonesian independence movement. Postcolonial literary criticism was applied to understand how colonial and nationalist elements interacted in keroncong music, as well as how keroncong helped reconstruct postcolonial national identity in Indonesia. The results of the study show that keroncong music not only serves as entertainment but also as a symbol of struggle that reflects Indonesia's national identity. As an adaptive form of music, keroncong has successfully maintained its relevance by incorporating local elements and themes that reflect Indonesia's socio-political dynamics. In its lyrics, keroncong conveys messages rich in national values and diversity, capable of embracing all layers of Indonesian society, from various ethnicities, religions, and social backgrounds. The value of patriotism in keroncong music emerges through themes of struggle, love for the homeland, and pride as an independent nation. Nationalism in keroncong is further strengthened by the use of local language and idioms, as well as the incorporation of traditional cultural elements deeply rooted in Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the fundamental differences between folklore and history, as well as how both contribute to the understanding of collective identity and cultural heritage in Indonesia. This research is significant given the relatively recent development of folklore as an independent academic discipline in Indonesia and the need to conceptually distinguish it from scientific historiography. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and field observations at cultural heritage sites such as Patilasan Dipatiukur and Prabu Siliwangi. The data analysis applies an interpretive method to explore narratives and cultural symbols embedded in both folklore and historical artifacts. The findings reveal that although folklore does not rely on empirical evidence like history, it holds essential value as a collective reflection of community experiences, imagination, and aspirations. In contrast, history requires verifiable sources as its foundation. These findings underscore the importance of preserving both as integral parts of the nation’s collective memory. The study implies the need for a synergistic approach that combines folkloristic and historiographical perspectives in education and cultural preservation. The originality of this research lies in its integrated approach, combining narrative analysis with the exploration of historical sites to trace the interconnection between collective memory, myth, and historical fact within the context of contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Islam is an open religion in the fields of science and culture, accommodating yet selective. Islam accepts science and culture that are in line with and do not contradict Islamic principles. Various cultures and customs inherited from ancestors have developed and assimilated with Islamic teachings. Local cultural wisdom must be preserved and maintained as long as it does not conflict with Islamic law. This study aims to identify Sundanese culture that contains religious and cultural values that are worth preserving from an Islamic perspective. The culture of a region is a reflection of that region's unique characteristics. Sundanese culture is known for its strong moral, spiritual, and humanitarian values, although there are negative elements that need to be filtered out. Cultural heritage such as Wayang Golek and Gembyung contain profound Islamic teachings and are still preserved by the community as a means of drawing closer to Allah SWT. The culture and customs practiced have high educational and religious value. Key Words: Culture, Islam, Sunda, Gembyung, Wayang Golek

Abstract

This study examines the acculturation of agrarian traditions, particularly the Seren Taun ceremony, in the villages of Bojongsari and Sukamaju, Nyalindung District, Sukabumi, between 1986 and 2024. The Seren Taun ceremony, a harvest celebration, has historically been found in traditional villages such as Kanekes Baduy and Ciptagelar. However, interestingly, this tradition also persists in rural villages such as Bojongsari and Sukamaju, albeit with significant differences due to socio-cultural and religious acculturation. The main objective of this study is to analyze the contents of the traditional “Ririmbon Panen” guidebook found in both villages and to identify the forms of acculturation that influence agricultural practices and religious rituals. Using a qualitative approach, this research involves field methods (observation, interviews, documentation) and philology to edit and translate the texts, supplemented by content analysis to reveal the values contained therein. The results of the study show that the Seren Taun tradition in Bojongsari and Sukamaju, known as “Meteumeuyan,” has undergone profound acculturation with Islamic teachings. This transformation is evident in the replacement of amulets with prayers from the Qur'an and the use of the Islamic calendar in determining harvest times. Although pre-Islamic elements such as offerings and incense burning have been eliminated, other aspects such as calculating auspicious/inauspicious days and wind direction have been retained. In addition, the community still respects Monday as “Nyi Pohaci Day,” when rice processing activities are stopped. The Seren Taun ceremony in these two villages represents a concrete example of cultural acculturation in Indonesian agrarian communities, where indigenous traditions adapt to Islamic thinking, creating a unique blend that enriches cultural meaning without losing its essence. Keywords: Agrarian, Acculturation, Seren Taun, Islam, Sunda.
