Abstract

Madihin is a traditional Banjarese oral performance art that combines rhythmic improvisation, poetic verses, humor, and the beating of the tarbang (frame drum). More than mere entertainment, Madihin historically functioned as a medium of advice, social commentary, and community bonding. However, in the context of modernization and globalization, both its functions and modes of presentation have been reshaped. This study aims to analyze the continuity and transformation of Madihin by focusing on its changing functions, performance forms, and cultural significance in contemporary society. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with prominent pamadihinan (performers), field observations, and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that Madihin has shifted from its traditional role as a vehicle of moral counsel and communal entertainment to a more diverse medium encompassing education, tourism promotion, and even political communication. Performance innovations such as Madihin hip-hop and Madihin dangdut illustrate how this oral tradition adapts to popular cultural trends while preserving its improvisational core and symbolic values. At the same time, the challenges of regeneration among younger generations highlight the fragile continuity of this art. This research demonstrates that the sustainability of Madihin relies on its capacity for innovation without losing its cultural identity, offering broader insight into how oral performance traditions negotiate relevance, identity, and authenticity in the face of social and cultural change.

Abstract

Gending “Sungsang” is one of the gending sekar ageng commonly performed in Sundanese wayang golek purwa productions. It is typically presented at the beginning of the performance, earning its designation as gending jejer ngawitan. This study aims to examine the presentational form of gending “Sungsang” within the wayang golek purwa context, while also analyzing its musical composition and its functional role within the overall dramaturgical structure of the performance. The research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis. The findings reveal that gending “Sungsang” demonstrates notable flexibility in its structural presentation. Its distinctiveness lies in its two-goongan structure, which has long served as a defining characteristic of this piece. Initially, the gending functioned exclusively as an accompaniment for murwa or the dalang’s haleuang. However, its usage has since expanded, and it is now also performed to accompany wayang dance or ibingan. Consequently, gending “Sungsang” fulfills multiple functions as a gending jejer ngawitan acting as the musical prelude to the performance, the accompaniment for the movement of the kayon/gunungan, the dance sequences, and the dalang’s murwa. These variations in presentation enrich the artistic landscape of Sundanese padalangan. Therefore, it is essential for artists and scholars to continue exploring this gending through research that further investigates its specific musical and performative dimensions.

Abstract

Bedhaya Gandrungmanis is one of the Bedhaya dance which created in 19th century during Pakubuwana VIII reign in Keraton Surakarta. This dance narrated Panji Jayakusuma text which symbolize political chaos in 19th century Keraton Surakarta. The dance itself could be represent how Panji roman used by Keraton Surakarta to construct the idea of Javanese kingship. This research tries to put forward and understanding Bedhaya Gandrungmanis, which had been fragmented and lost, based on manuscript and oral tradition. This research uses an ethno-philological method which integrate philological research in anthropological perspectives. Data collecting technique includes collecting philological data on manuscript research in Keraton Surakarta Library, Universitas Indonesia Library, and Pura Mangkunegaran Library, and also collecting ethnographic data by interview, field research, and observation. The earliest version of Bedhaya Gandrungmanis interpreted as symbol of royal succession. In the last version from the 20th century, Bedhaya Gandrungmanis re-interpreted in more romantic terms and lost its political resonance. Panji story in this dance comes from Panji Jayakusuma story that formed by Pakubuwana VIII to symbolize cultural change in the 19th century during the Dutch Colonial era. Its meaning had been shifted and fragmented as a result of these cultural changes.

Abstract

The Sundanese Kacapi Siter exhibits distinctive microtonal characteristics and acoustic phenomena requiring objective documentation. This study integrates high-fidelity audio recording with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis to examine the microtonal properties of the Pelog Sunda tuning system and the missing fundamental phenomenon in this traditional instrument. Using Practice-Led Research methodology, we recorded 20 single-note samples with a Neumann TLM 103 condenser microphone in natural reflective classroom conditions, analyzing them through SPAN FFT spectral analysis and cent deviation calculations against 12-TET standards. Results demonstrate systematic microtonality with deviations ranging from -15 to +28 cents, with note "Ti" consistently sharp (+17 to +28 cents) and note "Na" consistently flat (-5 to -13 cents) across octaves (p<0.001, effect size d=2.4). Spectral analysis reveals a missing fundamental phenomenon in low-register notes (La 4: 58.2 Hz, Ti 4: 66.5 Hz), where harmonics dominate perceived pitch despite weak fundamental-frequency energy (-14.3 to -8.9 dBFS fundamental vs. -6.2 to -4.1 dBFS second harmonic). These findings provide quantitative evidence that Sundanese tuning represents a structured non-Western pitch system with intentional microtonal design, advancing computational ethnomusicology through objective acoustic documentation methods that enable preservation, comparative analysis, and technological applications in digital instrument development.

Abstract

Food documentaries have become influential tools for cultural representation on streaming platforms, yet little is known about how they construct culinary authenticity and engage viewers psychologically. This paper examines how Netflix's Flavorful Origins uses persuasive visual strategies to communicate culinary desire while representing regional Chinese cuisines. Three episodes ("Mutton," "Noodles," and "Potato") were analyzed using Bordwell and Thompson's continuity editing framework and Barthesian visual semiotics to identify patterns in cinematography and narrative sequencing. The analysis reveals three key persuasive mechanisms: geographic anchoring (establishing cultural authenticity through location), sensory choreography (using close-up shots to stimulate embodied responses), and temporal scripting (sequencing traditions within modern narratives). Results show that 78% of frames emphasize material close-ups, creating a visual syntax that fetishizes ingredients while activating viewers' sensory engagement. However, a tension emerges between the series' claims to traditional authenticity and its use of commercial food-media aesthetics, including hyper-color grading and standardized editing patterns. The paper argues that Flavorful Origins practices "culinary nationalism" by packaging regional cuisines as both ethnographically authentic and globally consumable. This study contributes to food media studies by demonstrating how streaming platforms use continuity editing as psychological persuasion, transforming cultural documentation into desire cultivation and revealing the commodification of authenticity in digital gastronomy.

Abstract

Digital transformation has reshaped the ways in which culture is transmitted, including Riau Malay Dance, which is currently facing a decline in interest among younger generations and the dominance of popular culture. At the same time, social media platforms such as TikTok have developed into informal learning spaces that are closely integrated with the everyday lives of adolescents. This study emerges from the gap between, on the one hand, the threat of fading interest in Riau Malay Dance and, on the other hand, the limited number of studies that specifically examine TikTok as a medium for the preservation and learning of traditional dance in informal community settings. This research employs a qualitative method with a digital ethnography approach through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of TikTok content related to Riau Malay Dance. The findings indicate that TikTok functions as a participatory learning space that facilitates processes of observation, imitation, and movement modeling, fosters intergenerational learning communities, and archives dance in digital format through tutorial content, performances, and creative reinterpretations. However, several challenges arise, including the commodification of culture, superficial cultural understanding, gaps in digital literacy, and algorithmic bias toward popular content. Scientifically, this study offers a renewed understanding of digital cultural transmission and underscores the importance of digital cultural literacy strategies and content standards to balance media innovation with the authenticity of Riau Malay Dance in the global era.

Abstract

Javanese culture maintains a profound relationship with mysticism, including beliefs in plants considered to possess tuah (spiritual potency). Javanese karawitan, as a cultural expression, also contains symbolic layers shaped by these mystical worldviews. This study examines how such beliefs manifest in the titles, symbolic atmospheres, and performative behaviors associated with selected gendhings that reference or imply spiritually potent plants. Using a qualitative descriptive method and a phenomenological approach grounded in Javanese cultural mysticism, the research integrates musical-text analysis, cosmological symbol interpretation, and interviews with practitioners to clarify how each method contributes to the findings. Textual analysis identifies plant-related symbolic markers; phenomenological interpretation reveals how performers internalize these symbols; interviews explain the cultural logic linking plant potency with specific performative behaviors. The findings show that beliefs in spiritually potent plants function not merely as a cosmological background but as active determinants of performative intention, aesthetic atmosphere, and interpretive meaning within the examined repertoire. This study offers a new contribution by demonstrating that the concept of tuah operates as a metaphysical structure influencing both musical creation and performance. Unlike previous studies, it identifies a direct relationship between sacred-plant symbolism and its concrete manifestation in Javanese karawitan.

Abstract

The Acehnese wedding stage has undergone changes in terms of shape and decoration, which is also accompanied by a shift in its function. This research aims to explore the shifting functions of the Acehnese wedding stage, which is typically used during wedding receptions but is now also employed in several traditional events, serving as an educational medium. The method used in this research is a descriptive-analytical approach with a qualitative orientation. Research data were collected through in-depth interviews with auction business owners and traditional leaders, observation of Acehnese wedding ceremonies, and documentary studies. Data were analyzed through the stages of reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusion drawing. The research findings identified that there are three main functions of Acehnese wedding stages: first, as a reinforcement of cultural identity in rituals such as circumcision and seven months of pregnancy; second, as a socio-political representation that symbolizes local pride in welcoming guests of honor and other public contexts; and third, as an educational instrument in museums and tourism settings for cultural preservation and transmission. The findings highlight Aceh's cultural resilience by positioning the wedding stage not       only as a passive visual culture but as an active medium that adapts to contemporary realities. These findings form the basis of recommendations for policymakers in designing cultural preservation strategies that are adaptive and contribute significantly to the survival of traditional cultural heritage for future generations.

Abstract

MSMEs often struggle to build consistent, authentic, and competitive brand identities, especially within culturally rich local contexts. The primary issue is the limitation of branding strategies that fail to adequately represent local identity and are less responsive to audience needs. This research addresses this gap by aiming to design and evaluate the application of the local responsive design (LRD) method on the culinary MSME OppaBay to strengthen its brand differentiation and competitiveness. The methodology employs a qualitative approach through observation, interviews with the business owner, and questionnaire-based evaluations involving design experts and partners/clients. The study introduces LRD as a novel framework integrating local aesthetic, linguistic, and cultural elements  into MSME branding. The results demonstrate that LRD successfully produced a consistent visual identity, an authentic, culturally based narrative, and brand communication that is familiar and audience-relevant. Expert evaluation confirmed the design's suitability with principles of visual communication, aesthetics, and cultural branding. Concurrently, partners found the design practical, easy to implement, and supportive of improving professional image and consumer trust. The conclusion confirms that LRD provides both theoretical utility, enriching the study of local branding, and significant practical value for small business sustainability. Future research should focus on strengthening culture-based digital storytelling and measuring the relationship between cultural branding and consumer loyalty.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical and theological functions of musical inculturation in Catholic faith education. Drawing on post–Vatican II principles of contextual liturgy, the research analyzes how Javanese musical elements, particularly gamelan textures and macapat melodic patterns are integrated into Catholic worship to support cognitive comprehension, affective engagement, and active congregational participation. Using a qualitative design involving in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, the study employs thematic analysis to identify how inculturated music shapes faith formation. The findings show that inculturated musical practices enhance three measurable dimensions of faith education: (1) cognitive understanding, demonstrated by clearer grasp of liturgical texts expressed in culturally familiar musical forms; (2) affective devotion, indicated by heightened emotional resonance and spiritual focus during worship; and (3) participatory involvement, reflected in increased vocal and embodied participation of congregants. The study also identifies a persistent tension between maintaining universal liturgical norms and embracing local cultural expressions, revealing an ongoing negotiation between ecclesial identity and Javanese cultural values. The novelty of this research lies in demonstrating that musical inculturation functions as a form of nonverbal religious pedagogy, simultaneously strengthening Catholic doctrinal understanding and affirming local cultural identity. This contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in theology, pedagogy, and ethnomusicology by offering an empirically grounded model of how liturgical music can operate as an effective medium for contextual faith education.
