Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the Ramayana reliefs at Panataran Temple into comic book form using a practice-based research approach. The focus of the study is to transform the reliefs into a comic book format while retaining the original narrative and visual elements of the reliefs in an effort to preserve their original cultural meaning. The methods used include iconographic analysis, character design, panel composition, color symbolism, and story structure. The results of the research are comics that integrate narrative and relief visuals, providing a new aesthetic experience for readers. The research contributes to the understanding of cultural representation through popular media, where comics are able to present attractive visual narratives of the Ramayana relief as a medium for preserving the culture of the archipelago.

Abstract

The ongoing debate surrounding patet theory in Sundanese karawitan reveals a clear divergence in epistemic perspectives between formal music education and artistic practice. Within academic settings, patet is positioned as a theoretical foundation for performing the pelog-salendro gamelan system. However, many practitioners argue that the concept does not manifest explicitly in lived musical practice. This study re-examines the theoretical construction of patetthrough an ethnomusicological lens, drawing on practice theory (Bourdieu; Reckwitz) and the concept of embodied musical knowledge (Brinner; McKerrell). Findings demonstrate significant differences regarding nada pangaget and pancer: academics tend to codify both as fixed elements, whereas artists interpret them relationally, guided by musical intuition and performative context. The analysis confirms that patet continues to shape tonal orientation, dominant tones, and affective musical space. This study argues that patet should be understood as a dual concept, normative in academic discourse yet flexible in artistic practice, bridging theoretical frameworks and Sundanese karawitan performance.

Abstract

This study examines the design of zines as a collaborative medium for preserving the social and cultural values of the Cikondang Traditional Village in Bandung Regency, Indonesia, which only depends on oral transmission of knowledge by the customary leader. Using a qualitative study method and framed by Designerly Activity Theory (DAT), the study collected data through field observations, interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The study identifies key elements of the Designerly Activity Theory (DAT), including subjects and collective subjects, objects in context, tools and signs, rules and design criteria, community and imagined community, and division of labor and process. The urgency of this study lies in developing a zine through a collective and collaborative design system within the context of an indigenous community. The findings indicate that designing zines in indigenous contexts requires heightened attention to community collaboration, the active participation of customary leaders, sensitivity to local ethical and cultural norms, and adherence to community-based design criteria. The study’s primary contribution is the articulation of a systematic design framework that situates zine-making beyond personal expression, foregrounding collaborative, collective, and sociocultural dimensions in the design process. The study contributes to the discourse on participatory and cultural design by positioning Designerly Activity Theory as a critical, analytical, and methodological framework for understanding design as a collaborative, reflective, and culturally embedded activity.

Abstract

The growth of contemporary music videos and performance art has encouraged the use of musical instruments as both sound sources and strong visual symbols. Existing studies on interdisciplinary performance discuss collaborations between musicians and visual artists, but rarely examine weapon-shaped hybrid instruments as integrated sound–visual media that must maintain artistic integrity. This article analyses how artistic creative integrity is achieved in the design and use of Alutista, a series of weapon-shaped hybrid musical instruments created by Nanang Garuda for Indonesian music videos and contemporary performances. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach combining visual observation, content analysis of 24 Alutista instruments documented on social media and performance videos, and thematic coding of form, sonic function, and performative role; in this study, artistic creative integrity is operationalized as the alignment between conceptual intention, visual design, and musical–performative function. The analysis identifies three main patterns of integrity: the symbolic transformation of weapons into instruments of peace; the interdependence between industrial visual aesthetics and metallic timbre; and the choreography of performers’ bodies with the instruments, which produces multisensory narratives that bind sound, image, and gesture into a single composition. Theoretically, the study extends debates on artistic integrity and experimental instrument design by proposing weapon-shaped hybrid instruments as cross-media objects that merge material ecology, symbolism, and performance; practically, it offers a design and staging model for artists and directors who seek to develop music videos and performances that balance visual spectacle with coherent sonic and conceptual expression.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of linguistic hybridity between Javanese and Bahasa Indonesia in contemporary Javanese songs. It aims to identify the linguistic forms, aesthetic and cultural functions, and the evolving patterns of language use that distinguish traditional from modern song compositions. Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in a literature-based approach, the research analyses selected Javanese song lyrics that demonstrate hybrid linguistic structures. The findings reveal three major forms of hybridity at the levels of words, phrases, and clauses or sentences. These hybrid forms serve multiple functions: (1) aesthetic, through rhymic and phonetic harmony; (2) expressive, through creative expressions unattainable within a single language; and (3) cultural identity, by reinforcing Javanese characteristics amid the influence of Bahasa Indonesia. Comparison between traditional macapat compositions and contemporary songs highlights a shift from strict monolingual use to flexible bilingual creativity, reflecting an ongoing negotiation of cultural identity in an era of modernisation and globalisation. This study enriches the understanding of how linguistic hybridity contributes to the preservation and evolution of Javanese artistic expression.

Abstract

This study examines Gondang Burogong in the Pasir Pengaraian community by analyzing the denotative and connotative meanings embedded in its musical practices and socio-cultural context. The background of this research stems from concerns about shifts in the meaning of traditional music due to social change and technological development, which have the potential to reduce the local values contained within it. The purpose of this study is to reveal the denotative meaning of Gondang Burogong as a musical structure and practice, as well as its connotative meanings formed through situational contexts and analogies in the lives of the supporting community. The research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews with artists and traditional leaders, and analysis of musical texts and practices. The findings indicate that, denotatively, Gondang Burogongfunctions as an accompaniment for ritual activities and traditional entertainment with distinctive musical patterns. Connotatively, this music represents values of togetherness, balance, and social order, which are interpreted situationally and analogically by the Pasir Pengaraian community. This study contributes to the enrichment of ethnomusicological and musical semiotic studies by offering a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between musical texts and cultural meaning, and it has implications for efforts to preserve and revitalize traditional music based on local interpretations.
