Abstract

Natural dyes can promote environmental sustainability while offering a unique and attractive aesthetic. This approach enhances the appeal of textile products, adding value and creating a competitive advantage in the creative and fashion industries. Indigo from Strobilanthes cusia is a well-known natural dye primarily used by textile artisans and designers to create vibrant indigo-colored fabrics. In surface textile design, there is potential to modify indigo solutions into a paste, which can be used to create motifs on fabric through block printing techniques. The research aims to develop an optimal indigo paste formula for block printing and to examine the application of natural dyes on fabric. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, collecting data from literature reviews, direct observations, social media analysis, and experimental work. During the experimental phase, block printing techniques are applied using different paste formulas on various fabric types to assess the optimal viscosity and fixation methods of the paste. The findings indicate that the natural dye derived from the indigo paste of Strobilanthes cusia yields an effective formula for block printing, particularly in terms of motif sharpness and color durability. The optimal composition was found to be 10 g of paste mixed with 5 mL of water, resulting in a viscosity value of 191 mPa·s. These findings can inspire the development of more sustainable textile products and expand the use of natural dyes across various textile printing techniques, potentially leading to innovative fashion products.

Abstract

Tanjung Puting National Park (TNTP) in Central Kalimantan is an internationally recognized ecotourism destination that significantly contributes to national revenue and plays a crucial role in shaping regional socioeconomic development. This research examines the role of sociopreneurship in promoting the economic sustainability of rural communities through ecotourism development, focusing on Bahaur Village and Pembuang Hulu I Village, both of which maintain a direct connection to the TNTP area. A qualitative case study approach is employed, combining participant observation, in-depth interviews with ten key informants (including village heads, secretaries, freshwater fish farming group leaders, and community figures), and an analysis of village deliberation documents. Data analysis follows three main stages—intuition, analysis, and description—supported by a SWOT framework to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. To ensure data validity, triangulation is applied by comparing and cross-verifying information from interviews, observations, and documents to identify consistent patterns and reduce potential bias. The findings indicate that although ecotourism has the potential to increase local income, it has not yet effectively strengthened community-based business development. The primary challenges include weak infrastructure, limited training opportunities, and inadequate marketing strategies, which have compelled some residents to revert to environmentally harmful economic activities. The implications underscore the need for strategic planning, capacity building, mentoring, market access facilitation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to diversify the local economy and sustain community enterprises within conservation areas.

Abstract

The market identity for menswear is undergoing a significant transformation toward a more diverse and inclusive range of options, primarily due to the rise of gender-fluid fashion. Research indicates that menswear evolves to offer a greater variety of gender-fluid and diverse clothing choices for the average male consumer, reflecting a shift in fashion consumption and expressions of masculinity. Notable trends reshaping the fashion landscape include the embrace of gender-flexible fashion and the rejection of toxic masculinity among Generation Z (Gen Z) men. The research aims to explore the trend of gender fluidity in contemporary menswear through a Deleuzian lens. It focuses on applying the theory of the senses and the concept of “becoming” based on the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The analysis centers around a fashion design project titled Soul Equilibrium, which serves as the case study. Deleuzian theory is employed to examine the relationship between trend fluidity and changes in gender performativity as expressed through fashion. Qualitative data are gathered through observations, interviews, and literature reviews, with respondents selected through purposive sampling. These respondents include experts and individuals actively engaged in fashion. Key findings reveal that the intersection of gender-fluid fashion and performativity fosters a dynamic relationship among fashion, identity, and societal norms. Gender-fluid fashion emerges as a significant indicator of changing gender performativity in society. The concept of gender performativity highlights how individuals actively construct their gender identity through behavior and self-expression. The results of the research advocate for greater social acceptance and inclusivity within society.

Abstract

The interaction between Chinese cultural values and Balinese traditions significantly influences Balinese painting, resulting in a unique artistic identity that merges visual forms and aesthetic ideas. This article examines how Chinese cultural values influence the evolution of traditional Balinese painting, with a focus on the processes of cultural adaptation and transformation. The aim is to identify and analyze how Chinese elements integrate into Balinese visual art while preserving local traditions. A qualitative research method is employed, combining a historical approach with a visual analysis of selected artworks. The research highlights various Chinese cultural influences, including the Yin-Yang philosophy, cosmological concepts, and visual motifs such as dragons, Barong Landung, Barong Ket, Chinese coins, Nekara Pejeng, Karang Sae, and Chinese-inspired patra decorations. It also examines coloring techniques, tools, and art materials that originate from or are inspired by Chinese practices. The findings indicate that Balinese artists creatively incorporate these elements through acculturation, blending them with local forms, colors, and symbols. Rather than being a passive adoption, this process results in a dynamic transformation that enriches the aesthetic and symbolic language of Balinese painting. The originality of the research lies in its systematic analysis of Chinese contributions to the visual and technical aspects of Balinese art, which are often overlooked in existing literature. The research enhances the understanding of cultural hybridity in Southeast Asian art and provides a valuable framework for studying cross-cultural influences in traditional artistic practices.

Abstract

In Sundanese karawitan, the concept of wilet holds a central role as it defines the temporal and rhythmic framework of gending compositions. Several hierarchical levels of wilet exist, namely sawilet, dua wilet, and opat wilet, each indicating variations in the number of beats, tempo, and the span of time between goongan. This research seeks to investigate the temporal-rhythmic structure of Sundanese karawitan by analyzing these levels of wilet and their application across different gending forms. Employing a descriptive-analytical design with a musicological perspective, the study draws on data from a literature review, performance observations, and musical transcription analysis. The findings reveal that the gradations of wilet not only determine the duration between goongan but also shape the overall tempo and rhythmic nuances of the music. Moreover, kendangan techniques such as salancar and rangkep significantly contribute to establishing the musical character and rhythmic articulation that distinguish one wilet level from another. The study underscores that wilet in Sundanese karawitan should be understood as a dynamic and context-dependent musical structure shaped by performer interpretation, compositional form, and cultural practice rather than a mere metric system. A deeper understanding of wilet is thus essential for pedagogy, documentation, and the safeguarding of Sundanese karawitan, while also opening avenues for future inquiries into the interrelation of musical aesthetics, instrumental technique, and performance practice.

Abstract

Women in the fisheries sector serve as vital pillars of production, reproduction, and social cohesion. Despite their vital roles in production and social cohesion, women fishers face systemic exclusion and marginalization within a patriarchal maritime framework that fails to recognize them as legal subjects under Law No. 7 of 2016. This research employs a normative legal analysis, integrated with Feminist Legal Theory and Amy G. Mazur's Feminist Policy Analysis, to scrutinize the gendered substantive gaps in the legislation. The study reveals that the law's gender-blind definition of "fisherfolk" results in indirect discrimination by adopting male-centric standards, which effectively strips women of their identity and obstructs their access to state protection and fundamental rights. Beyond mere regulatory failure, this study utilizes a humanities-based legal analysis to conclude that the law ignores the lived experiences, cultural narratives, and socio-historical presence of women in maritime life. Consequently, this research contributes to the field by advocating for a reframing of legal recognition through a holistic and inclusive modification of statutory definitions to ensure substantive justice for all individuals with respect to fish resources, independent of gendered assumptions. By deconstructing gendered assumptions, this study seeks to transform the law into a site of substantive justice that honors the intersectional reality of maritime communities, ensuring state protection is no longer a gendered privilege.

Abstract

Indonesian original series produced for over-the-top (OTT) platforms increasingly rely on cinematic camera mobility. However, scholarship has rarely clarified how camera movement operates as a recurring directorial style in Indonesian OTT originals, particularly when its functions are specified systematically. This article addresses this gap through a qualitative two-case study of Little Mom (2021) and Zona Merah (2024). The analysis is conducted within Bordwell's poetics-of-cinema approach. It is anchored in Nielsen's five functions of camera movement (orienting, inflectional, rhythmic, reflexive, and abstract), which are applied to selected key scenes where camera movement is formally salient. Data were generated through repeated scene observation, interviews with key creators, and document and literature review. Findings indicate that each series develops a patterned movement signature. In Little Mom, sustained drift and crab movement, together with follow-orbit mobility, recur as a stylistic strategy that modulates melodramatic affect. At narrative peaks, CGI-assisted traversal and compositing extend movement possibilities and cue a limited reflexive awareness of the image’s constructedness. In Zona Merah, one-shot handheld traversal is combined with follow-and-scan pans and whip-pan impact beats to maintain spatial orientation under threat while intensifying sensory tension. Across both cases, orienting, inflectional, rhythmic, and reflexive functions recur most consistently, whereas the abstract function appears only marginally in the analyzed corpus. The article conceptualizes camera movement as a recurring directorial style in Indonesian OTT originals. It proposes a two-case analytical framework linking motion patterns, visual stylistic identity, and immersive viewing experience.

Abstract

This study examines cultural appropriation in dangdut Makassar. While existing studies on dangdut and cultural appropriation tend to emphasize musical hybridity or commercialization, they rarely examine the role of local community agency in transforming appropriated forms into recognized local identities. Employing a qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review, the analysis was conducted using data triangulation to ensure validity. Fieldwork was conducted in Makassar through observations of live performances and community events, complemented by in-depth interviews with musicians, cultural practitioners, and audience members. The findings reveal three main factors driving cultural appropriation in dangdut Makassar: musical, economic, and socio-cultural factors. Borrowings from Malay, Arab, Sundanese, koplo, and Western musical styles appear in melodic structures, arrangements, and performance practices. Despite these external influences, dangdut Makassar is widely perceived as a distinctive local identity due to regional cultural markers such as traditional costumes, local instruments (pui-pui, kacaping, and gandrang), and the use of the Makassar language in its lyrics. Furthermore, dangdut Makassar is broadly accepted and utilized in various community contexts, including economic activities, political events, socio-cultural practices, and digital or technological spaces. These findings suggest that cultural appropriation in dangdut Makassar should be understood not as a unidirectional borrowing process, but as a socially negotiated practice through which external influences are localized, legitimized, and re-signified as markers of regional identity.

Abstract

Environmental decline in North Jakarta, marked by rising temperatures, pollution, coastal flooding, and falling fish stocks, has intensified economic hardship for fishing families, sometimes coinciding with higher rates of early marriage as a perceived way to reduce household burdens. Using discourse analysis of archived reports and documentaries by Mongabay and Deutsche Welle, this article examines how the two nature-conservation–oriented media outlets report on this issue, and argues that their narratives frequently frame early marriage as a direct and rational adaptation to climate change while portraying girls as passive victims of environmental loss. Such representations risk oversimplifying a complex social phenomenon and obscuring long-standing drivers of early marriage, including chronic poverty, unstable informal labor, limited access to secondary education, and deeply rooted gender and faith-based norms that shape family decision-making. By reducing early marriage to a linear consequence of ecological collapse, these narratives flatten local agency and overlook the intergenerational transmission of survival strategies that long predate current climate pressures. The article contends that climate stress functions less as an original cause than as an aggravating condition that intensifies existing vulnerabilities, pushing families to prioritize immediate survival over long-term investment in girls' education. Through critical media analysis, this study highlights how victim-centered portrayals can inadvertently depoliticize poverty and normalize gendered sacrifice. It concludes that more context-sensitive reporting is needed, and that effective policy responses must focus on securing livelihoods, stabilizing coastal economies, and expanding educational access, rather than treating early marriage primarily as an environmental adaptation problem.
