Abstract

This paper aims to fill the gap in the marketing of Batik and Adire. The methodology deployed is a comparative analysis of literature and legal instruments. The paper also uses data to comparatively analyze the impact of the marketing of Batik and Adire in the creative industries in Indonesia and Nigeria. The paper's findings show that both fabrics share some commonalities in making them, and their designs have sociocultural meanings. They contribute to sustainable socio-economic and cultural development of both countries. Moreover, both fabrics have cultural, aesthetic, artistic, and religious values. They play significant roles in tourism, art-craft, the creative industry, and the way of life of Indonesians and Nigerians. Both fabrics require similar measures to enhance their marketing strategies given their marketing limitations. Conclusively, common measures can be used to enhance the marketing of both fabrics in terms of the use of technology. Hence, both countries should put appropriate legal regimes, regulatory frameworks, facilities, and infrastructure in place to achieve that. Also, the creation of textile cottage industries, the establishment of small and medium enterprises, and public-private partnerships are key in bolstering the marketing of Batik and Adire.

Abstract

The Hakka Diaspora is one of the immigrant descendants who have lived in Indonesia for a very long time. Their existence has often experienced ups and downs. This study aims to analyze the waves of Hakka migration to Indonesia and how they negotiate with national identity. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze this phenomenon with data collected from interviews and literature studies. The research results showed that the wave of Hakka migration to Indonesia does not only come from mainland China but also from Taiwan. The Hakka migration waves from mainland China largely occurred during the Qing dynasty due to overcrowded populations, the difficulty of land ownership, and government discrimination problems. Meanwhile, the Hakka migration from Taiwan occurred after the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, which forced the Qing dynasty to surrender Formosa to Japan after the First Sino-Japanese war and mass company relocation in the 1980s due to rising production costs in Taiwan. Second, to negotiate their background with Indonesian identity, the Hakka have five philosophies of life called Hakkacita. This philosophy emphasizes conscience, good virtue, cohesiveness, devotion, and shared prosperity between Hakka descendants and other ethnic groups within the framework of Indonesian nationalism.

Abstract

Patronage and visitor education has been of great concern to the management of museums in Ghana. The need to assess visitors' experience, education, and satisfaction to inform policy is expedient. This study looked at visitor experience and satisfaction with museum education in Ghana. Visiting and studying nine museums under the Ghana Museums and Monument Board (GMMB) and using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study revealed that visitor experiences, satisfaction, and education are unsatisfactory. There are issues with teaching methods, the state of exhibits and exhibition styles, and the challenge of low possibility for visitor revisit. Results show that there are low innovative educational and entertaining activities to strengthen museum infrastructure. There is a need to commit resources to strengthen museums and introduce activities that would serve as grounds for museum learning. A strong engagement of visitor education in a positive, socio-cultural and conducive learning atmosphere is very much expedient.

Abstract

In life, there are negative occurrences capable of throwing humanity into lockdown conditions, like the recent global pandemic - Covid-19, which caused lockdowns to be declared at different places across the globe. This made for the restriction of movement, resulting in the unavailability of raw materials, which in turn halted the production of goods which are not food or medicine. Art was not left out, as its production was equally held in abeyance. This paper projects a formula for continuity in art production in such a situation. Its objectives are to expatiate the basic requirements for art production and propose a viable formula for it in a lockdown situation. The paper employed the internet, analog, and digital libraries to review related literature and works and a descriptive research approach. Findings reveal that the basic requirements for art production are artistic skill, artistic idea; art material(s); and tools/equipment where necessary. Also, the artist’s main problem of unavailability of conventional materials during lockdown can be overcome by employing waste, freely available everywhere, for art production. The paper concludes that employing waste as material for art creation can keep the artist afloat in art production during the lockdown. It is recommended that artists not only employ waste for art creation in a lockdown condition but always for innovation and creativity in art praxis.

Abstract

Overthinking is one of the big problems for young people nowadays. The release of the music video of Takut by Idgitaf is very relatable to the overthinking phenomenon that occurs in young people. This research aims to analyze overthinking representations in the music video of Takut by Idgitaf.  The method used in this analysis is qualitative and the theory of Roland Barthes to identify myth, denotation, and connotation meanings in the video. Semiotic signs are found in the music video Takut by Idgitaf, both visually through video and verbally through the lyrics. The research proves that the music video for this song of Takut by Idgitaf has been signed visually and verbally, describing a person's overthinking attitude towards everything, especially young people. This song explores the feelings of young people nowadays about the stress of thinking about the future, the fear of failure, and the anxiety about getting older also means increased responsibility. Besides, this song conveys how young people can deal with overthinking.

Abstract

This study investigates the costume styling and material composition of Effutu festival costumes. It is delimited to Effutu festival performance costumes. The qualitative design was adopted. The ethnography approach was employed through narrative analysis and oral history. Unstructured interviews and on-site direct observations were the qualitative data collection instrument used for the data collection. The narrative analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that historically costumes are seen as relics that can tell the story about the exploits and traditional mythologies of the communities. Again, costumes that materialise culture and identities do not just mirror pre-existing sets of ideas or symbolic systems but facilitate values as ‘they form part of an ethnohistorical repository of knowledge. The findings further revealed that, costume styling could be categorised into Royal, Ritual, Asafo (war/battle), Generational, Women ensembles (Adzewa costumes) and Fanciful costumes. The basic material composition of costumes includes fabrics (both applied and structural designs), leather, horsetail, metal helmets, pillows, kaolin, beads (plastic and glass), mpoboa (shoes), symbolic colours and other material collaboration. It is recommended that costumes used for the Effutu festival be recorded and digitalised for future reference.

Abstract

This research is qualitative research using a life story approach. The informants of this study were seven Indonesian Muslim women and one Christian who married a Japanese man living in Japan. The study analyzes how religious identity is negotiated in the marriages of Japanese men and Indonesian women. The previous research informants were three Indonesian women who married Japanese people in Indonesia. The prior research indicates that all Japanese husbands follow the religion of their Indonesian wives. This study finds that all Japanese husbands, before marriage, follow the religion of their Indonesian wives. Still, after marriage, some continue to follow the informant's religion, while others return to their previous religion. Seven informants kept their religion, but one person converted to the religion of a Japanese husband. Two informants entered marriages with different religions. One informant who did not want to follow her husband's religion had a severe conflict because of the intervention of the informant's mother-in-law. Husbands generally do not question the religion of their wives, but disputes arise in cases where Japanese husbands adhere to a particular religion. The Indonesian wife's family and several Japanese husband's families also intervened in the religious negotiations. The religious change of Japanese men before marriage is initially more of a consideration for the smooth running of the marriage process. Research on intermarriages between Indonesians and Japanese is minimal. Research like this needs to be done because the number of intermarriages is increasing. This research brings valuable knowledge to prospective Indonesian and Japanese intermarriages.

Abstract

In stage performance, costume art is an essential visual signature device with the veracity to unveil the character and cultural identity of the performer. Stage costume art could also be deployed to respond to pertinent societal issues. In spite of its versatile essentiality in performing arts, there seems to be a dearth of scholarly interpretation of stage costume art of Ghanaian musicians, thereby creating a knowledge gap. This qualitative case study makes a hermeneutical interpretation of eight random-purposively sampled stage costumes of Wiyaala (a Ghanaian female musician) to establish their cultural symbolism. The study found Wiyaala not only an iconic Ghanaian artiste but an internationally recognised musician who toured many countries across Africa, Europe, the Americas, and other continents for musical stage performances. It emerged that Wiyaala’s stage costumes were locally self-constructed, and ably reflected the uniquely versatile indigenous African (Ghanaian) dress cultural identity in respect of African (Ghanaian): royal dress fashion, war costumes, initiation costumes, and others. Wiyaala could be said to have prioritised interest in using her locally sourced stage costume art to promote and preserve indigenous African (Ghanaian) dress cultural identity. Since Wiyaala is an iconic musician, she is encouraged to continue deploying locally sourced costume art for her stage performances to promote and preserve African (Ghanaian) dress cultural identity for posterity. This tends to decolonise the stage costume choice of many Ghanaian musicians with its cascading impact on the Ghanaian textile and fashion industry for economic and job gains.
