Abstract

Gondrang is one of the most important musical ensembles in the Simalungun tradition, originally serving as sacred accompaniment in ritual contexts, particularly funerary ceremonies. Previous studies have largely focused on the social and cultural transformations of Gondrang, while the specific changes in its musical structure and style have not been analyzed in depth. This study aims to describe and analyze the internal musical changes of Gondrang, including its instrumentation, rhythmic organization, ensemble formation, melodic orientation, ornamentation, and performance expression. Employing a qualitative ethnomusicological approach, the research is based on observation of performances, interviews with musicians and cultural elders, and audio-visual documentation. The results show that Gondrang has experienced structural changes such as the addition of modern instruments and flexible ensemble settings, and stylistic changes including faster tempos, melodic expansion, ornamented improvisation, and more expressive performance gestures. Despite these changes, core rhythmic patterns and symbolic identity have been preserved. This study contributes to ethnomusicology by highlighting the internal dynamics of musical change, showing how Gondrang adapts to modern contexts while maintaining its cultural essence.

Abstract

This study discusses the dynamics of the development of canang kayu musical instruments in the Aceh Singkil community. Canang kayu, which initially served as a traditional musical instrument in rituals and religious activities, has undergone changes in form, function, and context of use over time. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, this study was analyzed based on Herkovits' Theory of Change. The results of the study indicate that the Canang Kayu musical instrument has undergone changes in its aesthetic subjects, objects, and ethics. These changes can be seen in the number of notes and in the player's position at formal events and traditional ceremonies. Despite the changes, Canang Kayu continues to uphold the values of local culture and the identity of the Aceh Singkil community.

Abstract

Community murals, as participatory public art projects, express local identities and cultural influences within society. Situated in the heart of Yogyakarta, the community mural in Suryatmajan tourist village conveys a visual message about unity in diversity while promoting a multicultural ideology. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the signs on these community murals as visual representations of multiculturalism. Employing Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, this research decodes the signs and layered meanings in four murals placed at the different entrance gates. These murals visually represent four distinct cultural influences, from local to global: Javanese, Chinese, Japanese, and American (popular culture). These cultural influences are identified through images of prominent figures or icons associated with each culture. They generate denotative and connotative meanings for each mural according to its story. As a manifestation of community engagement, the diversity in this mural representation reflects social conditions, cultural history, and residents' preferences. These murals also demonstrate the community's tolerance for cultural differences and foster multiculturalism. By prioritizing the value of harmony (guyub), Suryatmajan tourism kampong emphasizes unity in cultural diversity as a mural narrative. This research concludes that the community mural in tourism kampong is more than simply decoration; it serves as a collective expression, attracts tourists, and fosters multiculturalism within the society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality and location on tourist satisfaction in Denai Lama Tourism Village, Deli Serdang Regency. The background of this research is based on the importance of sustainable management of community-based tourist destinations in increasing the competitiveness and loyalty of tourists. This study employs a quantitative descriptive approach, utilizing a survey method with 80 tourists who visited Denai Lama Tourism Village. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the variables of service quality (X₁) and location (X₂) had a significant effect on tourist satisfaction (Y), accounting for 84.2% of the contribution. These findings confirm that friendly, fast, and communicative services, as well as strategic and easily accessible locations, are the dominant factors that affect the level of satisfaction among tourists. This research offers practical implications for tourism village managers to enhance service standards and location governance, thereby maintaining visitor loyalty and ensuring the sustainability of tourist destinations.

Abstract

This corpus-based study analyses two adjectives often perceived as synonymous, effective and efficient, by examining their collocations and formality levels in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). A qualitative content analysis was applied to 400 concordance lines, evenly divided between the two adjectives. The analysis involved selecting content, categorising data, developing coding rules, coding texts, and interpreting results. Collocational structures such as adjective + preposition, adjective + to-infinitive, adjective + that-clause, adverb + adjective, and adjective + noun were identified. The findings show that effective frequently collocates with nouns related to outcomes and appears predominantly in formal contexts, especially academic writing. In contrast, efficient commonly collocates with nouns related to processes and is used more flexibly across genres, including blogs and magazines. Grammatically, effective often combines with the prepositions in and at, while efficient shows greater variety and frequently occurs in to-infinitive and that-clause constructions. The study concludes that effective and efficient have distinct collocational patterns, grammatical behaviours, and degrees of formality, making them not fully interchangeable in all contexts.

Abstract

This ethnographic study investigates the Haul tradition's execution in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, emphasising the procedures and challenges of preserving this significant religious and cultural event. The Haul custom- an Islamic observance that pays tribute to esteemed progenitors or saints, is of great spiritual significance; however, it is currently facing contemporary challenges, such as ethnic diversity and generational shifts. Betulungan, a native term that signifies cooperation and communal assistance, is the foundation of the Haul's prosperity in Samarinda. Betulungan's role in fostering collaboration among women from various ethnic backgrounds—Javanese, Banjar, Kutai, and Dayak—who are involved in the administration and maintenance of the Haul is further clarified in this study. The research employed a case study methodology, utilising data collected from five key informants chosen for their substantial contributions to the organization of the Haul within their communities. The neighborhood leader, a critical participant in organising community events, is identified as a key informant because he fosters collaboration and ensures inclusion in this multiethnic environment. The research, conducted through participant observation and exhaustive interviews, illustrates how Betulungan is a conduit for bridging ethnic divides and promoting interethnic collaboration in preparing food, rituals, and logistics for the Haul. The data indicate that Betulungan fosters a collaborative environment where women, regardless of ethnicity, unify to achieve a common spiritual goal, thereby preserving the Haul heritage and enhancing social cohesiveness. In response to the socio-cultural dynamics of a modernizing, multiethnic Samarinda, the Haul heritage has continued to evolve, with the culture of mutual assistance being crucial to its preservation. The research improves understanding of the substantial role those local cooperative behaviors play in conserving cultural and religious traditions among various groups.

Abstract

This study uses Scopus data from 1855 to 2023 to examine key trends and developments in stained glass research, showing a notable increase in academic work after 2000. This growth is linked to advances in digital technology and wider global access, allowing for interdisciplinary research combining materials science, engineering, and cultural studies. New technologies, such as hyperspectral imaging and laser cleaning, have significantly improved conservation methods. The study also shows an increasing contribution from the United States, alongside the continued leadership of Europe, with more diverse sources of funding reflecting global investment in stained glass research. By offering a comprehensive, long-term analysis, this review fills gaps in previous studies by addressing the lack of integrated research across different fields and regions. It provides useful insights for future research, policy-making, and conservation efforts, highlighting the global importance of stained glass. The findings emphasize its continuing relevance to art, technology, and cultural heritage preservation.

Abstract

This study explored the potential of technology-enhanced art in fostering sustainable discourse practices and social connection in the digital age. As technology advances, new opportunities emerge to integrate digital tools into creative practices, particularly in the realm of art. By examining the intersection of art, technology, and discourse analysis through a sustainability lens, this research aims to uncover innovative approaches to promoting effective communication, civic engagement, collaboration, intercultural understanding, empathy, and resilience incorporating co-design processes, shared decision-making, or collaborative art-making activities. The study provides an overview of technology-enhanced art practices including social media, virtual reality, interactive installations, and digital storytelling tools, and their impact on discourse practices within diverse socio-cultural contexts. It investigates the role of digital platforms and creative processes in facilitating social connection through discourse. The research focuses on a thematic approach to technology-enhanced art interventions that promote sustainable discourse practices and social connection. Through a thematic and intervention-based approach, this research combines a review of current literature with case studies showcasing the successful implementation of technology-enhanced art interventions. So the current study argues that technology-enhanced art holds significant potential for fostering sustainable discourse practices and social connection in the digital age. By harnessing the power of digital tools and creative processes in an environmentally conscious manner, artists, educators, and practitioners can support social connections. This, in turn, contributes to personal, social, and environmental resilience in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the organological aspects of making and playing the Canang kayu (wooden canang) instrument. Canang kayu is one of the local musical instruments from Aceh Singkil Regency. It is included as a percussion instrument and classified as an idiophone (a solid musical instrument whose sound comes from the instrument itself). This musical instrument is a form of xylophone (a percussion instrument consisting of a series of wooden blocks placed horizontally and struck with a unique beater). A qualitative method was applied in this study. Data were collected through observation participation, literature studies, and interviews with the Canang kayu makers, Canang kayu players, and staff in Majelis Adat Aceh Singkil (Aceh Singkil Traditional Council). The data source was pictures of Canang kayu and interview recordings with informants. The result of the study showed that the primary raw materials for canning kayu are bamboo and tree wood/Terentang putih tree (local people also call it cupping wood). Terentang putih tree (Campnosperma auriculatum) is a type of tree that grows in swamps. This tree can be found near Aceh Singkil forest. It is pretty difficult to find at present. The material for making Canang kayu should consider the size, tool used, raw material, and the making process. For playing technique, Canang kayu can be played by placing it on feet or a container. The Canang kayu instrument has a strong relationship with maintaining its material and local knowledge of making concepts that seize the cultural values of the Aceh Singkil people. It can be concluded that the making and playing technique is an effort to preserve one of Aceh Singkil's cultural heritages toward the identity and important insights in enriching knowledge about Canang kayu as an Aceh Singkil traditional art.

Abstract

This research examines the linguistic phenomena of code-mixing and code-switching in Indonesian culinary television programs, focusing on MasterChef Indonesia Season 11. The research identifies the forms of code-mixing, which include inner, outer, and hybrid mixing of languages, as well as different types of code-switching, such as tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. The factors influencing these language shifts include globalization, the influence of foreign cultures, the need for commercial appeal, limitations in Indonesian vocabulary, and the communication habits of individuals in the culinary media. The research reveals that foreign terms, especially English, are commonly used in culinary contexts to describe techniques, ingredients, and concepts without direct Indonesian equivalents. While the use of foreign languages can enrich the Indonesian vocabulary and aid in adapting modern concepts, concerns arise regarding the erosion of the purity of Indonesian and its shifting status concerning global languages. The study underscores the importance of strategic measures for language preservation, including promoting awareness of linguistic identity and enforcing policies that ensure proper Indonesian use in mass media. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of language dynamics in public television and its potential impact on developing and preserving Indonesian as the national language.
