Abstract

This study aims to understand the development of Java-Balinese religious bathing monuments/petirtaan from the point of view of comparative archaeology in particular the structural changes of the fountain system with female deity statues.  Firstly, I have divided the major monuments into two categories based on the condition of the spout, and each category was respectively classified into five types according to basic forms.  By comparing similar water monuments in Angkor and India, I considered the meaning of the transformation of these monuments during the Central and East Java periods, and hypothetically discussed the birth of female deity statues as fountain spouts.

Abstract

This study analyzes the transformation of Pancasila Education through the integration of SASAMBO local wisdom values (Sasak, Samawa, and Mbojo) in the formation of students' social character in the digital era. The novelty of this research lies in the development of a conceptual framework that connects SASAMBO's local values with digital-based social character competencies, which have not been elaborated much in the study of Pancasila Education. Using a qualitative approach with the literature study method, the analysis was carried out through thematic content analysis which included the process of identifying, categorization, and interpreting the main themes based on 41 selected scientific sources, including national-international journals, academic books, and education policy documents. Validation of findings is carried out through source triangulation to ensure data consistency and reliability. The results of the study show that the values of begawe (mutual cooperation), saleng pedi (empathy), and maja labo dahu (integrity) contribute significantly in strengthening the social character of students in the context of digital interaction. The integration of these values through project-based learning models and digital media results in more adaptive and contextual character strengthening patterns. Theoretically, this research enriches the perspective of Pancasila Education based on local wisdom; Practically, it offers a relevant implementation model to shape the social character of students in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a history learning media based on Augmented Reality (AR) technology entitled NaraJuang: The 10 November 1945 Struggle Diorama to improve students' digital literacy and strengthen nationalism values. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The developed product is a digital diorama application featuring interactive historical content, three-dimensional visualization, audio narration, and user-driven exploration. Expert evaluation indicated that the media met feasibility requirements, and its implementation demonstrated improvements in digital literacy competencies, learning motivation, student engagement, and historical understanding. The use of immersive visualization and interactive narration encouraged learners to construct meaning, reflect on historical context, and recognize the relevance of national heritage in the digital era. This finding highlights the potential of AR-based media to support higher-order thinking skills, particularly in history learning, where contextualization, interpretation, and emotional connection are essential. The study concludes that NaraJuang serves as an effective and innovative learning media that is contextual, interactive, and aligned with twenty-first-century educational demands.

Abstract

The Japanese archipelago extends over 20 degrees of latitude from north to south. The Ainu culture flourished in Hokkaido at the northern end, and the Ryukyu culture flourished in Okinawa at the southern end. The Ryukyu Islands are located at the intersection of the Japanese archipelago, the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, and the islands of Southeast Asia. From prehistoric to historical times, cultures flowed in from various directions. Furthermore, the region's religion was characterized by shamanism overseen by female priests, and independent kingdoms formed. This paper aims to elucidate Ryukyuan cultural astronomy in this geographically and culturally diverse context.  This section's methodology involves interpreting astronomical phenomena discernible from folklore, myths, and rituals using astronomical data and celestial simulations. This paper introduces the unique aspects of archaeoastronomy and cultural astronomy in Okinawa, focusing on monuments such as the Sun Stone, the Utaki shrines, and star-observing stones. In addition to the importance of the sun, this paper shows that the Pleiades and Orion's Belt are the most conspicuous in the Ryukyu Islands. The paper also discusses the local names and legends of southern stars, such as the Southern Cross. Other notable constellations in Okinawa include Centaurus, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and α and β Centauri. There is also a unique tale about the origin of "star sand." This paper then provides an overview of cultural astronomy related mainly to southern stars, focusing on the Ryukyu Islands.

Abstract

This article highlights the local toponym “Dedari” (heavenly nymph) in Bali to explore the symbolic function of the imaginary figure in the historical dynamism of the island’s local ecology. The preliminary research presents macroscopic and microscopic observations based on the mapping of geographical distribution and the author’s 2023–2024 fieldwork. The survey first unveiled the fact that most places named Dedari are related to water such as waterfalls, springs, and streams. In particular, the example of a waterfall called Gerojogan Dedari in Pujungan (Tabanan), which is associated with the human-nymph marriage tale Rajapala, suggests three socio-ecological aspects in the holy waterfall of dedari: 1) hierarchizing spatial order as the “head” in the vertical structure of the world (bhuwana), 2) symbolizing territorial acquisition and boundaries, 3) implying the cultural hybridity brought about by the broad network in early Maritime Asia, in contrast to the closed-image mountain areas of Bali. The case study therefore demonstrates the significance of the toponym of Dedari as the key to rediscovering the epistemological landscape between nature and cosmology in the archaic culture of Bali.

Abstract

This study examines the legend of the “Feather Robe Pine” of the Toyo River, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, with the aim of clarifying the background of its formation and the characteristics of its transmission. Based on the archival analysis, the following insights were derived. As a result, four points were clarified. First, the background of the “Feather Robe Pine” legend preserved of the Toyo River is believed to have involved the prayers of the people in Toyo River basin for flood control. Second, a connection can be recognized between the legend of the “Feather Robe Pine” of the Toyo River and the Hoshino clan, whose influence extended into the Toyokawa River basin during the Muromachi period, held the position of “Role of the Heavenly Feather Robe” in the Daijosai ceremony. Third, the “Feather Robe Pine” legend of the Toyo River is connected to the story of the noblewoman and the “Single Leaf Tea Garden” preserved in Gyomei-cho. Fourth, the “Feather Robe Pine” legend of the Toyo River is considered to have been intricately constructed under the influence of the “Feather Robe Pine” legend of Miho no Matsubara.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Kedia Sabha (association for the Kedia lineage) as a case study for historical analysis on how an Indian merchant community, known as Marwaris, described themselves through managing a caste association and invented their family goddess through editing their caste journals in colonial India. A historical-ethnographic methodology is used to analyze using caste journals and archival sources. The organization was founded in 1913 as a charitable association with the purpose of supporting members of the lineage residing in Calcutta. The organization has two contrasting characteristics; one is a caste association to promote their social, cultural, and economic welfare for members of a certain lineage or caste, and the other is a charitable institution for the public in theory. First, a review of the literature on caste associations in colonial India and Marwari’s involvement in the caste associations is conducted. The Kedia Sabha is then analyzed as a case study to determine how charity functions as both social consumption and economic accumulation.

Abstract

The celestial maiden wife tales (Tennin Nyōbō-tan) told in Japanese Amami Islands correspond to the globally recognized Swan Maiden type. These narratives typically describe a celestial maiden whose flying garment is taken by a man, forcing her to become his wife. Amami versions exhibit distinctive features: origin legends in which the celestial maiden’s daughter becomes a noro (priestess) or yuta (female shaman); lullabies that reveal the hidden location of the hagoromo and found in many versions; and performances of the tale as kuduchi (kudoki - narrative songs) which are still sung today. The regional image of the celestial maiden or amore onagu is multivalent, encompassing religious figures, social outsiders, and ghosts. Furthermore, influences from performing arts and folktales of Okinawa are also evident in the transmission of these tales. Drawing on 42 orally collected and published texts, the analysis employs motif comparison and textual interpretation to illuminate the layered imagery and oral aesthetics of Amami’s Tennin Nyōbō-tan. In doing so, it contributes to understanding how oral tradition and performance localize a global folktale motif.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an educational monopoly game containing West Javanese culture (Motekar) as an effort to build character, Sundanese cultural literacy, and financial literacy among the younger generation. The low level of understanding among the younger generation of local culture and the lack of awareness of the importance of financial literacy in everyday life form the background of this study. Monopoly games with local wisdom content are an educational and interactive learning medium that can hone students' cultural and financial literacy skills, thereby fostering positive character traits. Using the Research and Development (R&D) approach according to Borg and Gall, this research began with problem identification, literature review, product development, product testing, and product dissemination and implementation. The research questions cover the steps in developing the monopoly media, expert validation, and students' perceptions of the Motekar game. The Motekar game media is expected to not only improve students' understanding of Sundanese cultural and financial literacy but also encourage the formation of positive character in students through regional language and culture learning in line with the principles of education for sustainable development (ESD) in terms of education quality. In addition, Motekar media also has a novel concept and content. In terms of content, Motekar presents a variety of cultures from West Java, while in terms of concept, Motekar presents a strength-based approach so that in the game there are no negative rules such as “going to jail without a specific mistake”.

Abstract

This study investigates the formation, objectives, and strategic dynamics of electoral alliances in Bangladesh’s 11th National Parliamentary Election (2018). Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on 26 semi-structured interviews with candidates, party leaders, voters, academics, journalists, political analysts, and civil society representatives, alongside document analysis and media content review. The findings reveal that alliances were primarily driven by the pursuit of power, the consolidation of vote banks, and the enhancement of political legitimacy, often facilitated through the use of common electoral symbols. Notably, the Grand Alliance (Mohajote) emphasized the unification of pro-liberation forces, while opposition coalitions framed their collaboration as a broader movement for the restoration of democracy. Newly registered parties frequently contested under alliance symbols due to administrative constraints, prioritizing participation over independent identity. The study also identifies the role of personal interests in alliance politics, highlighting instances where individual gains shaped strategic decisions. These findings illuminate the complex interplay between ideology, strategy, and pragmatism in Bangladesh’s electoral politics, offering insights into the evolving nature of coalition-building and symbolic politics in democratic systems.
