Abstract

This study explores Undu-unduon, the oral folktales of the Saluan people in Central Sulawesi, as a medium of cultural preservation and identity formation. Despite the pressures of globalization and technological change, these narratives remain vital in transmitting values across generations. The research aims to identify the moral, social, and cultural wisdom contained in the stories and to explain their role in reflecting Saluan identity. Using Krippendorff’s content analysis, nine folktales were examined through interviews with cultural bearers, published collections, and digital recordings. Each narrative was coded into categories of moral values, social relations, cultural beliefs, and identity markers. The findings reveal that the tales embed lessons of honesty, responsibility, discipline, and respect for elders, while also warning against greed, betrayal, and disobedience. Stories such as Burung Popongku, Danau Dowiwi, and Banangsina highlight discipline, kinship, and resilience as core elements of Saluan worldview. At the same time, they critique negative behaviors that disrupt social harmony. The study concludes that Undu-unduon functions not only as entertainment but also as moral instruction and cultural preservation, offering insights into how oral traditions can be used to strengthen character education and sustain ethnic identity in modern contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the improvement of students’ cerkak (Javanese short story) writing skills and digital literacy through the use of blogs in madrasah enviroment. The research is motivated by low interest in Javanese literature and creative obstacles found in conventional methods. Initial data from 18 students at MTsN Kota Madiun showed sub-optimal results, with only 2 students achieving the "excellent" category, while the majority fell into the "good" (10 students) and "fair" (6 students) categories. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining interviews with writing performance tests on blogs. The results showed a significant transformation; after guidance, 10 students reached the "excellent" category, 7 students were "good," and only 1 student remained "fair." This study concludes that blog media effectively stimulates creativity and substantially improves students' cerkak writing skills compared to conventional methods.

Abstract

Indonesia has a diversity of tribes, races, religions, and cultures that are reflected in local traditions that are passed down from generation to generation, such as the gowokan tradition in Babagan Village, Lasem District, Rembang Regency. Babagan Village which is located in the Lasem cultural area is known as part of the historical area in Lasem, Rembang Regency, Central Java, which has a wealth of traditions and cultural acculturation. Tradition is not only understood as a habitual practice that is passed down from generation to generation, but also as a symbol system that represents the values, beliefs, and outlook on life of the supporting community. This research aims to describe the practice of the gowokan tradition and analyze the sign system contained in it. The Grand theory used is Ferdinand de Saussure's structural semiotics regarding the relationship between the signifier and signified, with a theory supporting the post-structuralist perspective that states that one marker can produce a compound marker. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with an interpretative approach. Research data in the form of informant speech, procession series, presentation symbols, and visual documentation. The data source was obtained from the village head, Mudin, traditional practitioners, and local elders through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, categorization, data presentation, and interpretation of meaning using syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The research results show that every element in the gowokan procession such as sega liwet, sayur kunci bayem, kunir rice, and dhuwit klithik is a signifier that has a signified value in the form of gratitude, hope, prosperity, and social harmony. The procession of throwing udhik-udhikan becomes a symbol of sharing sustenance and strengthening communal solidarity. This finding confirms that the gowokan tradition not only functions as a thanksgiving ritual, but also as a system of cultural signs that contains symbolic meanings that can be interpreted in layers by the community. Thus, the gowokan tradition can be understood as a cultural text that represents the Babagan people's view of life about the balance between humans, God, and their social community.
