Abstract

This article discusses the transformation of the Chinese press in the face of the Indonesian government's attempt to shut down the press that used permitted fonts during the Guided Democracy era. This research uses historical research methods to analyze the government's actions in trying to shut down the Chinese press and the transformation of the Chinese press to be able to continue publishing in Indonesia. The Chinese press is a newspaper published in Indonesia using the Chinese language and script. There is also a Chinese press that publishes in Malay, which is published by peranakan Chinese living in Indonesia. The Chinese press has experienced two closure attempts by the government, namely in April 1958 and in 1960 which resulted in the Chinese press in Indonesia transforming. The Chinese press continues to publish in Indonesia by transforming into newspapers that use Indonesian names, language and writing.

Abstract

This article examines the socio-economic impacts of the Jabodetabek Economic Electric Rail Train operation towards the surrounding community from 1976 to 2013. The study analyzes the development of the transportation and the response of community. The research highlights how the existence of the transportation caused various significant impacts both positively and negatively. The present study employs a historical method incorporating heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography to analyze the phenomenon. The findings reveal that, while the presence of the Electric Rail Train yielded positive socio-economic impacts, such as fostering potential cooperation and generating employment opportunities within the community, it also concomitantly led to an escalation in crime and conflict, including thuggery, pickpocketing, and vandalism, within the train-crossing areas. The article concludes that the train’s operation had engendered a dilemma, stemming from the high intensity of social interaction characterizing the station and its evolution into a commercial hub for the local community.

Abstract

This article explores the socio-intellectual history of Islam in Palembang, spanning from the Sultanate era to the colonial period. Employing a qualitative historical approach and library research, the study examines the evolution of Islamic scholarly networks, the pivotal role of local ulama, and the influence of Dutch colonial policies on religious education. Primary sources include manuscripts authored by Sheikh Abdussamad al-Palimbani, royal Sultanate documents, and Dutch colonial archives. Data were analyzed thematically using a historical-hermeneutic framework and source criticism to ensure textual authenticity and contextual accuracy. The findings demonstrate that Palembang functioned as a major intellectual hub in Sumatra, shaped by the dynamic interplay between local Islamic authority, transregional ulama networks, and the pressures of colonial administration. This study contributes to the historiography of Malay-Islamic scholarship by highlighting the adaptive resilience of religious intellectual traditions amid shifting political regimes.

Abstract

This paper examines the emergence of Medan as a pivotal colonial economic hub in the early twentieth century, foregrounding the structural influence of plantation capitalism. Anchored in the broader trajectory of Dutch colonial expansion in Sumatra—especially in the Deli region—the study traces how large-scale plantation enterprises, predominantly in tobacco, rubber, and palm oil, fundamentally reshaped the city's urban morphology, socio-economic hierarchy, and administrative functions. The principal research inquiry centers on the role of plantation capitalism in engineering Medan’s economic configuration and entrenching colonial hierarchies. Employing a historical-analytical approach grounded in archival materials, colonial-era documentation, and academic literature, this study demonstrates that Medan’s accelerated urbanization and growing strategic importance were intrinsically linked to the imperatives of European capital and the systematic exploitation of both indigenous and migrant labor. The analysis further reveals that the spatial ordering of the city, investments in infrastructure, and patterns of social stratification were not merely coincidental, but deliberate outcomes of a capitalist logic institutionalized within the colonial apparatus. The findings suggest that Medan functioned not only as a logistical node in the transnational flows of commodities but also as a paradigmatic case of colonial urbanism shaped by plantation-driven accumulation. As such, the paper contributes to broader debates on the lasting imprint of colonial economic systems on Southeast Asia’s urban landscapes.

Abstract

This study explores the philosophical significance embedded in the Naber Laut tradition practiced by the community of Batu Beriga Village, Central Bangka Regency, from 1963 to 2018. The Naber Laut tradition is a customary ceremony rooted in animistic and dynamistic beliefs, serving as an expression of gratitude for the bounty of the sea as well as a plea for the safety of fishermen. This research employs historical methods with a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that this tradition embodies spiritual, social, and cultural values that strengthen local identity and serve as a form of resistance against the tide of modernization. The Naber Laut tradition also represents the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, passed down through generations. This study’s findings strengthen efforts to preserve local culture amidst the dynamics of social change. This study sheds new light on how local traditions function as dynamic cultural adaptation strategies in the face of modernization.

Abstract

The implementation of marriage in an area has its traditions and the Bugis tribe's marriage. Some customs are attached to the procession and have good meanings. The meaning of the wedding procession is often only known by traditional leaders or a group of people who are traditional observers. As a result, the older generation fails to transmit these customs effectively to the next generation. This research aims to explore the symbolic meaning of one of the Bugis tribe's wedding processions, which is called the Mammatua. The research method uses a descriptive approach with a qualitative research type. The authors collected the research data through observation, documentation, and interviews. We conducted observation and documentation directly at one of the Bugis tribe wedding processes in Baranti District, Sidrap Regency. Informants consisted of traditional leaders and local community members involved in the Mammatua procession at one of the weddings. The research information collected was then validated using symbolic validity with the involvement of anthropologists. The validated data was then analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and verification techniques. The study results show that the Mammatua is carried out after the wedding reception to ask for blessings from the bride and groom's parents. The procession features the exchange of lipa sabbe (silk sarongs) between families as a symbol of mutual respect and familial unity. In contrast, the offering of penne anreang (plates containing staple foods, ingredients, and traditional cakes) expresses the hope that the bride and groom will uphold the integrity of their household. These meanings emerge from symbolic interactions that the community has continuously expressed and practiced across generations, eventually becoming embedded beliefs that are actively preserved.

Abstract

This study investigates the historical development of Dutch loanwords in the Indonesian language, situating it within the broader context of colonialism and linguistic transformation. The study is premised on the assumption that colonial rule not only shaped political and economic structures but also left a profound impact on language. The central research question investigates how Dutch colonialism contributed to the development and integration of Dutch-derived vocabulary in Indonesian. Employing a historical-linguistic methodology, this study combines etymological analysis with archival and textual sources from the colonial period to trace the semantic evolution and socio-political function of selected loanwords. The findings reveal that Dutch loanwords are predominantly found in administrative, legal, educational, and technological domains, reflecting the sectors most influenced by colonial governance. These borrowings did not merely enrich the lexicon but also signified a shift in epistemic frameworks during the colonial encounter. The article argues that the linguistic legacy of colonialism in Indonesia is not a passive imprint but an active site of negotiation and adaptation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the entangled relationship between language and power in postcolonial societies and highlights the importance of historical inquiry in linguistic research.

Abstract

This study explores the educational contributions and intellectual legacy of Kiai Hasan Maolani, a prominent Islamic scholar who lived during the Dutch colonial era in Kuningan Regency, West Java. The research centers on his biography and his significant role as both a religious and educational figure, whose influence extended beyond regional boundaries, attracting students from Central and East Java. Employing a historical method that integrates heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, this study utilizes both primary and secondary sources to reconstruct his educational activities. The findings reveal that Kiai Hasan Maolani founded Pesantren Lengkong, which emerged as a vital institution for Islamic religious education and intellectual development. Through this pesantren, he implemented a holistic educational philosophy encompassing key concepts such as the pursuit of knowledge (thalabul 'ilm), worship (ibadah), Islamic monotheism (tawhid), social cohesion through visits and religious networking (silaturahmi and ziyarah), charitable practices (amal), and spiritual struggle (jihad). The research concludes that Kiai Hasan Maolani’s educational model not only shaped the intellectual character of his time but also laid the foundation for a resilient pesantren-based learning tradition in West Java.

Abstract

This study investigates the Warenhuis—Medan’s first modern department store—as both a symbol of colonial-era modernity and a pivotal force in the city’s economic transformation during the Dutch East Indies period. Strategically located at the confluence of European urban planning and local commercial dynamics, the Warenhuis served not only as a site for retail activity but also as a visual and functional embodiment of socio-economic change within a rapidly industrializing colonial context. The central inquiry guiding this research is: in what ways did the emergence and operation of the Warenhuis mirror and shape Medan’s economic and spatial development during the colonial era? Using a qualitative historical methodology, the research draws upon archival sources, colonial-era newspapers, and urban planning documents to trace the department store’s role in reshaping the city’s commercial infrastructure. The findings reveal that the Warenhuis operated as more than a commercial establishment—it acted as a cultural and economic interface, where colonial ideologies of progress intersected with indigenous modes of consumption and space-making. It simultaneously symbolized colonial ambition and enabled capitalist expansion, contributing significantly to the formation of Medan’s modern urban identity in the early 20th century.

Abstract

This study investigates the multicultural character of Medan in the late 19th century, with a focus on the intricate ethnic and cultural dynamics that influenced the city’s evolution during the colonial era. As a rapidly growing urban hub in East Sumatra, Medan attracted a diverse array of migrant communities—including Malays, Bataks, Chinese, Indians, and Europeans—each of which played a role in shaping the city’s socio-cultural landscape. This research addresses the question of how these ethnic groups interacted, negotiated spatial boundaries, and coexisted within the colonial urban order. Using a qualitative historical approach, the study draws upon archival materials, colonial administrative records, and travel writings to reconstruct interethnic relations and patterns of cultural exchange. The findings suggest that Medan’s multiculturalism was not simply a consequence of demographic plurality, but was deeply embedded in colonial economic imperatives, labor migration systems, and spatial planning strategies that regulated intergroup contact. Ethnic enclaves emerged as both sites of cultural preservation and zones of contestation, giving rise to hybrid identities and practices. The study concludes that 19th-century Medan offers a formative example of colonial urban multiculturalism—shaped by global migration and colonial governance—and provides valuable historical insight into the roots of ethnic pluralism in contemporary Indonesia.
