Abstract

Gender bias often emerges from unequal role distribution between women and men, including in societies that are normatively regarded as gender inclusive. The Minangkabau community, widely recognized for its matrilineal kinship system, is frequently assumed to privilege women; however, empirical realities indicate persistent gender asymmetries in power and authority. This study examines how gender bias manifests within Minangkabau customary structures, particularly in relation to social roles, authority, and political participation. Employing a qualitative research design with an ethnomethodological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and critical analysis of relevant literature. Informants included traditional leaders, Minangkabau women, and authoritative written sources on customary norms and social organization in West Sumatra. The findings reveal three dominant patterns of gender bias: women exercise authority over lineage and inheritance but remain excluded from formal political power; women, symbolically revered as Bundo Kanduang and custodians of the Rumah Gadang, hold limited substantive authority; and a dualistic role structure persists within domestic life, reinforcing unequal gender expectations. The study argues that matrilineality does not automatically ensure gender equality and underscores the need for critical engagement with customary systems to promote women’s substantive, rather than symbolic, participation in socio-political spaces.

Abstract

This study examines the presence of Malay manuscripts preserved at the North Sumatra State Museum as historical evidence of cultural interaction between Arabs and Malays. Written predominantly in Jawi script, these manuscripts contain religious, legal, literary, and social texts that demonstrate the influence of Arab-Islamic intellectual traditions in the Malay world. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research investigates the provenance of the collections, museum acquisition mechanisms, conservation practices, and institutional interpretations of their historiographical significance. The findings indicate that the manuscripts were largely acquired through inter-museum collaboration, particularly with the Aceh Museum, and are preserved using preventive conservation measures to mitigate material degradation. This article argues that Arab–Malay manuscripts constitute not merely literacy artifacts but key sources for reconstructing intellectual networks, Islamic transmission, and cross-cultural exchanges in Sumatra, thereby positioning this study within broader Malay manuscript scholarship and Islamic Nusantara historiography. The study highlights the strategic role of museums in sustaining cultural memory and advancing manuscript-based historical research.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Janengan performing art in reproducing Javanese ethnic identity among Javanese migrant communities in Kebumen Village, Lampung. Within a multiethnic social setting and migratory space, Janengan is understood not merely as an Islamic-Javanese religious expression but as a cultural practice that actively sustains ethnic continuity. The study addresses how Janengan functions as a medium for maintaining and renegotiating identity in a context marked by cultural interaction and social mobility. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in cultural ethnography and oral history, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that Janengan reproduces ethnic identity through the consistent use of the Javanese language, collective performance patterns, intergenerational transmission of religio-cultural values, and the reinterpretation of symbolic elements such as sajen. At the same time, it serves as a space for social solidarity and adaptive negotiation of Islamic-Javanese identity within a multiethnic environment. The article argues that Janengan operates as a dynamic cultural strategy through which Javanese migrants preserve and reconstruct their ethnic identity in migratory settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the Gumbregan tradition in Gunungkidul as a dynamic site of cultural acculturation between ancestral agrarian ritual practices and Islamic normative frameworks. It addresses the question of how Islamic teachings are integrated into pre-Islamic symbolic structures without erasing local cultural identity. Employing a qualitative design that combines library research with in-depth field interviews involving religious leaders, cultural custodians, and community members, the study applies an anthropological approach grounded in acculturation theory. The findings reveal that Gumbregan operates not merely as a livestock-blessing ceremony but as a negotiated religious expression in which Islamic elements—such as supplication, ritual purification, and communal kendhuren—recontextualize inherited symbols while preserving their socio-cultural significance. This adaptive integration generates a localized model of Islamic practice that reinforces gratitude to Allah, strengthens communal solidarity, and sustains agrarian cohesion. The study argues that Islamic norms are internalized through symbolic reinterpretation rather than cultural replacement, demonstrating the community’s conscious strategy to maintain cultural continuity while affirming religious identity within an evolving Islamic framework.

Abstract

This study investigates the process of Islamic inculturation within the traditional performing art of ludruk in Surabaya from 1975 to 2022, situating the analysis within the theoretical framework of inculturation and social history. It seeks to examine how Islamic values have been internalized into the structural, narrative, and symbolic dimensions of ludruk without diminishing its identity as a popular folk performance. Employing historical research methods—namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography—the study draws upon interviews, field observations, documentation, and library research. The findings indicate that Islamic values have been substantively integrated into ludruk through morally grounded plot constructions emphasizing justice and ethical conduct, the representation of religiously conscious protagonists, dialogical expressions infused with ethical-religious nuance, and visual symbolism—such as costumes and stage design—that reflects Islamic identity. Rather than displacing the traditional character of ludruk, this process has reconstituted its cultural function as both a medium of social expression and a vehicle for contextualized religious outreach. The study argues that the relationship between Islam and ludruk represents a long-term, dynamic process of cultural negotiation within the urban social landscape of Surabaya, extending beyond superficial symbolic acculturation.

Abstract

This study explores the meaning and function of the Batalam Ampek tradition as an integral component of the Minangkabau customary marriage ceremony in Nagari Tanjung Bonai, West Sumatra, within the broader context of ongoing social transformation. It seeks to examine how this tradition maintains its relevance and to identify the symbolic, religious, and social functions it performs within the local community. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research collected data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and a comprehensive literature review. The data were analyzed using a descriptive-interpretative framework to uncover layered meanings and their social significance. The findings demonstrate that Batalam Ampek embodies religious meanings that reflect the integration of adat and Islamic values, symbolic meanings that affirm social structure and kinship roles, and cultural meanings that reinforce collective identity. Functionally, the tradition strengthens social solidarity, preserves interfamily harmony, and facilitates the intergenerational transmission of Minangkabau customary values. The study argues that the continuity of Batalam Ampek transcends its ceremonial dimension, operating as a dynamic socio-cultural mechanism that sustains cohesion and cultural resilience within the local community.

Abstract

This article examines Sekolah Rakyat (Volksschool) within the structure of the Dutch colonial education system in Indonesia, situating it in the broader context of colonial governance and the Ethical Policy. The study addresses how Volksschool functioned simultaneously as an instrument of colonial control and as a site that generated unintended emancipatory consequences for the indigenous population. Employing historical research methods with a qualitative library approach—comprising heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography—this research analyzes colonial education regulations, curriculum documents, and statistical reports from the early twentieth century. The findings reveal that Volksschool was designed to produce a disciplined, low-skilled indigenous labor force through a restricted curriculum focused on basic literacy, numeracy, and practical knowledge. Archival data, however, indicate measurable increases in literacy rates and school participation, which facilitated access to printed media and engagement in early nationalist organizations. The study argues that while Volksschool reinforced colonial administrative structures and social stratification, it also unintentionally laid structural foundations for the growth of national consciousness and the subsequent development of Indonesia’s national education discourse.
