Abstract

This study examines the history, development, and humanitarian social movement model of Lembaga Dai Peduli from 2014 to 2025. Founded by alumni from the Middle East, the institution integrates da’wah and social action through the principles of dakwah bil hal (action-based preaching) and idkhalus surur (bringing happiness to others). The movement focuses on two main areas: international humanitarian assistance for Palestine and domestic programs, including disaster response and the empowerment of dai in Indonesia. The distinctive feature of this movement lies in its positioning of dai not merely as religious messengers, but as multidimensional humanitarian actors operating at the grassroots level. Employing a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, this research reconstructs the historical trajectory of the institution, analyzes its strategies for integrating da’wah and humanitarian work, and examines its contributions to religious social movements in Indonesia. The findings indicate that Lembaga Dai Peduli has developed a hybrid model of faith-based humanitarian activism by institutionalizing grassroots-oriented dai empowerment and fostering transnational solidarity for Palestine. This model strengthens the role of religious actors within contemporary humanitarian social movements in Indonesia. These results contribute to broadening the analytical framework of religion-based social movements while also offering practical insights for the development of similar grassroots initiatives.

Abstract

As a small town with the nickname Little Chinese or “Petit Chinois” in Java Island of Indonesia, Lasem has undergone a transformation due to political transitions, changes in economic patterns, and modernization which have changed its identity in general. Chinese settlements that have existed since the 14-15th centuries have become historical evidence of the existence of Chinese communities who migrated to Southeast Asia, which initiated the birth of the “Peranakan” culture. In 2021, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing of the Republic of Indonesia revitalized the Lasem cultural heritage site with the aim of protecting historical values and infrastructure both related to Chinese culture and Islamic culture in Lasem. This paper reviews the cultural elements of Chinese culture that were lost in Lasem, and which are still intact, as well as reviews the positive and negative sides of the government's revitalization project implemented in the Little Chinese of Karangturi block and Islamic cultural heritage in the city square area. The result was that several physical cultural heritages had lost their authenticity due to revitalization that was not in accordance with the 2021 detailed engineering design (DED). However, marketing through social media has increased tourism activities through branding Little Tiongkok heritage and several festival celebrations in Lasem have attracted thousands of visitors.

Abstract

This study examines the Sri Kayun dance, which has served as the official welcoming dance of Kulon Progo Regency since 2022. This research aims to identify, describe, and interpret the symbolic meanings embedded in the movements of the Sri Kayun dance, as well as the cultural values that underlie it. The study is guided by a semiotic approach to explain how symbolic meanings are constructed and represented within the performance. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, literature reviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the name "Sri Kayun" embodies a philosophical concept of inner and outer beauty that functions not merely as an aesthetic marker but as a normative cultural ideal for the community. The dance movements illustrate respect, humility, social harmony, and cooperation. The study argues that the Sri Kayun dance operates as a symbolic system through which cultural identity and social values are continuously constructed and communicated. Symbolic meanings are embedded in every element of the performance, positioning it as a cultural text that requires interpretation.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of historical knowledge in Medan City through the interrelated dimensions of production, reproduction, and commodification within a contemporary context. The expansion of digital media and the creative economy has displaced the exclusive authority of academic institutions, enabling historical knowledge to circulate through non-academic actors, institutional platforms, and commercial practices. Employing a qualitative design, the research utilizes critical discourse analysis to investigate digital content on YouTube and Instagram, alongside commercial representations of Medan’s history, with a focus on content creators, government-managed accounts, and the local culinary industry as primary empirical sites. The analytical framework integrates Michel Foucault’s concept of power–knowledge relations and Pierre Bourdieu’s notions of habitus and cultural capital, allowing for a nuanced interpretation of how authority and meaning are negotiated. The findings indicate a decentralisation of epistemic authority, wherein historical narratives are increasingly shaped by visuality, participation, and popular mediation, thereby cultivating new forms of habitus in the public understanding of the past. This transformation reconfigures the epistemic structure of history, blurs the boundary between intellectual and popular history, and calls for sustained interdisciplinary engagement to safeguard scientific integrity.

Abstract

This article examines the representation of Hindu–Buddhist heritage in the Museum Situs Kotta Cinna and its role in shaping memory politics and early historical identity in North Sumatra. The study asks how Hindu–Buddhist remains are curated and narrated, and what form of historical identity is constructed through these practices. Using a qualitative approach that combines site observation, exhibition analysis, archival research, and interviews with museum stakeholders, the study applies theories of memory and identity to interpret curatorial strategies and narrative framing. The findings show that the museum selectively presents Kotta Cinna as evidence of an early cosmopolitan polity shaped by transregional networks while integrating it into contemporary local and national identity discourses. This process reflects how archaeological objects are transformed into symbolic capital for regional pride and historical legitimacy. The study contributes by demonstrating that museum representation functions as an active mechanism of memory production rather than mere preservation, offering a clearer framework for understanding the role of heritage institutions in constructing early Sumatran identity.

Abstract

This study examines the spatial transformation of a region from an agrarian area into a centre of religious significance. The material object of this research is Tarutung City, which, based on its etymological origin, should have been recognised as the “Durian City.” However, over time, Tarutung has become widely recognised as a religious tourism destination. This transformation is closely linked to the activities of German missionaries since the 1860s, who established Tarutung as a central hub of zending activities in the Silindung region. From the period of Indonesian independence to the present, Tarutung has been predominantly identified as a destination for spiritual tourism, while its original association with durian has gradually faded. This study employs the historical method to trace the socio-cultural and physical changes that illustrate the city's transition from an agrarian landscape into a centre of Protestant Christian spirituality. The preliminary assumption suggests that Tarutung was strategically managed within a colonial regional policy aimed at separating Islamic movements in Aceh and Minangkabau. This spatial policy not only persisted but became further consolidated after Indonesia’s independence, positioning Tarutung as a prominent Protestant religious centre that continues to endure to the present day.
