Abstract

This study examines the agrarian conflict between transmigrant farmers in Jambi Province and PT. Kaswari Unggul from a social-historical perspective. The research investigates how the New Order's transmigration policy in the 1980s shaped patterns of land ownership, social change, and agrarian tension in Sukamaju Village, East Tanjung Jabung Regency. Using a critical historical approach combined with qualitative case studies, the data were collected through in-depth interviews, contemporary media analysis, and literature review. The findings reveal that the transmigration program, initially designed to promote equitable population distribution and agricultural productivity, instead generated structural inequalities and land disputes between local communities and private plantation companies. The state's developmental agenda, framed within modernization and economic growth narratives, failed to protect the rights and welfare of transmigrant farmers. The persistence of agrarian conflicts illustrates the long-term social impact of the New Order’s policies, which continue to influence rural dynamics and peasant struggles in Jambi today.

Abstract

The Tegalsari Grand Mosque is a cultural heritage structure protected under Indonesian Law No. 11 of 2010; however, it has not yet been formally designated by the Government of Ponorogo Regency. A major renovation undertaken by the local government in 1978 substantially altered the mosque’s original form, resulting in the erosion of its distinctive Old Javanese architectural identity. This study investigates the historical background of the restoration of the Tegalsari Grand Mosque, the factors that motivated the restoration, and the outcomes achieved through this process. Specifically, the research addresses how and why restoration efforts were carried out to recover the mosque’s original architectural character. Employing a historical research method, the study follows the stages of heuristics, source verification, interpretation, and historiography, drawing upon both primary and secondary sources. The concept of architectural restoration serves as the principal analytical framework. The findings demonstrate that the mosque was founded in 1742 CE by Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari in Gendol Hamlet, Tegalsari Village, Jetis District, Ponorogo Regency, and originally embodied the characteristics of Old Javanese Mosque architecture. Restoration was initiated by the Cultural Heritage Preservation Agency between 1994 and 1997, following the gradual decline of the mosque’s identity as an ancient Javanese mosque. The restoration was implemented in three phases, encompassing the main prayer hall, the veranda and pavilion, and the courtyard along with its supporting structures, ultimately reaffirming the mosque’s historical and architectural significance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Barzanji tradition among Malay communities in Riau, Jambi, Rantau Parapat, Aceh, and Deli Serdang in order to examine variations in practice and local specificities from the perspective of Islamic anthropology. Employing a qualitative method with a comparative approach, the research draws on participant observation, in-depth interviews with tradition and religious figures, and documentary analysis of Barzanji texts and ritual practices. The findings indicate that although Barzanji is grounded in relatively uniform textual structures, its enactment is adapted to diverse social and cultural contexts. In Riau, Barzanji functions as a symbol of Malay–Islamic tradition legitimacy; in Jambi, it reflects cultural flexibility and hybridity; in Rantau Parapat, it reinforces Islam–Malay identity within a multiethnic society; in Aceh, it demonstrates ritual institutionalization and collective performance; while in Deli Serdang, it represents a synthesis of sultanate traditions and community-based religious practices. These findings position Barzanji as an adaptive form of cultural da‘wah and contribute to scholarship in Islamic anthropology and Islam Nusantara by illustrating how religious rituals operate as arenas for negotiating identity, cultural authority, and the continuity of local Islamic traditions.

Abstract

This article examines the socio-economic impacts of agrarian exploitation during the Dutch East Indies period by positioning irrigation systems as a central instrument of colonial agricultural policy. From the implementation of the forced cultivation system (cultuurstelsel) to the era of economic liberalization, the expansion of irrigation networks functioned not merely as technical infrastructure but as a mechanism of control over land, labor, and agrarian production among indigenous communities. This study employs historical research methods, including source collection (heuristics), source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, drawing upon colonial archival materials, technical reports of the Dutch East Indies government, and relevant historiographical studies. The findings reveal that while colonial irrigation development increased agricultural productivity and generated economic surplus for the colonial state, it simultaneously intensified labor exploitation, reinforced social inequality, and marginalized indigenous irrigation systems. The legacy of colonial irrigation infrastructure continues to shape contemporary water management practices and agrarian relations in Indonesia.

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.
