Abstract

Bhikhu Parekh's conceptualization of multiculturalism offers a significant contribution to the theoretical and practical debates surrounding multiculturalism in highly diverse urban societies. In the realm of theory, Parekh's notions of multiculturalism provide an alternative discourse to the prevailing emphasis on individual and minority rights within liberal frameworks. Conceptually, Parekh categorizes cultural diversity in modern/urban societies into three forms: 1) subcultural diversity; 2) perspectival diversity; 3) communal diversity. Furthermore, he divides multiculturalism into several models, including isolationist multiculturalism, accommodative multiculturalism, autonomous multiculturalism, interactive multiculturalism, and cosmopolitan multiculturalism. This philosophical perspective on multiculturalism holds relevance in the context of managing ethnic and religious diversity in Indonesia. It underscores the emergence of awareness and 'sensitivity' to differences, starting with political and religious leaders becoming more attuned to the diversity of distinctions.

Abstract

This paper discusses the lives of Indonesian women within the confines of family and community amidst the strengthening of programs pertaining to women’s empowerment that were launched by the New Order administration from 1966 to 1998. The significant questions this research addresses are: 1) How was the empowerment programs conducted? and 2) How did the programs affect the lives of women within their families and communities. The results of this study showed that during the New Order administration, it became apparent that women lost their autonomy as burdens were stacked on them within their families and communities. Through empowerment programs, women were expected to be robust and independent; however, because the New Order programs were structurally designed to be heavily centralized, they instead reinforced the existing traditional social construction. As the women subsequently bore heavy burdens to thrive accomplishment in both familial and communal spheres, the introduced programs worked instead to repressively narrow women’s chances for autonomy. This historical research study utilized a variety of data in the forms of documents, both archival or memoir types.

Abstract

Parmalim is a belief system of the Batak people that predates the arrival of Islam or Christianity. This belief system was once prominent in the resistance against colonialism during the era of Sisingamangaraja XII, known as the Parhudamdam movement. This paper aims to examine how Parmalim, which has cultural ties to the Batak people, was once prominent in its historical reality and well-established by 1920 but faced rejection since independence despite not being critical of its traditions. The method used is the historical method. The collection of sources comes from the colonial and post-colonial periods. Verification is done by testing the validity of these sources. Meanwhile, interpretation is done through discourse analysis to reveal the meaning of various sources. The results show that there are differences in viewing Parmalim; that as followers of a belief system, they are rejected by adherents of Abrahamic religions, but their cultural traditions are recognized as a pure form of Batak culture.

Abstract

Broadly speaking, both laborers (or coolies) and slaves served as manual workers engaged in arduous physical tasks. However, distinctions arise not only from the historical origins of these terms but also from their definitions and conceptual frameworks. Key differences between laborers and slaves pertain to social status, identity, rights and obligations, interpersonal relationships with employers, and the nature of treatment received. Despite these fundamental differences, the practical reality often diverged. There are instances where laborers or coolies were treated in ways akin to slaves. This article aims to discuss and examine the extent to which such treatment was experienced by plantation workers in the Dutch colonial era, known as contract coolies, in the East Sumatra region. The issue is reconstructed and analyzed through a historical lens, spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, marked by the establishment of plantation centers in the Dutch East Indies by foreign entrepreneurs, including those in East Sumatra. Examination of available historical sources reveals that a portion of these contract coolies endured harsh and inhumane treatment, mirroring the experiences of slaves in various other contexts.

Abstract

Historical and Archaeological Potential Exploration Program in Barus, Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra that was carried out in 2017 had discovered Islamic cemetery complexes distributed throughout the area that have potential as destinations for archaeological tourism. This is supported by the data obtained from field surveys to each cemetery complex and focus group discussion conducted with local residents of Barus. This study focuses on exploring the potential of five cemetery complexes comprising the Mahligai Cemetery, Papan Tinggi Cemetery, Tuan Ambar Cemetery, Ibrahim Syah Cemetery and Tuan Machdum Cemetery to serve as archaeological tourism destinations. The process of spreading Islam carried out by the ulama or Muslim scholars and the existence of various types of tombstones are subjects of attraction for visitors. In the process of developing a cemetery complex as a destination, it is necessary to improve public facilities such as the construction of museums or galleries, places of worship, parking lots, and public toilets. Improving the human resources are also a necessity, which can be done by empowering the local residents.

Abstract

The focus of this research is on the strategies for preserving Seudati dance by the Pidie Jaya government in the era of disruption. Pidie Jaya is one of the regencies known for the Seudati dance, and many prominent Seudati leaders, known as "syeh," hail from this region. This research was conducted in Pidie Jaya Regency, with the location chosen due to the observed phenomenon that the youth are no longer interested in learning and performing Seudati. Data collection techniques in this research included participant observation, where the researcher directly observed the subjects to gather data. In addition to participant observation, in-depth interviews were also employed as a technique for collecting data. The results of the research indicate that the youth are abandoning Seudati because the digital world is more appealing than Seudati. Furthermore, learning Seudati is not as easy as learning other dances. In response to these challenges, the Pidie Jaya government has made efforts to preserve Seudati through several approaches. First, they utilize digital media itself as a platform for Seudati campaigns. They also give recognition to Seudati maestros, creating a positive impression for all parties involved. The government promotes Seudati in extracurricular activities through the Gerakan Seniman Masuk Sekolah. Additionally, they are reactivating village dance studios and providing spaces for expression, such as the Pekan Kebudayaan Pidie Jaya.

Abstract

This study looks at the wisdom of song lyricists during the celebration of hari raya, as depicted through Islamic values and thoughts. The research question revolves around the extent to which song lyricists produce works that embody Islamic values and thoughts in celebrating the triumphs of the Islamic community. The objective of this study is to identify the Islamic values and thoughts within ten raya songs sung by Siti Nurhaliza. The researchers utilised the conceptual framework of local wisdom that aligns with the goals and functions of Islamic artistic works. The aim of Islamic art is to bring Muslims closer to Allah, imparting values of monotheism, faith, morality, and camaraderie, advocating goodness and preventing evil. Therefore, any song lyrics embodying the values of monotheism, devotion, faith, ethics, or any elements promoting goodness and well-being are categorised as Islamic values and thoughts. The findings indicate that the lyrics of the raya songs not only entertain but also encompass ten Islamic values and thoughts. Among the values and Islamic thoughts are monotheism, gratitude, remembrance, soul purification, sincerity, and so on. The raya song lyrics can guide individuals towards salvation in this world and the hereafter.

Abstract

The emergence of a new elite in Minangkabau, flourishing in the modern milieu of Bukittinggi city at the beginning of the 20th century, represents a pivotal case study in the dynamics of colonial modernity. These individuals distinguished themselves in the economic and intellectual domains, as well as in the authentication of symbolic status through lifestyle emulation of the Dutch. However, their integration into the social circles of both traditional and modern communities in Bukittinggi was met with limited acceptance. This phenomenon underscores a society that embraced novel perspectives on the colonial world without succumbing to colonialist ideologies. This raises pertinent inquiries: who were these new elites? Why did they seek recognition within their modern context in Bukittinggi despite existing within a reality of modernity? And what was the nature of the inclusivity process for these new elites as modernists, without becoming colonialists? This discourse elucidates the process by which the new Minangkabau elite negotiated colonial modernity in Bukittinggi between 1905 and 1942. The findings reveal that the successful negotiation of colonial modernity by the new Minangkabau elite served as a mode of restraint as well as alienation from the social realities of Bukittinggi. Firstly, the negotiation facilitated broader participatory avenues for the new elite of Minangkabau in early 20th-century Bukittinggi. Secondly, it paved the way for them to independently craft mediums of intellectual and inclusive modernity. Thirdly, this negotiation led to the creation of new cultural forms that amalgamated three essential values of early 20th century Bukittinggi: tradition, colonialism, and Islam.

Abstract

This article discusses environmental postcolonialism practices and the impacts on the environment and indigenous people in William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and Fatris MF's Merobek Sumatra. Go Down, Moses describes the story of land grabbing from the Chickasaw and Choctaw communities and land conversion into cotton plantations in the Southern United States. On the other hand, Fatris MF's Merobek Sumatra captures the expropriation of the customs territory of Anak Dalam communities and land conversion to oil palm plantations in Sumatra. The writers apply the postcolonial ecocriticism approach by Huggan and Tiffin. The data is analyzed through the qualitative method and the result is presented using the descriptive method. The result of the analysis found that there are three practices of environmental postcolonialism in Go Down, Moses and Merobek Sumatra, which are: (1) Dualistic thinking on environment; (2) Land grabbing from indigenous communities, and (3) Nature exploitation. It is also found that these practices have negative impacts on nature and the indigenous people as represented in both books.
