Abstract

The people of Kerinci have their own interpretation of the tiger. Tigers are considered sacred animals, with various meanings. However, on the other hand, tigers that attacked the people of Kerinci during the Dutch East Indies were still killed. This study aims to look at the relationship between the myths that developed and the attacks carried out by Sumatran tigers against people in Kerinci during the Dutch East Indies Government. With the approach of human and animal relations in the perspective of local traditions, this research analyzes the influence of local mythological narratives, the causes of tiger attacks on the community, and the steps taken to overcome these attacks. This research uses the historical method as a scalpel, with the flow of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation and historiography. Data were collected from various historical sources, such as colonial archives, ethnographic records, as well as local oral traditions about tigers. The research findings show that tiger myths associated with spiritual symbols play an important role in shaping people's perceptions of the species. However, attacks by tigers caused by disturbed areas of their habitat led to a reaction by placing tigers as a threat to security and interfering with the exploitation of natural resources.

Abstract

Trunajaya was a descendant of the Madurese rulers who fought the Mataram Sultanate. This resistance was triggered by the actions of Amangkurat I, ruler of the Mataram Sultanate, who in 1659 ordered the massacre of the ulama who supported Prince Danupoyo in an attempt to overthrow his power. In response, Trunajaya launched resistance in Surabaya, which was then under the control of the Mataram Sultanate, but his efforts were unsuccessful. This failure was caused by the support of Amangkurat I from the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), which forced Trunajaya and the rest of his troops to retreat to Kediri. While in Kediri, Trunajaya succeeded in building a new military force which became a threat to the Mataram Sultanate, so that the Mataram Sultanate together with the VOC tried to crush Trunajaya's resistance in Kediri. This research aims to explore further the military campaign carried out by the Mataram Sultanate and the VOC in crushing Trunajaya's resistance in Kediri. This research applies historical methods with a qualitative approach. Between 13 October and 15 November 1678, Mataram Sultanate troops and VOC troops had difficulty entering Kediri due to the strong current of the Brantas River. On November 25, 1678, they succeeded in entering Kediri City and attacked the Trunajaya fort. On the night of November 26, 1678, the Mataram Sultanate and VOC troops achieved victory, forcing Trunajaya and the rest of his troops to flee to Mount Panderman.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of the Keimin Bunka Shidosho (KBS) institution during the Japanese occupation in Indonesia, particularly in the realm of arts and culture. KBS, established by the Japanese government, aimed to use art as a tool of propaganda to support Japanese interests. Various art forms, such as literature, painting, music, drama, and film, underwent significant changes under the influence of KBS. This study uses the historical research method, which involves four key stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Through this method, the research investigates how artists navigated the tension between political control and creative expression. This research is important in understanding how cultural institutions were used to influence public sentiment and how artists responded to ideological pressure. The urgency lies in examining how, even under occupation and censorship, art became a space for negotiation, resistance, and the assertion of national identity. The findings show that while some artists worked within the framework of KBS, others resisted or embedded nationalist messages in their works. As a result, art during the Japanese occupation not only functioned as a propaganda tool but also as a means to foster resistance and national pride

Abstract

This research explores the historical development of slavery in Indonesia through Karl Marx’s Political Economy theory. It traces the evolution of slavery from the pre-colonial to post-colonial periods and its impact on Indonesia’s social, economic, and political structures. Using Marx’s perspective, the study reveals how slavery was shaped by capitalist economic systems that enabled exploitation, particularly during the colonial era. It emphasizes the connection between slavery and class conflict, where capital owners benefited from the labor of oppressed slaves. The study also highlights various forms of resistance against this exploitative system. By examining these historical dynamics, the research offers a deeper understanding of the roots of social and economic inequality in Indonesia. It contributes to broader discussions on social justice by showing how political-economic systems influenced oppression. Additionally, this research serves as a foundation for developing effective policies to combat modern slavery and promote social welfare. Ultimately, it stresses the importance of addressing structural inequalities to achieve justice and equality in contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

Dalam Sejarah konservasi di Indonesia, Kalimantan termasuk pulau paling akhir yang memiliki situs perlindungan alam. Hal ini disebabkan para pecinta alam maupun pemerintah kolonial Belanda menganggap bahwa Kalimantan adalah pulau yang masih memiliki tutupan hutan yang masih luas dan relatif tidak banyak mengalami perubahan lingkungan dibandingkan dengan wilayah lain di Luar Jawa. Akan tetapi, seiring dengan menguatnya gagasan tentang kepunahan dan eksotisme alam Kalimantan, kelompok pecinta alam mendorong pemerintah kolonial untuk membentuk situs-situs perlindungan alam di Kalimantan sejak tahun 1920an. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan politik ekologi, penelitian ini bermaksud untuk membedah wacana konservasi dibalik penetapan kawasan konservasi paling awal di Kalimantan Belanda. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan berita koran, bulletin organisasi pecinta alam kolonial, dan arsip kolonial sebagai sumber utamanya. Pemetaan dan pengidentifikasian situs-situs perlindungan alam paling awal di Kalimantan tidak hanya berguna untuk memahami wacana konservasi dalam Sejarah kolonial, tetapi juga penting untuk memahami dinamika territorial kawasan konservasi di Kalimantan dari waktu ke waktu.
