Core Subject : Humanities,
Humaniora focuses on the publication of articles that transcend disciplines and appeal to a diverse readership, advancing the study of Indonesian humanities, and specifically Indonesian or Indonesia-related culture. These are articles that strengthen critical approaches, increase the quality of critique, or innovate methodologies in the investigation of Indonesian humanities. While submitted articles may originate from a diverse range of fields, such as history, anthropology, archaeology, tourism, or media studies, they must be presented within the context of the culture of Indonesia, and focus on the development of a critical understanding of Indonesia’s rich and diverse culture.

Abstract

This study examines the discursive transformations and contested meanings of belis, a dowry tradition in East Nusa Tenggara, by analyzing how it is debated, redefined, and reinforced in digital spaces. Using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, it interrogates the power relations, regimes of truth, and subject positions articulated in public discourse surrounding belis. Traditionally, belis served as a social contract symbolizing the union of two families through marriage and reinforcing communal bonds through the exchange of valuable items from the groom’s family to the bride’s. However, contemporary interpretations of belis have shifted under social, economic, and cultural transformations.. Drawing on data from YouTube broadcasts and user-generated comments, this research explores how digital platforms mediate public discourse on belis. The analysis reveals that online debates increasingly frame belis through the lens of economic logic and social prestige, often prioritizing material value over its metaphysical and symbolic significance. This discursive shift reflects a broader cultural reconfiguration in which traditional practices are questioned, redefined, or reinforced within digital spaces. Ultimately, the study argues that the transformation of belis illustrates how digital discourse contributes to the rearticulation of cultural meaning, exposing tensions between heritage and modernity, and between symbolic reciprocity and commodification.

Abstract

This study explores how the Bugis emerged as a distinct ethnic group by examining the historical, cultural, and social processes that shaped their collective identities. It further investigates the defining features of Bugis’ identity and how ethnic boundaries are constructed, maintained, and negotiated over time. The research were conducted inBugis diaspora areas in Pagatan, South Kalimantan and Jakarta, as well as in several Bugis regions in South Sulawesi—namely Barru, Pangkep, and Bulukumba Regencies—between April and September 2021. This study demonstrates that Bugis’s development as an ethnic group was exclusively connected to the Cina Kingdom in Sulawesi. The expansion of this local kingdom contributed to the formation and shaping ofthe Bugis identity in the ancient period. However, Bugis identity developed and transformed over time; from the tradition of La Galigo it became a Muslim society. In addition, migration and commercial culture helped construct their identity. Re-examining ethnic identity from a long-term historical perspective is important in order to move beyond cultural essentialism, which tends to ignore the shifts and changes as a result from cross-cultural encounters. Ethnic boundaries are not immutable, but are contextually deployed and relationally defined

Abstract

The Second Lead Syndrome, popular among Indonesian K-drama viewers, involves favoring the second lead over the main character in love triangles, sparking audience contestation. Start-Up (2020) is one of the K-dramas that sparked it and divided its audience into Nam Do-san Team and Han Ji-pyeong Team based on differences in audience views, so this descriptive qualitative research was conducted to describe Han Ji-pyeong Team's reception of romantic relationships in Start-Up. This research combines Hall's Reception Theory, the participatory audience concept, and Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love. Research data was obtained through in-depth interviews with six informants representing Han Ji-pyeong Team.The findings indicate that the informants perceive the romantic relationships in dominant-hegemonic and negotiating positions. They support the second lead character, Ji-pyeong, by negotiating the romantic relationships shown. They acted on this reception by expressing emotions, preferences, and narrative interpretation on social media, driven by their preferences, identification, and parasocial relationships with the second lead. Their actions become a collective activity contributing to forming a popular culture, the second lead syndrome. This study explores audience reception of romantic relationships in K-dramas and their participation, setting an academic precedent for the second lead syndrome in Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study examines the key strategies behind the success of community-based tourism in Bejiharjo Village, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta which has become a model of good practice compared to other less successful initiatives. Using a phenomenological approach, this study draws on two years of the researchers’ involvement in a local tourism development program. Through in-depth interviews and sustained engagement between 2022-2024, the research explores how the community articulated its aspirations and developped tourism strategies from the ground up. Findings shows that community initiative plays a critical role in encouraging the community to take ownership and lead tourism development. This challanges the assumption that community empowerment must be externally driven and highlights how meaningful local participation can lead to more sustainable and socially grounded outcomes. The study identifies six key strategies of community empowerment: (1) initiating, (2) networking, (3) mobilizing, (4) building trust, (5) protecting, and (6) harmonizing (integrating efforts for long-term sustainability). These findings provide insights for the government and stakeholders in tourism development to plan better programs resulting in more benefits for improving community welfare.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how social support and social relationships are perceived and experienced by university students who consume alcoholic beverages on campus, and how these factors relate to expressions of aggressiveness. The research is motivated by the growing concern over aggressive behaviors among students involved in alcohol consumption, as well as the limited number of studies that address this issue from a social and cultural perspective. Previous research has predominantly employed quantitative approaches or focused on individual psychological factors. To address this gap, the present study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach with an interpretivist orientation, aiming to uncover the meanings and lived experiences of students. Eight active students from the Gunungsari campus of Universitas Negeri Makassar were selected as participants using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that forms of social support emotional, informational, and instrumental as well as social relationships characterized by cooperation, accommodation, and assimilation, shape how students interpret and respond to situations involving alcohol use and aggression. These results suggest that aggressive behavior is not solely an individual response but is deeply embedded in the surrounding social context. This study contributes to the literature on student behavior and mental health from a socio-cultural perspective, particularly within the context of higher education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This book serves as a significant contribution to the discourse on literary criticism in Indonesia by effectively addressing the gaps left by existing critical works. One of its strengths lies in its balanced analysis, which considers both structure and content while engaging in a thorough dialectical exploration of internal and external elements. Anwar’s writing style stands out for its flexibility, benefiting from his unique perspective as both an academic and a literary author. This dual identity allows him to maintain intellectual rigor without succumbing to the constraints of overly formal academic language.
