Abstract

Tahlilan is a tradition deeply rooted in the culture of Indonesian Muslim society and is often regarded as an obligation to commemorate the deceased. For some people, tahlilan is not merely a religious activity but also reflects social dynamics in community interactions. Apart from its religious values, the tahlilan tradition also has social and economic impacts, particularly for families with financial limitations. This study employs a qualitative field research approach conducted in Desa Buluh Cina to examine tahlilan as a socio-religious practice and to explore how social pressure and economic burden shape its implementation within the community. The findings reveal that tahlilan in Desa Buluh Cina functions not only as a medium of collective remembrance but also as a site of social expectation, where participation is often driven by communal pressure rather than purely individual piety. Families with limited economic capacity experience a disproportionate burden, leading to a shift in the meaning of sincerity in worship from voluntary devotion to socially conditioned obligation. At the same time, adaptive practices emerge to negotiate between religious values and economic realities. These findings demonstrate that the transformation of tahlilan reflects broader socio-religious changes, where cultural continuity persists amid tensions between faith, social norms, and economic constraints.

Abstract

This study examines the historical background, development, and socio-cultural meanings of the rewang tradition in Rahuning Village, Asahan Regency, during the period 2019–2025. The research focuses on how this local tradition has adapted to social transformation and modernization while maintaining its communal values. Using a qualitative historical approach through interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study, this research explores the continuity and transformation of rewang within contemporary rural society. The findings reveal that rewang has historically functioned as a form of communal solidarity rooted in mutual assistance, kinship, and collective responsibility. During 2019–2025, the tradition experienced several shifts influenced by modernization, economic change, and evolving social interaction patterns, particularly in the organization and participation mechanisms of communal activities. Despite these transformations, the essential values of togetherness, cooperation, and social cohesion remain strongly preserved within the community. This study argues that the rewang tradition demonstrates cultural resilience by adapting to changing social conditions without losing its fundamental cultural identity, thereby reinforcing its continuing relevance in maintaining social harmony in Rahuning Village.

Abstract

This study examines the institutional development of the Fansuri Museum at the Bongal Site in Central Tapanuli during 2023–2025, with particular emphasis on community-based heritage preservation and museum governance. Previous studies on the Bongal Site have predominantly focused on archaeological discoveries and maritime trade networks. At the same time, the emergence of local museums as community-driven heritage institutions has received comparatively limited scholarly attention. This qualitative field study employed direct observation, in-depth interviews with museum administrators and local communities, and document analysis as its primary data sources. The findings reveal that the establishment of the museum was closely associated with public concerns regarding the loss of archaeological artefacts resulting from mining activities in the Bongal area. Between 2023 and 2025, the museum underwent gradual institutional development through more systematic collection management, expanded educational programs, and strengthened public participation in heritage-related activities. The study further identifies several persistent challenges, including limited conservation infrastructure, limited financial capacity, and limited availability of professional museum management. This research demonstrates that the Fansuri Museum functions not merely as a repository of historical artefacts but also as a community-based heritage institution that reinforces local historical consciousness and promotes cultural education within coastal communities.

Abstract

This study investigates Aksi Kamisan as a form of resistance to the collective forgetting of the Semanggi I Tragedy and examines its potential as a historical learning resource in schools. The research addresses how Aksi Kamisan preserves public memory of past human rights violations and how its values can be integrated into history education. Employing a qualitative social history approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and interpreted using Pierre Nora’s concept of sites of memory, Benedict Anderson’s theory of imagined communities, and the concept of mass action. The findings reveal that Aksi Kamisan functions as a non-physical site of memory that sustains collective remembrance through symbolic practices, ritualized public gatherings, and the continued presence of peaceful demonstrations. The black umbrella and the strategic use of social media have fostered a cross-regional imagined community grounded in moral solidarity and shared concern for justice. The movement also represents a distinctive form of mass action characterized by its peaceful, consistent, and memory-oriented nature. In the educational sphere, Aksi Kamisan offers significant value for teaching contemporary history and human rights by encouraging critical thinking, empathy, democratic awareness, and reflection on justice. The study concludes that Aksi Kamisan serves not only as symbolic resistance against forgetting but also as a reconciliation-oriented effort based on truth-seeking and equitable restoration.
