Abstract

This edition of Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya Vol. 16 No. 1 (2026) presents a range of studies that affirm culture as a dynamic domain continuously shaped by processes of negotiation, transformation, and reinterpretation across diverse social, historical, and political contexts. The articles explore the creation and innovation of artistic practices as representations of collective identity, the dialectics between preservation and renewal of tradition, and the strategic role of culture in national development. In addition, issues of historiography and colonial legacy are examined through postcolonial perspectives that offer new readings of Indonesian art, while discussions on values and social structures address leadership grounded in local wisdom alongside critiques of institutional responses to gender-based violence. Ethnographic and archaeological approaches further enrich this issue by highlighting cultural practices, spaces, and material heritage as parts of complex systems of meaning. Overall, this edition underscores the importance of cultural studies as a critical instrument for understanding the past, interpreting contemporary realities, and shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Abstract

Amidst conservation challenges and a crisis in the regeneration of local arts in Pati, Barongan Baruno emerges as a new artistic creation from Pasinaon Studio in Kertomulyo Village. This research aims to uncover its creation process, form, and the embodiment of local values as a collective representation of the Kertomulyo community. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the study finds that Barongan Baruno is a product of conscious and participatory collective creation. Symbolically, it reflects the community's agrarian-maritime identity and Javanese-Islamic acculturation. As a collective representation, this art form serves as a medium for embodying local wisdom, such as the importance of intention, harmony, and unity. This research affirms that communities can actively create cultural products to represent their identity and values, offering a significant foundation for contemporary barongan studies.

Abstract

Bedhaya is a traditional Javanese court dance that embodies ethical, aesthetic, and sacred values. Following Indonesia’s independence, restrictions on its performance gradually eased, allowing the dance to be presented beyond the court and fostering its development within arts education. This shift generated a dialectic between cultural preservation and creative innovation, exemplified by Bedhaya Saptongkara, which integrates Balinese dance elements into the Javanese framework to produce an innovative form. Using a choreological approach and comparative method, this study reveals that although Bedhaya Saptongkara retains core principles of bedhaya, it does not fully adhere to the classical structure. Instead, it occupies the category of bedhayan, a derivative genre that reinterprets bedhaya principles within a new creative context. These findings affirm that tradition and innovation are not mutually exclusive; renewal can broaden cultural relevance while maintaining aesthetic roots

Abstract

Rising awareness of women's homicide in France has challenged the government to provide an adequate legal response, as feminist groups began advocating and expressing the discourse on women's homicide since 2014 through the term féminicide. The nature of this crime remains contentious in legal discourse, particularly given the significant rise in féminicide cases in 2019. This study, therefore, aims to examine the phenomenon of féminicide in France, exploring both the discourse surrounding it and the legal responses from the government. Drawing on 46 cases recorded in 2023 by the feminist collective #NousToutes, and with particular attention to relevant legal provisions and feminist advocacy, this research adopts a qualitative approach framed within Bartlett's feminist legal methods (1990) and Foucault’s concept of power (1976). The study argues that the French government has effectively excluded and alienated féminicide from the continuum of violence against women through Article 171 of law n° 2017-86 of 27 January 2017, which generalizes experiences of gender-based violence, aligning with the indifference and neglect of legal authorities that exacerbate violence against women. Consequently, the féminicide remains acute and trivialized.

Abstract

This article examines the repatriation of Pita Maha paintings from the 1930s to 1940s, which were returned by the Government of the Netherlands to Indonesia in 2024. Pita Maha, an artistic movement established in Ubud, Bali in 1936, holds an important position in art historiography as a key contributor to the development of modern Balinese painting. The repatriation of these works provides an opportunity to reconsider and expand existing historical narratives. Accordingly, this study aims to contribute to the enrichment of the historiography of modern Balinese painting. The research employs a historical method —encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography— combined with visual analysis of a selected sample of five paintings. These works were chosen based on their thematic, ideological, and formal characteristics. The novelty of this study lies in its use of newly repatriated paintings as primary historical sources. The findings identify three recurring thematic dimensions: (1) traditional narratives and Balinese cosmology, (2) everyday life and social traces, and (3) historical and political symbolism. The presence of socio-political elements within these works suggests that Pita Maha artists engaged not only with spiritual and aesthetic concerns, but also with the social and political dynamics of their time, reflecting a broader spectrum of artistic concerns than has been emphasized in existing scholarship. This study highlights the potential of repatriation to contribute to more nuanced and expanded readings of modern Indonesian art historiography.

Abstract

This article investigates Fole Mako, a significant traditional communal feast in Noemuti, North Central Timor, Indonesia. The event is analyzed in the context of its deliberate timing to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish and the consecration of a new church. Using the Ethnography of Communication framework, a detailed analysis is provided of the intricate communication practices, profound cultural meanings, and vital social functions embedded within this elaborate feast. Data for the study were meticulously collected through direct observation and engaged participation. The findings reveal that Fole Mako is much more than a mere banquet. It serves as a profound mechanism for strengthening shared communal identity, expressing collective gratitude, and demonstrating an extraordinary capacity to harmonize traditional customs with contemporary religious celebrations. This enduring cultural practice highlights the community’s agency in fostering social cohesion and cultural resilience, proving that traditions can thrive in an evolving social context.

Abstract

Leaders can be a key factor in determining whether a nation experiences a flourishing or declining period. However, numerous phenomena indicate that Indonesia is losing its great leaders. Based on this problem, this research aims to explain and describe the forms, meanings, and functions of catur piwulang as the concept of great leaders in the Javanese paradigm. A descriptive qualitative method has been used. The syntax consists of data collection, reduction, display data, and conclusion. Data validity was checked through the triangulation of theories, resources, and techniques. The forms of catur piwulang are 1) wewehono teken, teken wong kalunyon, 2) wewehono pangan, pangan wong kaluwen, 3) wewehono sandang, sandang wong kawudan, 4) weweh payung wong kudanan. The meaning of those forms are 1) leaders need to establish regulations or laws that reflect the truth principle, such as the Quran, hadith, and the truth value of their citizens, so that both governments and citizens can use it as an ethical principle to guide their thoughts, actions, and behavior, 2) leaders need to establish regulations to help their citizens fulfill basic needs, such as access to quality food, education, infrastructure, and a stable economic environment, 3) leaders need to enact laws to protect their citizens from various crimes and ensure that their citizens can practice their religions freely, 4) leaders must ensure that the laws or regulations are adequately enforced and correctly. The functions of catur piwulang are 1) the concept of teken, which refers to the truth principle, such as Al-Quran and hadith, and the truth value for wong kang kalunyon, can function as an ethical principle for governments and citizens to guide their thoughts, actions, and behavior, 2) the concept of pangan and wong kang kaluwen can function as advice for leaders to create regulations that fulfill the basic needs of their citizens, such as good quality food, education, infrastructure, and a stable economic environment, 3) sandang for wong kang kawudan, as one of the concepts in catur piwulang, can function as advice for leaders to make laws that protect their citizens from various crimes and ensure that their citizens can practice their religions freely, 4) payung for wong kang kudanan can function as advice for leaders to ensure that laws or regulations are adequately enforced and correctly.

Abstract

The concept of "beautiful Indies" (mooie Indië) is understood as a project of visual discourse transformation in the Dutch East Indies. This study highlights Raden Saleh's painting "Forest Fire", which represents a romantic manifestation while simultaneously challenging colonial narratives about nature and society in the Indies. The aim of the research is to reveal the trans-cultural visual strategies employed by Raden Saleh in constructing a counter-discourse to colonial representation. The study adopts a qualitative-interpretative approach using heuristic methods, source criticism, and montage analysis, contextualized within Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical framework. Montage analysis is applied by juxtaposing and reassembling visual, symbolic, and socio-political elements of the painting, producing new readings of colonial power relations. Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field, and capital are then used to interpret these montage findings, showing Raden Saleh's position as a Javanese artist shaped by European experience within the colonial art field. The results demonstrate that "Forest Fire" not only depicts nature, humans, and animals but also articulates a critique of colonial structures through symbolic construction. This work underscores the role of visual art as a medium capable of reshaping colonial representation by combining montage strategies with the social dynamics explained through Pierre Bourdieu's framework.

Abstract

The Indonesia Emas (Golden Indonesia) 2045 vision, which targets Indonesia's transformation into a developed nation, tends in practice to prioritize material development (economy, technology) at the risk of neglecting the nation's character-building. This article argues that the arts of the archipelago must be positioned as a strategic driver to address this gap. Using a literature study method and the conceptual frameworks of Soft Power and Creative Economy, this paper proposes a Cultural Roadmap based on three fundamental pillars. The first pillar is the Revitalization of Arts-Based Education to shape superior human resources with strong character and creativity. The second is the Downstreaming of the Creative Economy to build an authentic and competitive culture-based economic independence. The third is Global Cultural Diplomacy to project the nation's positive influence and image on the international stage. The analysis concludes that these three pillars must be implemented not as separate programs, but as an integrated policy ecosystem where creative human resources fuel economic innovation, and these creative products become the ammunition for effective diplomacy. Integrating this ecosystem into the heart of national planning is a necessity to realize a Golden Indonesia 2045 that is not only materially wealthy but also civilized and noble.
