Abstract

Kasepuhan Citorek is centered in Citorek Village, Banten, West Java. The majority of the population are farmers. All harvested produces are only consumed as needed, so the excess rice is stored in a barn called leuit. Rice in leuits can last for more than ten years. This raises the question as to why the rice in leuits can last for so many years. This study aims to find out and explain the customary rules for using crops, the way to store and collect rice to and from leuits, and various aspects related to leuits, i.e. the accompanying traditions, forms, directions, materials, and procedures for making a leuit. This descriptive research used the qualitative approach. Results show that the high durability of rice stored in leuits is due to not only the leuit structure and shape, but also the prevailing rules for planting, harvesting, storing, and taking rice to and from a leuit. Moreover, there are also traditions such as rejecting reinforcements, taboos, and special prayers. In this way, the "correct" treatment and quality of rice are ensured from the start so that the rice stored in a leuit can last for years.

Abstract

The Pakpak ethnic group occupy two areas in North Sumatra, namely Dairi and Pakpak Bharat, and speak a language with its own set of characters called the Pakpak script. This study discusses the Pakpak script characteristics and writing materials, and provides a compiled description of the Pakpak community in the past based on written sources. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of the Pakpak script and provide a historical description of the ethnic group based on written sources. This study uses the exploratory inductive reasoning model. Results show that the Pakpak and Batak scripts share similar characteristics. Stones and tree barks were the two main media on which the script was written. Based on historical records, the Pakpak people practiced animism with a unique burial system in which corpses were burned and the ashes were then placed in stone grave containers called perabuen. The livelihood system of the Pakpak community was dominated by rice farming. There was also a social system consisting of permangmang (the “oldest” clan) and persinabul(the “younger” clan), each of which had to respect each other and obey the existing rules.

Abstract

Hip-hop culture and rap music originated from the African-American community that emerged around the 1970s in New York City. Hip-hop started to enter PRC in the 1990s and continues to grow among the younger generation. A hip-hop talent search show titled The Rap of China, released in 2017, became very popular, bringing hip-hop music and culture to the fore. Unfortunately, it must eventually face PRC government’s intervention in its development. This article discusses the influence of Chinese government's censorship policies on the development of hip-hop music and culture in China. This case study was conducted using the historical approach, with the primary data source being the recordings of The Rap of China from seasons 1 to 4. One of our most important findings is that hip-hop music and culture can survive and thrive amid the strict censorship of the PRC government.

Abstract

Fables typically attach human attributes to animal characters to convey moral messages and teachings, but a number of modern authors use animal characters in their literary works to criticize current sociocultural phenomena. One famous literary work that contains many forms of allegory about relationships between human and animal characters is O, a novel by Eka Kurniawan. Allegories in O are used to exhibit contradictions between humans and animals. Animal characters are presented as possessing human traits, bringing up the idea that animals can become ideal human beings (the concept of “being human”). Meanwhile, human characters are presented as possessing animal instincts, bringing up the idea that humans can become animals (the concept of “becoming animal”). The author also explores humanitarian issues by presenting animal characters who turn out to be more humane than humans.

Abstract

This research investigates how two movies, both entitled Ala Kachuu (2018 and 2002), represent ala kachuu, i.e. a tradition of bride kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan. Even though the Kyrgyz government has formally banned this practice since 2016, which is considered as a form of forced marriage, it still exists and is practiced by some Kyrgyz. This research used the qualitative method coupled with the mise-en-scène cinematographic technique. By using Stuart Hall’s representation theory (1997) and Mansour Fakih’s gender inequality theory (2008) as analysis tools, this study concludes that both movies represent ala kachuu as a tradition which promotes gender inequality. Moreover, they also represent it as a tradition that leads to various forms of violence against women in Kyrgyzstan.

Abstract

By applying the mixed research methods combining new historicism and digital humanities with AntConc-assisted distant reading techniques, this research aims to explore a reconstruction of Jakarta's history offered in From Batavia to Jakarta (1619–1999), a collection of poems by Zeffry J. Alkatiri. Results show that history can be reconstructed through the physical structure of narrative poetry represented by the dominant usage of pronoun "they" and intra-sentence conjunctions and prepositions such as "and", "in", and "the" instead of licentia poetica which can violate language rules. However, in the structural analysis, AntConc was not able to detect several linguistic aspects such as typography, figures of speech, metaphors, hyperboles, and personifications in several subchapters, so manual analysis was still required. Results show that the reconstruction of Jakarta’s history by Alkatiri revolves around four main themes, i.e. violence, the struggle against colonialism, Betawi and peranakan cultures, and Jakarta as a city, each of which is imbued with issues pertaining to identity, such as race, class, and urban lifestyle. This reconstruction also features the words "child" and "person" as markers of certain identities.

Abstract

Mail-order bride websites can be easily found in cyberspace. These websites sell Indonesian women to Chinese men as wives. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of women cyber-trafficking in mail-order bride websites, especially the background of mail-order bride websites and their impacts on the victims. This qualitative research used the case study approach and the socialist feminism theory to investigate three mail-order bride websites. This study concludes that the oppression of women on mail-order bride websites is caused by long-standing patriarchy in Indonesia and China reflected in daily practices, cultural manifestations, and literary works in both countries. Capitalism has also played a role in the emergence of mail-order bride websites. This paper suggests promotion of gender equality and eradication of human trafficking in order to minimize cyber-trafficking through mail-order bride websites.

Abstract

The article entitled "Practice of Postdramatic Theater in Indonesia", is an examination of the practice of postdramatic theater in Indonesia in the 1990s to 2000s in Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and even West Sumatra. This practice spawned generations that continue to grow and develop through aesthetics based on performance texts, outside of the conventional drama texts that we understand so far. Each theater community, regardless of whether it is postdramatic or not, has carried out an in-depth exploration and elaboration of all possible bodies, texts and artistic materials which are used as the main capital of performances. This study uses qualitative methods, with several theories, namely; historical theory and postdramatic theater theory. The process of composing, structure, and texture of postdramatic theater developed by Hans-Thies Lehmann is centered on the elements of text, space, time, body, and media depicted in the works of SAE Theatre, Grave Theater, Black-and-White Payung Theatre, Garage Theatre, and Black-White Art Community.

Abstract

This article offers an interpretation of performance artworks that serve as representations of local identity and values in the period of Indonesian new media artists. By emphasizing on local identity, this article seeks to reveal how artists respond to global challenges through artworks while capturing the aesthetics and values prevailing throughout Nusantara (the Indonesian archipelago). Additionally, this research offers an analysis of the timeline and geographic distribution of performers from the standpoint of the growth of new media art. Data were collected using a variety of methods, including observation, interview, and literature review involving both historical archives and literary works. Findings indicate that the two periods of performance art history, i.e. the early era and the digital age, are historically and geographically separated. Even if globalization has affected arts, local identity has never really disappeared during this time; in fact, it is growing stronger. Representations of the archipelago is a sign of the new emerging artists’ presence in the contemporary international art scene. The influence of local identity in artworks, however, is no longer debatable and can reflect an artist's self-identification.
