Abstract

Alienation as a novelty in archaeological research which in this study aims to explain how mentally illness patients are buried at Lawang Mental Hospital as an alienation and how the representation of the graves of patients with mentally illness. Alienation is a form of experience by individuals who are marginalized from society, one of which is people with mentally illness. Alienation in mentally illness does not only occur during their lifetime, but continues until they die. Lawang Mental Hospital, built in 1884, is the only mental hospital that has a special cemetery for mentally illness patients. The method used focuses on observation and documentation of 59 graves consisting of several forms. Based on the data of the existing graves, it shows that there is a continued alienation of mentally illness, even after death. This is based on the location of the graves far from the community, the lack of order in the arrangement of the graves, and the simple depiction of the shape of the headstones and the minimal use of inscriptions.

Abstract

Between the Sahara Desert and the Sudanese Savannah, the Sahel region has become a contested geopolitical space. This study analyses how France is reconstructing its hegemony following its military withdrawal through the rhetoric of Emmanuel Macron (2021 and 2025). Using Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1995) and the theory of spatial production (Lefebvre, 1974), this study examines how the discourses of “partnership” and “security” are employed to maintain French influence. Qualitative methods were applied to Macron's speeches, French media, and statements by former presidents of Sahel countries. The results show that France is redefining the Sahel as a ‘crisis zone’ requiring external management, through a shift in the military's role into the economic and symbolic spheres. Even with a diminished military footprint, France’s hegemony continues to be articulated through discourse. Thus, it demonstrates how discursive strategies uphold neocolonial power after physical disengagement. This study contributes to postcolonial and geopolitical studies by showing that hegemony can be maintained through discursive strategy, even after the decrease in physical presence.

Abstract

This study examines how the Instagram account @tamansarimelawan plays a significant role in preserving collective memory and the identity of marginalized groups through digital archives. In the context of the Taman Sari urban village community, which resisted land eviction for the construction of row houses in Bandung, this research explores how Instagram as a social media platform contributes to the formation and maintenance of collective memory and community identity. Using content analysis of the @tamansarimelawan account, the study investigates the mechanisms through which social media functions as a digital repository, a medium for fostering a sense of belonging and continuity, and as a form of resistance among community members. The study employs Halbwach’s (1992) concept of collective memory to emphasize how collective memory is constructed and maintained within a community. Halbwach (1992) argues that memory is not only an individual phenomenon but also a collective one shaped by social context and interactions. This perspective is highly relevant for understanding how the @tamansarimelawan account documents and preserves the collective memory of eviction events experienced by the Taman Sari community. The account is analyzed through its visual content and narrative construction, including the documentation of photos, videos, and hashtags. These elements are examined to understand how digital archives contribute to the formation of a resistance identity and political awareness among both the community and the account’s followers. The posts shared on the account serve not only as records of events occurring during the eviction period but also as a medium to express grievances, aspirations, and collective solidarity among residents. The digital archiving conducted by @tamansarimelawan serves a dual function: it facilitates a voice for resistance and the building of solidarity within the community, while simultaneously documenting and broadcasting eviction events to a broader audience. This demonstrates that social media, through platforms like Instagram, can be a powerful tool for preserving the collective memory and identity of marginalized communities.

Abstract

This study examines the mediating role of consumer trust in the relationship between cultural factors and the purchase intention of Chinese Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Jakarta, Indonesia. While global EV adoption is often analyzed through techno-economic lenses, this research addresses a critical gap by investigating the under-explored socio-cultural dimensions that shape consumer behavior in emerging markets. Framed by an integrated theoretical approach combining Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and Reception Theory, the study explores how local cultural values such as collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and social status filter the acceptance of Chinese EV technology. A qualitative case study methodology was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with nine key informants from multi-sector backgrounds (consumers, dealers, manufacturers, and government representatives). Thematic analysis was conducted to interpret the data. The findings reveal that while Jakarta consumers perceive Chinese EVs as useful due to economic and environmental benefits (perceived usefulness), adoption is significantly hindered by low perceived ease of use, primarily due to inadequate charging infrastructure and service networks. More importantly, cultural factors profoundly shape purchase intention: collectivist values emphasize social validation and peer influence, while high uncertainty avoidance fosters scepticism towards foreign product quality and safety. Consumer trust, built through social proof, hands-on experience, and reliable after-sales service, emerges as a critical mediating variable between these cultural perceptions and the final purchase decision. The study concludes that the acceptance of Chinese EVs in Jakarta is not merely a function of technological utility but a complex negotiation within the local cultural context. Effective market strategies must therefore adopt a multidimensional approach, integrating transparent quality assurances, culturally resonant communication, community-based marketing, and supportive government policies to build trust and align the product with local social values. This research contributes to cross-cultural marketing and technology acceptance literature by emphasizing the centrality of trust and cultural reception in the adoption of innovative foreign products in emerging markets.

Abstract

Phnom Penh was once known as the “Paris of the East,” serving as a major urban center in Indochina during the French colonial period. Colonial authorities shaped the city through functional zoning, planned street networks, and European-style architecture, all of which reflected hierarchies of power embedded in urban space. Despite the extensive destruction caused by the Khmer Rouge regime and subsequent postwar reconstruction, traces of colonial urban planning and architectural heritage remain clearly visible in the contemporary development of Phnom Penh. This study adopts a literature-based approach combined with historical analysis, spatial analysis, and architectural case studies to examine how colonial legacies have been preserved, transformed, or disrupted in the process of modern urban development. The findings indicate that key road axes and several colonial-era buildings have been retained or adaptively reused, particularly for tourism and commercial purposes. At the same time, market-oriented modernization has contributed to displacement, land-use conversion, and the widening of social inequalities within the city. As a result, the image of Phnom Penh as the “Paris of the East” has gradually faded, while elements of colonial heritage are being reappropriated as cultural assets, instruments of city branding, and symbols of new social status. This study argues that colonial legacies should be reconsidered not merely as remnants of the past, but as active components in an ongoing dialogue shaping a more inclusive urban identity for the future.

Abstract

Addressing the difficulties of sustainable development, the Jakarta Industrial Estate Pulogadung encounters the challenge of becoming more inclusive in constructing infrastructure for walkers by creating paths that are friendly for pedestrians As walking serves as an important sustainable and healthful means of transport, having pedestrian pathways can enhance how the public views pedestrian accessibility in their workplace. This, in turn, can promote the use of more eco-friendly public transport options. This research aims to explore how the public views pedestrians in industrial zones, with the goal of promoting spaces that are friendly to walkers. The study utilized a quantitative method paired with a mixed-methods analysis, which comprised observations, interviews, surveys, and spatial assessments. The Walkability Index measured at JIEP was recorded as 62.46, which is categorized as "waiting for walking." This designation suggests that the JIEP Industrial Area holds significant potential for transformation into an area that supports pedestrians, particularly by incorporating green corridors and adequate facilities along roadways. The objective of this article is to highlight the significance of designing industrial areas to create a more comfortable and pedestrian-friendly atmosphere, informed by observations of pedestrian experiences.

Abstract

As one of oral traditions acknowledged in Woloan and Rurukan, Tomohon Minahasa, the songs of mahzani have long been sung in these two areas. As we understand that oral tradition would disappear from its community when it has lost its real function, this particular oral tradition has developed into staged performances. Songs of mahzani that had been practiced for generations as part of the mapalus traditions in the last decades has significantly decreased in line with the change of lifestyle of the people who practice it. Using qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, this article is to delve into the shift of function of mahzani songs. Data are drawn from two village: Woloan and Rurukan in Tomohon Minahasa.
<i>GOTONG ROYONG</i> AS POLITICAL PRAXIS: COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY AND DEMOCRATIC ACTION Adian, Donny Gahral

Abstract

This research explores gotong royong, an indigenous Indonesian concept of mutual cooperation, as an alternative political culture in the face of liberal individualism and capitalist competition. Drawing from the philosophical legacy of Soekarno, Indonesia’s founding president, the research situates gotong royong not merely as a traditional value, but as a dynamic political principle grounded in tolerance, solidarity, and social justice. Soekarno’s vision of democracy transcends procedural liberalism by emphasizing equal capabilities, not just equal opportunities, thereby addressing the structural and cultural barriers that hinder political participation for marginalized citizens. Through a comparative lens, the article juxtaposes the atomizing effects of liberalism—where personal rights become barriers to collective action—with gotong royong as a praxis of ethical responsibility and collective agency. It integrates Hannah Arendt’s distinction between labor, work, and action to highlight how gotong royong embodies a form of praxis that reveals the plurality and interdependence of human existence within public life. In this view, politics is not a battlefield of interests but a space for enacting shared values and sustaining communal well-being. The research also grounds its arguments in practical examples, notably the tanggung renteng cooperative model, a community-based economic system rooted in shared decision-making, risk-bearing, and responsibility. This system reflects the ethical dimensions of gotong royong, where mutual trust and empathy guide economic relations and prevent default through collective discipline. The model illustrates how economic participation can be democratized through cultural mechanisms rather than imposed market logic. Ultimately, the research contends that gotong royong is not a nostalgic relic but a forward-looking political imagination that revitalizes public life. It offers a philosophical and practical response to the erosion of social capital and the commodification of political space. As a living principle embedded in Indonesia’s constitutional ideals, gotong royong affirms that genuine political emancipation must be rooted in human solidarity and shared responsibility. The revitalization of this principle is essential for cultivating rational, empathetic, and initiative-taking citizens who act not out of self-interest, but for the collective good.

Abstract

This study traces the semantic transformation of the lexicon ukhti within Indonesia’s digital landscape. The term ukhti ( أُ خْ تِي ), derived from Arabic and meaning “my sister,” was initially used as a form of biological kinship address, later evolving into a fictional kinship address. However, in its current usage, the term increasingly conveys exclusivity and produces stereotypical perceptions of Muslim women. This study focuses on the use of ukhti on Indonesia's Social Media Platform X, examining how its meaning has become more specific and how this shift affects the representation of diverse Muslim female identities. Therefore, this study uses a qualitative approach, based on a literature review and a limited collocation analysis of social media posts on the X platform in Indonesia from September 2023 to June 2025. The data analysis is based on the lexical-semantic theory proposed by Abdul Chaer and the sociolinguistic identity theory articulated by Rob Drummond and Erik Schleef. The findings indicated that the use of ukhti maintains a positive kinship connotation within online Muslim communities, such as the Muslim Support Muslim Community. However, the emergence of collocations such as “ukhti nanggung” and “ukhti bau” reflects negative connotations that diverge from the term’s original meaning, including instances in which ukhti is misappropriated to disseminate adult content. These findings suggest that the meaning of ukhti on Social Media Platform X has undergone semantic change due to the platform’s dynamic nature and user interactions, resulting in complex implications for the representation of Muslim women’s identities.
