Abstract

The increasing global demand for vegetable oils and biofuels is a determining factor in increasing oil palm expansion in Indonesia. The current studies of Indonesia's oil palm expansion focus on companies' large-scale land acquisition. In this process, often called land grabbing, small peasants are excluded from the acceleration of oil palm expansion. This research focuses on the rarely discussed topic of the participation of small peasants in the palm oil production chain. Employing ethnohistory, this research unfolds the impact of oil palm expansion on small peasants and indigenous people, especially those who expand their plantations into the forest in Jambi Province. This research aims to show how peasants and indigenous peoples respond to the commercial crops boom in Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper examines the Ritual Entas-entas as a purification ceremony for spirits in Wonotoro Village, Tengger. The ritual originates from a manuscript believed to aid in purifying the spirits of deceased family members. This ritual has been passed down orally. However, the manuscript serving as the reference for the ritual can no longer be traced. The issue is, how the sustainability of the Ritual Entas-entas in Wonotoro Village, Tengger? The research aims to demonstrate that the Tengger community possesses a collective memory strength and high adherence to traditional rules as part of everyday religious practice. The research utilizes ethnographic methodology along with the theory of collective memory from the Javanese religious perspective to address the problem and validate the research objectives. Initial findings indicate that: 1) The Ritual Entas-entas in Wonotoro Village is an oral tradition derived from written tradition; 2) The Ritual Entas-entas is a collective memory highly believed to possess the power to facilitate the purification of one's spirit to return to the Almighty Creator, thus it is deemed essential; 3) The Tengger community demonstrates a high level of devotion to the Almighty Creator. From these findings, it can be concluded that the Tengger community, particularly in Wonotoro Village, retains relevant ethnoscience to this day.

Abstract

The drama series You Are My Glory (Nǐ shì wǒ de róngyào你是我的荣耀), directed by Wang Zhi (王之), aired in 2021 and consists of 32 episodes. This research focuses on the first 14 episodes, which showcase the popularity of the game Honor of Kings-HoK (Wángzhě róngyào王者荣耀) through the interactions and dialogue between the two main characters, Yu Tu (于途) and Qiao Jingjing (乔晶晶). The integration of the popular online game HoK with the drama, starring top actors and actresses, represents a novel strategy that warrants further study. The analysis is conducted intrinsically by examining the characterizations of the two main characters in You Are My Glory and extrinsically by describing the social realities of urban Chinese society. This research finds that the portrayal of the HoK game's popularity through the interactions and dialogue between the main characters reflects contemporary conditions in China. Key findings include: the online game HoK is immensely popular among young urban Chinese; the game's popularity illustrates the advancement of information technology in China; Depicting the popularity of HoK through character interactions is a strategic element contributing to the success of the drama series You Are My Glory. This strategy of combining the online game HoK with the drama series aligns with the core goals of the Two Centenaries (Liǎng gè yībǎi nián 两个一百年) and the themes in Xi Jinping's speeches. It represents a new approach by China to bolster local cultural development and extend its soft cultural power globally.

Abstract

Branding as a cultural production is a phenomenon that involves the creation of narratives, symbols, and identities that affect individuals and social. Through the study of material culture, this article discusses the representation of a person's lifestyle and self-identification in meeting the needs of smartphones with the iPhone brand. Using the literature study method, social media data on the internet shows that there is a business service strategy in the form of savings or social gathering in buying an iPhone to consumers. The research results show that strong branding images built by Apple Inc. make people who economically are not in the upper middle class and cannot pursue these lifestyles (lifestyle and consumption) so that they take actions that can provide middle-class touch which can also be called virtual consumption. In this case, material culture can be understood as a giver of meaning and related, with strength, power, and self -construction.

Abstract

The attacks on October 7th, 2023 sparked a new wave of escalation between Israel and Palestine with global news coverage. Though there is coverage on both sides, many are calling out the Western news media for being biased in their reports. This paper explores the diction used by Deutsche Welle (DW) when reporting Palestine and Israel from December 1st to December 8th, 2023. The paper will use the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) theory by Norman Fairclough to process the data using a qualitative approach. The study aims to examine whether the diction used by DW journalists in their reports reflects DW’s stance of being impartial. The findings show that although DW tries its best to seem impartial, its reports are still heavily influenced by Germany’s stance in supporting Israel.

Abstract

This paper provides an explanation of the application of phylogenetic analysis, derived from biology, to be applied in archaeology with the aim of observing evolutionary phenomena, the development of ideas, and the dissemination of ideas from material culture. Phylogenetics will be applied to data on anthropomorphic motifs at five rock art sites in West Sumatra: Gua Lidah Air, Gua Runjo, Ngalau Tompok Syohiah, Batu Basurek, and Gua Basurek. The main stages in this analysis involve collecting representative data in the category of distinctive values from each rock art site. Distinctive values data is obtained through observation and identification of morphological characteristics, such as anthropomorphic postures, body shapes, foot patterns, hand patterns, attributes, and other morphologies, thus forming unique codes for each anthropomorphic rock art. This data is then analysed using phylogenetics to depict the relationships of anthropomorphic motifs at the five rock art sites in West Sumatra. The analysis results show similarities and differences in the depiction of anthropomorphic motifs among the rock art sites in West Sumatra, indicating the dissemination and development of ideas of anthropomorphic designs.

Abstract

In Indonesia Multatuli's Max Havelaar is regarded as a powerful indictment of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. Extensive research has explored the novel's historical context, social critique, and its influence on Indonesian nationalism, but less attention has been paid to the literary devices that give the novel its enduring emotional power. This paper fills this gap by examining how metaphor and simile presented in the dialogs found in the novel function as key instruments in shaping the reader's experience. Existing studies of Max Havelaar often delve into the novel's historical background, its scathing critique of Dutch colonial practices, and its role in igniting Indonesian nationalist sentiment. However, such analyses often underemphasize the specific literary devices employed by Multatuli and how they contribute to the novel's lasting impact. This paper offers a fresh perspective by delving into the novel's emotional core and demonstrating how metaphor and simile are not mere decorative elements but strategically employed tools. By analyzing the emotional impact of these figures of speech, this essay contributes to a deeper understanding of Max Havelaar's enduring power as a critique of colonialism and a testament to the human cost of oppression. This paper concludes that metaphors and similes create a profound connection between the reader and the suffering of the Javanese people. These figures of speech expose the brutality and hypocrisy inherent in Dutch colonialism, while simultaneously universalizing the human experience of oppression and fostering cross-cultural empathy. Ultimately, this analysis demonstrates how Max Havelaar's effectiveness as a critique hinges on its ability to forge strong emotional bonds with readers.

Abstract

Recently, social media like Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook have been widely used for tourism destination attractiveness. The research investigates how to create a tourism destination image on Instagram from a social semiotic perspective. Data comprises 17 photos of Blue Flame posted by 7 Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs). Applying the Visual Grammar framework by Kress & Leeuwen (2021), particularly the representational meta function, and Speech Functions by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014), this study finds how verbal texts support visual modes in creating the image of the Blue Flame at Ijen Geopark. Findings show that: (i) Narrative non-transactional action photos are more frequently used to promote the destination image; (ii) Statements delivering praise are most often used to give positive value to the destination; (iii) Narrative non-transactional action pictures attract more viewers’ attention; and (iv) Post with conceptual symbolic photos can evoke viewers’ interest to know more about the destination. Based on the findings, eventhough a picture is the main visual semiotic resource on Instagram, it needs support by verbal resources to make its meaning clearer for viewers. Practical implications of the study and directions for future studies are presented.
