Abstract

This paper examines the historical and contemporary dynamics of the Blok M area in Jakarta as a public space undergoing a process of spatial, cultural, and symbolic transformation. Using Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space and then relating it to the discourse of urban memory according to Abidin Kusno, this study traces how Blok M developed from the modernist urban planning of Kebayoran Baru after independence to be the epicenter of youth festivity, then declined until it rose again through a place that utilized the memory of this area in the past. This study highlights how the politics of marginalization, cultural practices, and power discourses through infrastructure shape the meaning of an urban area in Jakarta. By analyzing historical narratives, visual artefacts, and urban planning policies, this article argues that changes in Blok M represent physical transformation and struggle over collective memory, middle-class identity, and power relations in the production of the contemporary urban space of Jakarta.

Abstract

Like men, objects also have a biography or life-course. Both biographies are intertwined, so when someone experiences a new life phase transition in their life-course, it will cause changes in the objects attached to them. This is also supported by the statement that the identity is performative. The headgear as one of the elements used by Minangkabau women also represents the identity of the wearer. This research was conducted in three stages: (1) data collection in the form of old photos and literature of Minangkabau women with headgear in Batipuh, Fort de Kock, and Payakumbuh, (2) data processing by analysis of the data in context space, time, and concepts, then (3) interpretation. The approach used is the Life-Course by Roberta Gilchrist and Biography of Things by Igor Kopytoff, which focuses on age and cultural markers. The research results show that the identity of Minangkabau women is reflected in their headgear, so major life transitions also lead to changes in these headgears, both in terms of form and material. This article also discusses the concept of age in Minangkabau women. It can be a reference for marking the age of Minangkabau women's headgear, examining its relationship to rites passages, like marriage.

Abstract

This study aims to generate knowledge about the social capital underlying the resilience of Starling Madura coffee traders in Jakarta. The idea that underlies this analysis is Bourdieu's social capital theory, in which social capital formed through networks is able to provide independence in overcoming social and economic problems. In addition to social capital, mobility strategies are utilized as opportunities by Starling Madura coffee traders in an effort to survive sustainably in the context of the informal economic order in Jakarta. This study provides data and analysis that strengthen the idea that Starling Madura coffee traders adopt distinctive social capital and mobility strategies so that they have a competitive advantage and resilience in the informal economy arena in Jakarta. The study findings reveal three main elements that complement each other as the social capital of Starling Madura coffee traders to survive in the dynamics of the itinerant coffee trade in Jakarta, namely the ability to build networks, the innate culture of Madurese ethnicity, and mobility strategies as temporary migrants and mobility in public spaces.

Abstract

The COVID-19 disease required everyone to go into lockdown. All activities and communications were carried out through mobile devices, driving online content consumption to double. The Instagram app, which is part of social media, increased its visits by 43 percent during the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. As users turn to social media, influencers are emerging as figures in shaping online interactions and trends. One of the popular French influencers is Léna Mahfouf (@lenamahfouf). As a global fashion influencer, Mahfouf often uses English transitions in her captions. This qualitative research will identify the types of code-switching found with Poplack's theory (1980) and the driving factors, with Hoffman's theory (1991). This research uses the qualitative method with a data collection technique and literature study. The results found that the most common code switching is intra-sentential switching (within sentences) because it is talking about a particular topic, namely fashion. French is identified as a Matrix Language (bilingual first language or dominant language) and English is an Embedded Language (language embedded in the switch). In conducting promotions with code-switching, the most prominent advertising appeals were found, which are the appeal to promote product features (feature appeal) and share the latest information (news appeal) related to fashion.

Abstract

This article is multidisciplinary study of cosmology, archaeology and astronomy of the Khmer stone temples in Sakon Nakhon. The study investigates of the temple’s architectural structure and environmental geography which related to the astronomical knowledge. The result of study found that the plan and structure of temples is influenced by the concept of Indian cosmology which has Mount Meru as the central axis. Buildings is signified as mountain or heaven with high and multi-layered base. The main building is symbolically important as the origin of power for the whole temple. The objects and positions are the transforming of cosmology concept into a form of architectural art for making sacred space and eternal security. The folktale of Phu Phek and Narai Cheng Weng conveys story of people challenging each other to build temples. Those people agreed to stop competing as soon as they saw the Venus rise to the sky. This indicates that the motion of celestial object is a significant aspect of life. The position of rising and falling of the sun and stars over the temples are indications of the solar calendar, zodiac signs and seasons. The knowledge of astronomy is essential for ancient life on cultivating seasonal crops and planting rice varieties that are sensitive or less sensitive to photoperiod. The sunlight shining through the statute has some implications for ancient ceremonies. Observing astronomical phenomena on the important days over the temples today is becoming a new tourism trend that creates economically beneficial and value for community.

Abstract

The craft of weaving is not merely an economic or artistic activity, but also plays a central role in the identity and social life of the Sumba community, particularly in the Kodi District of Southwest Sumba Regency. Women in Sumba play a crucial role in the practice of tenun ikat. They are not only the custodians of the skills and technical knowledge of weaving, but also the bearers of cultural values embedded in the process. This research aims to reveal the role of Sumbanese women as preservers of tradition amidst the currents of modernization. This study employs qualitative methods with a descriptive approach through data analysis from interviews, literature review, and documentation. This research explores three main aspects: (1) the meanings that Sumbanese women ascribe to their roles in preserving the tenun ikat tradition, (2) the use of tenun ikat as a medium of cultural identity expression, and (3) the impact of weaving practices on Sumba community’s social and economic dynamics. The findings indicate that Sumbanese women are not merely passive transmitters of tradition, but also active agents who transform and adapt tenun ikat practices to assert their identities and respond to socioeconomic changes. This study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the intersections between gender, tradition, and social change within the context of Indigenous Indonesian communities, while also highlighting the potential of local knowledge as a source of women empowerment. The implications of this research are relevant for developing cultural preservation policies that are more inclusive and sustainable.

Abstract

This study explains how discrimination was experienced by ethnic Chinese in Batavia in the early post-independence period in 1946–1950, with an emphasis on the influence of ethnic politics practiced by the Dutch East Indies colonial government. The purpose of this study is to analyze the pattern of discrimination against ethnic Chinese influenced by the legacy of colonial racial segregation. The method used is qualitative historical descriptive. The main sources of this study come from letters of complaint from the Chinese community in 1946–1949 in the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia (ANRI) and newspaper articles from 1950 from De Bredasche Courant, De Telegraaf, Indische Courant, and Het Nieuwsblad voor Sumatra. The results of the study show that discrimination against ethnic Chinese cannot be separated from the socio-political construction of the colonial era, and this legacy continues to influence inter-ethnic relations in the early days of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

As time progressed, various kinds of discoveries in the field of science emerged one by one, especially in the field of Astronomy and its "little brother" Astrophysics. This opens up opportunities for everyone to research things that have been researched from a new perspective, such as researching the Koran from a science and technology perspective. There are 310 instances in the Qur'an where the word "heaven" is mentioned, and within them, there are various statements regarding the nature, phenomena, and other things related to the sky. With the progress of technology, there is undoubtedly a gap in the interpretation and understanding of these verses. These verses can be examined in light of the discoveries of astronomers. In this research, the researcher examines verses related to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena by comparing classical and contemporary interpretations. The researcher briefly compares classical exegesis with contemporary interpretations. The research method in this study is qualitative, involving document analysis using Arabic linguistic and rhetorical theories. The researcher concludes that there are many verses in the Qur'an that can be studied from a scientific and technological perspective. As technology advances, more and more things align with the Qur'an as the gap in interpretation is filled by scientific discoveries.

Abstract

This study analyzes the symbols and discourses of power in three Purwa shadow puppet performances of the Murwakala play, styles of Surakarta, Yogyakarta, and Banyumas. The Murwakala play, centered on themes of purification and the transformation of power, contains a rich narrative for analyzing power dynamics through the interactions between characters such as Batara Kala (a form of destructive power), Batara Wisnu (a form of constructive power), and Batara Guru (a form of cosmic order). Using a qualitative approach, this research integrates Geertz's theory of cultural symbolism and Foucault's discourse of power to analyze how power is represented and negotiated in these performances. This study highlights the role of symbols, the classification of sukerta (individuals considered spiritually impure), and the performative elements of mantras, gending (musical compositions), and sinden (female vocalists) in constructing a powerful discourse. Additionally, the socio-cultural context of Javanese society, including rituals like ruwatan (cleansing ceremonies), is explored to understand its influence on the interpretation of power dynamics. The findings reveal distinct variations in power representation across the three styles. The Surakarta style emphasizes hierarchical and philosophical power structures, the Yogyakarta style showcases ritualistic negotiations of power, and the Banyumas style reflects a more egalitarian and communal approach. These differences underscore the adaptability of shadow puppetry as a living tradition that reflects and shapes socio-cultural values.

Abstract

The main thrust of this paper is to critically analyse the impact of the colonial land policy of the British on plantation agriculture in colonial Southwestern Nigeria. Although land legislation had been introduced as far back as the late 19th century, such as the Public Lands Ordinance of 1876 later renamed the Public Lands Acquisition Ordinance of 1917, it was vigorously pursued with the imposition of colonial rule in the period between 1900 and 1960. It argued that the introduction of land policy by the British in order to achieve her economic objective in Nigeria led to the commercialisation of rural land tenure in Southwestern Nigeria in particular. This English land law has continued to influence decisions concerning development of national land law, land policies and practices in post-colonial Nigeria. The methodological approach adopted in this paper is historical, thematic and qualitative. Sources of information include primary and secondary materials derived from archives, oral interviews and extant literature.
