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.

Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of domestic violence against women in the Thai drama Tie Me (K)not (2022) using Johan Galtung’s theory of violence, which categorizes violence into direct, structural, and cultural forms. Through qualitative content analysis, the research identifies how the drama depicts these forms of violence, reflecting broader societal issues in Thailand. The findings reveal explicit instances of direct violence, such as physical and psychological abuse, systemic structural violence through institutional failures in justice and support systems, and cultural violence rooted in patriarchal traditions that justify gender inequality. The drama not only highlights these oppressive dynamics but also challenges them through the protagonist’s journey toward empowerment. By analyzing these representations, the study underscores the role of media in raising awareness about domestic violence and advocates for societal and policy changes to address gender-based violence in Thailand. This research contributes to discussions on media, gender studies, and violence prevention, emphasizing the need for cultural and structural reforms to protect women’s rights.

Abstract

This research explores the role of Korean dramas (K- dramas) as a catalyst for South Korea’s cultural diplomacy in Indonesia over the decade 2015–2025, emphasizing how major drama releases contribute to strengthening soft- power influence. In early March 2024, Netflix premiered the Korean drama “Queen of Tears,” which quickly rose to the top of the Non- English Global TOP 10 list for the week of March 25–31, recording 93.8 million viewing hours. The drama reached top- 10 rankings in 68 countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and India. This global achievement represents the culmination of a decade- long effort by South Korea to construct the perception and appeal of the Korean Wave (Hallyu), reinforcing its role as a powerful instrument of cultural diplomacy. Hallyu has expanded considerably as a strategic soft- power tool, enabling South Korea to improve international relations while simultaneously driving significant economic gains. The global consumption of Hallyu products increased South Korea’s GDP by 0.2% in 2004, equivalent to approximately 1.87 billion dollars, and continued to rise to 12.3 billion dollars by 2019. This economic impact demonstrates how South Korea’s cultural industries have become central to the nation’s diplomatic and economic strategies. Indonesia plays a key role in this development; according to a 2023 South Korean government survey, Indonesia ranked first among 26 countries in the consumption of Korean cultural content, reaching 35.5%. This high level of engagement reflects the deep cultural connection built through sustained exposure to K- dramas. This study applies both qualitative and quantitative methods to assess how South Korean cultural diplomacy particularly through K- dramas has influenced public perception, cultural affinity, and cross- sector economic impacts in Indonesia. Particular focus is given to “Queen of Tears” and its implications for South Korea’s tourism and beauty industries by late 2024, both from Indonesian audiences and the broader international market. The findings indicate that narrative appeal, emotional depth, and global digital distribution channels have significantly strengthened South Korea’s soft- power presence in Indonesia, contributing to increased cultural exchange and positive bilateral sentiment. Overall, this research concludes that K- dramas represent one of South Korea’s most successful cultural diplomacy instruments over the last decade, shaping cultural preferences and fostering deeper international engagement.

Abstract

Art archives hold a crucial role in the production of knowledge and the writing of art history. In Indonesia, however, the management and accessibility of art archives remain uneven, resulting in significant gaps within art historiography. This article examines how art archives function not merely as repositories of documentation, but as cultural practices and public knowledge infrastructures that shape the conditions of art history writing. Using a qualitative approach, this study combines literature review with case studies of selected archival initiatives in Indonesia, including the Indonesian Visual Art Archive (IVAA), Pusat Dokumentasi Salihara, and Dicti Art Laboratory. The findings reveal that the limited availability and accessibility of art archives contribute directly to the fragility of Indonesian art historiography, while independent and community-based archival initiatives have played a vital role in addressing this gap by activating archives through exhibitions, educational programs, and research-based curatorial practices. The article further highlights how these initiatives reposition archives from private or institutional storage into the public sphere, enabling new forms of interpretation and engagement. A comparative reflection on archival practices in Singapore demonstrates how the institutional integration of archives can strengthen research, collection development, and public access simultaneously. This study argues that strengthening Indonesian art historiography requires not only new scholarly interpretations, but also sustained attention to archival practices, governance, and access. By situating art archives as active sites of knowledge production rather than passive historical traces, this article underscores their significance in shaping more inclusive and sustainable narratives of Indonesian art history.

Abstract

Studies on political speeches in Nigeria have focused essentially on the speeches of political office inaugural speeches and speeches of political office holders, while not much appears to be done on the speeches of candidates who did not succeed in the election. Thus, this study undertakes a critical analysis of discourse and ideological strategies in the presidential campaign speeches of Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, in the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria. Mr Peter Obi's speech in Akwa Ibom State is purposively selected as our data for this study, and Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA), with emphasis on the “ideological square”, is our chosen theoretical framework. In all, eight (8) excerpts are selected from the speech as our data for the study, and they are analysed following van Dijk’s ideological square in his socio-cognitive approach. The findings reveal the significant role that language plays in expressing, changing, and reproducing ideologies in political campaign speeches and the role ideology plays in constructing the positive image of the self and the negative image of others.

Abstract

In the background ofChina's deepening economic engagement with Indonesia under the Belt and Road Initiative, increasing numbers of Chinese workers have entered Indonesian industrial zones, creating a workplace environment characterized by intensive cross-cultural interaction. While previous studies on cross-cultural adaptation have primarily emphasized macro-level cultural barriers and language difficulties, this research shifts attention to the micro-level communicative practices through which cultural adaptation is negotiated in everyday collaboration. Drawing on Howard Giles' Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT), this study conducts a qualitative analysis of TikTok videos depicting workplace interactions between Chinese and Indonesian workers particularly those labeled "Day 1 kerja sama orang China." Through analysis of high-engagement videos, the study identifies three communication strategies that Chinese and Indonesian workers employ under conditions of language barrier: technology-mediate translation, multimodal non-verbal communication, and creative expressions emerging from shared labor experience. These strategies operate not as sequential stages but as complementary forms of convergence through which both groups actively reduce communicative friction, sustain cooperation, and co-construct shared meaning. Findings indicate that cross-cultural adaptation among Sino-Indonesian laborers is not a product of unilateral assimilation but a cumulative result of repeated attempts to understand and be understood, leading to the emergence of pragmatic hybrid workplace expressions and a growing sense of shared identity. At the digital level, TikTok functions as a mediator that amplifies and reframes cross-cultural communication, normalizing everyday cooperation while simultaneously risking the reproduction of entertainment-driven stereotypes.

Abstract

This article examines the role of the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shinbun in covering the great East Japan disaster on March 11-13, 2011. This study uses a quantitative and qualitative approach, with content analysis methods and Gunther-Kress multimodal critical discourse analysis methods on 98 photos published by the newspaper. The results show that the newspaper published a special edition twice, with photos that did not show photos of the deceased victims, creating a distance between the reader and the subject. Most of the photos were taken from a distance, indicating a lack of interaction and showing that the victims did not need help. The theme highlights physical damage more than mitigation efforts or victims, with an imbalance in regional representation. Qualitative analysis shows that techniques such as aerial photography provide a broad picture of the impact of the disaster, but reduce emotional closeness. The flat facial expressions emphasize the resilience of the community. These findings confirm that the visuals in disaster coverage shape emotional narratives that influence public response, and the importance of coverage strategies in understanding and responding to disasters.
