Abstract

The story of Jaka Tarub is one of the most well-known traditional Javanese narratives, having existed for centuries. The story of Jaka Tarub is a continuation of older traditions: tales, legends, and babad. In other words, this indicates that Jaka Tarub is not just a standalone story but part of a long, deeply rooted cultural and literary Javanese tradition. Analyzing the story of Jaka Tarub offers a small window into Javanese culture and traditions, partly because of the rich symbolism, cultural values, norms, and morals it conveys.This article aims to explore the cultural value, storytelling, and legacy of Jaka Tarub, both tangible and intangible, within Javanese culture. An ethnographic approach is used to do this, studying the stories in their cultural context to understand their social, historical, and symbolic meanings. Literature review, cultural studies, and field research, including interviews and oral traditions, support the analysis.The findings indicate that the Jaka Tarub story reflects the values and norms of Javanese society, is rich in cultural value, a tangible and intangible heritage, and is essential to Javanese culture. Moreover, it can contribute to education, self-esteem, cultural awareness, and traditional values and norms.

This study aims to analyze figures of speech and imagery in the geguritan anthology in the GEGURITAN TEMBANG ATI Facebook group. This study uses a stylistic approach with a qualitative descriptive method. The data sources for the study were two geguritan entitled "Ibu" by J. Sumarto and "Ora bisa kasawang" by Van Ndeplok. The data collection technique used direct analysis, recording, and document analysis related to the data flow model of analysis technique.

Abstract

This research shows that the authority of a dominant group that has power can lead to the practice of hegemony in a society. It is like what happened at the tomb of Mount Kendeng in the folklore and myth in the tomb of Mount Kendeng in Mojo hamlet, Wates village, Simo district, Boyolali regency, there is a practice of power hegemony carried out by the leader in Mojo hamlet in the past named Ki Demang. As a person who is considered a Mojo pedestal, all rules and regulations made by Ki Demang as the owner of the authority must be respected and obeyed by the community from the past to the present. For the community, it would be better if the religious tourism objects of Mount Kendeng's tomb were managed by women because it does not rule out the possibility that new ideas can be born that can make the religious tourism object more advanced. Many potential things can actually also be done by women. Local communities must be able to maintain oral traditions that have existed for generations so that these oral traditions are not simply eroded by increasingly modern times. Stakeholders and policies can support the existence of religious tourism objects eating Mount Kendeng by helping to develop and maintain the sustainability of tourism so that it can help improve the local community's economy.

Abstract

This study aims to map the landscape of Javanese Islamic studies quantitatively to overcome the limitations of narrative analysis, which often only focuses on specific issues. The hypothesis proposed is that there is a paradigmatic stagnation, where the study is still trapped in the shadow of Clifford Geertz's theory. Using bibliometric analysis and visualization methods from the Biblioshiny application, this study processed 445 relevant documents from the Scopus dataset from 1911 to 2025. The study results show that although this research continues to develop in terms of collaboration and publication, the contributors are dominated by authors, affiliations, and publication sources in Indonesia, but international authors dominate the most productive single authors and co-citation networks. The co-occurrence and co-citation network analyses validate the hypothesis that the study remains under the shadow of the Geertz paradigm, with the abangan, santri, and priyayi issue as the central debate. Nonetheless, the study also identifies emerging themes, such as tradition, slametan, and syncretism. In conclusion, Javanese Islamic studies are a stable field, but they are still tied to the old paradigm. Therefore, future research is suggested to explore promising themes, such as the role of women, the Islamic industry, and the influence of the politics of religion (dominated by Islam) in Indonesia, to open an increasingly dynamic and relevant research direction related to Javanese Islam.

Abstract

Literary works are born from the thoughts of authors who are influenced by other texts. No text stands alone. So, of course there is a connection between a text which in this case is a literary work with other texts. What is meant by text is not always in the form of writing, but also includes oral texts and ideas that influence the author. A work can be known hypogram and its relation or intertextuality with other texts by intertextual analysis. This study discusses intertextuality in Y. B. Mangunwijaya's short story Narada by using Julia Kristeva's intertextuality theory approach. This research is a qualitative research with data collection techniques with the method of observing and taking notes. The data was obtained from Narada's short story in the form of phrases/sentences containing intertextuality and sourced from Y. B. Mangunwijaya's book entitled Rumah Bambu which was published by KPG (Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia) in 2020, the seventh edition. The hypogram of this short story is a wayang (puppet) text whose title is not specifically mentioned because the link or intertextuality is in the form of similarity of characters. In addition to intertextuality in the form of similarities, this short story also contains a modification of ideas by deconstructing the values in the puppet story, showing that the adaptation of the story is adapted to the conditions of the times.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of pre-Islamic syncretism in the Indonesian archipelago by examining the interaction and assimilation of animism and dynamism with Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as their manifestations in social and ritual life and their continuing cultural legacy. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research seeks to capture the complex and contextual patterns of syncretism that shaped early Indonesian society. The study is based on secondary data drawn from scientific journals, academic articles, books, and other scholarly publications collected through library research. Data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis, involving data reduction, interpretation, and categorization. The findings reveal that the interaction between animism, dynamism, and Hindu-Buddhist traditions formed a fundamental basis for early religious and cultural identity in Indonesia, resulting in a syncretic framework that structured social practices and belief systems. This framework later facilitated the integration of Islam in an accommodative and peaceful manner with local traditions. The legacy of pre-Islamic syncretism remains evident in contemporary practices such as grave pilgrimages, selametan rituals, and Islamic architectural forms, which continue to function as socio-cultural foundations supporting religious tolerance and moderation in modern Indonesian society.
