Abstract

The Javanese proverb “narimo ing pandum”exemplifies a belief among poor people to accept their impoverishment as the Divine will of God. This belief, however, has the adverse effect of habituating people to accept poverty. Such perception is conditioned, among others, by the availability of state-provided social aid as well as family or community support, which has helped the poor to stay afloat in moments of crises. In a patriarchal society, poverty poses even more risks and challenges for women, who are often conditioned to be reliant on men to survive. As such, poor women are likely required to find ways to cope with their helplessness. This article seeks to contribute to discussions on the cultural properties of poverty by exploring aspects of gender inequality. Specifically, it discusses how highlander women in Gunungkidul, the region with the highest poverty rate in Yogyakarta, perceive their impoverishment as Divine date, and explores how their perception of poverty affects their survival. The method utilized is a Life History Approach, which captures the multiple facets of our subjects by analyzing their day-to-day activities and interactions.

Abstract

Among myriad significant institutional changes in post-authoritarian Indonesia (1998-present) is the split of Indonesian police (POLRI) from the armed forces (ABRI, renamed into TNI after 1999). No longer locked in a dominant-subordinate configuration, the interaction between both institutions intensified in areas where they intersect. Drawing upon the theory of Strategic Action Field (SAF), this study attempts to capture the dynamics along the newly-established trajectory. It shall be argued that far from being one-dimensional, the relationship between both institutions has been marked by conflict, competition, and cooperation; depending on the SAF. Finally, this research proposes a new framework to assess the tendency of a particular TNI-POLRI interaction within a SAF by seeing the characteristics of the SAF itself, combined with the social skills of actors involved.

Abstract

According to the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), Indonesia's education quality is ranked 74th out of 79 countries. The data highlights issues including high tuition costs, unequal access to educational institutions, as well as mismatch between education system and local culture; all commonly found in fishing communities. This ethnographic study seeks to investigate cultural and structural factors that affect the lagging education of children of fishermen in Waruduwur village, Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. The findings indicate that both factors are interlinked, significantly shaping collective views on education as well as children’s participation in schooling. Patterns observed in the study allow categorization of families by scrutinizing their position between two axes: income and views on education. By seeing the combinations, four groups can be inferred: (1) families inclined towards education and earning middle income; (2) middle-income families that do not prioritize education; (3) low-income families that emphasize education; and (4) low-income families that do not focus on education. They reflect the varying degrees of challenges but also point to the significance of cultural intervention, which has been partially addressed through the establishment of informal education institutions in Waruduwur.

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the compatibility of the belas mechanism, which separates prospective brides still considered children (merariq kodeq), in West Lombok Regency with the provisions of Child Protection Law No. 35/2014. While prior research in various countries has primarily focused on interventions and child marriage prevention programs, this study takes a different approach by examining the intricate relationship between children (those under 18 years of age) and the broader social system. To comprehensively explore this relationship, our team adopts Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological model, which encompasses various stages of a child's life. This model considers individual biology, interactions with diverse actors, environmental factors, and cultural and structural influences. Our study's findings reveal that the current implementation of the belas mechanism does not adequately align with the principles of child protection. This inadequacy is particularly evident in terms of the psychological well-being and vulnerability of girls who become victims of child marriage, especially in unique situations involving girls who experience unwanted pregnancies. To conduct our research, we employed qualitative methodologies, including participant observation and in-depth interviews. These methods allowed us to engage with primary subjects, five girls aged 14–18 years, as well as key stakeholders such as representatives from children's forums, village child protection commissions, religious leaders, parents, teachers, and others.
