Abstract

Confiding is a communication process in which someone opens up and shares their feelings, experiences or personal problems with other people. Through a psychological approach, this research discusses the phenomenon of confiding as a form of self-disclosure, where individuals voluntarily open themselves up to seek emotional support and understanding from others. Focusing on comparing individualistic and collectivistic cultures, this research discusses differences in confiding in countries with different cultures, such as America (individualist) and Indonesia (collectivist). Culture greatly influences the type of confiding, where in individualistic countries, confiding tends to be more open about personal problems, while in collectivistic countries, confiding is more related to social norms and group harmony. This research also looks at the positive impacts of self-disclosure, including emotional support, and stress management. In conclusion, confiding is not only a communication practice, but also a reflection of the complexity of social interactions in different cultural contexts.

Abstract

This research examines the identity struggles of the Toraja diaspora in Sabah Malaysia. The Toraja diaspora in Malaysia is a minority group in Tawau City, Sabah Malaysia. Malaysia as a Muslim-majority country imposes many Muslim rules. Therefore, the author examines how the minority Toraja diaspora community grapples with its identity as a Toraja tribe from Indonesia and Christian in Tawau City. This research uses qualitative research methods through field and literature studies using the New Ethnography perspective. The author uses Stuart Hall's concept of cultural identity to show how identity formation occurs because of two things. First, there is an interpretation of the same history and culture. Second, how the community negotiates with other groups. The author found that the Torajans have a community base in the Anglican and Basel Churches in Tawau. The Anglican Church is the first church that the Toraja community belongs to, but does not accept when Torajans perform rites at death ceremonies in this case badong because it is considered an idol. Meanwhile, the Basel Church opens space for Torajans to perform their cultural rites such as mantunu and ma' badong. Torajans also use Torajan symbols in worship as an image of cultural roots. The similarities and historical roots sparked the Toraja people in Tawau to join the Anglican Church and the Basel Church.

Abstract

The collision between modernity and local cultural values often emerges. This research aims to empirically investigate the distinction of acculturation orientation between modernity caused by global culture and traditional Javanese values among the post-millennial Javanese generation. This is descriptive-quantitative research involving the Javanese post-millennial generation with the year of birth between 1997 and 2009 sampled through purposive sampling. The research instrument is the Vancouver Index of Acculturation that has been contextualized by the research. The results show that there is a variety of acculturation orientation types among the Javanese post-millennial generation: 88,4% is in the integration orientation group, 6,4% is in the separation orientation group, 3,5% is in the assimilation orientation group, and 1,7% is in the marginalization orientation group. Moreover, there are research findings differentiated based on the respondents’ sex and place of origin.

Abstract

In Tana Toraja and North Toraja, rambu solo’ is not only a funeral ceremony, but also reflects significant social changes. This article describes the transformation in Torajan society that is evident in the rambu solo’ ceremony. One interesting element is the buffalo fight (ma’pasilaga. tedong), which is now the main attraction in this ritual. This study was conducted using ethnographic methods. The study relied on participant observation and in-depth interviews. The results showed that each buffalo fight not only arouses the atmosphere, but also involves an increasingly growing element of gambling. In traditional practice, buffalo fights are held to entertain grieving families, adding meaning to the ritual. However, in recent times, gambling arenas have emerged in the ceremony, with betting on the outcome of the fights becoming commonplace. Ma’pasilaga tedong, conventional gambling, remains and attracts attention amid the increasing popularity of online gambling. This transformation shows how rambu solo’ has evolved into more than just a funeral ceremony, but also a new social and economic arena. As the Ma’pasilaga tedong arena and gambling become more dominant, this creates a new cultural mark in Torajan funeral traditions.

Abstract

This research aimed to describe the diversity in the usage of kinship terms in relative address practice by Cibitung society, Karanggedang Village, Sidareja District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. Qualitative methods with ethnographic design and data collection techniques of non-participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies were used to explore the terms of reference, term of address, kinship terms usage in kinship and non-kinship events, diversity of address terms and the underlying factors of that. Based on the field research results, it was found that in practice the term kinship can be used to greet relative and non-relative. Then, there are as many as 112 terms of address used to greet 19 categories of relative. This diversity is shown through differences in the application of kinship terms by the older generation (G+1, G+2) and the younger generation (G 0). Basically, the emergence of these various terms does not occur by itself, but is caused by several factors, such as: the development of the times, usage of other languages, social structures, migration culture, and exogamous marriages.

Abstract

Religious plurality has the highest positive-negative potential among several aspects of plurality that exist. This is inseparable from the multifaces of religion. This paper aims to explore the role of Pecalang in maintaining religious plurality on Lombok Island by focusing on three problem formulations, namely: how Pecalang are in religious plurality on Lombok Island, how Pecalang as a minority group and the face of plurality on Lombok Island, and how Pecalang maintain religious plurality on Lombok Island. This paper is based on qualitative research with data sources from the Sasak and Balinese communities on Lombok Island. The data obtained through the interview method were then interpreted using Talcott Parsons' structural functional theory. The results of the analysis show that Pecalang as a task force that is traditionally a Balinese Hindu culture in the midst of the Sasak Muslim community is a fact of religious plurality on Lombok Island. Pecalang as a Balinese Hindu minority group living in the midst of the Sasak Muslim majority tries to maintain or safeguard the peace, security and stability of religious plurality on Lombok Island. This can be seen from how Pecalang adapts, sets shared social goals, integrates or cooperates with other community groups, and maintains stability by conducting "dialogue" with other religious groups. Given the importance of plurality stability in the midst of community life, studies related to plurality in society need to be developed. This is done in order to maintain community stability and identify problems that have not been identified.

Abstract

Tulisan ini mencoba mengkritisi ide tentang representasi dan generalisasi yang ada dalam karya etnografi. Kritik yang dilontarkan adalah bahwa dalam penggambaran etnografis yang ditulis para peneliti mengalami bias dan tidak bisa dipercaya, karena disiplin-disiplin akademis mereka muncul dari sebuah periode sejarah Eropa yang ditandai oleh penjajahan dan pengetahuan yang dihasilkan dianggap sebagai motor bagi mesin-mesin dominasi œBarat. Perdebatan yang timbul belakangan ini terfokus pada pertanyaan apakah etnografer sebagai œsubjek-subjek partikular itu mampu menghasilkan gambaran-gambaran kebudayaan dan the others yang andal dan obyektif. Di sini teks-teks dalam karya etnografi berperan sebagai pengantar atau pembuka terhadap wacana dan perdebatan tentang ide-ide representasi dan generalisasi dalam karya etnografi. Selanjutnya penulis melakukan analisis dan interpretasi menggunakan pemikiran James Clifford dan Lila Abu-Lughod tentang teori dekolonialisasi dalam antropologi. Interpretasi dilakukan dengan menarasikan kritik ke dalam wacana atau diskursus tentang ide-ide tentang representasi dan generalisasi dalam karya etnografi. This paper tries to criticize the ideas about representation and generalization that exist in ethnographic works. The criticism leveled is that in ethnographic descriptions written by researchers is biased and unreliable, because their academic disciplines emerged from a period of European history marked by colonialism and the knowledge it produced was seen as the engine for œWestern domination machines. Recent debates have focused on the question of whether ethnographers as particular œsubjects are capable of producing reliable and objective images of culture and the others. Here the texts in ethnographic works act as introductions or openings to discourses and debates about representational ideas and generalizations in ethnographic works. Next, the author analyzes and interprets using the thoughts of James Clifford and Lila Abu-Lughod on the theory of decolonization in anthropology. Interpretation is done by narrating criticism into discourse or discourse about ideas about representation and generalizations in ethnographic works.

Abstract

Sebuah wilayah bernama Kembang Kuning di Surabaya mulanya dikenal sebagai daerah sakral karena di dalamnya terdapat Masjid dan Pondok Pesantren yang dibangun oleh Sunan Ampel. Di sisi lain, Kembang Kuning turut dikenal sebagai wilayah pemakaman bagi pemeluk agama Kristen dan Katolik. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu terdapat anggapan œnegatif ketika menyebut nama Kembang Kuning, yang kini disebut sebagai salah satu tempat prostitusi bagi kalangan waria. Untuk itu, penelitian ini disusun dengan tujuan menganalisis produksi ruang pada makam Kembang Kuning sebagai tempat lokalisasi waria Surabaya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah kualitatif yang dibarengi dengan penggunaan teori ruang atau space yang disampaikan oleh Lefebvre. Peneliti turut melakukan wawancara dengan waria dan masyarakat sekitar Kembang Kuning. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran Kembang Kuning sebagai sebuah wilayah telah menghasilkan œruang baru yang berbeda. Artinya, terjadi pergeseran makna akibat proses produksi-reproduksi, di mana sebelumnya Kembang Kuning dianggap sebagai wilayah sakral, tetapi kini dikenal sebagai daerah kumuh dan tempat prostitusi. Oleh sebab itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa representasi ruang atas Kembang Kuning telah berbeda dari masa ke masa. Tentu hal ini dilandasi oleh realita kemasyarakatan dan gejala sosial yang timbul, yang turut membentuk wilayah tersebut sebagai sebuah ruang yang tidak hampa hingga mewujudkan pemaknaan baru yang tidak sama. An area called Kembang Kuning in Surabaya was originally known as a sacred area because it contained a mosque and Islamic boarding school built by Sunan Ampel. Kembang Kuning is also known as a burial area for Christians and Catholics. However, as time went by, there was a "negative" perception of the area, which is now said to be a place of prostitution for transgender people. This research was prepared with the aim of analyzing the production of space at the Kembang Kuning tomb as a place for the localization of transgender women in Surabaya. The research method used is qualitative combined with the use of space theory presented by Lefebvre. Researchers also conducted interviews with shemale and the community around Kembang Kuning. The research results show that the presence of Kembang Kuning as an area has produced a new "space" related to the shift in meaning due to the production-reproduction process, where previously Kembang Kuning, which was known as a sacred area, is now referred to as a slum area and place of prostitution. Therefore, it can be concluded that the spatial representation of Kembang Kuning has been different from time to time. Of course, this is based on social realities and emerging social phenomena, which help shape the region as a space that is not empty and creates new, different meaningKeywords: kembang kuning, funerals, prostitution, shemale.

Abstract

Perkembangan budaya Bali dilandasi oleh nilai-nilai agama Hindu, yang seharusnya menciptakan keselarasan antara tradisi dan ajaran keagamaan. Kenyataan budaya patriarki di Bali, terutama dalam hal sistem waris dan struktur kekerabatan, menunjukkan ketidaksetaraan gender yang masih berlangsung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review untuk menggali perbedaan antara ajaran agama Hindu yang menekankan kesetaraan peran antara laki-laki dan perempuan dengan realitas budaya patriarki di Bali. Analisis difokuskan pada aspek hukum waris, peluang karir, partisipasi dalam pengambilan keputusan, dan akses pendidikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, meskipun ada peningkatan kesetaraan dalam pendidikan, ketidaksetaraan gender masih terasa dalam aspek-aspek lainnya. Perempuan Bali mengalami keterbatasan dalam mengambil bagian dalam pengambilan keputusan, terutama dalam konteks adat istiadat. Pada sektor karir, upah perempuan masih jauh dari setara dengan laki-laki. Kesenjangan ini menciptakan ketidakcocokan antara ajaran agama Hindu yang menegaskan kesetaraan gender dan realitas budaya Bali yang masih dipengaruhi oleh pola pikir patriarki. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya perubahan norma-norma budaya Bali untuk sejalan dengan ajaran agama Hindu yang menganjurkan kesetaraan peran antara laki-laki dan perempuan. The development of Bali's culture is grounded in the values of Hinduism, which ideally should create harmony between tradition and religious teachings. The reality of patriarchal culture in Bali, particularly in terms of inheritance systems and kinship structures, indicates gender inequality that still persists. This research employs a literature review method to explore the disparities between Hindu teachings emphasizing gender equality and the patriarchal cultural reality in Bali. The analysis focuses on aspects of inheritance laws, career opportunities, participation in decision-making, and access to education. The research findings indicate that, despite improvements in educational equality, gender disparities are still evident in other aspects. Balinese women face limitations in participating in decision-making, particularly in customary contexts. In the career sector, women's wages still lag far behind those of men. This gap creates a mismatch between Hindu teachings that emphasize gender equality and the cultural reality in Bali that remains influenced by patriarchal attitudes. The study underscores the importance of changing Bali's cultural norms to align with Hindu teachings advocating for gender equality.

Abstract

We want to explain about the lifestyle philosophy of "hiduik mamakai" to the gambir farming community in Minangkabau. The philosophy of hiduik mamakai is the basis for the Minangkabau community of gambir farmers towards the occurrence of early marriage. The philosophy of hiduik mamakai is a view of life regarding the existence of matter used for the pleasure of life. This philosophy also developed as a basis for the Minangkabau community of gambir farmers in carrying out social activities, one of which is marriage. The philosophy of hiduik mamakai has a correlationality to the phenomenon of early marriage in the Minangkabau community of gambir farmers. Some cases of early marriage in gambir farming communities are initiated by the idea that stability can be obtained through marriage even though they are not at the right age or mentality. This is because there is a belief that after marriage there will be a "safe realm" for women to be able to live a lifestyle of "hiduik mamakai". The results of this research indicate that there is a correlational relationship between early marriage and the philosophy of "hiduik mamakai." The philosophy of "hiduik mamakai" is one of the influencing factors, although it is not the sole cause of the phenomenon of early marriage. The causal relationship between these two domains is correlational, not causal. There is no guarantee that the disappearance of the "hiduik mamakai" philosophy will reduce the rate of early marriages. What occurs is that the concept of "hiduik mamakai" philosophy affects the phenomenon of early marriage in a mutually correlating relationship. While it is not the only factor, the philosophy of "hiduik mamakai" is an integral part of the lifestyle of the Minangkabau Gambir farming community. This is because the income of the Gambir farming community is enough to put the economic system on a stable life.
