Abstract

Concubines in the Mataram Kingdom played an important role as a form of legitimization. The more concubines there were, the more offspring were born, which signified the greatness of a king. This is found in the oral literature of the origin of the Banyusumurup Tomb with the story of Roro Oyi as Amangkurat I's concubine. The purpose of this research is to reveal Roro Oyi as a subaltern in the oral literature and to explain the powers that shackled women during Amangkurat I's reign. Data is analyzed using Gayatri Spivak's subaltern theory and Antonio Gramsci's hegemony theory. This paper used descriptive qualitative method with data retrieval techniques using observation, interviews, and listening and recording techniques. The result of this research is that Roro Oyi is a subaltern group who cannot speak. Her last attempt to speak was when Roro Oyi committed suicide. The patriarchal society and differences in social strata put Roro Oyi in a lower class. This was exacerbated by the hegemony and domination exercised by Amangkurat I. The assumption that the king was the representative of God led to Amangkurat I's absolutism.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the decline of traditional games in urban areas, which has hindered the process of cultural value inheritance. The study focused on the narratives found in the children's game "Oray-orayan" played by children in three areas in the Cimahi Tengah sub-district, Cimahi City. Data was collected through observation, documentation, and transcription of the game songs. The study employed a qualitative method with Claude Lévi-Strauss's structural approach. The analysis revealed that the game songs contain a narrative structure that incorporates ethical values, social norms, and cultural symbols of an agrarian society. Binary oppositions such as sawah (rice field) versus leuwi (deep river) and entong (don't) versus mending (rather than) reflect symbolic conflicts that construct cultural meaning within the game song. These findings affirm that traditional games like Oray-orayan serve an important function as a medium for transmitting local wisdom while also functioning as an educational tool in shaping children's character.

Abstract

The practice of male circumcision is celebrated through the Sunna Hadat ritual by a Muslim community living within a predominantly Christian and Catholic society. This article examines Sunna Hadat as an oral tradition and a mechanism of social reproduction, as well as the dynamics of interreligious tolerance surrounding its enactment. As an oral tradition, Sunna Hadat incorporates mantras, prayers, and customary chants transmitted genealogically through customary institutions and performed by elders, religious leaders, and the nuclear family. While its narrative structure remains relatively stable, variations in diction and symbolic emphasis occur across generations. Transformations are evident in linguistic adjustments, ritual duration, and the stronger integration of formal Islamic elements compared to earlier practices. Using a cultural studies approach, particularly the theory of representation developed by Stuart Hall and the concept of rites of passage introduced by Arnold van Gennep, this study demonstrates that Sunna Hadat affirms social transition and reflects ongoing identity negotiation in a multireligious context.

Abstract

In the midst of a strengthening moral and spiritual crisis in contemporary society, the study of local wisdom is important to revitalize human values rooted in tradition. This research aims to analyze the concept of perfection of life in the Wedhatama Serat by KGPAA Mangkunegara IV and examine its relevance through the theory of Insan Kamil Ibnu Arabi. In particular, this study examines the spiritual and ethical teachings contained in each of the Wedhatama Serat Teachings, as well as comparing the concept of the main janma with the idea of a perfect human being in the philosophical Sufism tradition. The research uses a qualitative method based on library research with Wedhatama Serat as the primary data source, while literature on Ibn Arabi, the concept of insan kamil, and Javanese philosophy is used as a secondary source. The analysis is carried out through a comparative-philosophical approach to bring together the concept of ngelmu kasampurnan in the Javanese tradition with universal spirituality in Sufism. The results of the study show that the Wedhatama Serat not only contains moral teachings, but also offers a deep vision of human perfection through inner practice, lust control, ethics formation, and the principles of consciousness and vigilance. These values have substantive harmony with the concept of human beings, namely human beings who are able to reflect on divine attributes in their lives. The perfection of life in the Wedhatama Serat is understood not as a static condition, but as a continuous spiritual process towards closeness to God. These findings show the existence of an epistemological dialogue between Javanese spirituality and Ibn Arabi's Sufism, while affirming the relevance of cross-cultural spiritual humanism as a foundation for building a balance between the mundane and transcendental dimensions in modern life.

Abstract

This study explores the art of beluk in the Cikondang Traditional Village as a crucial instrument for transmitting values, adapting to situations without losing its cultural legitimacy. While studies of traditional arts tend to focus on external aesthetic aspects, this article offers a novel approach through an in-depth analysis of the dialectic between performance structure, participants and role allocation, narrative context, and other components of performance in indigenous communities. Beluk itself is a vocal tradition based on the recitation of wawacan texts characterized by the use of very high vocal registers and complex melismatic techniques. Using qualitative methods and an interpretive thematic approach, this study involved participants from among indigenous community leaders and members. The research findings indicate that beluk narration in ritual contexts is strictly regulated by sacred momentum and customary authority, while in non-ritual contexts it exhibits more pragmatic flexibility. These differences in patterns demonstrate that variations in beluk practices are not solely determined by aspects of narration and musicality, but are closely related to social goals and the maintenance of collective identity. This article makes a theoretical contribution to the study of oral traditions regarding how a folk art maintains its relevance through performance flexibility under a consistent customary framework.
