Abstract

Indonesia is a pluralistic nation with rich cultural diversity, one example being the Ruwatan Cukur Gimbal (Dreadlocks Shaving Ritual) in Dieng Village, Wonosobo Regency. Children with dreadlocks are regarded as special, and their hair is not cut until they or their parents request it, often after fulfilling unusual wishes such as a basket of eggs, a mouse, or traditional food. This study examines the tradition through cultural and Islamic perspectives using a case study approach, with data gathered from interviews, observations, and document analysis. Findings show that the ritual has deep historical roots linked to Kyai Kolo Dete and Nyai Roro Kidul. Beyond being a cultural event, it incorporates religious aspects such as Qur’anic recitations, prayers, and the Javanese hymn Kidung Rumekso Ing Wengi, attributed to Sunan Kalijaga. The ceremony reflects tolerance, spirituality, and communal harmony, while in an Islamic framework it promotes togetherness, respect for parents, and the significance of prayer. As the tradition continues to evolve, preserving it in harmony with Islamic values is crucial. Thus, the Cukur Gimbal ritual serves not only as a marker of cultural identity but also as a medium for reinforcing Islamic values within the community.

Abstract

This study compares the preservation and adaptation of ethnic identities in Banten (Indonesia) and Pattani (Thailand), with particular attention to the effects of globalisation, state policies, and political conflict. It examines how historical legacies, cultural practices, education, and socio-economic interactions have shaped identity in both regions. In Banten, the Sultanate era (seventeenth to nineteenth centuries) created a cosmopolitan society through trade and Islamic learning, where Javanese, Sundanese, Arab, Persian, and Chinese communities coexisted. Today, Banten continues to integrate traditional practices with modern technologies, with education playing a central role in sustaining heritage. Pattani, by contrast, faces ongoing struggles of cultural preservation in a politically contested environment. The Malay-Muslim community demonstrates resilience through the preservation of language, religious education, and traditional arts, despite tensions with the Thai state. The findings reveal both similarities and divergences, underscoring the need for context-sensitive strategies to safeguard ethnic identities and foster coexistence in diverse societies.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the Maccera’ Tasi tradition in Bonepute, Luwu Regency, and the role of Islamic preaching in shaping community religious awareness. Using qualitative methods that combine ethnographic and phenomenological approaches, the research investigates how Islamic values have influenced the evolution of this coastal ritual. Data were gathered through interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, focusing on the perspectives of religious leaders, traditional elders, community members, and preachers. Findings indicate that Maccera’ Tasi has shifted from rituals rooted in animist practices to forms more consistent with Islamic cultural norms. This transformation has been guided by da’wah efforts, particularly through persuasive preaching and cultural engagement, which reinterpret the ritual’s meanings in line with Islamic teachings while fostering deeper religious consciousness. The study highlights the significance of contextual preaching strategies that respect local traditions while gradually aligning them with Islamic principles. It also emphasizes the value of collaboration between religious scholars and cultural practitioners to maintain the continuity of cultural heritage within an Islamic framework. Ultimately, the research demonstrates how local customs and Islamic values can be harmonized, strengthening both cultural identity and religious life.

Abstract

The Tolak Balak ritual is an important tradition performed by the Sabu tribe in East Nusa Tenggara to ask for protection and safety from evil spirits. This ritual has been going on for a long time and is an important part of the Jingitiu religious beliefs. However, the impact of modernization has caused some major difficulties. This article looks at how the Tolak Balak ritual is adapting to the rapidly evolving social, cultural, and technological changes in Sabu society. Although modernization and technological advances make it easy, they also affect the way this tradition is performed and how the younger generation perceives it. This study shows that Savunese people can maintain the essence and meaning of the Tolak Balak ritual by changing and updating its implementation even though the changing times are destroying it. In addition, the article links this tradition to broader conversations about the preservation of local cultural heritage amidst modernization and globalization. This article provides insight into the importance of the Tolak Balak tradition for the people of Savu and shows how local traditions can survive and thrive in the face of today's challenges.

Abstract

This article examines the critical role of Indigenous Peoples in Southeast Asia in both nature conservation and cultural preservation. Employing a qualitative methodological approach, this study incorporates case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Data collection was conducted through literature reviews of reputable sources and interviews with indigenous community members. The findings highlight the unique knowledge and traditions Indigenous Peoples uphold in sustaining cultural and environmental heritage. However, they encounter a range of challenges, including land disputes, the adverse effects of climate change, and systemic discrimination against unrecognised indigenous rights. This article seeks to articulate the key arguments and contributions of research in advocating for the legal protection and recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, while also examining the role of mass media in fostering public awareness of their struggles. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will serve as a foundation for formulating policies that more effectively support the sustainability of both indigenous communities and their environment.

Abstract

The abundance of studies on local wisdom in Indonesia is evident from a Google Scholar search, which yields a wealth of resources. However, the concept of local wisdom and its distinction from related terms such as ‘local knowledge’ and ‘indigenous knowledge’ remains unclear. This article seeks to clarify the notion of ‘wisdom’ by: first, re-examining  the definitions and debates surrounding local wisdom, local knowledge, and indigenous knowledge; second, tracing the models of indigenous research conducted in Indonesia; third, formulating a critical and philosophical approach to interpreting wisdom as conceptualised in Indonesian academic studies; and fourth, critically reflecting on the discourse of local knowledge, highlighting its role not only as a concept but also as a practical social movement that amplifies local voices.
