Abstract

This research investigates how local identity is represented in mural artworks created by urban communities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study methodology, the study examines murals from three locations Kampung Code, Jl. Tirtodipuran, and Sayidan employing visual semiotics and thematic analysis. Findings reveal that these murals utilize traditional symbols such as wayang, batik patterns, and agrarian motifs to assert cultural continuity and communal values. The murals in Kampung Code emphasize resistance through traditional iconography, while those in Jl. Tirtodipuran depict everyday rural life, reinforcing social bonds. In Sayidan, a hybrid aesthetic emerges as young artists integrate traditional elements with contemporary street art, expressing fluid and pluralistic urban identities. The research illustrates that murals in Yogyakarta are not merely decorative but serve as powerful mediums for cultural negotiation, identity formation, and community engagement. Through public art, communities assert their presence and preserve their heritage in the face of urban change. The study contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in urban studies, visual culture, and cultural geography by offering empirical evidence on how community-based murals articulate identity, resist gentrification, and sustain cultural heritage in Yogyakarta’s evolving urban landscape.

Abstract

Music is a fundamental cultural practice that extends beyond entertainment to shape identity, education, and social justice. This narrative review aims to synthesize contemporary scholarship addressing how music functions as a tool for personal and collective identity construction, pedagogical transformation, and sociocultural engagement. A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as “music education,” “music and identity,” “cultural influence of music,” “critical pedagogy in music,” and “music and social justice.” Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed studies published in the last two decades that demonstrated methodological transparency and thematic relevance. The results indicate that music significantly influences identity formation, with empirical evidence showing measurable effects on racial and cultural perceptions among youth, while qualitative studies emphasize the role of pedagogies that foster autonomy and social awareness. Comparative studies highlight the universality of music’s identity-shaping role while also underscoring variations across cultural and geographic contexts. Discussion reveals that systemic factors—including inequitable access, exclusionary curricula, and limited representation—pose challenges to realizing music’s full potential. Inclusive pedagogical strategies and policy reforms are identified as promising pathways to address these barriers, though their effectiveness requires further empirical validation. The review concludes that music is both a cultural and educational resource with profound implications for fostering equity and inclusion. Future research should adopt multi-methodological designs, expand to non-Western contexts, and investigate digital influences on music consumption and identity. These directions are essential for advancing music’s role in education and social justice.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the determinants of musical expressivity in performance, focusing on attentional focus, accompaniment quality, and mindfulness-based strategies as critical factors influencing perception and evaluation. The study aimed to synthesize empirical findings across music psychology, pedagogy, and performance studies to develop an integrative understanding of expressivity. Literature was collected systematically through Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using targeted keyword combinations and applying rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review incorporated diverse methodologies, including experimental, cohort, and case study designs, to capture the multidimensional nature of expressivity.Results revealed that attentional focus significantly shapes audience evaluations, demonstrating that perception is mediated by cognitive framing and cultural orientation. Accompaniment quality was shown to enhance interpretive cohesion, emphasizing the relational dimension of performance. Additionally, mindfulness practices improved expressive depth by helping musicians manage stress and sustain emotional engagement, yielding benefits for both performers and audiences. Discussion highlighted systemic barriers such as narrow pedagogical frameworks and biased evaluative practices that undermine expressive development. Potential solutions include embedding mindfulness programs, fostering collaborative rehearsal strategies, and integrating attentional framing into curricula. The findings affirm the urgency of reconceptualizing expressivity as a central component of music education and performance evaluation. Future research should expand beyond Western classical contexts, adopt multimodal approaches, and address structural barriers to expressive development. By advancing these perspectives, this review contributes to a holistic understanding of musical expressivity and its vital role in creating meaningful and resonant performance experiences.

Abstract

Indonesia's creative economy contributed approximately 7.44% to national GDP by 2022, with fashion, culinary, and crafts as leading sectors. However, music and visual arts remain underrepresented despite their cultural significance and growth potential. This article investigates policy and implementation gaps that hinder the inclusion of these sectors, focusing on legal, financial, and infrastructural dimensions. Employing a qualitative policy analysis approach, the study draws on regulatory documents (e.g., UU 24/2019, PP 24/2022), statistical reports, and program data from 2022–2024. The research identifies key barriers such as inconsistent regional application of national policies, lack of operational SOPs for IP valuation, limited access to creative financing, and systemic royalty management issues. Findings indicate that while regulatory support exists, it often fails to translate into practical benefits for music and visual arts stakeholders. Royalty distribution remains opaque and underutilized; creative financing tools are constrained by valuation and administrative gaps; and export initiatives rarely prioritize intangible cultural products. Rural areas face compounded challenges due to weak outreach and infrastructure. To ensure inclusivity, the upcoming 2026–2035 Creative Economy Masterplan must adopt broader metrics beyond GDP encompassing cultural participation, regional equity, and digital engagement. Institutional coordination, transparent governance, and grassroots empowerment are critical to aligning national ambitions with ground level realities.

Abstract

This study investigates the comparative realization of commissive and directive speech acts in political debates, focusing on Indonesian presidential discourse and UK parliamentary opposition speech. Drawing from two annotated corpora comprising approximately 500 utterances each, the research applies Searle’s speech act taxonomy to analyze how speech acts are distributed and realized across political roles and contexts. Using manual annotation supported by ELAN, combined with frequency analysis and qualitative discourse methods, the study finds that commissive acts are predominantly employed by incumbent speakers to promise policy actions and build credibility, whereas opposition figures favor directive acts to challenge, question, and demand accountability. Lexical markers such as “promise,” “guarantee,” and “must” serve as reliable indicators for classifying speech acts. The analysis reveals that speech act usage is not only influenced by speaker role but also shaped by debate phase and cultural-political context. Commissives cluster around opening and closing phases, while directives dominate in rebuttals. These findings reflect role-based strategic communication choices and underscore the pragmatic flexibility political speakers must maintain across different institutional settings. The study contributes to political pragmatics by offering cross-contextual insights into how language functions strategically in political discourse. It calls for broader multilingual corpora and refined speech act models that account for both cultural norms and communicative intent.
