Abstract

This study explores sustainability in arts management and cultural policy through a comprehensive narrative review of interdisciplinary literature. The objective was to examine how sustainability is conceptualized and operationalized across global contexts, with particular attention to governance structures, institutional practices, digital innovation, and indigenous knowledge. Methodologically, the review employed targeted searches in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using key terms such as “cultural policy,” “arts management,” “sustainability,” and “cultural governance.” Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025 that engaged directly with sustainability in cultural sectors. Selected works were analyzed through narrative synthesis to identify recurring themes and divergent findings. The results reveal four key dimensions of sustainability in cultural policy. First, global trends show that sustainability principles are increasingly embedded in cultural strategies, though implementation varies between developed and developing countries. Second, institutional practices highlight the importance of autonomy, adaptability, and innovative funding models such as crowdfunding. Third, digital transformation emerges as a powerful tool for enhancing access, participation, and heritage preservation. Fourth, indigenous and local knowledge provide culturally grounded frameworks that enrich policy inclusivity and effectiveness. These findings indicate that sustainable cultural governance requires balancing economic viability with cultural authenticity and social justice. The implications emphasize the need for adaptive policies, interdisciplinary approaches, and expanded geographical research. Strengthening political commitment, fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration, and recognizing cultural diversity are essential strategies to overcome systemic barriers. This review contributes to advancing the global dialogue on sustainable cultural governance and highlights pathways for research and practice to ensure the resilience of arts and cultural sectors.

Abstract

Music therapy has gained increasing attention as an effective intervention for improving emotional well-being in diverse populations. This narrative review aimed to synthesize recent literature across clinical, educational, community, and cross-cultural contexts to assess the effectiveness and limitations of music-based interventions. A systematic search of databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted using targeted keywords and Boolean combinations. Eligible studies encompassed randomized controlled trials, observational research, and qualitative analyses that explicitly examined the relationship between music therapy and psychological outcomes. The results indicate that music therapy consistently reduces symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, while enhancing cognitive and emotional functioning in stroke rehabilitation and improving quality of life in palliative care. In schools, music therapy programs were found to promote emotional regulation, empathy, and social connectedness, with culturally responsive interventions showing greater effectiveness for diverse student populations. Community and correctional settings further demonstrated music therapy’s capacity to foster social reintegration, reduce stigma, and strengthen coping mechanisms. Comparative evidence suggests that music therapy offers distinct benefits compared with other psychosocial interventions, particularly due to its ability to evoke immediate emotional and cognitive responses. However, methodological inconsistencies, limited cross-cultural studies, and systemic barriers such as inadequate funding and workforce shortages remain key challenges. The review underscores the urgency of integrating music therapy into public health and education policies, while calling for future research that employs standardized, longitudinal, and culturally inclusive approaches. By leveraging community engagement and technological innovation, music therapy can be positioned as a vital, evidence-based strategy for advancing global emotional well-being.

Abstract

This article explores the transformation of Javanese modal systems laras, pathet, and garap within contemporary music practices. It investigates how these core concepts, traditionally embedded in the structure and expression of gamelan music, are preserved, adapted, and recontextualized in modern acoustic, electronic, and hybrid compositional environments. Methodologically, the study applies a comparative analytical approach, combining empirical data from tuning measurements and seleh tone mapping with case studies from Rahayu Supanggah, Lou Harrison, and Gamelan Son of Lion. Tuning deviations across gamelan sets are analyzed, highlighting the flexibility of laras and the structural logic of pathet. The study also examines how garap enables interpretive variation in performance and how these modalities are translated into Just Intonation, orchestral writing, and campursari arrangements. Key results show that Javanese modality maintains coherence despite cross cultural adaptations. Modal identity is preserved through behavioral cues, tonal relationships, and ornamentation, even when transposed into Western or electronic idioms. The interaction of structure and flexibility particularly through garap allows Javanese modes to thrive in modern contexts without sacrificing expressive depth or cultural meaning. These findings suggest that Javanese modal systems are highly adaptable, offering a valuable framework for global music composition and intercultural dialogue. The research contributes to both ethnomusicology and composition studies by reframing Javanese modality as a resilient, integrative, and innovative force in 21st century music.

Abstract

Langgam Jawa, a subgenre of keroncong rooted in Javanese musical and poetic traditions, serves as a crucial expression of postcolonial cultural identity in Indonesia. This article investigates the role of Waldjinah, the genre’s most iconic figure, in shaping the gendered and national aesthetics of Langgam Jawa through her musical style, lyrical themes, and media representation. Employing feminist musicology, postcolonial performance theory, and reception analysis, this study draws on archival recordings, televised performances, and song lyrics to explore how Waldjinah’s vocal ornamentation and public persona mediated Javanese femininity within state-sanctioned cultural frameworks. Analytical attention is given to her use of undul-usuk ornamentation, integration of macapat-inspired lyricism, and curated visual aesthetics across different media platforms. The results demonstrate that Langgam Jawa’s hybrid musical structure combining diatonic instrumentation with traditional Javanese idioms enabled Waldjinah to navigate and subtly challenge dominant gender and cultural norms. Her work was simultaneously supported by state institutions and shaped by them, contributing to the canonization of Langgam Jawa as part of Indonesia’s national musical identity. This research concludes that Waldjinah’s artistic trajectory reflects the complex interplay between individual agency and institutional power in the construction of musical canons. Her legacy exemplifies how music functions as a site of gendered, regional, and national negotiation in postcolonial contexts. The findings suggest a need for further inquiry into the evolving interpretations of Langgam Jawa in the digital age, particularly among younger female performers.

Abstract

This study investigates how school–community partnerships can serve as effective models for integrating traditional music into formal education in Indonesia. With the rise of culturally responsive frameworks such as Kurikulum Merdeka and global attention on intangible cultural heritage, there is an increasing need to explore how education systems can preserve and promote cultural identity through collaborative initiatives. The objective is to examine the structures, impacts, and challenges of such partnerships across different educational contexts. Employing a qualitative multi site case study design, the research focuses on three schools engaged in different types of collaboration with local cultural institutions, including co teaching, guest artist residencies, and service learning. Data were collected through semi structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo software to identify key patterns and stakeholder perspectives. Findings reveal that school–community partnerships significantly enhance students’ cultural literacy, self expression, collaboration skills, and performance confidence. Traditional music education was found to be most effective when delivered through experiential and reflective approaches, supported by mutual planning between educators and cultural practitioners. Community involvement provided authenticity and fostered stronger student engagement. Moreover, the study confirms the applicability of frameworks such as UNESCO’s “Teaching with Living Heritage” and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, both of which emphasize cultural continuity and identity development. Key challenges included scheduling conflicts, limited resources, and unclear role definitions all of which were mitigated through flexible planning, digital tools, and written agreements. In conclusion, this research contributes a scalable and context sensitive model for integrating traditional music into national education. It underscores the value of schools acting as cultural agents and highlights the importance of policy support for inclusive, culturally embedded education.
