Abstract

This research investigates the resistance of Malay culture in Pekanbaru City in response to cultural disruption on its path toward becoming a megapolitan city. In this context, the influence of technology has proven to play a significant role in altering how the Malay community in Pekanbaru carries out their traditions. However, this study also identifies a series of efforts undertaken to support the vision and mission of Pekanbaru City in preserving and promoting Malay culture. These strategies involve the development of city tourism that incorporates educational and cultural publication aspects of Malay culture, the preservation of Malay culture through an academic approach via educational institutions and libraries, and the use of the Malay language in local regulations as a concrete step in maintaining culture in everyday life. This research is a qualitative study that relies on observation, interviews, documentation studies, and interactions with stakeholders in Pekanbaru City to gain a deep understanding of the resistance of Malay culture amidst the ongoing cultural transformation.

Abstract

This research aims to explain the construction of Dayak identity in students of Santo Paulus Pontianak Senior High School (SMA), who are active as ethnic Dayak artists. The research problem is that there is a lot of identity politicisation that hinders the process of equality and justice in society. Identity politicisation can be seen in general elections, regional head elections, and many mass organisations affiliated with ethnic identity. This research is a qualitative research with a looking-glass self approach from symbolic interactionism theory. The research subjects were 10 students who were active as ethnic Dayak artists. Data collection was conducted from January to March 2024. The result of the research is that the construction of Dayak identity is influenced by several things, namely (1) the influence of practical politics; (2) mystical stories; (3) the history of ethnic conflict; (4) life that depends on nature; and (5) customary law or customs. These constructions of identity contain problems, such as underutilising cultural perspectives, lacking historical breadth, and concealing the many riches of Dayak identity. This research is important to do because the politicisation of identity still occurs frequently. There needs to be an effort to understand these various identities so that identity construction is not easily trapped in pragmatic and opportunistic interests.

Abstract

Married life is often characterized by various conflicts. Marital conflicts that occur in each married couple will be different and unique. One of the factors related to the dynamics of marital conflict is the socioeconomic status of the family. The study aimed to describe the forms, causes, and impacts of marital conflict in high and low social classes. Researchers used qualitative methods for data collection, namely structured and in-depth interviews, observations of informants from 10 families living in Padang City. Informants were determined intentionally (purposive sampling) based on education, occupation, income of the married couple, and assets owned. The data obtained through structured interviews are presented through frequency tables and explained in more depth based on the data and information collected through in-depth interviews and observations. The data is interpreted qualitatively by combining existing categories to create descriptions based on relevant literature studies. The results of the study identified 6 families from high social class and 4 families from low social class. Conflicts between spouses, ranging from quarrels to domestic violence, were observed across both high and low socio-economic classes. However, the nature of the conflicts differed, with high social class conflicts mainly involving psychological domestic violence, while those in the lower social class involved physical, economic, and psychological forms of violence.  The cause of marital conflict at high social classes tends to be due to differences in priorities. The wife wants the presence and attention of her husband more, while the husband prioritizes work or career achievement and hobbies as a status symbol. Conflict arises related to pressure to maintain a lifestyle according to social status. The causes of conflict at low social classes are dominated by financial pressure, division of household tasks, childcare, and home atmosphere. In general, marital conflict disrupts emotional conditions such as anxiety, stress/trauma. Physically healthy, the intensity of interaction with the partner is decreasing.

Abstract

This research investigates how Gamal music in the Dayak Jawant community of West Kalimantan, Indonesia has evolved from scared tradition to contemporary cultural expression, examining how these adaptations reflect the negotiation between cultural preservation and modernization. Traditionally integral to rituals and spiritual life, Gamal music has undergone significant transformations through the adoption of new instruments and styles influenced by global and economic factors, as observed during events like the XI Dayak Gawai Week. Through ethnographic methods, this study examines the balance between heritage preservation and innovation. The research explores contested notions of cultural authenticity, indigenous responses to modernity, and music’s role in preserving cultural identity. While acknowledging traditionalist’ concern, this study argues that these adaptations are essential for Gamal music’s continued relevance and survival. By documenting this music evolution, this research contributing to understanding how traditional art forms can develop sustainable pathways forward, maintaining cultural significance while responding to external pressures. This model potentially applies to other indigenous cultural expressions facing similar challenges in rapidly changing environments. This study ultimately reveals how Gamal music serves as a dynamic vehicle for cultural expression, adapting to contemporary context while preserving core communal values.

Abstract

This research explores the perceptions of the millennial generation of the belis tradition in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) on social media, particularly Twitter. Belis is a traditional dowry practice in East Nusa Tenggara, deeply rooted in cultural significance as a symbol of respect, social recognition, and the familial alliance between the bride and groom’s families. The belis tradition has recently faced scrutiny from the millennials, who question its relevance in the modern era. This research employs qualitative analysis, drawing on primary data from tweets featuring the hashtag #TradisiBelisNTT. These tweets were examined through Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) following the six stages as outlined by Willig (2008): (1) Discursive Construction, (2) Discourse, (3) Action Orientation, (4) Positioning, (5) Practice, (6) Subjectivity. The findings suggest that belis is frequently perceived as an economic burden for men, hindering financial equality in marriage and prompting individuals to seek alternatives arrangements. The discourse as expressed in X reveals intricate power dynamics, as the millennial challenges traditional cultural norms and calls for reform in more inclusive and equitable cultural practices. The findings highlight the tension between preserving heritage and advocating for change, offering insights into how digital spaces facilitate dialogue on cultural reform.

Abstract

This article examines the meanings and functions of Javanese traditional food through a linguistic anthropological lens. Food is approached not merely as a biological necessity, but as a cultural artifact embedded with social significance. Drawing on a corpus of traditional food names compiled by Endang Nurhayati (2013), this study analyzes how naming practices reflect the cultural logic and symbolic values of Javanese society. The findings demonstrate that the meanings and functions of traditional foods are flexible and contingent upon their socio-cultural contexts, whether in ritual ceremonies or everyday consumption. Naming conventions are shaped by sensory attributes (such as color, taste, texture, and form), sound symbolism (onomatopoeia), and acronyms. These linguistic strategies reveal how language mediates cultural understanding and expresses identity, history, and communal values. The study contributes to broader discussions on the role of food in semiotic systems and the intersection between language, culture, and social practice in Javanese tradition.

Abstract

The use of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Addictive Substances (Napza) among students is an important issue in the context of health and behavior. Head of General Affairs of the Malang City BNN, Benny Trianto, in his interview on September 11, 2024 emphasized that drug abuse in Malang does not only target students, but has also spread to students. This is very concerning for the future of the Indonesian nation. Drug users among private students in Malang City use certain symbols in interactions with other users. This study focuses on the reasons why students of Private Universities in Malang City use drugs, the symbols used by students, and how these symbols are communicated. The descriptive qualitative research method with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation was then analyzed descriptively. This study reveals two main factors that influence students in Malang City to use drugs: internal factors such as emotional pressure, stress, boredom, and curiosity, and external factors such as the friendship environment at home, campus, and free association. Symbols in the interactions of drug users are formed through social processes and play a role in communication and identity. Terms such as SS, Micin for crystal meth, and cat, live, white, rice for Trihexyphenidyl are only understood in the user environment. Physical symbols such as prohibition posters, liquor bottles, and dim lighting also reflect their identity and lifestyle.

Abstract

This article explores the role of social networks in sustaining traditional retail businesses, with a focus on warung Bugis in Makassar City, Indonesia. The research aims to understand how these networks contribute to the growth and resilience of small enterprises. Through a qualitative approach involving case studies, observations, and interviews, the study examines the factors shaping social and economic interactions among retail traders. Findings reveal that social capital—such as trust, solidarity, and collaboration—is crucial in supporting business resilience. Social networks help traders access resources, share information, and reduce costs while fostering customer loyalty and adapting to modern practices like digital payments and social media marketing. These networks also play a key role in conflict resolution and cooperation among traders, enhancing economic stability. The study highlights the importance of social networks in maintaining competitiveness and offers valuable insights for policymakers to support traditional retail trade in urban areas.

Abstract

Plants for the ancestors that entail the traditional knowledge and beliefs of the Mentawaians on Siberut Island, is exclusive traditional knowledge of the indigenous people of Mentawai. Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is one of the most fascinating knowledge sources and valuable to preserve and explore for future regional importance as many types of ethno botanical products remain unexplored. When viewing western medicine supplied at the pharmacy, it has to be realised that many started their medicinal use in a village somewhere close to a forest of field. A clear example would be the use of opium and the many healing derived components in modern medicinal treatment. Industrial produced based pharmaceutical medicine has often been synthesised from the ethno-pharmacological range of herbal medicines and new components discovered in nature. By consulting the knowledge of traditional healers, possible new cures might be encountered from our natural environment. In Indonesia the importance of TEK has been particularly stimulated by the introduction of regional autonomy in the year 2000. It has reinforced indigenous political as well as regional economic power, to develop local natural resources for a national and international trade. It has introduced an economic development that has strengthened awareness of local botanical potential and involvement of gender opportunities in a resurge of interest in medicinal plants and domestication in Mentawaian herbal gardens.
