Abstract

Tarling music is referred to as a hybrid cultural product, in addition to being based on historical aspects as an art form that has been acculturated, its development cannot be separated from the influence of technology and communication. The shift in the production, distribution, and consumption practices of Tarling music from classical to modern proves the relationship between analog production methods and digital output. This qualitative research uses a constructivist paradigm to answer the question of how Tarling music as a hybrid cultural product is viewed in the context of global concerns about the interaction of social agents in the digitalization arena. The analysis was conducted based on Deborah Lupton's digital sociology study, supported by Pierre Bourdieu's analysis of the cultural production arena. As a result, through the role of producer agents, managers, and singers, Tarling music revolutionizes itself from analog to digital with the presence of digital music files. The performance of interaction agents with the cyber ecosystem in the digitalization arena to produce, distribute, and consume music through digital platforms.

Abstract

The imposition of mandatory hijab in Indonesia is a growing concern that highlights tensions between religious expression and women’s rights. Despite Indonesia’s pluralistic ideas, the enforcement of hijab, for example in schools or public institutions, continues to affect women and girls, reflecting a broader struggle over religious authority and national identity. This study employs a qualitative approach through case studies of several incidents where women were compelled to wear the hijab. Data collection involved document analysis and media review to understand the socio-political and historical dynamics shaping hijab enforcement. Findings show that hijab enforcement persists in various public institutions, including schools, where women are pressured to conform to dress codes based on certain Islamic interpretations. This reflects the hegemonic entanglement of religion and politics in regulating women’s bodies. We identify diverse discourses within the Muslim community regarding the necessity of hijab, revealing internal contestation over religious interpretation. Moreover, the politicization of hijab is deeply rooted in Indonesia’s historical trajectory, including noninclusive education. These findings call for a critical repositioning of the hijab discourse in Indonesia, grounded in democratic values, gender equity, and religious inclusivity. __________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 23rd Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), February 1-4, 2024, at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia.

The potential for conflict in this movement was caused by the tend of “attacking” of this movement toward traditional religious groups. This research is located in Pontianak City West Kalimantan and uses qualitative methods and field research. The data was analyzed using the Islamist theory. The findings of this research are: First, the Salafi Islamic movement is a da’wah movement. The Manhaj Salafi (the Salafi Way) carries out tarbiyah and economic activities. Second, the Manhaj Salafi developed in Pontianak City is an apolitical manhaj and is not a Jihadist Salafi. Third, the responses of outsider groups are diverse, but prejudice is still strong against Salafi Islam, primarily related to the doctrine and its da’wah approach.

Based on the rising conflict potential, it is needed the anticipation to prevent the violence of the conflict between the Salafi movement and the traditional religious groups.

Abstract

The phenomenon of working mothers balancing dual roles as professionals and homemakers is a significant concern within the media industry context, including those working in online media, Kompas.com. This study aims to understand how working mothers in Kompas.com manage these two roles. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with three informants from Megapolitan's editorial division. The results show that informants play a professional role at the “front stage” as self-disciplined, target-oriented, and communicative workers, while doubling as homemakers “backstage” who take care of children and the household. An analysis using Erving Goffman's dramaturgy theory shows that they balance these roles and identities by utilizing impression management. This study shows that working mothers in the media industry are active actors who develop social strategies to play their dual roles, highlighting the importance of support for women in both the workplace and the household.

Abstract

Local culture has an impact on gender participation in education. This research examines how local cultural values affect gender gaps in education participation in Kwala Besar Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. Information was gathered through observations and interviews with different informants (parents, students, teachers and community members). The results show a strong gender gap in attendance at school, with more girls than boys going to school at each level. This disparity reflects community values whereby local boys are encouraged to drop out of school early compared to girls encouraged to attend higher education. It is an unequal system that does not allow for balanced social development; boys are not participating effectively in future economic opportunities as a result of a lack of education, and girls are not placed in significant roles that allow them to contribute to the development of the community. The study demonstrates the strong impact of local cultural values upon the opportunities available to the younger generation, and will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, educators, and development practitioners looking to plan culturally sensitive interventions to advance gender equity in education and community development.

Abstract

The violent and religiously manipulative content of several religious movies can cause trauma to those who view them. This study uses cognitive dissonance theory to analyze how religious movie that highlight aspects of fear in the movie can affect social construction, particularly in light of the possibility of extreme attitudes. Qualitative content analysis using narrative and visual techniques to many key scenes is the methodology employed. The findings demonstrated how the portrayal of religious organizations as purveyors of threatening doctrine that emphasizes punishment affects the psychological strain of the story's characters, leading to internal conflict and a range of responses, such as rejection and extreme tendencies. The results show how authoritative religious teachings might influence psychological and symbolic pressure. To promote critical attitudes and avoid the possible detrimental effects of interpreting teachings that emphasize fear, this research helps clarify the significance of media literacy and the selective distribution of religious beliefs.

Abstract

Bureaucratic transformation in an environment steeped in traditional values demands an unconventional approach to leadership. This article examines how an anthropological perspective can explain the leadership transformation of a mayor who redefines his role-from authority figure to public servant-in the context of Yogyakarta's aristocracy. Using ethnographic methods, including participant observation and in-depth interviews, this study addresses three core questions: how leadership operates as a catalyst for bureaucratic transformation in an aristocratic society; what strategies are used to transform bureaucratic norms into public service; and how civil servants respond to such changes. The research findings suggest that culturally grounded leadership can play an important role in reshaping bureaucratic values and practices. The mayor's leadership broke down entrenched hierarchies, fostering a culture of service and accountability within the bureaucracy. These changes were not only administrative but also structural, contributing to more equitable and responsive governance. Ultimately, this research highlights the importance of context-rooted leadership in public sector reform, emphasizing that transformative change will be more sustainable if leadership strategies are aligned with local cultural frameworks.

Abstract

Semarang City is a coastal city facing serious problems related to climate change impacts, both in its physical environment and social vulnerability. Climate change does not occur in a vacuum, but manifests within a complex of social spaces, including gender relations. Referring to such a socio-ecological perspective, this study attempts to analyze the operational mechanism of climate change by reviewing gender relations as their spatial-social dimension. Simultaneously, this study examines the extent to which climate resilience policies in Semarang City have integrated considerations of the social space. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, FGD, and review of Semarang City's climate resilience policy documents. Descriptive analysis was used to describe how exposure to climate change impacts men and women, while content analysis was used to examine Semarang City's climate resilience policies. The findings indicate that socio-ecological vulnerability is more prevalent among women's groups than men's. It is evident that as women experience more exposure to climate change impacts, and at the same time, the issues of women's vulnerability are not prioritized in climate resilience policies. This research recommends more just, socio-ecological governance in building climate resilience.

Abstract

East Rombiya Village, Sumenep, Madura, is a compelling example of a region actively advancing sustainable village tourism by leveraging its local potential. This study aims to analyze the social innovation initiated by the Village Government through the Village-owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in developing the "Somber Rajeh" tourist destination using an Asset-based Community Development (ABCD) approach, and its impact on community empowerment and the village economy. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the village government, BUMDes managers, and the local community. The results show that the implemented social innovation successfully transformed natural springs into sustainable tourist attractions, created new jobs, increased the village's local income, and strengthened community participation in tourism management. The analysis reveals that synergy among the village government, BUMDes, and the local community is the critical success factor of inclusive and independent tourism development. This study suggests that local assets can be leveraged to generate effective solutions for sustainable village development, grounded in community empowerment.

Abstract

Lack of interest in playing traditional sports due to the development of modern games. However, there are areas that still preserve and even foster solidarity and social resilience through traditional sports. This research aims to reveal the process and social value of traditional Sisemba sports in South Sulawesi. The unit of analysis is informed by a sociological perspective, employing a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques are direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that traditional Sisemba sports help foster the values of solidarity, cooperation, discipline, and resilience, and serve as an arena for learning the values of cooperation, courage, and loyalty to common rules. The game is often held in traditional rituals, such as harvest thanksgiving and gathering, which makes it more than just a physical activity. The dynamics found in social interaction, sportsmanship, and social ethics, involving both physical and emotional interactions, strengthen solidarity between players and teach the importance of accepting risk as part of life.
