Core Subject : Humanities, Art,
Cultural studies constitutes an interdisciplinary area critically discussing socio-political contexts of various cultural practices in society. Its focus is on the relation among such cultural practices and the power controlling them. Cultural studies was pioneered by the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) of the University of Birmingham, England, in 1960s. Unlike what has been a tradition in the modern epistemology, cultural studies is concerned with what human emancipation aims at. Therefore, cultural studies does not only refer to a theoretical-conceptual matter but also to the location and critical action in which it manifests itself.

Abstract

Batur region in Kintamani Subdistrict, Bangli, Bali, is at first a living place of a group of local people with holy, sacred markers characterized by Hinduism. The most popular holy markers are Mount Batur (1717 m), Lake Batur, and Pura (Temple) Ulun Danu Batur. Later Batur is known as a tourist destination where many tourists both domestic and international come and go everyday. This paper describes the existence of the Batur region as a unity of three things: sanctity or holiness (sacred area), social relations of the local community, and tourism business. This study is qualitative which its data is taken from books, journals, and other documents with the techniques of qualitative data analysis. The result of the study shows there is a high complexity in Batur due to its position as a sanctuary (holy area), a place of community life, and a tourism area. Batur is a sacred area, at least because of the Mount Batur, Lake Batur, and Ulun Danu Batur Temple so that such a region is honoured by all Hindu believers in Bali and outside Bali. However, today, Batur is also known as a popular tourist area because the mount, the lake, and the temple are really very interesting to be enjoyed (or consumed as tourism products) and in fact, the region is also surrounded by other beautiful tourist attractions in Batur and Kintamani, i.e. Penelokan, Toyabungkah, Trunyan village, agricultural fields, and a new, man-made one that is the Batur Global Geopark.

Abstract

Penghancuran pusaka budaya berupa bangunan bersejarah di Kota Medan disikapi secara berbeda oleh pemerintah dan masyarakat setempat. Pemerintah Kota Medan menyetujui penghancuran tersebut untuk pembangunan antara lain pusat-pusat perbelanjaan dengan alasan terciptanya lapangan kerja sekaligus peningkatan pendapat asli daerah Kota Medan. Sebaliknya, masyarakat memperjuangkan kelestarian bangunan bersejarah sebagai bukti sejarah masyarakat Medan yang plural dan multikultural. Sebagai modal budaya, pusaka budaya tersebut memiliki potensi besar dalam mengantisipasi kecenderungan pariwisata global dan posmodern.Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Format disain, pengumpulan data, dan strategi analisis datanya bersifat deskriptif-kualitatif. Sumber data terdiri atas data primer yang diperoleh dari wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipasi dan metode penelitian berganda sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari dokumentasi. Hasil analisis disajikan secara informal melalui deskripsi induktif-analitik.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, dalam pembangunan Kota Medan, terdapat kekuatan pemerintah dan pengusaha/pemilik bangunan bersejarah yang mengorbankan pusaka budaya demi pendirian gedung-gedung bisnis modern, seperti pusat-pusat perbelanjaan. Sebagai akibatnya, Kota Medan mengalami komodifikasi yang mengancam pusaka budaya dan pengembangan pariwisata. Puluhan bangunan bersejarah yang sudah dihancurkan termasuk tiga yang dilindungi oleh Perda Nomor 6 Tahun 1988.Melalui diskursus kontra-hegemoniknya, masyarakat yang didukung oleh masyarakat sipil setempat, khususnya LSM seperti Badan Warisan Sumatra (BWS), di samping para intelektual dan media massa, melakukan perjuangan atas pelestarian pusaka budaya dan tuntutan terhadap hak azasi budayanya. Pelestarian pusaka budaya di Kota Medan adalah terkait kepentingan praksis emansipasi masyarakat dan sesuai dengan cita-cita kajian budaya, yaitu praksis dan emansipatoris.

Abstract

Mabarung (competition) of performing art is a cultural heritage in North Bali and has highly contributed to the development of the Balinese art and culture. The tradition of mabarung of performing art which was created in Buleleng Regency constitutes the competitive arena of life in which every pebarung (the player who is involved) does his best to perform the best by optimally presenting the quality of his performance. Based on what was described above, it was necessary to reveal the tradition of mabarung of performing art in Buleleng Regency. The present study focused on the meaningfulness of the implied ideology of the mabarung of performing art in Buleleng Regency.  The result of the study showed that the cultural representation, which was actualized into the mabarung of performing art appeared from the ideas of the grass- root. The government interfered in the mabarung of performing art and a change took place; the mabarung of performing art which used to be freely performed was then performed as a festival/competition, causing the ideology it contained to change. The phenomenon of the mabarung of performing art reflected a self image; the players felt embarrassed if they lost ‘majengah-jengahan’, performed differently from others, and felt too proud of themselves ‘ajum’. In relation to that, it could be identified that the cultural representation which created the tradition of mabarung of performing art in Buleleng Regency was inspired by the ideology of freedom and self existence.

Abstract

Cultural and structural injustice resulting from the difference in genre which has been strongly adhered to by the Balinese community has been responsible for divorce, its settlement, and its implication on the Balinese women in Denpasar City. This study was intended to deconstruct, anticipate and implant the concept of structural and cultural injustice resulting from the difference in genre. The data were qualitatively analyzed using the analysis of gender. The theories used were the critical theory of postmodern such as the theory of hegemony and the theory of deconstruction and the other critical theories which are relevant to the present study. The result of the study shows that the divorce undergone by the Balinese women was the manifestation of the structural and cultural injustice resulting from the difference in gender. The decisions made through the traditional law and the Act Number 1 of 1974 concerning Divorce are still biased in regard to genre. The divorce undergone by the Balinese women affected the related families (the ex-wife’s family, the ex-husband’s family, and the other families related to them. The patriarchal ideology caused the Balinese women to be marginalized and subordinated and sensitive to both physical and psychological coercions. Economically, they were also neglected. The injustice in gender could also be eternalized through legal regulations. The Act Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is still biased; it still refers to the traditional law which benefits men in divorce.
