One important theme attached to pop culture is the politics of representation and sub-cultural identity. The pop singer Madonna and then the Spice Girls are frequently regarded as the representation of modern women offering a different face of feminism ideology. Successfully entering the market competition, Madonna, through her cry of 'material girl', characterizes herself as an independent woman in the still dominating patriarchal world while challenging the burden of morality placed on the shoulders of women. She asks young women to rebel against male-centred traditions and unashamedly exposes her sensuality as a source of power and even domination, or in short celebrating 'being women'. The flag of Girl Power is also waved by the 1990'sBritish female singers, the Spice Girls, who call young girls to "be strong, be brave, be loud and control your own destiny. Believe that your self can do anything you want to do and be confident. We have to be independent, but it does not mean that you don't need a boy" (Swastika 2004: 66).

As a particular type of tradition, rituals have been of interest to folklorists and anthropologists. Understood as repeated, patterned, and contextualized performances, rituals could be in "low contexts" meaning that they are less formally, unplanned in advance, and. do not demand for complicated performances, or in "high contexts" that they are realized in a highly stylized and formalized occasions, and set as public events. This article attempts to describe an access ritual, called paariyangu (ritual of being a guest and a host), conducted by the people of (eastern) Sumba living in the east part of Indonesia. Visiting somebody's house is an act of entering somebody else's private domain. It is therefore necessary for the both parties (i.e. the guest and the host) to abide to certain manners so as to maintain a desirable social encounter. Key words: access ritual, Sumba, traditions, low contexts, high contexts

Those who attempt to voice critically about the injustice done by the state frequently face the government's" iron hands ". Indonesia history has noted how some Indonesian critics from various fields are accused of threatening national stability so that they have to be culturized through many kinds of terror. Conscience writers (Mangunwijaya s term) are the easy targets of state violence because they portray the powerless, "wong cilik" (the common folk/little people) as the victims of development, and the inappropriateness of the elites' behavior. For an authoritative regime. such criticism doesn't sound good because it makes look bad in front of the public. In the New Order regime. Wiji Thukul is one of Indonesian poets who does an advocacy for "wong cilik ". His poems are screams of the people from huts,factories. and graves.

Publisher : Soegijapranata Catholic University

This paper provides some information on the island of Sumba and its people. As a cultural community not possessing a writing system, the Sumbanese people preserve and transmit their tradition-based creations such as language, literature, music, games, mythology, and rituals, for generations through oral communications. The peoples oral traditions, taking forms in some genres, have become inseparable parts of their lives. Though the vocabularies in daily usage are the same with the ones used in special occasions, for instance, in rituals, the metaphorical construction of language of the latter demands special attention.

Abstract: The use of figurative speech is pervasive in many cultures both in work of literature and day-to-day communication. This specific use of language is one of the many strategies of communication which is imaginative and indirect in nature. Since its meaning is culturally-bounded, then the maning of a particular figurative speech varies from one culture to another. The goals of this paper are a) presenting figurative speeches of animal used in ritual communication, delivered in the local languge, Kambera and then translated into Indonesian; b) explaining the meaning of the figurative speeches in the contexts of Sumbanese culture; c) categorizing the animal metaphors or similes in terms of its positive or negative meanings. Data of ritual couplets are obtained from a library study and interviews with some informatns from eastern Sumba. To understand the meanings of the couplets, the writer conducted interviews and discussion with the informants. The research shows that there are 26 kinds of animal involved in 64 collected couplets. Figurarive speeches using animals generally portray the undesirable traits working against the living norms in the Sumbanese society. They function as a social control over people’s behaviors. Keywords: figurative speech, ritual language, Eastern Sumba Abstrak: Penggunaan bahasa kiasan (atau majas) sangat umum dalam banyak kebudayaan, baik dalam dunia kesustraan sastra maupun komunikasi sehari-hari. Bahasa kiasan adalah salah satu strategi komunikasi yang bersifat imaginatif dan tidak langsung yang menggambarkan bagaimana pengguna memahami dunianya. Karena pemaknaannya berkaitan erat dengan konteks budaya orang yang menggunakannya, maka arti bahasa ini bervariasi dari satu budaya ke budaya yang lain. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah a) menghadirkan majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual yang terucap dalam bahasa lisan lokal, Kambera. Bahasa ritual Kambera juga diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia; b) menguraikan makna bahasa ritual tersebut dalam kaitannya dengan pengambaran realitas kehidupan, dan c), yang berkaitan dengan tujuan kedua, menjelaskan apakah potret manusia melalui majas tersebut berkonotasi positif atau negatif. Data diperoleh melalui convenience sampling dari studi pustaka dan wawancara dengan nara sumber dari Sumba Timur. Pemaknaan majas juga dilakukan melalui wawancara dan diskusi dengan beberapa nara sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 26 jenis binatang dalam 64 bait ritual yang dikumpulkan. Citra binatang pada umumnya mengambarkan perilaku yang bertentangan dengan tatanan norma atau kepatutan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual orang Sumba menjadi semacam kontrol sosial terhadap perilaku anggota masyarakatnya. Kata kunci: majas, bahasa ritual, Sumba Timur

LINGUAMEDIA Journal Vol 1, No 1 (2020): Maret: Linguamedia Journal
Publisher : Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang

Children’s folklore is common in all cultures. During childhood, children engage in activities to build friendship, have fun, and above all to develop particular life qualities. Though children’s folklore did not quite attract folklorist’s interest in the early development of folklore studies, now, it has become an attracting arena of interests for many social scientists. This research attempts to give a descriptive analysis of the children’s folklore, i.e. games, in eastern Sumba, Indonesia. The invasive presence of technology certainly affects the existence of “old-time” children’s folklore. Children of the present are heavily exposed to “modern games” that overpower the vitality of the traditional games. Some people see this shift as something inevitable, and the only way to respond to this situation is by accepting this “game revolution.” However, some old-time game supporters attempt to revitalize the old-time children folklore by holding events where children’s traditional games are performed. The latter believe that maintaining children folklore is of importance because it is a matter of identity, and above all, children’s modern games cannot replace the social values offered by the traditional ones. This present article, written based on the data from interviews and discussions on social media, aims to list some traditional games in eastern Sumba. Like any other children in other parts of the world, Sumbanese children are also friendly with modern games. Yet, some still perform the “old time” games. In addition, this article also gives some description of each game and the values the participants might learn from the children’s folklore. Key words: folklore, children’s folklore, eastern Sumba
