Abstract

ABSTRACT: There are various art forms in West Java, starting from dances, music, fine arts, to theater. Based on the research results, it was found that there were more or less 300 types of arts spread in various cities and regencies. However, some of them are “dying”, or in a “severely critical” condition, and some have even disappeared. In other words, the traditional arts of West Java have dwindled in number, even the existing arts are in the danger of extinction. Among these “dying” arts, there are still some that thrive and continue to be loved by the supporting communities. One of the surviving arts is the “tarawangsa” traditional music developed in Sumedang area, especially in Sukaluyu region, Girimukti Village Administrative, North Sumedang District, Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Meanwhile, there has not been much in-depth research on local wisdom, ultimately in the domain of traditional music. Hence, this paper would like to discuss one of the research outcomes concerning the transformations of “tarawangsa” traditional music. The issues covered include: “tarawangsa” songs, the “laras” (scale) played, and its development in Sukaluyu Village, Girimukti Administrative Village, Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Based on the research results, there are two important assumptions: firstly, the transformations of “tarawangsa” traditional music are immanent in nature, namely they happen because of the creative process of the artists; and secondly, the transformations take place because there is contact between Sukaluyu artists and other area artists. KEY WORDS: Transformation, “tarawangsa” traditional music, ritual, local wisdom, Sumedang area, and creative process of the artists.About the Author: Nanang Supriatna is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Music Education, Faculty of Language and Art Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Java, where the VOC (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie or East Hindia-Dutch Company) — later a colonial state — established its base, was undoubtedly one of the most important regions in East Indies, which attracted colonial era of Europeans, not to mention those who relied on visual images, especially in 19th century. It was the age when revolution broke out in Europe and liberal thoughts paved the way for private companies to open business in the colony, resulting various writings and drawings made by Europeans, especially the Dutch and British, on the East Indies, especially Java. This essay discusses three interrelated subjects in the history of European visual representation of Dutch East Indies (the present day Indonesia). Firstly, the attractiveness of East Indies, especially Java, as Dutch colony in Asia, for 19th century European society as could be seen from innumerable pictures and travelogues on the region and world-class exhibitions on the subject, in both the Netherlands and France, which displayed various aspects of the land and people. Secondly, the significance of Priangan, a mountainous region in western part of Java, in the eyes of 19th century European, who traveled and conducted scientific investigations in the region so that the mountain region became a subject of various images and narratives. Thirdly, the role of Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn (1809-1864), probably the most important researcher and explorer of Java at the time, in the production of visual images and travelogues of the land.KEY WORDS: Dutch East Indies, Java island, Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn, history, Priangan, European society, and visual representation.  About the Authors: H.W.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Copra, as an economic commodity, was used as a political issue rather than overcoming economic problems. The concept of political self-reliance and anti-imperialism by means of nationalization on foreign companies in Indonesia, in 1950s, seem to be correlated directly with the discontinuity of Indonesian economy up to now. As an archipelago state, today Indonesia is threatened economic disintegration in the whole islands which gradually also threatens national disintegration. National integration can only be strengthened if it is followed by economic integration of all islands. National integration developed so far hasn’t taken the maximum advantages of inter-island relation as an economic power, so that the economic policy of Indonesia seems to be partial. Consequently, the conflict between central and local government has always been highlighted by political aspects. The importance of economic power in supporting national integration was  still kept freshly in mind of the whole community members of East Indonesia, since commodity of copra was placed as regional economic power in East Indonesia and being a national economy. However, when the politics dominantly controlled economic policy, the copra export trade system in the area collapsed. This situation was used by military in Sulawesi for controlling the copra export. They established new trade system namely barter system. As the result, economic integration was stagnant and monopolized by national political elite in Jakarta. Today, this regions (East Indonesia  generally and South Sulawesi particularly) are only fragments of archipelago’s economy for the sake of parties controlled by Jakarta.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article deals with the human’s role in altering the environmental realities and the adaptation to the changing environment in the context of forest resources exploitation. The study is focused on a region of Java, called the Residency of Besuki, during the period of 1870-1970. The extraction of forest resources in the region had long taken place, but from circa 1870, it grew on an increasingly large scale. The growth was induced by the rising market demands for forest products and was facilitated by the gradually improved extraction technologies. Diverse products were taken from the region’s forests to provide construction materials, firewoods, foodstuffs, and other requirements. The commercial extractions immediately led to a resource depletion and the small territorial size of the region made the possibilities of adopting a frontier’s exploit-and move-on attitude more limited. Under this constraint, adaptations were developed to adjust with the decline in forest resource supplies and to meet the challenges in securing the resources in demand by developing human-made production forests. This indicated that there was already interest in sustainable forest exploitation. The impact of the forest exploitation, however, was larger than being merely a matter of resource supplies. It also radically altered the region’s environmental realities by replacing heterogenous natural forests with more homogenous human-made production forests. This change inevitably also led to the loss of the region’s biodiversity richness.KEY WORDS: Environmental change, forest exploitation, human impact, colonial and early independence periods, Besuki residency, and Java island.About the Author: Dr. Nawiyanto is a Lecturer at the Department of History, Faculty of Letters UNJEM (University of Jember), Jalan Kalimantan No.37 Jember 68121, East Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The used of the digital computer surely affects the born of postmodern aesthetic. This indication can be observed by looking at the music work that be produced. Every piece of it has aesthetical values, such as Pastiche, Kitsch, Parody, Camp, and Schizophrenic. These five values are the characteristics of aesthetical art produced by mass culture. This is an identity of postmodern culture. In mass culture, there is a sign of simulation system that does not reflect the signs out of itself, but it is a sign that represents the being of the sign itself. Moreover, behind the aesthetical value produced by the digital devices, it also creates the system of hyper-semiotics sign (beyond semiotic), because there are illusion signs like pseudo sign, false sign, and simulation sign. This writing is an analysis about the effect of modernity toward the value of digital music’s aesthetic that be created by using computer devices. The purpose is to reveal how far is the effect of modernity toward the reproduction process of digital music, and also what does the beauty of a music work created by a computer look like. The basic assumption, as the background of this writing, is triggered by the awareness that the birth of digital music works cannot be separated from the development of the modern culture, such as computer device. By using computer, in the end, everyone can create music work easily, because the reproduction is so different with the one done by using manual ways. In doing  this research, the writer uses historical approach, or diachronic, by looking at the present event, then connected to the previous time, so that the whole event can be identified.KEY WORDS: Effect of modernity, computer device, digital music’s aesthetic, system of hyper-semiotics sign, historical approach, and postmodern culture.About the Author: Agus Santoso, M.Sn. is a Lecturer of Musical Art at the Faculty of Art and Literature Science UNPAS (Pasundan University), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.193, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The main factor of the frozen China – Indonesia diplomatic relationship was the loss of trusts of Indonesia toward China in connection with the G-30-S (Gerakan 30 September or 30th September Movement) in 1965. Interestingly, in this frozen diplomatic relationship era, there was a direct trade agreement between CCPIT (China Council for Promotion on International Trade) and KADIN (Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia or Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry). This fact leads to the question: is there and what are the real efforts of China to restore the trust from Indonesia? This research used the history research method and enhanced by the “Mianzi” concept. The result of this research shows that since PRC (People Republic of China) stipulate revolutionary diplomatic line, which makes China closer to the USA (United States of America), its relationship with the neighboring countries, especially those tied in the ASEAN (Association of South East Asia Nations) organization, is getting better. This improvement can be seen as a way to gain the trust from Indonesia again. It is also clearly seen that China uses the third party and makes the advantages of the opportunities given by the internal and external development to create a good image to Indonesia. All these steps have led the respect factors in the “Mianzi” concepts has showed very meaningful influences within the process. Although the CCPIT – KADIN agreement is not the mostly expected result, but it is the important moment for the growing trust of these two countries and the effort to normalize the China – Indonesia diplomatic relationship.   KEY WORDS: China-Indonesia relationship, trust, respect factors, “Mianzi” concept, third party, effort to normalize, and diplomatic relationship.   About the Author: Dr. Tuty Enoch Muas is a Senior Lecturer at the Chinese Studies Program, Faculty of Humanities UI (University of Indonesia), UI Campus Depok, West Java, Indonesia.
