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

The practice of using music at the Batak Toba ethnic traditional ceremony in Denpasar city has transformed. The transformation was from gondang sabangunan traditional music into uning-uningan modern music. Furthermore, uning-uningan modern music dominated or used more often rather than gondang sabangunan traditional music in Denpasar city. The main factor which causes this transformation is there are no artists who are able to use gondang sabangunan traditional ensemble music. The aims of this study are to know the causes of the transformation of gondang sabangunan traditional music into uning-uningan modern music, the forms of the transformation of gondang sabangunan traditional music into uning-uningan modern music, to figure out the implication of the transformation of gondang sabangunan traditional music into uning-uningan modern music. The results showed that the transformation occurred because of the internal factors which consist of economic factors, artists’ creativity factors, the lack of understanding of the Batak Toba gondang traditional, and the lack of cultural transmission to the young generation. Otherwise, the external factors consist of globalization factors, and pop culture factors. The transformation forms of gondang sabangunan traditional music into uning-uningan modern music such as the formation transformation of music instruments, the transformation in using repertoire types, the position transformation of the musicians, the transformation of execution time, and the musician’s identity transformation. The implications of the transformation of gondang sabangun traditional music into uning-uningan modern music are the fading of gondang traditional music, switching functions into entertainment, the artists are more concerned with material, and the young generation is less familiar with gondang traditional music. Keywords: transformation, gondang sabangunan traditional music, uning-uningan modern

Abstract

This research starts from the existence of a gap between reality (dassein) and idealism (dassolen) that so far the position of the traditional village chief has always been occupied by men, not a single woman has held this position, even though ideally women can also become traditional village chiefs because there is no prohibition for women to do so. The theories used in the theoretical basis for this research are deconstruction theory, intersectionality theory, and subaltern theory. The research method used is a qualitative research method, with observation and interview techniques used in data collection. Data analysis was carried out deconstructively. The results of the study indicate that the strong dominance of the masculine in the leadership of the Buduk Traditional Village is based on or motivated by three main things: (1) various political ideologies that support patriarchal culture, (2) the interest to maintain the power of men, (3) the practice of giving meaning to women. Women and men in the context of traditional villages which show various meanings. These various meanings essentially indicate efforts to legitimize men's power and women's subordination, accompanied by co-optation and manipulation efforts to realize the legitimacy of men's power and women's subordination in traditional village life. Keywords: traditional village, leadership, patriarchal culture, discourse, deconstruction

Abstract

Reading, writing, arithmetic or what is abbreviated as calistung are basic skills that are often a problem for students. The practice in the field of calistung learning curriculum at the kindergarten and elementary school levels is out of sync. The calistung learning curriculum at the kindergarten level is not allowed to be taught directly, while the elementary school curriculum requires first graders to master calistung. This study aims to analyze the form of power relations in the calistung learning curriculum, reveal the factors behind power relations, as well as uncover and examine the impact of power relations in the calistung learning curriculum on kindergarten and elementary school students. This study uses a qualitative approach with interpretive descriptive-qualitative data analysis. The results showed: first, the form of power relations in calistung learning in the TK/RA and SD/MI curriculum was extracurricular and private calistung activities. Second, this power relation occurs against the background of several factors, namely the TK/RA 2013 curriculum and SD/MI 2013 curriculum, institutional policies, demands of guardians of students, community assessments, and acceptance of new elementary/MI students. Third, power relations in calistung learning have positive and negative impacts. The positive impact is that students become more confident in learning activities because they have mastered calistung. The negative impact is that students become depressed with lessons, lose playing time, untraceable mindsets, decrease interest in learning because they feel they have mastered, get angry easily when stressed with lessons, and decrease achievement. This condition is known as "mental hectic". The government must take firm action against institutions that violate the established curriculum. Institutions, educators and guardians of students must be wise in providing calistung material to children or students, calistung must be given according to the stages. Keywords: power relations, learning, calistung, curriculum

Abstract

Rejang is a sacred dance that has certain standards in its creation and performance. This sacred dance is performed during the Dewa Yadnya ceremony by taking into account the place, time, and means of offerings that have been determined. However, recently a new creation of Rejang dance has emerged which has a function not for religious ceremonies, but for other purposes such as entertainment to achieve a MURI (Indonesian Record Museum) record. This type of Rejang Dance is the Rejang Sandat Ratu Segara Dance which was staged on August 18, 2018 in Tanah Lot, Tabanan, Bali. This certainly attracts the attention of the people of Tabanan and causes this dance to be widely discussed on social media and in real life. This article examines the form of the Rejang Sandat Ratu Segara Dance and finds out how it differs from the Rejang dance in Bali. The research method used is qualitative research with descriptive and explanatory exposure. In this study, there are several differences in the form of the Rejang Sandat Ratu Segara dance with the Rejang dance that developed in Bali such as movement, dancers, clothing, and settings. Keywords: Rejang Sandat Ratu Segara Dance, Tanah Lot Tabanan, MURI record, sacred art

Abstract

The development of Bali tourism industry has influenced various sectors of Balinese life, including how they define education. This study aims to examine the power relations of the tourism industry and the dominant ideology contained in the implementation of education in South Kuta. The problems were analyzed using Michel Foucault’s power relation theory and Pierre Bourdieu’s generative structural theory. This research was designed by cultural studies and analyzed by interpretive qualitative methods. The results show that the tourism industry has become the dominant ideology in education development in South Kuta. Some schools responded to the growth of the tourism industry in South Kuta by establishing tourism-related majors. The power relations of the tourism industry in the world of education have led to the vocational education phenomenon. Vocational education is related to the concept of link and match such as connecting education with the industrial world which is being heavily campaigned by the government. On the other hand, students choose schools and tourism majors because they feel very attached to the tourism sector. Students seem to have no other options but tourism. In addition, students experience cultural unconsciousness and perceive the tourism industry as something natural. They understand the tourism industry as something familiar. Thus, students are no longer questioning or being critical of the tourism industry due to it becoming the dominant ideology. Keywords: power relation, tourism industry, ideology, vocational education

Abstract

The practice of Hindu marriages in Bali has been unknowingly hit by the name pop culture, or in lifestyle terms as pre-wedding photos. The wedding customs of the Hindu community in Bali as a local tradition or local culture that previously did not recognize the term pre-wedding photos began to be inserted and produced through materialistic discourses and practices. Pre-wedding photos encourage the presence of an element of hyperreality from the millennial lifestyle that is mixed by digital and virtual spaces, as a trend of 'futuristic', 'replica', and 'copy' which has actually surpassed reality itself since its presence in 1996. The research is located in Bali and uses qualitative methods. The problems studied include (1) why there is a tendency for hyperreality in pre-wedding photos; (2) what are the forms of hyperreality of pre-wedding photos in Bali; (3) what are the implications of the hyperreality of pre-wedding photos in Bali. In general, this research is to deconstruct what is behind the pre-wedding photo phenomenon and reveal facts that can provide an overview of knowledge and understanding of its relationship with the hyper-reality of pre-wedding photos in Bali. The analysis of this research uses several theories, namely hypersemiotic theory, deconstruction theory, and commodification theory. The results show that (1) the factors that cause hyperreality in pre-wedding photos are lifestyle factors, commercial industry factors, globalization factors, and the factors of negotiation between photographers and clients (brides); (2) forms of hyperreality in pre-wedding photos in Bali show visual engineering, cultural fabrication, love accentuation, hybrid identity, parody and reinterpretation of style; (3) the implications of the hyperreality of pre-wedding photos in Bali show three implications, namely the implications of aesthetic innovation, the implications of an unstable commercial industry, and the implications of shifting meaning. What is presented in the pre-wedding photo phenomenon is a celebration of desire (symbol sales) in various manipulative ways and various supporting media. Keywords: Hyperreality, pre-wedding photos, Hindu community, Bali

Abstract

Most of the Muna community are shifting cultivators who are very dependent on their natural environment, so they always adapt and interact with nature. One of the media used to adapt and interact with nature is ritual tingka. In practice, the ritual tingka contains symbolic messages for nature conservation and a form of human appreciation for nature, flora, and fauna as a whole. The objective of this study was to study and analyze the ecological wisdom of shifting cultivation related to land conservation and the form of human appreciation for nature through farming rituals. This study used a normative survey method which was carried out in seven villages in Muna regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, and focus group discussions. The collected data were analyzed using flow analysis techniques. The results showed that symbolically the tingka ritual was the institutionalization of knowledge of land conservation through agro forestry patterns, namely by combining the planting of trees such as bamboo, areca nut, kapok with food and secondary crops. Ritual tingka is a form of respect for nature to create a harmonious relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm, so that farmers are protected from various disasters. Keywords: Shifting cultivation; rituals Itingka; ethnoecology; and Muna community

Abstract

This paper is a description of the ideological struggle in the spirituality of Balinese society in the middle Bali Period which was articulated through discourse as a discursive. The choice of such a topic departs from a perception of the typology of Balinese society which is assumed to have spiritual stability, but instead experiences ideological struggles in this realm as indicated by the phenomenon of the middle Bali period. The phenomenon of spirituality is elaborated as a problem which includes the form and the implications of ideological struggles in the spirituality of the Balinese people of the Middle Bali Period. The explanation of the variables in this paper uses critical discourse theory which refers to Foucault's view. The results of the study reveal that the forms of the spirituality of Balinese society in the middle Bali Period include strengtheningteachings of Shiva and strengthening the Shiva-Buddhist concept. Meanwhile, the implications of the struggle include appreciation of the authority of Shiva Sidhanta's teachings and degradation of cognition of "Shiva Bhujangga" teachings. Keywords: the struggle of ideology, spirituality, Balinese society, and the Middle Bali Period

Abstract

This research is a neo-institutionalism analysis study to political dynasty issue in the accordance with the embodiment concept of good governance in Tabanan district. As it is known that after the reformation, Tabanan was led by the same family generation. By focusing on the health service sector, this study will look at to what extent the dynastic politics has an impact on the public policy sector and the realization of good governance. In general, the health service policy pursued by the Tabanan Regency government is a non-populist policy. The local government chose to build international hospital rather than providing free health services for the poor. All this time, the study about political dynasty and the effect to the public policy sector in Tabanan is only seen as a mere political problem without looking at the deep state structure, the normative function and culture in it. This study found that there are a conflict between sociological institution, historical institution, and rational choice institution behind the strong dynastic politics as well as the struggles in realizing good governance in Tabanan Regency. Keywords: political dynasty, good governance, neo-institutionalism, public policy, Tabanan district.
