International Journal of Indonesian Studies Spring 2016 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN STUDIES SPRING 2016 International Journal of Indonesian Studies ISSN 2203-4692 Volume 1, Issue 3, Spring 2016 Perempuan-perempuan Surokonto Wetan (The Women of Surokonto Wetan) INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN STUDIES SPRING 2016 Frontpiece: Artist: Dewi Candraningrum Perempuan-perempuan Surokonto Wetan Kendal yang mempertahankan tanahnya dari tukar guling tanah Kendeng Rembang oleh PT Semen Indonesia dan PERHUTANI merupakan salah satu dari setidaknya 1 milyar penduduk yang sekarang mengalami persoalan ketahanan pangan dalam kondisi ‘tanpa tanah’. Sementara agrikultur mengalami kerusakan tak terawat akibat terampasnya akses petani dan penggarap atas lahan, sawah dan perkebunan. Masyarakat internasional memiliki tanggung jawab dengan mempertimbangkan kembali inisiatif investasi-investasi dengan memperhatikan konteks redistribusi dan keadilan atas lahan yang berkelanjutan dan aman bagi warga. Pemerintah Jawa Tengah khususnya dalam tataran mikro, terkhusus Kabupaten Kendal, memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mencegah ancaman ketahanan pangan, gizi dan kesehatan keluarga dalam kasus pengambilalihan lahan dari warga Surokonto Wetan ini. Perempuan- perempuan Surokonto Wetan telah dua tahun ini menanam Lesung dalam rahimnya. Lesung adalah metafora dan simbol penumbuk padi sebagai lumbung pangan unit keluarga. Lesung adalah vital bagi ketahanan pangan sebuah negara. Seyogyanya negara mengembalikan Lesung itu pada para perempuan. Hanya dengan cara itulah ketahanan pangan di Indonesia dapat dijamin. The women of Surokonto Wetan who are defending their land from the process of Kendeng Rembang land’s quid pro quo (tukar guling) by two state owned corporations (PT Semen Indonesia and PERHUTANI) are just few of the world’s one billion landless people who are facing food insecurity. With the country’s agricultural sector is experiencing irreparable damage with farmers and farm workers being snatched from their access to land, rice fields and plantation, the government of Central Java Province, especially of Kendal Regency, is responsible for preventing threats to the food self-sufficiency and nutrition supply and health of the deprived families in the acquisition of land from the Surokonto people. The international community also has the moral obligation to reconsider their investment initiatives in regards to sustainable and safe land redistribution and justice for local people.The women of Surokonto Wetan “have planted a lesung (a rice mortar)” in their wombs for the last two years. A lesung, a traditional tool for pounding rice grains, is a metaphorical symbol of a family unit’s food basket and vital for Indonesia’s food self- sufficiency. It is therefore the state’s duty to return the Lesung soon to the women. Only in this way may the process towards the nation’s food sovereignty be ensured. 2 | P a g e INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN STUDIES SPRING 2016 CONTENTS From the Editor Yacinta Kurniasih 4 RESEARCH ARTICLES Religious Ceremonies in Balinese Society: A Case Study of a Cremation Ritual in Tabanan Anom Rajendra & Nicholas Temple 5 Re-inventing Tabloid Journalism in Indonesia Diyah Hayu Rahmitasari 23 Code-switching and English Language Variations among Indonesian Facebookers Billy Nathan Setiawan 41 Structuralism in Eastern Indonesia: An Origin for a Theory in the Social Sciences Yancey Orr and Raymond I.

It has been another difficult but also productive year for our fledgling journal and, again, we are always extremely grateful for everyone’s patience. A number of important steps have been taken including obtaining SCOPUS accreditation as well as imminent listing on the Open Access Journal’s database. We have also reviewed and revised the IJIS Style Guide and request future contributors read and follow these guidelines exactly. Close adherence to the Style Guide will streamline the review and ultimately the publication process. We cannot thank enough our reviewers. Without their contribution, it would be impossible to continue this project. The efficient review of papers is largely what has hindered timely publication of IJIS 3. Those reviewers who have stayed true to their word and reviewed and returned papers in a reasonable timeframe are making a genuine contribution to fostering contemporary and innovative Indonesian scholarship, which is what IJIS is all about! Thank you so much. Of course, given recent developments in Indonesia regarding the importance of publishing in English in international, peer-reviewed journals such as IJIS, we are confident of a bright future for IJIS. As well, the role of reviewing for journals such as IJIS is also well recognised and so we again invite reviewers from all disciplines to contact us. But, again, please do not offer to review unless you can commit to a 6 week turn around. It is simply not fair to the authors to have their scholarship waiting so long and losing its currency. Again, we are very appreciative of the artistic contribution made by Dewi Candraningrum. Special thanks also to Elisabet Titik Murtisari (Satya Wacana University) for her wonderful support, advice and guidance. Finally, we ask for your support firstly in disseminating news of IJIS’s Spring Issue through your networks; second, in constructive critique of this collaborative project; third, and most importantly, contributing your work for publication in future issues.

Biodata: Anom Rajendra is a PhD candidate in the Department of Architecture at University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. He is also a lecturer at Udayana University in Bali. Email: [email protected] Biodata: Nicholas Temple is a Professor of Architecture and Director of the Centre for Urban Design, Architecture and Sustainability (CUDAS) at the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper considers the cremation ceremony in the context of the life of the inhabitants of a Balinese community, tracing relationships between ritual itinerary and topography, and highlighting tensions and conflicts that have emerged between these ritual traditions and recent developments in tourism. The unique feature of the cremation ceremony is not only its procession, and particular architectural forms, but also the accompanying festival events that parade from the house of the deceased to the cemetery. In the investigation, we will explore the historically important site of the Tabanan Palace that forms the geographical and symbolic focus of the ceremony and the route of the procession in the context of the cremation service with its community of participants/onlookers. The processions, and their related rituals, have long been recognised as an integral part of the civic life of the community, which is increasingly being jeopardised as a result of the impact of commercial use. The investigation asks if the preservation of these ceremonies can exist in harmony with these recent developments, without undermining the still vibrant traditional practices of Balinese society. Keywords: Religious ceremonies, cremation ritual, Tabanan Palace Introduction Balinese society today is intimately connected to the long historical development of Hinduism in Bali which was first identified in the eighth century along with the visit to Bali of Rsi Markandya, a Brahmin Hindu saint from India (Wikarman, 1997: 14-6; Ardhana, 2002: 59-60). The Hindu religion has inspired people to live in organised and harmonious communities, backed up by their own laws and creeds. Traditional communities still exist within this social structure, which are of three types: desa pakraman, banjar, and sekehe. Desa pakraman denotes a village in which a local community is defined by a sacred and political space and governed by certain taboos, ritual protocols, and laws, whilst banjar refers to a social community/ organisation within the village based on mutual needs especially in religious activities (Sutjaja, 2009: 37). Finally, sekehe denotes an organised group,

  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Suatu Wilayah Tentunya Selalu Mengalami Dinamika Dan Perkembangan Dengan Adanya Be
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Suatu wilayah tentunya selalu mengalami dinamika dan perkembangan dengan adanya berbagai peristiwa penting termasuk revolusi. Salah satu momen penting yang menyebabkan revolusi yaitu kolonialisme Belanda yang mendapatkan perlawanan dari penduduk setempat yang berusaha untuk memperjuangkan kemerdekaan. Revolusi tersebut telah membuahkan hasil yaitu kemerdekaan wilayah bekas jajahan Hindia Belanda menjadi Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI). Revolusi ternyata belum berakhir, perjuangan Indonesia masih berlanjut untuk mempertahankan kemerdekaan dari agresi militer Belanda maupun perjuangan diplomatik untuk mendapatkan pengakuan kedaulatan dan kemerdekaan secara de facto dan de jure, sehingga tahun 1945 – 1949 sering disebut sebagai masa revolusi kemerdekaan atau revolusi fisik. Berbagai pulau yang ada di Indonesia memiliki nilai strategis yang menyebabkan kedatangan penjajah termasuk di Sumatra. Sumatra memiliki arti penting hingga sekarang terutama sebagai tempat penghasil pertanian melalui perkebunan. Sumatra pernah dikenal sebagai Svarnadvipa of Gold Island yang bermakna pulau yang menghasilkan banyak emas, selain itu Sumatra merupakan pusat perdagangan rempah-rempah1 sehingga para penjajah seperti Portugis, Belanda dan Inggris berusaha datang ke Sumatra. Belanda pernah berkuasa kurang lebih 350 tahun di Indonesia termasuk Sumatra. Peta wilayah kekuasaan Hindia Belanda dapat diamati pada gambar 1. Wilayah Sumatra antara lain meliputi Aceh, Deli, Brastagi, Minangkabau, Palembang. 1 Arti penting Sumatra terutama di masa kolonial yang memiliki berbagai potensi terutama bidang agraria dapat diamati salah satunya dalam karya William Marsden, (1811).

  • Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia
    Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia. Between Muslim Discourse and Women’s Lived Experiences Nina Nurmila Dra (Bandung, Indonesia), Grad.Dip.Arts (Murdoch University, Western Australia), MA (Murdoch University) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Gender Studies - Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Unlike most of the literature on polygamy, which mainly uses theological and normative approaches, this thesis is a work of social research which explores both Indonesian Muslim discourses on polygamy and women’s lived experiences in polygamous marriages in the post-Soeharto period (after 1998). The thesis discusses the interpretations of the Qur’anic verses which became the root of Muslim controversies over polygamy. Indonesian Muslim interpretations of polygamy can be divided into three groups based on Saeed’s categorisation of the Muslim approaches to the Qur’an (2006b: 3). First, the group he refers to as the ‘Textualists’ believe that polygamy is permitted in Islam, and regard it as a male right. Second, the group he refers to as ‘Semi-textualists’ believe that Islam discourages polygamy and prefers monogamy; therefore, polygamy can only be permitted under certain circumstances such as when a wife is barren, sick and unable to fulfil her duties, including ‘serving’ her husband’s needs. Third, the group he calls ‘Contextualists’ believe that Islam implicitly prohibits polygamy because just treatment of more than one woman, the main requirement for polygamy, is impossible to achieve. This thesis argues that since the early twentieth century it was widely admitted that polygamy had caused social problems involving neglect of wives and their children.

  • The Importance of Teaching Slang in the Class of Indonesian As a Second Language
    Prosiding The 4th International Conference on Indonesian Studies: “Unity, Diversity and Future” THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING SLANG IN THE CLASS OF INDONESIAN AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Laura Zarbaliyeva, M.H. Department of Foreign Languages, Azerbaijan University of Languages [email protected] Abstract Slang is a controversial issue in teaching a second language since some teachers consider slang as a lower level of language while the others argue of its being an integral part of everyday language. Language purists choose not to use slang in the classroom because they associate it with vulgarity which would not be appropriate for academic environment. On the other hand, those who approve teaching slang believe that it is a key to a certain language speaking world. Indonesian slang that differs significantly from the standard language in both vocabulary and grammatical structure is used not only in everyday conversation but it also penetrated into popular media these days. This is the reason why an Indonesian language learner who has been taught only the proper version of the language faces difficulties in communicating with a native speaker or in fully understanding newspaper articles and TV programs. This paper suggests introducing slang in classes of Indonesian as a second language to increase confidence in students to interact actively with native speakers which can be realized via song lyrics, movies and role plays. Keywords: Indonesian as a second language, slang, second language teaching A. Introduction Based on the experience of teaching Indonesian as a second language for several years, the author supports teaching slang in the classroom for many reasons.

Bumiputra doctors who contributed to GTNI included Bahder Djohan and Johannes Leimena. However, they were not the only authors who contributed to GTNI during the Dutch East Indies era. After Indonesia became independent, both doctors played major roles in laying the foundation for Indonesia’s health education system and implementing village-based health policies.

  • The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema
    The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema Ekky Imanjaya Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies December 2016 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Classic Indonesian exploitation films (originally produced, distributed, and exhibited in the New Order’s Indonesia from 1979 to 1995) are commonly negligible in both national and transnational cinema contexts, in the discourses of film criticism, journalism, and studies. Nonetheless, in the 2000s, there has been a global interest in re-circulating and consuming this kind of films. The films are internationally considered as “cult movies” and celebrated by global fans. This thesis will focus on the cultural traffic of the films, from late 1970s to early 2010s, from Indonesia to other countries. By analyzing the global flows of the films I will argue that despite the marginal status of the films, classic Indonesian exploitation films become the center of a taste battle among a variety of interest groups and agencies. The process will include challenging the official history of Indonesian cinema by investigating the framework of cultural traffic as well as politics of taste, and highlighting the significance of exploitation and B-films, paving the way into some findings that recommend accommodating the movies in serious discourses on cinema, nationally and globally.
