Based on the phenomenon occurred, the culture could be interpreted in an accordance with the spirit of time and society. Within the national framework, this issue was not simple because the nationalism that was built on the plots of localism was not impossible to be changed. The research method employed the qualitative method. The data were the form of discourses contained in the local mass media. The results show that the language that is being used by the local media that describes the meaning of low bargaining of political position and national leadership. The construction of the local media in depicting the Sundanese culture is classified as the national, cultural, Islamic, and other aspects of culture. In the context of national leadership, the construction strengthens and affirms the faced condition and the reality. In terms of cultural relations with Islam, the local media shows the positive aspects of the condition and the history of the Sundanese people that has been known as a religious ethnic group. In terms of the cultural relations with other aspects, the people of West Java are advised to make an inward reflection in viewing the existence of Sundanese culture within the national context. The ideologies that established by the local media towards the Sundanese culture are idealism, primordial, and pragmatism-realistic.

The cultural issues are characterized contrary to the issue of nationalism (Rozi, 2009). There is by three main characteristics. The first characteristic is the a long debate about the existence of regional languages in emergence of a global acculturation movement that nullifies the middle of the Indonesian civilization movement. Along the importance of local identity in the international arena. with the strengthening of post-reformation local forces, the The issue can be seen among the young generation who local culture has gained momentum to rise and play a role view the global culture (modernization) as a mainstream. in local-scale development in several regions.

This is evident from various changes This phenomenon is enough to seize the attention of in the sense of nationalism that continues to be eroded in many parties, especially with the various local government both substantive and symbolic forms. For example, the policies, which are the preservation of the local culture, increasing use of foreign languages in the public spaces as if present behavior and cultural manifestations that are seen the country is not inhabited and not devoted to the Indonesian not in line with the issues of nationalism and religion (Saidi, people who speak Bahasa and local languages.

  • Sundanese Language Survival Among Indonesian Diaspora Families in Melbourne, Australia
    Ahmad Bukhori Muslim, Sundanese Language Survival Among Indonesian Diaspora Families SUNDANESE LANGUAGE SURVIVAL AMONG INDONESIAN DIASPORA FAMILIES IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA Ahmad Bukhori Muslim Indonesia University of Education [email protected] Abstract Most migrant families living anywhere in the world, are concerned with maintaining their ethnic language, in order to sustain a sense of belonging to the country of their origin and enable extended family harmony. This study explores the survival of Sundanese language among eight Indonesian families of West Java origin (Sundanese speakers) living permanently in Melbourne, Australia. Most of these families migrated to Australia in the 1950s as Colombo Plan scholars and unskilled labourers. Semi-structured interviews and home observations showed that, despite believing in the importance of Sundanese language in their diasporic life, speaking Sundanese is the only practice that most of the participating parents, can do to maintain their language, alongside Bahasa Indonesia and English, to show they belong to the Sundanese culture. However, Sundanese language levels of politeness limit its use among their Australia-born second generation, making this ethnic language unlikely to survive. The young people only understand and copy a few routine words of greetings and short instructions. The study also suggests that the parents needed to be accommodative in order to maintain the Sundanese language by combining it with English and Bahasa Indonesia. Key words: Sundanese language maintenance, Indonesian diaspora, parental advice and values INTRODUCTION Like other local ethnic groups of Historically most Sundanese people Indonesia, a lot of Sundanese people migrate have lived in the Western part of Java Island, to various overseas countries, including long before the independence of Indonesia.

    Notes on the Transformation of the East Timor Military C ommand and its Implications Indonesia1 Douglas Kammen In early August, an editorial in the Jakarta Post about atrocities committed by the military in Aceh summed up much national sentiment in Indonesia in no uncertain terms. As shocking as those revelations [from Aceh] may be, the use of excessive force on civilians by members of the Armed Forces is not actually new. To this day, the 1991 Santa Cruz incident in the East Timorese capital of Dili remains an indelible stain on the history of Indonesia's presence in the troubled province.2 From this lament about Indonesia's "presence" abroad, the editorial shifts to the domestic scene. Similar force was applied during the July 27,1996 riot in Jakarta which is still a hot topic for public debate. Most recently of course was the abduction and torture of young, dissenting political activists. In other words, [sic] the use of brutal and excessive force on citizens of this country, during peacetime, by members of their own Armed Forces intent on achieving political objectives. The editorial concludes: 1 1 would like to thank Ben Anderson, David Bourchier, Michael Malley, Made Tony Supriatma, and John Sidel for incisive comments on a draft of this paper. 2 "The Aceh Killing Fields," Jakarta Post, August 7,1998.

Pendahuluan Apa yang ingin dilihat dalam artikel ini ialah mengenai implementasi peraturan yang memberikan kewenangan kepada kepala daerah untuk dapat menggerakan militer.

  • The Relationship Between Language and Architecture: a Case Study of Betawi Cultural Village at Setu Babakan, South Jakarta, Indonesia
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 8; August 2015 The Relationship between Language and Architecture: A Case Study of Betawi Cultural Village at Setu Babakan, South Jakarta, Indonesia Agustin Rebecca Lakawa Language Centre, Trisakti University Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Trisakti University Jl. Kyai Tapa No.1, Grogol, West Jakarta 11440 Indonesia Abstract Betawi language as the language of the people who occupied Jakarta and its surroundings is used to define ethnicity and provided cultural identity of Betawi people. This study reports on the relationship between language and architecture in terms of Betawi vernacular. To support the understanding and explanation about the topic, data gathered through observation and semi-structured interview at Betawi cultural village. The understanding about Betawi vernacular can best be replaced by the concepts of architecture in Betawi traditional houses. The study shows that the relationship between language and architecture can be seen in terms of its continuous dependability and relationship. The parts and sections of Betawi houses represent the openness towards outside and new influences, which accommodate creative and innovative forms added to Betawi houses. This openness can be traced in terms of language, which is represented in the form of having various borrowing words from other languages. The simplicity of Betawi house is the representation of the simplicity of Betawi language as can be seen in the form of grammatical features of the language. In sum, there is a clear relationship between Betawi language and architecture in terms of its simplicity, its openness, and its adaptability towards foreign influences. Keywords: Betawi language, Betawi architecture, adaptability, vernacular 1.
