  • The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics
    The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics The Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. Since the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, diverse indigenous communities and ethnic groups across Indonesia have publicly, vocally, and sometimes violently, demanded the right to implement elements of adat in their home territories. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons for its recent blossoming. The book considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. It is argued that the current interest in adat is not simply a national offshoot of international discourses on indigenous rights, but also reflects a specifically Indonesian ideological tradition in which land, community and custom provide the normative reference points for political struggles. Whilst campaigns in the name of adat may succeed in redressing injustices with regard to land tenure and helping to preserve local order in troubled times, attempts to create enduring forms of political order based on adat are fraught with dangers. These dangers include the exacerbation of ethnic conflict, the legitimation of social inequality, the denial of individual rights and the diversion of attention away from issues of citizenship, democracy and the rule of law at national level. Overall, this book is a full appraisal of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.

Ganesa 10 Bandung, Indonesia 2,3,4Faculty of Visual Arts and Design, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Jl. Ganesa 10 Bandung, Indonesia. [email protected] Fashion style refers to the way of wearing certain categories of clothing related to the concept of taste that refers to a person’s preferences or tendencies towards a particular style. In Indonesia, clothing does not only function as a body covering but also as a person’s style. One way is to use traditional cloth is by wearing batik. Batik clothing, which initially took the form of non -sewn cloth, such as a long cloth, became a sewn cloth like a sarong that functions as a subordinate, evolved with the changing fashion trends prevailing in Indonesia. At the beginning of the development of batik in Indonesia, in the 18th century, batik as a women’s main clothing was limited to the form of kain panjang and sarong. However, in the following century, the use of batik cloth- ing became increasingly diverse as material for dresses, tunics, and blouses.This research uses a historical approach in observing batik fashion by utilizing documentation of fashion magazines and women’s magazines in Indonesia. The change and diversity of batik clothing in Indonesian women’s clothing styles are influenced by changes and developments in the role of Indonesian women themselves, ranging from those that are only doing domestic activities, but also going to school, and working in the public.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Makanan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Makanan merupakan kebutuhan pokok manusia, selama penduduk dunia masih ada maka kebutuhan akan makanan akan tetap ada. Beragam jenis makanan dalam berbagai kategori dapat ditemukan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kategori itu dapat digolongkan atas makanan pokok dan makanan pelengkap. Makanan pokok adalah makanan yang menjadi makanan utama sehari-hari sementara makanan pelengkap sering dijadikan teman ketika minum teh pada jamuan keluarga, kunjungan tamu, pelengkap sebuah acara maupun oleh- oleh pada saat berkunjung. Makanan pelengkap ini terkadang hanya diproduksi di daerah tertentu dan dijadikan ciri khas daerah tersebut. Misalnya, di Betawi atau Jakarta terdapat Roti Buaya, di Malang ada Lumpia dan di Ponorogo terdapat Jenang. Sebagai makanan yang identik dengan kota Ponorogo, Jenang dapat ditemukan hampir di semua tempat, baik sebagai makanan pendamping minuman di rumah-rumah penduduk, dijual di toko-toko/outlet, maupun dijajakan di pinggir jalan oleh pedagang kaki lima. Salah satu tempat yang memproduksi sekaligus menyediakan Jenang di Ponorogo adalah di Jalan Wibisono dengan produk andalan Jenang Teguh Rahardjo . 1 Meski lebih dikenal sebagai produsen Jenang, produsen Jenang Teguh Rahardjo juga menyediakan jenis jenang lain dalam beragam jenis. Penyediaan jenang dalam bentuk yang beraneka ragam tersebut dalam rangka memuaskan konsumennya. Kepuasan konsumen ini menjadi faktor yang penting dalam persaingan bisnis yang semakin ketat, khususnya dalam rangka meningkatkan dan mempertahankan usaha. Peningkatan jumlah konsumen berkorelasi dengan peningkatan penghasilan perusahaan. Oleh sebab itu, konsumen harus dipuaskan atau diberikan produk yang bermutu. Jika tidak, dapat dipastikan akan berdampak buruk bagi usaha itu sendiri, seperti menurunnya pendapatan dan hilangnya konsumen. Sementara itu kepuasan konsumen ditentukan oleh berbagai faktor, diantaranya faktor harga, rasa dan kemasan produk.

  • Contesting Sartorial Hierarchies
    Contesting Sartorial Hierarchies From Ethnic Stereotypes to National Dress , Raden Moehamad Enoch, a junior engineer at the Department of Public Works, patiently waited in line to purchase a I second-class train ticket at the Bandung railway station. Dressed in a Euro- pean suit, Enoch exemplied his generation of young Javanese who enjoyed a Western education, were uent in Dutch, and had roots in the lower aristoc- racy but worked in nontraditional professions. When it was his turn, Enoch approached the window and, in Dutch, kindly requested a train ticket to Madiun, his hometown. e European ticket o cer, clearly annoyed, replied to Enoch in Malay and told him to wait. When he then immediately accepted a European patron at his window, Enoch stepped up to another o cer at the counter for third-class tickets, only to be denied service once more. On Enoch’s inquiry as to why he was not served at either window, the ticket o cer yelled at him—this time in Dutch—and told him unmistakably to either shut up or su er the consequences. Enoch refused to back down, which provoked the ticket o cer into bellowing: “You are a native, and thus need to buy your ticket at the window for natives.” Instead, the proud Enoch demanded to speak to the sta- tion chief. When the chief arrived, he was forced to acknowledge Enoch’s right to purchase his ticket at any window he pleased—a right that was previously limited to Europeans. On the train to Madiun, Enoch described the episode in a letter to Advisor for Native A airs G.
