It is a tradition that started a long time ago but is still done by Javanese people now. This study is initiated due to the tradition done by the Javanese. Langkahan is a ritual done when younger siblings get married before their older sisters or brothers. The data in this study were collected through observation and interviews with the brides and bridegrooms, cultural experts, people done the ritual, and the researcher's experience. Langkahan as a ritual is done because of three feelings, one of which is lust-unlust. It is a feeling possessed by those whose younger siblings get married first. People tend to believe that there is some kind of effects of not doing this procession, so this procession is mostly done to avoid the effects. As traditions need to be preserved, Langkahan should still be done. It is a traditional cultural legacy from ancestors that serves as a symbol of the identity of an area. Moreover, it shows respect for older siblings whose younger siblings get married first. Keywords: Myth, Tradition, Langkahan, Javanese wedding 1.

  • Habitus of Culture: Retaining Batik's Identity Amidst the Modernization
    Habitus of Culture: Retaining Batik’s Identity amidst the Modernization Kamsidjo Budi Utomo. Ebnan Syarif, Universitas Negeri Semarang [email protected] Abstract Amidst the rapid modernization, Batik is now considered old-fashioned and less favored; as an icon of traditional textile art, Batik has been inferior in keeping up with current demands of a so-called “modern” society. The quick-spreading fad of kekinian (or „trendy‟, „hype‟) has been more familiar to the younger generation. This phenomenon calls for a critical outlook on the “metaphysics of presence” that lays its foundation on the principle of aesthetics. To this growing lifestyle, perfections in life are achieved by expediency and pragmatism. Contrary to that, batik offers traditionalistic, symbolic approach of representing meaning; therefore, it becomes less popular compared to the recent trends. This study, however, sees the relevance of raising the discourse of batik in the midst of recent trends by approaching it from the lens of cultural pluralism that highlights its emphasis on a nation‟s “character”. However, in lieu of mere attempt of “reviving” the relevance of batik, this study aims further to discuss batik‟s true nature and the development of its existence throughout the advancement of culture and science. Keywords : Batik Education, Habitus of Culture, Philosophy of Batik 1. Batik’s motifs There has been much debate over the history of batik: its origins, motifs, and dyeing techniques. People all over the world, from Latin America, up to India and Indonesia‟s neighbor, Malaysia, has been claiming about their respective cultures to be the birthplace of batik as one of the oldest fabric tie-dyeing techniques.

Kerkvliet Nevzat Soguk Keywords: Transitional Politics, Liberal Democracy, Social Movement, Everyday Politics DEDICATION For my beloved son: Iqra Garda Nusantara i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “There is no time to rest before grassroots politics becomes a well-established field of study in Indonesian political discourse. It is my dream to see this happen soon after my graduation from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, USA.” I have been blessed with a great opportunity, and I deeply owe a debt of gratitude to the people of Yogyakarta who have inspired me to study local and grassroots politics. Yogyakarta, as the center of Javanese culture, was an ideal location to study everyday politics, and the creativity of the people of Yogyakarta impressed me during my field research. The movement against the Dutch in Yogyakarta is a manifestation of Javanese ideology called “Manunggaling Kawulo lan Gusti,” meaning the people and the King aer united. It was inspiring for me to learn more about the recent movement in Yogyakarta under the banner of defending the special status of this region as part of the decentralization and democratization project led by the central government. The Pisowanan Agung (The Great Mass Gathering), which was attended by millions of Yogyakartans in 1998, clearly showed the solidarity of the people and the King.

HASIM Peneliti bidang Lektur dan Khazanah Keagamaan pada Balai Penelitian dan Pengembangan Agama Semarang Telp. 024-7601327 Fax. 024-7611386 e-mail: [email protected] Naskah diterima tanggal: 14 Oktober 2011 Naskah disetujui tanggal: 24 Oktober 2011 ABSTRAK Masjid memiliki arti penting dalam kebudayaan dan peradaban Is- lam. Masjid tidak hanya sebagai simbol kebesaran Islam tetapi juga men- jadi simbol harmoni kehidupan manusia dengan alam lingkungan. Melalui pendekatan sejarah dan arkeologi penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Masjid Pakulaman memiliki keterkaitan dengan perkembangan kebudayaan Jawa. Secara utuh bangunan Masjid Pakualaman merupakan perpaduan antara unsur Hindu Jawa dan Islam sebagai bentuk yang sarat dengan makna kos- mologis dan kaya harmonisasi kehidupan spiritual. Harmonisasi tersebut dapat dilihat dari bentuk atap tajuk dengan mustaka berbentuk gada, orna- men sulur bunga dan gapura pintu utama. Kata kunci: Arsitektur Masjid, Kosmologi Jawa. ABSTRACT Masjid (mosque) plays a signi›cant role in Islamic culture and civili- zation because it is not only a symbol of Islamic glory but also a symbol of harmonious life between humans and their surroundings. Through his- torical and archeological approaches, this study could reveal that the Masjid Pakualaman (Yogyakarta) has a close relationship with Javanese culture development. The mosque is a perfect picture of assimilation between Ja- vanese Hindu and Islam. The building is full of cosmological meaning and harmonious spiritual life.

  • 91 BAB V KESIMPULAN Pakualaman Terbentuk Dari Adanya Perjanjian
    BAB V KESIMPULAN Pakualaman terbentuk dari adanya perjanjian Giyanti antara pihak Mataram yang diwakili oleh Sunan Pakubuwana III dengan kelompok Pangeran Mangkubumi, yang terdiri dari Pangeran Mangkubumi, Pangeran Wijil, Pangeran Krapyak dan Pangeran Hadiwijoyo. Isi dari perjanjian tersebut adalah wilayah Mataram dibagi menjadi dua wilayah, yaitu Surakarta dan Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta sendiri dibagi menjadi dua wilayah yaitu Kasultanan Yogyakarta dan Pakualaman. Pakualaman berdiri terpisah dengan keraton Yogyakarta, walaupun begitu Pakualaman tetap menghormati keraton sebagai wilayah pemerintahan yang lebih dulu berdiri sebelum Pakualaman. Sistem pemerintahan di Pakualaman mirip sekali dengan yang ada di keraton, selain karena Pakualaman muncul dari sebagian wilayah Kasultanan, para peguasa yang ada di Pakualaman juga masih sedarah dengan para kerabat keraton. Wilayah Pakualaman meliputi Kabupaten Brosot, yang ada di Kulon Progo, terdiri dari Galur, Tawangrejo, Tawangsoka, Tawangkarto dan di tambah sebagian kecil wilayah Ibukota Yogyakarta, yang terletak di timur sungai Code yang dijadikan pusat pemerintahan Pakualaman. Wilayah Pakualaman yang berada di daerah Yogyakarta merupakan suatu wilayah dataran rendah, yang dari segala arah berbatasan langsung dengan daerah-daerah kekuasaan keraton Yogyakarta. Daerah perbukitan, dataran rendah, pantai dan rawa merupakan jenis topografi daerah Pakualaman yang ada di Adikarto. Penduduk Pakualaman sudah cukup padat dibuktikan dengan adanya pendataan penduduk pada tahun 1922, 91 92 penduduk Pakualaman sudah mencapai 5.000 lebih, baik yang di wilayah Yogyakarta maupun yang di Adikarto. Banyak penduduk Pakualaman kesehariaannya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani. Namun seiring perkembangan perekonomian masyarakat Pakualaman, pekerjaan bertani mulai ditinggalkan, mereka beralih ke pekerjaan lain yang dinilai lebih menguntungkan masyarakat seperti pedagang, tukang kayu, pengrajin bambu, pengrajin batik, pengrajin tekstil dan sebagai tukang jagal hewan.

    European Journal of Education Studies ISSN: 2501 - 1111 ISSN-L: 2501 - 1111 Available on-line at: www.oapub.org/edu doi: 10.5281/zenodo.3877516 Volume 7 │ Issue 5 │ 2020 HYBRIDITY OF BEKSAN FLORET PURA PAKUALAMAN YOGYAKARTA: POSTCOLONIAL STUDY Feri Catur Harjanta1i, Kuswarsantyo2 1Magister Student of Art Education Study Program, Graduate Program of Yogyakarta State University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia 2Lecturer of Art Education Study Program, Graduate Program of Yogyakarta State University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Abstract: During the British colonial era, there was an important momentum in the city of Yogyakarta. The important moment was the birth of a kingdom called Pura Pakualaman or Pakualaman Palace where Prince Notokusumo was known as Sri Paku Alam I. He could not be separated from the political contract between the British government and Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono II. During the reign of Sri Paduka Paku Alam IV, he was very close to the Dutch government so that most of the art of dance at that time was influenced by Dutch culture. The artworks of Sri Paku Alam IV include Srimpi Nadheg Putri, Beksan Floret, Beksan Sabel, Beksan Inum and Beksan Penthul Tembem. The object of this research was Beksan Floret. Meanwhile the method used in this study was a qualitative method with a post-colonial approach. In this study, a theory from Homi K Bhabha which explains hybridity was used. Post-colonial representations have several characteristics, including power relations, identity, ambivalence, and mimicry. Based on the results of post-colonial representation, it can be further elaborated as follows: (1). Beksan Floret reflects a split identity, (2) There is a power relation, which is legitimate, emancipatory, hierarchical and dominative, (3) Mimikri Beksan Floret itself gives birth to ideas about dynamic, creative and independent especially in costume and choreography, (4).

  • K. P. H. Notoprojo K
    K. P. H. Notoprojo K. P. H. Notoprojo taught and performed Javanese gamelan music for the Center for World Music from 1989 to 1992. Affectionately referred to as “Pak Cokro,” he was one of the most highly respected performers, teachers, and composers of Javanese gamelan music. He led the gamelan at the Pakualaman Palace, Yogyakarta, as well as the gamelan for the Radio Republik Indonesia Yogyakarta, and taught gamelan in universities around the world. He composed over 250 works, including numerous light gamelan pieces and experimental works, many of which are prominent in the modern gamelan repertory. According to the ethnomusicologist Mantle Hood, "It is accepted that no other Indonesian has even approached the contributions of this man in helping the world know the great gamelan traditions of Java.” On March 9, 2004, he received the prestigious Nugraha Bhakti Musik Indonesia Award. Pak Cokro was born in Yogyakarta, Java. He grew up in the Pakualaman Palace, where he began studying music at five years old under the tutelage of his father, R. W. Padmowinangum, who led the palace gamelan. Pak Cokro’s formal education, however, was at the Taman Siswa secondary school, enriched by studies at the palace. In addition to playing in the court gamelan, Pak Cokro performed with other famous gamelan groups and served as gamelan music director at local radio stations. He had the opportunity to teach Javanese gamelan abroad beginning in 1953. In Java he taught at the Konservatori Tari Indonesia and Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia, and founded a school for the study of vocal music, Pusat Olah Vokal Wasitodipuro.
