“Uncover the Invisible” Uncover the Invisible: Home-workers in Micro-Small-Medium Industries Based on“Putting-out” System (The Case Study of the Batik and Batik Convection Industry in a Sragen-Surakarta-Sukoharjo Cluster of Indonesia) Arianti Ina Restiani Hunga, Satya Wacana Christian University Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia Abstrak Micro-small-medium-scale industries (MSMsI) based on the “Putting-out” System (POS) with home- workers (HWs) have long existed in Indonesia, but recently show significant and prominent growth that is complex and different from POS in general. The POS works through decentralisation of production, where the largest part of the production processes are taken out from factory to the HWs and their families. This strategy that MSMsI employ to enhance efficiency and competitiveness, and which –at the same time marginalises the HWs– has not been exposed. This obscured POS phenomenon is the drive of this research. Accordingly, the research includes the following characteristics: the strategies applied include case-studies in gender-perspective; the commodity is batik (not general garment); applying cluster approach; the actors are entrepreneurs and HW; and gender analyses. The analyses focus on the dialectical relationships between capitalism logic and patriarchical values as shown in three-level relational dimensions, which are entrepreneur-HW, among HWs, and HW – family. It covers a literature discourse that describes ‘invisibility’ of POS and HW- based MSMsI and uncovers it. It is argued that the HW integration to the global market has contributed to the fundamental POS transformation processes, which differentiate it from the common POS. The transformation impacts generally push HW to take strategic roles in supporting the existence of the industry, but also push aside and marginalise female HW in particular. The POS transformation happens through deconstruction and reconstruction processes which maintain the exploitative and gender-biased relationships. Keywords: industry, home-workers, “putting-out” system, capitalism, gender. Introduction Since the monetary crises struck Indonesia at the end of 1997, the micro, small, medium-scale industries (MSMsI) have been receiving increased attention and become an interesting topic for research, as they play a role in absorbing work opportunities for the communities. Generally, researches in Indonesia show that they have a tremendous resistance against the impacts of economic crisis, and in particular, some that are export-oriented, immune against those impacts of crisis. The same assertion was made by Cameron, Rustanto, Thamrin, and Sandee (in Sandee, 2000); Sandee (eds., 2001), and Rutten and Sandee (2002). MSMsI are considered a strong economic power in time of crisis, although empirically there is no improvement in their performance and quality of life at a micro level, especially workers in this sector (Manning and Dierman, 2000; Kian Wie, 2004). The endurance of the industry has been well documented, but the actual phenomenon of MSMsI is still systematically difficult to explain. The industries have many variations1; there are MSMsI whose activities are based in the company and others outside the companies or their workers’ houses. The current definition of MSMsI is mostly directed to company-based ones. It means that most of MSMsI whose activities are at their workers’ houses or based on the putting-out 1 There are some terminologies for MSMsI, among others: 1) based on legal formal indicator, consists of formal and informal; 2) based on known characteristic of activities and places; rural and urban industry; 3) based on place of activities – company based industry and home based industry of which the latter frequently wrongly interpretated as home-industry; and 4) based on market orientation – export and import oriented industry. 1 system (POS) and whose workers are known as home-workers (HW2), are not yet recognised or understood in the researches of the field. This paper describes the POS phenomenon in Indonesia context, and explains the transformation in POS and its impact on the changing roles of HW, by discussing: 1) The literature that describes the “invisibility” of POS and HW-based MSMsI; 2) the “uncovering of the invisibility” of POS and HW-based MSMsI in Indonesia which can be distinguished from POS in general. Conclusion The particular POS phenomena may be explained as follows. POS has been experiencing a transformation process that impacts on structural and systemic changing that support all activities in it, from which it is getting more important strategic for economy. POS reorganization that follows production decentralisation impels changes in the system and structure in it. However, they are still flexible and informal in nature. HWs play more strategic role, though informal, and are stratified. The employer can perform work interaction to each of HWs’ strata in different form of interactions. Global capitalism joined with patriarchal values may continually uses this system by making changes on it through deconstruction and reconstruction processes. This can be done by starting from value basis and material basis attaching to commodities, places, actors, and types of work that tend to reflect gender bias and are dominated by men. Besides, the government policy mediates and legitimatises this transformation process. Meanwhile, the existing economic crisis develops as momentum pushing the POS transformation process. The transformation generally impacts on pushing HWs to take strategic roles in supporting the existence and endurance of the industry. On the other hand, it also pushes aside and marginalise in particular female HWs. POS is no longer dominated by women. 2 Home-workers are often mixed up or wrongly percepted as home-based workers. In Bahasa Indonesia, they are translated as pekerja rumahan. The author’s experience in several scientific discussions show that there are discourses that pekerja rumahan connotated as domestic helper. 2 References Asean Development Bank, (2005).

  • State Service and Redefinition of Religion
    State Service and Redefinition of Religion Hadi Satrio Leleno 1, Riswadi 2 Borobudur University 1,2 {[email protected] 1, [email protected] 2} Abstract. The definition of prevailing religion in general (world religions) has been constructed in such a manner by rulers' concept. Minority belief started alienated in a hometown. In the eyes of the sociology of religion, Durkheim gives the sense that religion is sui generis in a society. By using a qualitative approach and descriptive qualitative methods, the data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis, it was found that. Questioning the paradigm expansion in the definition of religion can be an alternative solution to redefine religion, so there is no longer growing "religion of government," "majority," and "minority" in the view of religion in Indonesia. Keywords: Religion; Minority; Indonesian Society 1 Introduction The definition of religion has been constructed in such a way as to suit the rulers. The rulers carried out paradigm contestation to be able to define religion according to its concepts and paradigms. About local and minority beliefs, import (newcomers) beliefs begin to oppress and dominate "the host". Before the import trust came, local beliefs had gained a place and had nurtured the people to become "religious" people. However, the politicization of immigrant religions into local beliefs is an enemy at home. They were starting from framing about the occult, mystical, syncretic, superstitious, and so on. Local beliefs began to be isolated in their territory. The root of the contestation of the religious paradigm here is a uniformity of the definition of religion [1].

Javanese ensemble was one of the traditional arts that was still popular and was maintained until now. Surakarta-style Javanese ensemble had elaborate garap instruments, also had garap vocal that was no less complicated than garap instruments. The so-called vocal was: sindhènan. In this study, sindhèn (songstress) was deliberately chosen as the object of study, because sindhèn still existed and had musical and social strength. This was evident in every performance, both in independent musical performances and as supporter of other performing arts, sindhèn always came with its aesthetics. In the last decade, many young sindhèns had little concern for the sindhènan musical principles. In the end, it caused lack of good qualities of the sindhènan that they did. They justified the fact with, " sing penting payu (what matters was that my service could be sold)". Based on this fact, this study seeked to uncover problems related to sindhèn in klenengan performances, including: 1) Why was sindhèn become an important element in Javanese ensemble?, 2) How did the influence of sindhèn on klenèngan performances? Both problems were revealed using garap theory and aesthetic theory.
