Torch Light in the City: Auto/Ethnographic Studies of Urban Kampung Community in Depok City, West Java1 Torch light in the city: Auto/Ethnographic Studies of Urban Kampung Community in Depok City, West Java1 Hestu Prahara Department of Anthropology, University of Indonesia “Di kamar ini aku dilahirkan, di bale bambu buah tangan bapakku. Di rumah ini aku dibesar- kan, dibelai mesra lentik jari ibuku. Nama dusunku Ujung Aspal Pondokgede. Rimbun dan anggun, ramah senyum penghuni dusunku. Sampai saat tanah moyangku tersentuh sebuah rencana demi serakahnya kota. Terlihat murung wajah pribumi… Angkuh tembok pabrik berdiri. Satu persatu sahabat pergi dan takkan pernah kembali” “In this room I was born, in a bamboo bed made by my father’s hands. In this house I was raised, caressed tenderly by my mother’s hands. Ujung Aspal Pondokgede is the name of my village. She is lush and graceful with friendly smile from the villagers. Until then my ancestor’s land was touched by the greedy plan of the city. The people’s faces look wistful… Factory wall arrogantly stood.

Within the socio-economic transformation in the cities and also alteration of physical landscape, the local residents who live in kampung neighborhood experience the feeling of ‘uprootedness’ but at the same time create place attachment through the act of incorporation. In this regard, kampung as a socio-spatial entity is discerned as potentiality within perpetual urban transformation. In particular, this monograph looks at the ways in which the production of place attachment constitutes a process mediated by practices related to social memories, kinship and ritual. Ethnographic data that I present in this monograph are gained through my ethnographic fieldwork during September 2011—Oktober 2012 among kampung residents in Kampung Bojong Pondokcina, Depok City, West Java. Since I (as researcher) am also part of the community that I study in this research, this monograph can be regarded as auto-ethnographic study in which in some part I also integrate self-narratives that place myself within the social context that I study. 40 ANTROPOLOGI INDONESIA.No. 2 2015 is accelerated by the network of transportations From time to time, the number of the services and infrastructure and the existence of public housing trades in economic sector keeps growing.

  • Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Abstract: This article examines the religious specificities of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region. The main characteristics of this process reside in a link between commerce and Muslim networks, a strong cosmopolitism, a variety of the Islam practices, the large number of brotherhoods’ followers and the popularity of esoteric practices. These specificities implicate that the Islamizing of the region was very progressive within period of time and the processes of conversion also generated inter-influence with local religious practices and cosmologies. As a consequence, the widespread assertion that Banten is a bastion of religious orthodoxy and the image the region suffers today as hosting bases of rigorist movements may be nuanced by the variety of the forms that Islam took through history. The dominant media- centered perspective also eludes the fact that cohabitation between religion and ritual initiation still composes the authority structure. This article aims to contribute to the knowledge of this phenomenon. Keywords: Islam, Banten, sultanate, initiation, commerce, cosmopolitism, brotherhoods. 1 Banten is well-known by historians to have been, during the Dutch colonial period at the XIXth century, a region where the observance of religious duties, like charity (zakat) and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), was stronger than elsewhere in Java1. In the Indonesian popular vision, it is also considered to have been a stronghold against the Dutch occupation, and the Bantenese have the reputation to be rougher than their neighbors, that is the Sundanese. This image is mainly linked to the extended practice of local martial arts (penca) and invulnerability (debus) which are widespread and still transmitted in a number of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

  • Western Java, Indonesia)
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Université de Provence, Marseille. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas kekhasan agama di Banten pada masa awal Islamisasi di wilayah tersebut. Karakteristik utama dari proses Islamisasi Banten terletak pada hubungan antara perdagangan dengan jaringan Muslim, kosmopolitanisme yang kuat, keragaman praktek keislaman, besarnya pengikut persaudaraan dan maraknya praktik esotoris. Kekhasan ini menunjukkan bahwa proses Islamisasi Banten sangat cepat dari sisi waktu dan perpindahan agama/konversi yang terjadi merupakan hasil dari proses saling mempengaruhi antara Islam, agama lokal, dan kosmologi. Akibatnya, muncul anggapan bahwa Banten merupakan benteng ortodoksi agama. Kesan yang muncul saat ini adalah bahwa Banten sebagai basis gerakan rigoris/radikal dipengaruhi oleh bentuk-bentuk keislaman yang tumbuh dalam sejarah. Dominasi pandangan media juga menampik kenyataan bahwa persandingan antara agama dan ritual masih membentuk struktur kekuasaan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk berkontribusi dalam diskusi akademik terkait fenomena tersebut. Abstract The author examines the religious specifics of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region.

  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang
    1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Banten merupakan salah satu bumi intelektualitas yang banyak melahirkan ulama ilmiah dan pejuang. Syekh Nawawi Al-Bantani yang berasal dari Banten, menjadi salah satu contoh teladan bagi kemajuan perkembangan gerakan keagamaan Islam di Indonesia. Keulamaan beliau sangat dihormati oleh kalangan tokoh-tokoh Islam Indonesia pada abad ke-18, tidak pelak lagi, banyak murid yang dulu berguru kepadanya menjadi tokoh yang punya pengaruh besar di nusantara. Di antara yang pernah menjadi murid beliau adalah pendiri Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) almarhum Hadraatussyekh Kyai Haji Hasyim Asy’ari. Banten tidak hanya dikenal dengan intelektualitas keulamaannya, tetapi juga dari segi pewacanaan masa lampau, daerah ini menyimpan segudang sejarah yang banyak dikaji oleh peneliti dari dalam maupun manca. Daerah yang dikenal dengan permainan tradisional debusnya ini, banyak sekali dibahas dalam literatur- literatur asing. Claude Guillot, seorang sejarawan dan arkeolog asal Prancis, tidak bisa menyembunyikan kekagumannya akan kekayaan sumber-sumber sejarah Banten, ia berujar bahwa, “... Banten adalah negeri yang kaya sekali akan sumber- sumber sejarah. Kerajaan ini bukan hanya telah menulis sejarahnya sendiri, melainkan juga merangsang banyak tulisan dari pengunjung-pengunjung asing, khususnya Eropa...”1 1 Claude Guillot, Banten (Sejarah dan Peradaban Abad X-XVII).

After vaccines from several countries were found, WHO recommended mass vaccination to prevent Covid-19. The vaccine distribution process has been intensified, including in Indonesia. The vaccine distribution center on the island of Java is located in Bandung City, which is proposed to create a new Distribution Center so that the distribution process of vaccines at the 6 Health Offices in Java Island can be carried out quickly, in a structured manner, and that the distribution costs incurred are a minimum. The research objective was to analyze transportation costs by designing a distribution network of several distribution schemes to minimize the distribution costs for the covid-19 vaccine in Java using the K-means Method and the Center of Gravity Method. The results of the research to determine the clusterization obtained 2 clusters. Cluster 1 consists of the provinces of Central Java, D.I Yogyakarta, and East Java, cluster 2 consists of the provinces of DKI Jakarta, Banten, and West Java. From the 2 clusters, we determined the location of the new Distribution Center and obtained 2 Distribution Centers.

  • Claude Guillot
    B a n t e n in 1678 Claude Guillot Cities undergo a continual change under the action of men, especially when they grow into successful centers of trade and communication where new ideas flow as well as gold and silver. And the passing of time does not diminish this truth—which explains the precise date given in the title above. Banten in 1678 was no longer the town that the Company of Comelis de Houtman had discovered eighty years before, as modem Jakarta is no longer the ancient city that it was at the turn of this century. Though it may seem an arbitrary choice, the year 1676 meets four requirements: Banten was still independent; the 1670s defi­ nitely were the most prosperous period in the history of this kingdom which was able to adapt itself to a new political and economic situation, with the growing participation of Westerners in the Asian seaborne trade; Sultan Ageng—the old sultan, according to the accurate translation of his contemporaries—had not yet given full authority to his eldest son, who already was his heir and viceroy and would later be known as Sultan Haji, but was still called the young sultan—sultan anom—at this time; and this transfer of power would modify even the appearance of the town; furthermore, in 1678, the conflict with Batavia about Cirebon broke out, conflict that would end with the fall of the Javanese kingdom. Banten on a map looked the ideal port. The city was located on the confluence of two great international seaways, the Malacca and Sunda straits, which were kept under almost total control by Bantenese possessions in the south of Sumatra.

  • BAB II PERTUMBUHAN ETNIS CINA DI BANTEN A. Sejarah Kedatangan
    BAB II PERTUMBUHAN ETNIS CINA DI BANTEN A. Sejarah Kedatangan Etnis Cina di Banten Mengenai kedatangan pertama etnis Cina di Banten belum diketahui secara pasti. Namun setidaknya hubungan Banten dengan Cina telah ada sejak zaman Dinasti Han (206 SM-220 M) dan Dinasti Song (960-1279 M), hal ini terkait dengan ditemukannya banyak keramik Cina di kawasan Banten Girang.1 Peninggalan keramik ini ditemukan oleh pusat Penelitian Arkeologi Nasional dan Ecole Francais d’Extreme Orient pada tahun 1989. Kebanyakan keramik yang ditemukan dari Banten Girang berasal dari Provinsi Guangdong dan Hokkian (Fujian). Namun keramik di Banten Girang tidak bermutu tinggi seperti “keramik diraja”, hal ini menunjukan bahwa Raja Banten 1Banten Girang (Hulu) telah muncul dalam berbagai sumber asing, salah satunya adalah sumber Portugis yang berasal dari catatan Tome Pires yang berkunjung ke Banten Girang pada tahun 1513. Sumber ini menyebutkan bahwa Banten Girang merupakan salah satu pelabuhan penting di samping Pomdag, Cheguide, Tamgaram, Calapa dan Chemano yang berada di bawah kekuasaan Kerajaan Sunda. Pada masa Kerajaan Sunda, Banten Girang kerap melakukan kegiatan dagang dengan Kepulauan Maladewa dan wilayah Fansur di Sumatra. Pada saat itu, Banten Girang dikenal sebagai lumbung padi, bahan makanan serta komuditas lada. (Lihat Armando Cortesao, Suma Oriental Karya Tome Pires: Perjalanan dari Laut Merah ke Cina & Buku Francisco Rodriguess, Edisi Ketiga, Dialih bahasakan Oleh Adrian Perkasa & Anggita Pramesti, (Yogyakarta: Ombak, 2016), pp. 218-223 dan Hosein Djajadiningrat, Tinjauan Kritis Tentang Sajarah Banten: Sumbangan Bagi Pengenalan Sifat-sifat Penulisan Sejarah Jawa, (Jakarta: Djambatan, 1983), p. 83). 23 24 Girang pada waktu itu tidak dipandang tinggi oleh etnis Cina.
