Jendral Gatot Soebroto, Kav 97, Mampang, Jakarta Selatan, 1279 [email protected] Abstrak Batik di wilayah Jakarta berkembang dari pendatang wilayah dari pesisir Jawa yang menyebar. Keberadaan batik di wilayah Betawi tumbuh dari kumpulan kaum pendatang dari beragam wilayah ini tidak sama dengan kehadiran batik di wilayah Jawa, yang erat dan sering dkaiitkan dengan status sosial dan kaum priyayi/menak dan kerajaan. Batik Betawi muncul dengan refleksi masyarakat terhadap apa yang dilihat dan tumbuh bersama disekitar mereka. Motif Ngangon Kebo, Demenan, Nglajo, Demprak dan lainnya memperlihatkan sisi budaya dari kehidupan masyarakat setempat yang dituangkan dalam visual sederhana namun penuh makna dan mengandung filosofi. Visual yang hadir merekam aktivitas dari keseharian, penanda kota, Gedung, jalan, alat musik, alat jualan, kesenian dan lainnya. Masyarakat Betawi membuat identitas kuat bagi karya batiknya, dalam perjalannya kini, banyak sentra batik bertumbuh dan menguatkan identitas serta ciri khas yang telah hadir pada masa pertumbuhannya. Pada masa pandemic, beberapa sentra batik pun merespon dengan menghadirkan motif yang berkait dengan keresahan masyarakat terhadap keberadaan virus Covid 19, tentu ruang eskpresi tersebut dapat menjadi refleksi serta jejak sejarah dalam perkembangan batik Betawi. Kata kunci : Sosio Budaya, Betawi Betawi, Pandemik Abstract Batik in the Jakarta area developed from regional immigrants from the Java coast who spread. The existence of batik in the Betawi region grew from a collection of immigrants from various regions. This is not the same as the presence of batik in the Java region, which is closely and often associated with social status and the priyayi / conqueror and kingdoms.

But in Batavia, the Portuguese-speaking population (the Mardijkers, slaves, and Burghers) was converted to Calvinism under Dutch colonization, forming the Protestant Portuguese community in Indonesia.

  • Expanded PDF Profile
    Profile Year: 2000 People and Language Detail Report Language Name: Betawi ISO Language Code: bew Betawi of Indonesia The Betawi are considered the original inhabitants of Jakarta. They are often called "Jakarta People, Batavi, Batawi, or Jakarte". The authentic Betawi people can be found in the outlying areas of Jakarta, such as in Pasar Minggu in South Jakarta or Condet in East Jakarta and the area of Kampung Sawah in Bekasi, West Jawa. In the inner city, the Betawi live as traders, civil servants, laborers, craftsmen or private employees. However, in the outskirts of the city (such as Jagakarsa, Cirasas, Cilangkap) most Betawi have agricultural occupations such as fruit growers, rice farmers, or fishermen. Many Betawi orient their daily personal and communal lives toward Islamic ethics. An example of Islam's influence is the following four principles that are followed by most Betawi. First, at every encounter they will use the Islamic greeting, Assalamualaikum which is answered, Walaikumsalam. Second, they must perform the five daily compulsory prayer times. Third, a daughter must be married when she reaches the eligible age. Fourth, a guest must be served according to the full capability of the host. Their foundational philosophy is, "Blessings are for today. Tomorrow is tomorrow's matter." They believe that God will give blessings, but they also believe in the presence of spirits in places like trees, bridges, and graves. The Betawi youth need access to scientific knowledge in order to adapt to the Primary Religion: information and technological era. The lower rungs of Betawi society remain Islam primarily agricultural and need to broaden their worldview.

  • Philip Yampolsky
    C an the Traditional A rts Survive, and Should They?1 Philip Yampolsky 1. Definition What are we talking about when we use this term "traditional" in Indonesia? Let me offer just a quick and simple definition here, so you know at least what I have in mind. I will phrase it (and most of this talk) in terms of music, because that is the art I know best, but I believe the essence of what I say could be applied to other traditional arts as well. I imagine a continuum, at one end (the "wholly traditional" end) of which is music that shows no obvious foreign (extra-Indonesian) influence in its musical idiom; at the other end is music that is wholly foreign in idiom. For my purposes today, any music that registers at or near the traditional end may be considered traditional. At the other end of the scale would be music in the European harmonized idioms (pop Indonesia, patriotic songs, church songs) or music in the mixed Middle Eastern/Indian/Westem idioms of dangdut, orkes gambus, and qasidah moderen.1 2 In between would be the musics in "hybrid" idioms—kroncong, for example, or tanjidor. A more complicated, but perhaps more useful, picture could present two continua. One would be the one just described; the second would have the same poles, but the domain would be not the music's idiom but its aesthetic. (Musics would be positioned on this continuum according to the extent, for example, to which they have been packaged in accordance with European/American norms of duration, virtuoso performance, attractive young performers, sharp beginnings and endings, predominance of singers over instrumentalists, etc.) But I will not bring this aesthetic domain into the discussion here.

  • Past and Present Issues of Javanese–European Musical Hybridity: Gendhing Mares and Other Hybrid Genres
    CHAPTER FOUR PAST AND PRESENT ISSUES OF JAVANESe–EUROPEAN MUSICAL HYBRIDITY: GENDHING MARES AND OTHER HYBRID GENRES Sumarsam The history of Indonesia encompasses a succession of interactions with foreign cultures. Hindu, Islamic and Western cultures, in particular, have had the most significant impact on the development of Indonesian cul- ture. Trade, followed by religious conversion and colonization, character- ize the course of Indonesian history. The interactions have influenced the growth of Indonesian cultural tradition considerably; a growth epitomized by localizing and hybridizing foreign elements. The development of music and musical culture in Indonesia also fol- lowed this general scheme. Whereas each of the Indonesian regions has a distinct socio-cultural tradition, the interactions have produced a rich variety of localized/hybridized forms of Indonesian music. This chapter1 focuses on the development of gendhing mares2 (‘march- ing’ gamelan pieces)3 in the court of Yogyakarta. Gendhing mares requires the incorporation of European brass instruments and drums and is used to accompany the exit and entrance of serimpi, one of the most refined dances in the court of Yogyakarta. Aside from the sound structure of the music, this chapter addresses the history and meaning of the genre. In so doing, I will take into account other hybrid genres, in particular tanjidor and certain contemporary music genres. Following Geertz’s explication of the meaning of symbolic action (Geertz 1973: 363–364), Rice sees the importance of understanding the ‘formative 1 I would like to thank Prof. Margaret Sarkissian of Smith College for her comments and suggestions. 2 Mares is derived from the Dutch mars (march).

  • Women Resistance on Sintren Art Performance: Analysis on Women’S Argument on the Construction of Social Culture in the Coastal Community
    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC ISSN: 2146-5193, March 2018 Special Edition, p. 604-612 WOMEN RESISTANCE ON SINTREN ART PERFORMANCE: ANALYSIS ON WOMEN’S ARGUMENT ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIAL CULTURE IN THE COASTAL COMMUNITY Yuliawan Kasmahidayat Faculty of Arts and Design, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Kasmahidayat/[email protected] ABSTRACT The object of this study is women’s negotiation on Sintren performance. Theoretically, this study aims to elaborate the resistance and arguments from women on patriarch hegemony in Sintren. Revealing this issue can not only be done briefly, but it has to be visualized in depth. This is a descriptive analytical study which applied Antony Gramsci’s hegemony theoretical approach and literature on feminism as a formal object. Women’s subordinate position is formed and constructed socially; gender difference is formed by patriarchs for men’s hegemony. Assumptions that resistance occurred due to injustice and gender inequality in the coastal community are shown in Sintren. This phenomenon oblige women in the coastal area to establish counter hegemony as a form of fight to reconstruct their position so gender equality can be achieved. Practically, this study is expected to increase insights on women fight for gender equality. By maximizing the self-potential and intellectual, women have the chance to dominate men, and this can be achieved also if women have a bargaining position among patriarchic domination. From this study, it can be inferred that by accentuating women’s intellectual in Sintren performance collectively, women’s fight against patriarchic hegemony can be acknowledged and supported, and the success on women’s negotiation is also supported by women’s awareness of their subordinate position in the community.
