Imagining Communities Around the Television Rachmah Department of Media and Information Faculty of Media, Society and Culture Watching Indonesian Sinetron: Imagining Communities around the Television Rachmah Ida This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology September 2006 i Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: Rachmah Ida Date: 30 September 2006 ii Abstract This thesis is about the everyday cultural practices of communal television viewing by urban kampung people. It challenges the institutional frameworks and constructs about the television audience. To achieve this, the thesis looks at the cultural context of the television set and its uses in urban kampung households and the neighbourhood system. Studies on urban kampung community in Indonesia so far have focused on the socio-economic and cultural practices of the people in relation to state ideological matters (e.g. Guinness, 1989; Sullivan, 1994; Brenner, 1998). This thesis is an attempt to extend the investigation about the cultural practices of the kampung community in relation to media use in the era of competitive private television in the early 2000s. As those kampung people have existentially engaged in fashioning their own lives neither as rural subjects nor urban/city subjects, their narratives in responding to televised images and representations (of women in particular) shape the particularity of the cultural scene of these marginalized subjects. Taking up their social economic background and the particularities of socio-cultural circumstances of the kampung, this present study takes a close look into the day-to-day communal viewing practice of the kampung female viewers of the most-watched local program on Indonesian television, that is sinetron (television drama). Extending the argument of Ien Ang and others into the Indonesian context, the thesis concludes that the national television audience as a unified, atomistic and controllable entity, as is institutionally imagined, does not exist. Rather, watching television, particularly among the urban middle to lower class community, is a discursive practice overwhelmingly showing the diverse, particular, and unpredictable attitudes, which challenge the account of ‘the audience’ that characterises the industry, the state and, ironically, also the intellectual critical knowledge producers. iii Acknowledgements The acknowledgement page, mostly written at the end of the journey of the writing process, seems to have become an obligatory academic ritual to mention colleagues, institutions, clients, and friends whose support and encouragement made the study possible. However, within the boundaries of the formal academy environment, this page is significant and meaningful in helping us to continue imagining ourselves as a scholarly and independent community. Here, it is important for me to convey how deeply I appreciate those who have so generously supervised, guided, taught, and volunteered to support me during the four years of my doctoral candidature. Their support and encouragement are all very precious for the completion of this thesis. I would tender my heartfelt gratitude, first and foremost, to my supervisor, Prof. Krishna Sen. I am a truly fortunate Indonesian student, having the opportunity to work under her supervision and learn directly from her expertise and critical insight on media, politics, society and culture of Indonesia. Her international reputation, many times, has privileged me both in Indonesia and in international conferences and academic forums that I have been engaged with. Particularly, her reputation among great scholars and prominent film and television makers, producers, and media officials in Jakarta smoothed the way for my fieldwork there. Her critical comments, challenging questions and enduring encouragement have become a very precious gift enabling me to learn and become an independent research student. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Genoni of the Faculty of Media, Culture and Society, and A/Prof. Barbara Milech and her team in Humanities Graduate Studies Office such as Daniel Griffin and Alicia Higgins, for administrative support. I also thank Wendy Sahanaya, who deserves appreciation not only for assistance with language, but also for friendship and encouragement through every stage of this present work. Ausaid Liaison Officers of Curtin University of Technology, Deb Pyatt, Julie Craig and Carolyn Mascall, all contributed a great deal to my study and my life during four years in Perth. They have provided constant assistance, not only for the success of my study, but also helped me deal with personal and family matters. Therefore, I am really grateful to them. iv The very significance and important parties are the residents of kampung Gubeng in Surabaya with whom I spent my time during the fieldwork and from whom I gathered information and data for this study. This present work would not be possible without their warm, friendly acceptance and their openness. My special appreciation goes to Pak Sirun and his wife, Bu Titin, who provided me a room and kind hospitality during my four month stay at the kampung . This couple and a friend of mine, Yuni Uyung, were the “key persons” enabling me to enter and become familiar with the kampung’s residents, the style of life, and common kampung culture. I also thank Titik, who assisted with my research in the kampung. To all of them, I would like, from the bottom of my heart, to say, “Thank you very much indeed.” I should also thank to Pak Ishadi, Mas Garin Nugroho, Mas Veven Wardhana, Mas Bimo Nugroho, Pak Rachmiadi, Mas Teguh Juwarno, Pak Gufron Sakaril, Mas Haryanto, and Pak Imam Tauhid, who were kind enough to welcome me and give their time to talk, be interviewed, and supplied me with bulk TV rating data and programming information. My thanks also go to Bang Ade at PDAT Tempo, Mas Sulaeman at research and documentation department of Tabloid Bintang Milenia, Friends in Jakarta like Widjajanto, Mimin, and Ermia, who provided a home for me in Jakarta and entertained me whenever I was stressed and exhausted from dealing with important and busy people. My colleagues Suko Widodo and Yayan Sakti were so generous and made their room at rumah kos Salemba Tengah in Jakarta available to me for two months. To Wishnu, who assisted me during the fieldwork in Jakarta; thank you. I would like to acknowledge my indebtedness to friends for their insights on ideas I was developing for the present thesis. To Dr. Yazid Basthomi, a very productive friend, whose comments and suggestions on my initial candidacy draft sparked my thinking and enabled me to sharpen my research focus; thank you. My friend Budi Irawanto and those postgraduate students, the occupants of room 208.228A: Denise Woods, Mbak Sandra Sudjujudi, Tod Jones, Petrina Leo, and particularly, to the new comer, I.G.A.K. Satrya Wibawa, thank you for all your help in the last stage. v My colleagues in the Department of Communication Sciences, Airlangga University, Surabaya, Yuyun Surya, Henry Subiakto, Murdijati and Yan Yan, receive my gratitude for giving me free rein to pursue my doctoral study in Australia, during which time they were able to relieve me of the encumbrance of the so-called ‘government tasks’. I also express my gratitude to my husband, Herry Juliartono, whose encouragement, support and companionship in Australia have proven a significant investment for the completion of my study and our daughter, Zahra Aisya, who has grown up with books and papers, has freshened and coloured my life as a doctoral student and Mum. Thus to these two persons, I would like to affirm, “This piece is dedicated to you. Thank you! ” Perth, March 2006 Rachmah Ida vi Notes on Spelling and Translations This thesis uses the Indonesian spelling standard (EYD) applied since 1972.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1. LATAR BELAKANG Salah satu isu penyiaran yang paling sensitif sejak dikeluarkannya UU No 32 Tahun adalah masalah Sistem Stasiun Jaringan (SSJ). Di saat wacana Sistem Stasiun Jaringan LPS televisi eksisting (RCTI, SCTV, MNCTV, Indosiar, Global TV, ANTV, Trans7, Trans TV, TV One dan Metro TV), beserta polemiknya terus bergulir di ranah penyiaran Indonesia, di sisi lain, praktik Sistem Stasiun Jaringan yang berasal dari televisi-televisi non eksisting (televisi lokal), seperti SUN TV Network, Kompas TV, JTV dan Bali TV juga menjadi perhatian berbagai kalangan karena dinilai terdapat sejumlah persoalan di dalam penyelenggaraannya. Sebagai perbandingan, pada model SSJ LPS TV eksisting, sepuluh stasiun televisi swasta yang mengudara secara nasional diwajibkan mendirikan badan hukum baru, melepas stasiun relai, melepas saham secara bertahap, serta pancaran siaran tidak boleh dilakukan hanya dengan perantara stasiun relai. Di mana praktiknya, status kepemilikan LPS televisi eksisting diturunkan menjadi kepemilikan lokal untuk menciptakan diversity of ownership dan diversity of content seperti yang diamanatkan Undang-Undang, namun pada penyelenggaraan SSJ televisi non eksisting, justru sebaliknya, terjadi akuisisi dan pembelian saham televisi-televisi lokal. Grup-grup besar seperti SUN TV Network yang merupakan anak perusahaan MNC, Kompas TV dari kelompok Kompas Gramedia begitu agresif bermitra dan bersinergi dengan stasiun-stasiun televisi lokal untuk membentuk jaringan, serta memperluas daya siar ke berbagai penjuru Tanah Air. Uki Hastama, anggota dari Asosiasi Televisi Swasta Indonesia (ATVLSI), pengamat media dan konsultan televisi lokal, kepada peneliti, menyampaikan fakta tentang kondisi dunia penyiaran yang sekarang ini tengah diwarnai 1 perburuan dan persaingan untuk membeli stasiun-stasiun televisi lokal. Uki menyebut SUN TV, serta kelompok Kompas Gramedia yang akan membuat televisi jaringan KompasTV, sangat gencar meminang televisi-televisi yang memiliki Izin Penyelenggara Penyiaran (izin frekuensi) di berbagai daerah.

  • Bab 2 Industri Dan Regulasi Penyiaran Di Indonesia
    BAB 2 INDUSTRI DAN REGULASI PENYIARAN DI INDONESIA 2.1. Lembaga Penyiaran di Indonesia Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, istilah lembaga penyiaran seringkali dianggap sama artinya dengan istilah stasiun penyiaran. Menurut Peraturan Menkominfo No 43 Tahun 2009, yang ditetapkan 19 Oktober 2009, lembaga penyiaran adalah penyelenggara penyiaran, baik Lembaga Penyiaran Publik, Lembaga Penyiaran Swasta, Lembaga Penyiaran Komunitas, maupun Lembaga Penyiaran Berlangganan yang dalam melaksanakan tugas, fungsi dan tanggungjawabnya berpedoman pada peraturan perundangan yang berlaku. Jika ditafsirkan, lembaga penyiaran adalah salah satu elemen dalam dunia atau sistem penyiaran. Dengan demikian walau lembaga penyiaran bisa dilihat sebagai segala kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan pemancarluasan siaran saja, namun secara implisit ia merupakan keseluruhan yang utuh dari lembaga-lembaga penyiaran (sebagai lembaga yang memiliki para pendiri, tujuan pendiriannya/visi dan misi, pengelola, perlengkapan fisik), dengan kegiatan operasional dalam menjalankan tujuan-tujuan penyiaran, serta tatanan nilai, dan peraturan dengan perangkat-perangkat regulatornya. Sedangkan stasiun penyiaran adalah tempat di mana program acara diproduksi/diolah untuk dipancarluaskan melalui sarana pemancaran dan/atau sarana transmisi di darat, laut atau antariksa dengan menggunakan spektrum frekuensi radio melalui udara, kabel, dan/atau media lainnya untuk dapat diterima secara serentak dan bersamaan oleh masyarakat dengan perangkat penerima siaran.

This is because citizens trusted mass media as an independent information channel, and social media like Twitter was unavailable. Following mass media’s affiliation to political parties and the rise of social media, citizens began using Twitter for delivering news or information. We dub this as citizen journal- ism from street to tweet. This study found that such process indicates the waning of mass media and the intensification of social media. Yet, the process neither strengthened citizen journalism nor increased public participation as it resulted in netizens experiencing severe polarization between groups critical and in support of the government instead. We consider this as a new emerging phenomenon caused by the advent of new media in the post-truth era. In this context, post-truth refers to social and political conditions wherein citizens no longer respect the truth due to political polarization, fake- news-producing journalist, hate-mongering citizen journalism, and unregulated social media activities.

Philip Kitley, who is not only a media scholar but has also worked as a diplomat in Indonesia, shows how important television has been to both the official and popular imagination since its beginnings in the early s. It’s a fascinating tale, with implications going well beyond re- gional specialists, since the use of popular media to promote nation, citizenship, and identity is common to many countries, new and old. “As Indonesia attracts increasing international attention in the post-Soeharto era, it is important to understand the cultural as well as political issues that have led to the current turbulent situation.

    Bima, Kasper und Dämon Das Figurentheater zieht weltweit Gross und Klein in seinen Bann. Es hat seinen festen Platz in den darstellenden Künsten, neben dem Personentheater und dem Maskentheater. Sein Ursprung liegt im Dunkeln, doch schon im antiken Ägypten und Griechenland wie auch im China der Tang-Dynastie (7.-10. Jh.) wird davon berichtet. Das Theater – Ein Merkmal vieler Figurentheaterformen ist die vereinfachte und typisierte Abbildung der Welt. Dazu kommt die oft überspitzte Darstellung der auftretenden Figuren. Damit wird die aufgeführte Geschichte verständlicher und die Handlung pointierter – im Gegensatz zur oftmals unüberschaubaren Welt, die uns umgibt. Trickster und Dämonen – Oft treten ganz spezielle Charaktere auf: Zum einen sind dies Diener, Spassmacher oder Narren – sogenannte Trickster. Sie haben die Funktion von Untergeordneten, aber dennoch einen grossen Einfluss auf die Machthabenden. Sie sind meist ungebildet, aber trotzdem weise. Sie reissen Witze und führen derbe Reden. So können sie kritisieren und auf Missstände hinweisen – ohne dafür bestraft zu werden. Zum anderen sind dies Dämonen und Bösewichte. Sie verdeutlichen, dass überall Gefahr lauert, ständig Vorsicht geboten ist und jedes Handeln Konsequenzen hat. Puppenspieler – Die Puppenspielerinnen und Puppenspieler bringen Magie ins Figuren- theater. Sie erwecken die Figuren zum Leben und lassen sie real werden. Mit ihrem Können werden sie zu Mittelspersonen zwischen der Welt der Geschichten und der Welt des Publikums. Dies macht sie vielerorts zu besonderen Menschen. Manchmal haben sie die Funktion von Ritualspezialistinnen und -spezialisten und manchmal – fällt ihre Kritik zu heftig aus – werden sie von der Obrigkeit in die Schranken gewiesen oder bestraft. 1 Bima; Schattenspielfigur; Region Cirebon, Nordküste Java, Indonesien; 1.

Digital technology is the right solution in overcoming the frequency limitations in analog broadcasting, but until now Indonesia has not yet realized digital broadcasting because there is no legal umbrella governing it and Law No.32/2002 on Broadcasting does not yet contain these rules. This research aims to provide policy ideas and regulations on digital broadcasting that should be made by the government. This research method is a documentation or library study by looking at data derived from several regulations on digital broadcasting in Indonesia and several related articles. The results showed a process of mutual influence between the agent and the structure behind the making of broadcasting digitalization regulation which is illustrated by the attraction of very strong interests between the interests of the public, capital owners, and the government. The choice of the multiplexing model used for digital broadcasting has been a heated debate. Single multiplexing is the most appropriate model to use. The control of frequency by the government creates the public sphere (public sphere) which contains a balance between private and public interests. So that the ideals of broadcasting with a diversity of ownership and diversity of content can be realized.
