Historically, the Minangkabau migrants have coexisted peacefully with local communities in which they settle, and there is no record of conflict between the Minangkabau migrants and local inhabitants. This study attempted to determine the values espoused by this nomadic community. The study was grounded in literature study approach of philosophical hermeneutics and utilized methodical elements, such as description, induction deduction, synthesis analysis, and heuristics. The study also applied observation, and interviews with the Minangkabau migrants. The findings revealed that the culture of this ethnic group explicitly encourages young people to venture abroad. The ethical values that form the basis of the outmigration’s of the Minangkabau community are affirmed by the adat (local) proverbs that prescribe strong work ethics, mutual respect, and an understanding of the local culture to which they outmigrate.

  • The Position and the Role of Women in Local Minangkabau Novels
    The Position and the Role of Women in Local Minangkabau Novels Irfani Basri1, Ellya Ratna2, Zulfikarni3 {[email protected]} 1,2,3Faculty of Language and Art. Universitas Negeri Padang. Padang. Indonesia Abstract. A woman in Minangkabau society is called by bundo kanduang. Bundo kanduang is a call to a group of women according to Minangkabau custom. Meaning bundo is mother, kanduang is true. So, bundo kanduang is a true mother who has motherhood and leadership. Description of a bundo kanduang can be seen in some novels from time to time. First, the position and the role of women in Minangkabau’s novel in the long period namely; as wife, mother, and singer in the people. Second, the position and the role of women in Minangkabau’s novel in the New period, namely; as wife, mother, and singer of members of the community and members of the community. Third, the position and the role of women in Minangkabau’s novel in the reform period namely; as wife, mother, and singer of members of the people and can be involved in the community and government. Keywords: role of women, minangkabau novels, local wisdom 1. Introduction Women in Minangkabau society have different positions and roles with women in any cultural ethnicity in the world. The differences can be seen from various aspects. First, for Minangkabau people who adhere to the matriarchal kinship system, lineages and tribes are drawn based on the maternal line. Second, power should also be fully held by the mother. Third, inheritance rights are inherited to women. As special as women in Minangkabau, many writers, especially those from Minangkabau, talk about women in their novels.

  • Biography, History and the Indonesian Novel Reading Salah Asuhan
    keith foulcher Biography, history and the Indonesian novel Reading Salah Asuhan The novel Salah Asuhan (Wrong Upbringing), written by the Indonesian nationalist politician and journalist Abdoel Moeis, has long held an hon- oured place in the modern Indonesian literary canon.1 It was originally pub- lished in 1928 by Balai Poestaka, the Netherlands Indies government printing house, and by 1995 it had been reprinted twenty-three times. In summary form, it has been studied by generations of Indonesian schoolchildren, and in 1972 it was adapted by Asrul Sani as a successful feature film. Critics and historians of modern Indonesian literature have always regarded Salah Asuhan as a literary milestone. It is admired for the maturity of its author’s literary imagination, as well as the modernity of its language and style. In linguistic terms, it is seen as one of the pioneering literary expressions of the language which was designated as Bahasa Indonesia in the very year of the novel’s publication. It exercises an additional fascination for literary critics and historians because of the circumstances of its publication. The form in which it was originally written is now unknown, for the novel was only pub- lished after a lengthy delay and a series of revisions which the author made to the text after seeing his manuscript languish for more than a year under the scrutiny of Balai Poestaka’s editors. As a result, the original conception of Salah Asuhan remains a mystery. Indeed, it is one of the greatest puzzles in a literary history that is so full of documentary lacunae that its serious study remains a source of ongoing challenge and frustration.2 1 I wish to thank Karen Entwistle and Doris Jedamski for giving me access to some of the reference material used in this article.

  • Silek Movement Analysis for Martial Arts Animators Using a Dance Studies Perspective Madia Patra Ismar | Pudentia MPSS
    Silek Movement Analysis for Martial Arts Animators Using a Dance Studies Perspective Madia Patra Ismar | Pudentia MPSS [email protected] Faculty of Performing Arts Institut Kesenian Jakarta, Universitas Indonesia [email protected] Literature Department, Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia Abstract This paper discusses Silat Minangkabau from the West Sumatran Oral Traditions self de- fence known as Silek, using movement analysis. This focus is to understand the characteristics of movement unique to traditional styles in the streams of silat schools called sasaran in the Minangkabau language. Applying movement analysis has an important role in understanding how the silat body moves in time and space. These researchers argue that using this approach will strengthen and hone the artistic skills and perspective of an animator interested in under- standing the movements when creating visuals based on martial arts. Further focus in this pa- per is to scrutinise the traditional Minangkabau self defence style known as the silek harimau. Although there are already creative works of animators on silat, movement analysis hones the precision of gazing upon the visual aspect of bodily movement in the context of emic views. Keywords: silek, oral traditions, Minangkabau, animators, movement analysis Introduction Animation as a global media industry, travels easily and the work is often shared across countries and even continents, but has less local context so that very young audiences may watch happily wherever the animation may originate. The range of companies involved include conglomerates such as Disney to small independent animation designers with only a PC and the latest software package ( Westcott.2011). Rayna Denison on Japanese anime argues that, creativity in anime have overlooked aspects and elements.

  • A Study of Minangkabau Tradisional Dance in Tanah Datar)
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 301 Seventh International Conference on Languages and Arts (ICLA 2018) MINANGKABAU DANCE MOVEMENT BASED ON ABS-SBK VALUE (A Study of Minangkabau Tradisional Dance in Tanah Datar) Afifah Asriati1 and Desfiarni2 1 Universitas Negeri Padang, Padang, Indonesia, [email protected] 2Universitas Negeri Padang, Padang, Indonesia, [email protected] Abstract Minangkabau dance is now increasingly existing. It is used and functions in many formal and informal events, both government and traditional events in various forms of tradition, as well as creations. It is also performed by both men and women, either in acrobatic motion using magic or not. On the other hand, the alim ulama and cerdik pandai are active in implementing the Adat Basandi Syarak Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (ABS-SBK). This philosophy means culture should be based on religion and religion should be based on Al-Quran. This article aims to inventory the appropriate movements of the Minangkabau dance based on the ABS- SBK value. This research is a qualitative study using documentation and interviews as techniques for collecting data. It is concluded that some dances still use the element of magic which is contrary to the ABS-SBK value. Keywords: Minangkabau Dance, movement based, ABS-SBK value. Introduction Basically, a dance communicates cultural values that are espoused by its supporters and functions as cultural expressions (Asriati: 2000). Philosophically, cultural values are included in the traditional philosophy known as Adaik Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (culture should be based on religion and religion should be based on Qoran). This is commonly called ABS-SBK in Minangkabau.

  • Nilai Adaptif-Reflektif Dalam Sindir-Kias Sebagai Wujud Dinamika Kebudayaan Bahasa Minangkabau
    NILAI ADAPTIF-REFLEKTIF DALAM SINDIR-KIAS SEBAGAI WUJUD DINAMIKA KEBUDAYAAN BAHASA MINANGKABAU Andri Azis Putra Universitas Proklamasi 45, UGM (BUDI-LPDP) Email: [email protected] Abstrak Bahasa adalah persoalan yang sangat vital dalam suatu kebudayaan. Minang- kabau sebagai sebuah suku yang setia dengan tradisi oralnya, memiliki dinami- ka bahasa yang sangat unik. Melalui pepatah-petitih para pendahulu, sindiran dan kiasan mengambil tempat sebagai pusat model kebudayaan Minangkabau. Akan tetapi, ketidakmengertian sebagian besar anak suku Minangkabau ten- tang makna sindir-kias, menjadikan standar moral tidak lagi sama. Oleh kare- na itu, penelitian ini bertujuan menemukan satu konsepsi yang bisa membumi- kan kembali sindir-kias dalam kehidupan orang Minangkabau secara khusus, dan orang Indonesia secara umum. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa dalam budaya kebahasaan Minangkabau, terdapat kemampuan adaptif dan sekaligus reflektif dalam mengembangkan sindiran dan kiasan. Ini membuktikan bahwa adat Minangkabau sangat terbuka dalam pengembangan kebahasaannya, akan tetapi pada saat yang sama mampu merefleksikan dan menginternalisasikan- nya hingga menjadi khas Minangkabau. Intersubjektivitas nilai dalam hal ini mengambil peran yang sangat penting. Oleh karena itu, nilai kemapanan yang dimiliki oleh tradisi kebahasaan Minangkabau adalah nilai adaptif-reflektif sehingga menjamin munculnya dinamika kebahasaan, yang tentu saja menga- rahkan model kebudayaan Minangkabau. Kata kunci: aksiologi, bahasa, Minangkabau, sindir-kias. Abstract Language is a vital issue in a culture. Minangkabau as a devoted clan to their oral tradition has a unique linguistic dynamics. Through the "proverbs" inhe- rited from its predecessor, satire and metaphor take its place as the center of Minangkabau culture models. However, the misunderstandings of the Mi- nangkabau people during this time of sindir-kias meaning is no longer makes the same morality standards.

  • The Impact of the West Sumatran Regional Recording Industry on Minangkabau Oral Literature
    Wacana, Vol. 12 No. 1 (April 2010): 35—69 The impact of the West Sumatran regional recording industry on Minangkabau oral literature SURYADI Abstract Due to the emergence of what in Indonesian is called industri rekaman daerah ‘Indonesian regional recording industries’, which has developed significantly since the 1980s, many regional recording companies have been established in Indonesia. As a consequence, more and more aspects of Indonesian regional culture have appeared in commercial recordings. Nowadays commercial cassettes and Video Compact Discs (VCDs) of regional pop and oral literature genres from different ethnic groups are being produced and distributed in provincial and regency towns, even those situated far from the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. Considering the extensive mediation and commodification of ethnic cultures in Indonesia, this paper investigates the impact of the rise of a regional recording industry on Minangkabau oral literature in West Sumatra. Focussing on recordings of some Minangkabau traditional verbal art genres on commercial cassettes and VCDs by West Sumatran recording companies, this paper attempts to examine the way in which Minangkabau traditional verbal art performers have engaged with electronic communication, and how this shapes technological and commercial conditions for ethnic art and performance in one modernizing society in regional Indonesia. Keywords Oral literature, oral tradition, traditional verbal art, media technology, Minangkabau, West Sumatra, regional recording industries, cultural mediation, representation of traditional culture, commodification of cultural practices, cassette, VCD. SURYADI is a lecturer in Indonesian studies at Leiden Institute for Area Studies / School of Asian Studies, Leiden University, and a PhD candidate at Leiden University. His research interests are oral tradition, literary life, and media culture in Indonesia.
