Generation Z’S Perception Of Javanese Oral Tradition Of Myth And Taboo Ora Ilok In Javanese Society, Tira Nur Fitria
Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
The various myth and taboos of ora ilok are familiar among several Javanese groups. The objective of this research is to understand generation Z’s perception of the Javanese myth and taboo ora ilok in Javanese society. This research employs the descriptive qualitative method, involving 76 respondents from various regions of Java such as Central Java, East Java, West Java, and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The respondents were born between 1996 and 2005. Results show that the majority of respondents do not believe in the ora ilok myths. However, there is a different opinion from Generation Z. Some consider myths …
The Drum In The Mosque; A Modern Short Story By Djajus Pete, George Quinn
The Drum In The Mosque; A Modern Short Story By Djajus Pete, George Quinn
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The short story “Bedhug” (The drum in the mosque) by Djajus Pete (born 1948) was first published in the Javanese-language magazine Panjebar Semangat in 1997. It describes what happens in a small village when well-intentioned local people unsuccessfully attempt to replace an old mosque drum with a bigger, more resonant one. In many Muslim communities, the call to prayer is made by beating a drum in the mosque’s vestibule. The story gives a glimpse of how Islam is changing, and not changing, in Java. It is critical of village institutions and functionaries, but also humorous and deeply affectionate.
The Coming And Going Of "Come" And "Go"; Multi-Verb Directional Motion Constructions In Surinamese Javanese, Sophie Villerius
The Coming And Going Of "Come" And "Go"; Multi-Verb Directional Motion Constructions In Surinamese Javanese, Sophie Villerius
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article examines multi-verb directional motion constructions in Surinamese Javanese, a heritage language undergoing structural influence from Dutch and Sranantongo. These are constructions which express 'direction away' by means of a V2 lunga 'go away'. They are more frequent - and used with more different V1s - than in Indonesian Javanese, the baseline. The frequency change is a pattern change, a result of cross-linguistic transfer from Sranantongo, in which multi-verb constructions to express 'direction away' are very frequent. The extension of the usage contexts to more V1s is a form of semantic extension, and it is the first stage of …
Babaring Lelakon; The Use Of -Ing In Javanese Genitive Constructions, Daniel Krauße
Babaring Lelakon; The Use Of -Ing In Javanese Genitive Constructions, Daniel Krauße
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Two nominals in a genitive construction in Javanese are typically linked by the suffix -é in the low speech level and by -ipun in the high level, both of which are derived from the third person possessive suffix. There is a third suffix which links two nominals, namely -ing, which has so far received little attention in the literature. In this article, I present a syntactic and historical analysis of the suffix -ing. Of particular concern are four types of genitive constructions which permit the use of -ing, as opposed to two constructions where this suffix cannot be used.
The Kyai’S Voice And The Arabic Qur’An; Translation, Orality, And Print In Modern Java, Johanna Pink
The Kyai’S Voice And The Arabic Qur’An; Translation, Orality, And Print In Modern Java, Johanna Pink
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper discusses practices of translating the Qur’an into Javanese in the Indonesian post-independence era. Focusing on works that emerged in pedagogical contexts, it demonstrates that the range of translation practices goes far beyond contemporary notions of scriptural translation. I argue that this is due to the oral origin of these practices and to the functions they assume in teaching contexts. These result in a higher visibility of the translator who appears as a religious authority in his1 own right. His voice might therefore be considered a valuable contribution to the translation, rather than a distortion of the source text’s …

Spiritual Knight Mission In Novel Asmara Djibrat Ludira, Fahmi Iqbal Ibrahim,, Darmoko Darmoko
International Review of Humanities Studies
One result of culture is literary work, but broadly speaking literature is the work of individuals, only the object delivered will not be separated from the culture and social life of the community. The close relationship between literature and culture can produce literary works that have a function as cultural preservation. A complex culture can be reflected in a literary work. If traced carefully, it can be known that some authors have included a tradition and culture of an area in their literary work. One type of imaginary story is a novel. A novel is a term for a long, …

Yitna Yuwana Lena Kena In Gogroke Reroncen Kembang Garing’S Novel By Tulus Setiyadi, Arauni Mayanfauli, Darmoko Darmoko
International Review of Humanities Studies
Language expressions in Javanese culture that contain a warning to someone at the moment and will do an activity or work are often formulated with the word structure: yitna yuwana lena kena. The idea in the phrase is usually related to ethical values (moral philosophy) how one must be careful in speaking, behaving, and acting so that someone gets the safety of life in the world. Conversely, if someone is not careful in speaking, acting, and acting undoubtedly will get problems in his life. Ethical values in this novel relate to moral teachings to a woman so that she always …
Southeast Asian Manuscripts From The Collection Of Sir Hans Sloane In The British Library, Annabel Teh Gallop
Southeast Asian Manuscripts From The Collection Of Sir Hans Sloane In The British Library, Annabel Teh Gallop
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) was the founding father of the British Museum and its Library, which later became the British Library. Sloane’s vast collections of natural history specimens, coins, medals, ethnographic items, and books included four thousand manuscripts, twelve of which were from Southeast Asia. These twelve Southeast Asian manuscripts, including eight from the Indonesian archipelago, are described in detail here. Although Sloane is not known to have had personal connections with Southeast Asia or any particular interest in the region, this small collection nonetheless encompasses an exceptionally wide range of the languages, scripts, writing supports and books formats found …
Polite Vocabulary In The Javanese Language Of Surabaya, Daniel Krauße
Polite Vocabulary In The Javanese Language Of Surabaya, Daniel Krauße
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Surabaya and its surroundings are known for their peculiar dialect, which does not only exhibit very characteristic phonological and morphological features, but also has a politeness, honorific, and deferential system that has so far remained largely understudied. It is the aim of this paper to shed further light on the sociolinguistic situation of the Javanese dialect of the city of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia with a focus on the polite vocabulary (Krama, Krama Andhap, and Krama Inggil). Although to the Central Javanese ear, speakers of Surabayan Javanese sound discourteous, they by no means are impolite. After a general introduction about …
The Expression Of Location And Space In Surinamese And Indonesian Javanese, Sophie Villerius
The Expression Of Location And Space In Surinamese And Indonesian Javanese, Sophie Villerius
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper examines the influence of language contact and multilingualism on the expression of location and space in the heritage variety of Javanese spoken in Suriname. Alongside Javanese, this community also speaks Sranantongo and Dutch. It is found that Surinamese speakers tend to use simple locative constructions more frequently than baseline speakers, at the expense of complex constructions. It is shown that the individual speaker variables age, generation, place of residence, and network play a role in explaining the usage of simple versus complex locative constructions in Surinamese Javanese: the more language contact speakers experience, the more they will use …
Losing The Battle; The Marginalization Of Javanese Compact Forms, Aris Munandar
Losing The Battle; The Marginalization Of Javanese Compact Forms, Aris Munandar
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
In the contact situation with Indonesian, the standard variety of Javanese in Yogyakarta is experiencing an incipient shift. The shift is indicated by the shrinking domain of use, and the degradation of speakers’ proficiency. It also reveals some ongoing changes in its structure, observable in the tendency of the younger generation to use particular elements different to those used by grandparent and parent generations. This article examines unique patterns of Javanese morphosyntax by focusing on the suffix -a, infix -um-, -in-, and confix ka-an, on the basis of utterances recorded from authentic speech events involving speakers of different generations. The …

The Installation Of Prince Mangkubumi; Performing Javanese History, Els Bogaerts
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Representation of Javanese history in performance plays an important role in the self-characterization of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. It legitimizes the power of the rulers and strengthens the identity of the city and its inhabitants. The audiences know the stories and this is part of the fun. In the study of oral traditions it is essential to take these performances into account. In the stories featuring famous political figures from the history of Mataram and Yogyakarta, there is an intricate relationship between the written and the spoken word: all are based on both oral and written traditions and are …
