Revitalisasi Kearifan Lokal Tentang Mata Air Bagi Siswa Sma Kristen Waibakul, Kabupaten Sumba Tengah, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Diah Kartini Lasman

Bhakti: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat

Springs are a natural resource with significant ecological and cultural value for the people of Central Sumba Regency, particularly within the Marapu belief system. However, modernization and environmental changes threaten their sustainability. To revive local wisdom related to springs, the Community Service Team of FIB UI conducted a revitalization program at SMA Kristen Waibakul, Central Sumba. One of the main activities was an art competition themed "Springs in Sumbanese Culture," engaging students in interpreting the cultural and ecological values of springs through art. The competition received great enthusiasm, with 40 participants expressing their experiences and cultural identities through their artwork. …

Disemaniasi Hasil Penelitian Potensi Dan Manfaat Wisata Budaya Suku Anak Dalam Air Hitam Bukit Dua Belas Provinsi Jambi, Asyhadi Mufsi Sadzali

Bhakti: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat

The expansion of oil palm plantations around Bukit Dua Belas National Park in Jambi over the past few decades has not only contributed to climate change but has also significantly impacted the socio-cultural and economic life of the indigenous Suku Anak Dalam community, who have inhabited the forest as their settlement for hundreds of years. Jambi, with its vast tropical forest potential, is not only rich in biodiversity but also holds important cultural value, particularly from the Suku Anak Dalam Air Hitam community. In recent decades, this community has faced agrarian, social, and economic conflicts as a result of palm …

Upaya Peningkatan Pengetahuan Siswa Sekolah Dasar Mengenai Warisan Budaya Sebagai Usaha Pelestarian Budaya Kampung Tugu, Isman Pratama Nasution

Bhakti: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat

This community service program aims to enhance the understanding of elementary school students in Kampung Tugu Portugis regarding the importance of Cultural Heritage and Intangible Cultural Heritage in their environment. Kampung Tugu is a historic area shaped by the cultural fusion of Portuguese Mardijkers and the Betawi community. Based on interviews with local sources, it was found that there is a lack of cultural heritage education among the younger generation, particularly at SDN Semper Barat 01. The program activities included educational sessions, site visits, the creation of pocketbooks, a performance of Tugu keroncong music, and the development of a wall …


Sosialisasi Tradisi Purnama Di Karangrejo, Desa Wisata Borobudur Magelang, Turita Indah Setyani, Lily Tjahjandari 2025 Fakultas Ilmu Pengetahuan Budaya Universitas Indonesia

Sosialisasi Tradisi Purnama Di Karangrejo, Desa Wisata Borobudur Magelang, Turita Indah Setyani, Lily Tjahjandari

Bhakti: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat

The development of digital technology, while offering many conveniences, has also led the younger generation to become overly absorbed in their gadgets. Many young people today find it difficult to detach themselves from their devices. This situation can have negative effects on children's psychological development, as they need both motor and social stimulation. Traditional children's games offer significant benefits for physical and mental growth. Coinciding with the Summer Solstice event in Borobudur—when the Moon is positioned directly above Borobudur's coordinates—the Summer Solstice Festival was held in Karangrejo Tourism Village, Magelang. In support of this festival, a community service program was …


"Sunda Modern"; Gendered Modernity In Sundanese Performing Arts, Andrew N. Weintraub 2025 Department of Music, University of Pittsburgh

"Sunda Modern"; Gendered Modernity In Sundanese Performing Arts, Andrew N. Weintraub

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

In this article, I offer new ways of seeing and hearing Sundanese women singers in modern post-independence Indonesia. I propose a dynamic and historical approach to show how individual female singers shaped new material realities and symbolic meanings of modern Sundanese identity (Sunda modern) from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s. My approach emphasizes difference, uniqueness, and novelty in singers’ public image, on-stage presentation, vocal style, and musical repertoire. I contend that singers’ ability to branch out and cross over – by engaging the national (for example, singing in the national language) and the global (for example, Western-inflected …

Sundanese Performing Arts In The Us As Legacy Of The Center For World Music, Kathy Foley 2025 University of California, Santa Cruz

Sundanese Performing Arts In The Us As Legacy Of The Center For World Music, Kathy Foley

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Presentation of Sundanese arts in the US by non-Sundanese grew from a program of the Center for World Music (CWM), an incubator for Sundanese performing arts practice in the San Francisco Bay area in the 1970s. Those (both Sundanese and American) coming out of that encounter engaged in intercultural teaching and performance of music, dance, and wayang (puppet/human dance theatre) in the US in the then developing programs leading to a BA or graduate degree in ethnomusicology, dance, or theatre arts. Performances by Sundanese gamelan groups with American artists in and beyond the university also developed. While such groups persist, …

Beyond The "Zaman Kaset" (Era Of The Cassette); Interview With Euis Komariah, Henry Spiller

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Indonesian music fans all over the world were saddened to learn of the untimely death of Euis Komariah on 11 August 2011, in Bandung, West Java. Ibu Euis earned international fame as an award-winning singer, a teacher, and a businesswoman. I had the opportunity to interview her about her illustrious career on 19 April 2007, during her residency at the University of California, Davis. This essay provides an annotated translation of that interview, in which we addressed topics including media (radio broadcasting and the cassette industry), recording technologies, the development of new tunings and modes, and the development of jaipongan …

A Virtual Art Festival In West Java; Participatory Culture During The Pandemic, Neneng Yanti Khozanatu Lahpan

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

YouTube was used as a significant platform for public performances around the globe during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those given by contemporary and traditional artists and communities. Although this transference of public performance to virtual performance has meant challenges for traditional artists, it has also encouraged them to create new creative media spaces. Instead of confronting digital technology, some traditional artists compromise and negotiate with it. Through an ethnographic account of a performance in Tasikmalaya, West Java, this article describes how traditional artistic forms were preserved through a virtual-based art festival performed by the art community, Komunitas Cermin Tasikmalaya. Solidarity, …

The Sundanese Weekly Magazine "Manglé"; Fostering The Growth Of Sundanese Literature As Part Of Indonesian Cultural History, Taufik Rahayu

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Reflecting on the evolution of the weekly Sundanese magazine, Manglé, since its establishment in 1957, this article traces the magazine’s vital role in fostering the growth of modern Sundanese writing. For the past 66 years, it has provided a platform for Sundanese writers to showcase their works, with numerous prominent authors gracing its pages. At the peak of its success in 1964, Manglé had a circulation of 70,000 copies, but its circulation has dwindled over time. The advent of the internet and social media has presented new challenges, compelling Manglé to struggle to recapture its former glory. However, the …

Ajip Rosidi’S "Kegelisahan" (Restlessness) In Between Sundanese And Indonesian Literature, Teddi Muhtadin, Mikihiro Moriyama 2025 Padjadjaran University, Indonesia

Ajip Rosidi’S "Kegelisahan" (Restlessness) In Between Sundanese And Indonesian Literature, Teddi Muhtadin, Mikihiro Moriyama

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article explores the literary journey of Ajip Rosidi, one of Indonesia’s most prolific writers, highlighting his unique position between Sundanese and Indonesian literature. Ajip authored over 300 works spanning diverse genres, making significant contributions to literature and the preservation of cultural heritage. The article examines his ambivalence or restlessness (kegelisahan) regarding the tension between regional and national identities in literature, as exemplified in his reflections and creative output. Ajip’s early life in a linguistically mixed region of West Java laid the foundation for his literary pursuits in both Sundanese and Indonesian. His works often oscillated between traditional …

"Ngadéngékeun Nu Mantun"; Constructing The "Carita Pantun" Performance In Rice Planting Ritual Of The Baduy Indigenous Community, Endin Saparudin, Priscila Fitriasih Limbong, Turita Indah Setyani, R. Cecep Eka Permana

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This study aims to examine carita pantun performances in ritual contexts as observed in the Baduy community in Kanekes Village, Banten, on several occasions between 2021 and 2023. Carita pantun serves as traditional epics narrated in oral tradition performances accompanied by kacapi musical instruments. Historically, carita pantun was fully integrated into the ritual calendar and performed regularly in various regions in Tatar Sunda including West Java and Banten. Over time, it has been increasingly narrated for secular entertainment. This study explores carita pantun performances that retain a sacred function and remain deeply integrated into the life of the Baduy community. …


Transformed Images Of Women In A Sundanese Magazine; A Corpus Linguistics Perspective, Susi Yuliawati 2025 Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia

Transformed Images Of Women In A Sundanese Magazine; A Corpus Linguistics Perspective, Susi Yuliawati

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

In this paper, I examine the evolving portrayal of women in Sundanese society through a close analysis of certain nouns denoting women in the magazine Manglé. Using corpus linguistics, specifically word frequency and collocation analyses, I aim to investigate the evolving images of Sundanese women in relation to Indonesia’s political context over time. I argue that the evolution shown can be seen as a detailed overview of how the images of Sundanese women have been transformed. The results indicate that the trend in constructing women’s images is predominantly through the use of the noun wanoja, in contrast to …


Sundanese "Kecap Anteuran" From The Perspective Of Japanese Onomatopoeia, Yuyu Yohana Risagarniwa, Hera Meganova Lyra, Rahmat Sopian 2025 Padjadjaran University

Sundanese "Kecap Anteuran" From The Perspective Of Japanese Onomatopoeia, Yuyu Yohana Risagarniwa, Hera Meganova Lyra, Rahmat Sopian

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

One of the distinctive features of the Sundanese language is the use of Kecap Anteuran (KA), or verb intensifiers. This linguistic feature often poses challenges when translating Sundanese into foreign languages, particularly European languages. However, we argue that Sundanese KA demonstrates a higher degree of translatability into Japanese, a language that also uses verb intensifiers similar to those found in Sundanese. In Japanese, words analogous to Sundanese KA are categorized as giongo-gitaigo, although the term onomatope is more commonly used. This study aims to identify Sundanese KA based on Tamori’s classification of Japanese onomatopoeia. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, we …


Sundanese "Kitāb" Printed In Early-Twentieth-Century Egypt As Evidence Of Islamic Transregional Networks, Jajang A. Rohmana 2025 UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, Indonesia

Sundanese "Kitāb" Printed In Early-Twentieth-Century Egypt As Evidence Of Islamic Transregional Networks, Jajang A. Rohmana

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article will focus on Sundanese literacy as observed in the Islamic transregional networks established between the Middle East and West Java in the early twentieth century. Sundanese kitāb printed in Egypt by three Sundanese ulama reflect an increasingly intensive use of the Sundanese language in Islamic teaching in West Java compared to the earlier predominant use of Javanese. There is also a shift on the part of Sundanese ulama from manuscript to print culture. This shift corresponds to the increasing number of pilgrims and Malay-Indonesian students, including those from West Java, in Mecca and the consequent increasing demand for …

"Talaqqi" In The Age Of Bureaucracy; Symbiosis Of Pedagogical Cultures In West Javanese "Pesantren", Julian Millie

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Since Indonesian independence, the Republic’s Ministry of Religion has steadily become more deeply involved in the overseeing and monitoring of the country’s internally diverse system of Islamic education. This involvement has changed the pedagogical texture of Islamic education. The bureaucratized education system of the modern nation state aims to achieve policy goals such as quality at scale, equality of access, and standardization of curricula and teacher qualifications. In contrast, many Islamic institutions, and especially the pesantren (Islamic boarding school), structure their pedagogy around spiritual and genealogical hierarchies, and maintain teaching methods that affirm those hierarchies. This research asks about the …


Contemporary Sundanese Quran; A Departure Or Divine Proximity?, Taufiq Hanafi 2025 Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Contemporary Sundanese Quran; A Departure Or Divine Proximity?, Taufiq Hanafi

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The Sundanese are deeply immersed in Islam, as exemplified by the adage, “to be Sunda is to be Muslim”. An important initiative within this cultural-religious context is the translation of the Quran into low vernacular Sundanese, departing from the formal and codified language forms of the original. Despite concerns about potential textual transgression, this translation negotiates linguistic barriers and reinforces cultural identity within the Islamic framework. This paper examines the contemporary Sundanese translation of the Quran, Ayat Suci Lenyepaneun (1989), and argues that its use of low colloquial Sundanese not only enhances the Quran’s legibility but also establishes an immediate …
