The research method used in this study is a qualitative-descriptive method combined with field studies. The researcher conducted the study through several stages, namely literature review, field observation, and interviews with experts. The findings of …

Dinamika Kampung Kukusan: Perubahan Sosial, Ekonomi Dan Lingkungan Terkait Keberadaan Universitas Indonesia Di Depok 1987-2016, Agus Setiawan

Multikultura

Kukusan Village is one of the communities directly affected by the establishment of the University of Indonesia (UI) campus in Depok. Located in the northern part of Depok's city government center, the village borders South Jakarta and serves as a connecting route between Depok and South Jakarta, frequently traversed by commuters residing in Depok but working in Jakarta. The history of Kukusan Village and the transformation of its landscape since the UI campus began operating in Depok until 2016 has not been widely documented. Yet, significant visible changes have occurred in terms of social, economic, and environmental aspects.This study aims …

Menyoal Rajah Dan Pasaduan Dalam Struktur Teks Carita Pantun Baduy, Endin Saparudin, Atiqotul Fitriyah, M. Yoesoef, Fitria Sis Nariswari, Alfian Siagian 2025 Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Pamulang

Menyoal Rajah Dan Pasaduan Dalam Struktur Teks Carita Pantun Baduy, Endin Saparudin, Atiqotul Fitriyah, M. Yoesoef, Fitria Sis Nariswari, Alfian Siagian

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This article explores the text structure of Kanekes (Baduy) carita pantun, focusing on the presence of rajah, previously understood as the beginning and end of the text (functioning as 'prayers and supplications' to the ancestors). Through analysis of documentation from J.J. Meijer (1891), Wim van Zanten (1977), as well as recent fieldwork (2022-2023), it was found that the rajah was not always in this position. This research uses an ethnographic approach and was conducted in August-October 2022 and September-October 2023 in Kanekes, Leuwidamar, Banten. Nine informants who work as pemantun and responders were recruited. Data were obtained through interview and …

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 …

Children Of Patanjala; Revisiting The Problem Of Baduy Origins Using Old Sundanese And Old Javanese Sources, Aditia Gunawan

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Various theories regarding the origins of the Baduy people have been discussed by scholars. A recent contribution by Robert Wessing and Bart Barendregt (2005) approaches the problem from the broader context of the structure of kingdoms in Java and Pajajaran. The present paper assesses their theory in the light of documentary sources from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, not only in the Sundanese language but also in Old Javanese. These sources indicate that the religious aspects of Baduy society reflect practices and ideas that seem to have been widespread in early Java and Bali. My approach is to investigate …

Secrets Of A Beautiful Woman; R. Tjandrapradja’S "Wawacan Rusiah Nu Geulis": A Morality Tale From West Java, Wendy Mukherjee

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Raden Tjandra Pradja’s Wawacan rusiah nu geulis (The verse tale of the secrets of a beautiful woman) which was published in 1921 is a verse narrative of high literary merit. A tale of sexual morality, it is an early example of the realist fiction which was to develop during the first half of the twentieth century in the Sundanese language of West Java. The work carries an unusual and intricately woven sub-text telling of ethnic and cultural tension in Bandung, the provincial capital, through the representation of non-Sundanese figures – Hadhrami Arabs and cosmopolitan foreign Muslims. An Arab, Sheikh Abubakar …

A Translation Of And Commentary On Yus R. Ismail’S Short Story “Assalamualaikum…”, C.W. Watson

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Yus R. Ismail is a prolific Sundanese short story writer whose stories regularly appear in Sundanese journals and newspapers. This story “Assalamualaikum…“ appeared in Pikiran Rakyat in August 2023. It is a characteristic story of his in that it takes as its starting point the everyday lives of Sundanese villagers, and yet at the same time creates an aura of mystery around their activities. Some brief introductory information is given on the origins of the Sundanese short story in the early twentieth century and its subsequent development up to the present. A translation of the story given parallel to the …

Exploring The “4-Trans” In Bi/Multilingual Teacher Education: Introduction To The Special Issue, Sandra I. Musanti, David Martinez-Prieto, Xiaodi Zhou 2025 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Exploring The “4-Trans” In Bi/Multilingual Teacher Education: Introduction To The Special Issue, Sandra I. Musanti, David Martinez-Prieto, Xiaodi Zhou

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

In this introductory essay, the editors of the special issue on the 4-trans in bi/multilingual teacher education, highlight the contributions of one or more of the “4-trans” lenses—transnationalism, transculturalism, translanguaging, and transdisciplinarity—to explain, question, challenge, or propose new ways of understanding bi/multilingual teacher education. Eight articles that challenge monolithic perspectives of teacher education are presented.


Dialogic Foundations Of The “4-Trans” Framework: Towards A Comprehensive And Dynamic Understanding Of Multilingual Teacher Education, David Martinez-Prieto, Sandra I. Musanti, Xiaodi Zhou 2025 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Dialogic Foundations Of The “4-Trans” Framework: Towards A Comprehensive And Dynamic Understanding Of Multilingual Teacher Education, David Martinez-Prieto, Sandra I. Musanti, Xiaodi Zhou

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

In this article, we develop the “4-trans” framework by reflecting on the way current multilingual teacher preparation scholarship has addressed translanguaging, transnationalism, transculturality, and transdisciplinarity either in compartmentalized or integrative manners. While current literature has addressed some “trans” intersections, we propose the enunciation of the “4-trans” as permeable and complementary principles in multilingual education that can serve to better examine the experiences and challenges of multilingual pre-service teachers. To amalgamate the “4-trans” to examine the development of multilingual pre-service teachers, this article describes the construction of a multidimensional framework based on a dialogic conception of social …


"Integrating The Seven Stages Of Conocimiento With Nahuatl And Ralámuri Wisdom In Kosmic Feminism: My Creative Writer Identity.", Hilda Yaneth Sotelo Dr 2025 University of Texas at El Paso

"Integrating The Seven Stages Of Conocimiento With Nahuatl And Ralámuri Wisdom In Kosmic Feminism: My Creative Writer Identity.", Hilda Yaneth Sotelo Dr

Journal of Creative Writing Studies

This paper explores the intersection of Kosmic Feminism and the seven stages of conocimiento as outlined by Gloria Anzaldúa, integrating Indigenous wisdom from Nahuatl and Ralámuri traditions. It examines how decolonial thought, feminist theory, and creative writing can be transformative tools for personal and communal healing. Drawing on personal experiences rooted in the borderlands of Ciudad Juárez-El Paso and Rarámuri heritage, the author blends Anzaldúa’s framework of conocimiento with Indigenous perspectives to offer a critique of patriarchal systems and a vision of holistic, cosmic resistance. The seven stages of conocimiento—awakening (El Arrebato), liminality (La Nepantla), commitment (El Compromiso), healing (La …


Unearthing Silence: Deaf Archaeology As A Pathway To Social Justice And Accessibility, Abigail H. Steiner 2025 Binghamton University

Unearthing Silence: Deaf Archaeology As A Pathway To Social Justice And Accessibility, Abigail H. Steiner

Binghamton University Undergraduate Journal

Deaf archaeology is an emerging field exploring the material culture, spaces, and histories of Deaf communities to understand their social lives and identities. This paper examines Deaf archaeology as a framework for uncovering the historical presence of Deaf individuals and promoting social justice. It begins by defining deafness, contrasting medical and cultural perspectives, then traces the field’s roots in sign language evolution, marginalization, and Deaf education. Through a timeline of findings, the study reveals how Deaf individuals have been recognized or overlooked historically. Engaging with the Southern Tier Deaf community, I explore accessible archaeology and the role of Deaf archaeology …


Daydreamer, Minh-Hung Nguyen 2025 Binghamton University--SUNY

Daydreamer, Minh-Hung Nguyen

Binghamton University Undergraduate Journal

Daydreamer is a collection of five poems that blend into a colorful collage. “A peaceful ancient town” depicts a typical day in Hoi An while “Summer noon melody,” written in traditional Vietnamese verse form lục bát (six-eight), describes a peaceful Vietnamese countryside village during harvest days. The tone immerses into the darkness of isolation in “Midnight piece” and then becomes calmer, allowing nature to shine in “The squirrel and the pond” which consists of haiku poems about the cycle of seasons and life, a classic theme in Japanese poetry. Finally, the collection concludes with “In the middle of the clear …
