This article aims to criticize the incorporation and commodification of Using cultures undergone by Abdullah Azwar Anas in Banyuwangi, East Java. To answer the problem, we analyze primary data from our field research and secondary data from online media related to AAA's efforts to incorporate, articulate, and commodify Using cultures into various carnival programs (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017) by applying theories of commodification, postmodernism, and hegemony. The result of this study shows that, driven by his desire to promote Using cultures globally in the midst of postmodern trends, since 2011 the government of Banyuwangi has created many carnivals and festivals, such as
This article deals with Roland Barthes’ mythological thinking and its methodological implication in literary studies. Its basic thinking is that in various modes of representation exist the dynamics of mythical signification using denotative signification as its basic and aims to address particular message to readers or viewers. Such signification intertwines with the complexity of discourses, histories, knowledge, and problems in the real life. Its final goal is to depoliticize and ex-nominates making something nameless dominant political interest in narrative naturally. Barthes also conceptualizes an idea on second myth that uses (the first) myth as its basis of signifying process to subvert the dominant class’ political interest. For explaining the contributions of these two mythological perspectives in literary studies, I give conceptualize method of analysis using both of them. As concluding remarks, I position Barthes’ mythological thinking as a theoretical framework which can avoid literary studies from over intervention of outside-literary factors political economy, general theories, etc. that make the studies seem losing their narrative base. Because Barthes’ perspective emphasizes on reading of narrative dynamics without negating exploration of discursive richness in signifying process, naturalization of ideological discourses, and ex-nomination of particular political interest.AbstrakTulisan ini membahas pemikiran mitologis Roland Barthes serta implikasi metodologisnya dalam kajian sastra. Inti dari pemikirannya adalah bahwa dalam beragam moda representasi berlangsung dinamika penandaan mitis yang menggunakan penandaan denotatif sebagai basisnya dan bertujuan menyampaikan pesan tertentu kepada pembaca ataupun penonton. Penandaan tersebut berjalin-kelindan dengan kompleksitas wacana, sejarah, pengetahuan, dan permasalahan dalam kehidupan nyata. Tujuan akhirnya adalah untuk mendepolitisasi dan mengeksnominasi menjadikan sesuatu tak bernama kepentingan politik dominan dalam narasi secara alamiah. Barthes juga mengkonseptualisasikan gagasan tentang mitos kedua yang menggunakan mitos (pertama) sebagai basis proses penandaan untuk mensubversi kepentingan politik kelas dominan. Untuk menjelaskan implikasi metodologis kedua perspektif mitologis tersebut dalam kajian sastra, saya mengkonseptuliasikan metode analisis dengan menggunakan keduanya. Sebagai simpulan, saya memosisikan pemikiran mitologis Barthes sebagai kerangka teoretis yang bisa menghindarkan kajian sastra dari intervensi berlebihan dari faktor-faktor di luar sastra faktor ekonomi-politik, teori-teori umum, dan lain-lain yang menjadikan kajian tersebut tampak kehilangan pijakan naratif. Karena perspektif Barthes menekankan kepada pembacaan dinamika naratif dalam kerangka penandaan tanpa mengabaikan eksplorasi kekayaan diskursif dalam proses penandaan, naturalisasi wacana ideologis, dan eks-nominasi kepentingan politik partikular.
This article deals with an ethnic identity-based-power through the mobilization of Using cultures in Banyuwangi under local government policies in post-Reformation. By juxtaposing Foucauldian discourse, Gramscian hegemony, and political economy perspective, we discuss some cultural projects conducted by two Banyuwangi regents in post-Reformation periods, Samsul Hadi (2000Hadi ( -2005 and Abdullah Azwar Anas (2010-2015 and re-elected for 2016-2021 period). With different emphasized aspects, both of them created programs, which incorporated and mobilized Using cultures for accomplishing their political economy goals. Samsul legalized Using cultural expression, such as a local dance and language, as the way to strengthen the dominant-ethnic identity and reach consensus for his political authority. In more sparkling activities, Anas has transformed Using identity into various carnival programs, which, in one side, have supported tourism industry and, in other side, have helped him in gaining consensus for his hegemonic position. However, in the context of real cultural empowerment, those programs have not given positive effect for the cultural worker in the grass root.
Artikel ini, dengan orientasi konseptual-teoretis dan metodologis, akan membahas cairnya kuasa budaya dan negara dalam struktur naratif sastra, dengan menggunakan pendekatan poskolonial. Narasi sastra bisa diposisikan sebagai produk representasi yang menghadirkan subjektivitas cair, berupa tokoh naratif dan wacana partikular, terkait permasalahan sosial-budaya, khususnya hibriditas kultural. Kehadiran modernitas dan berlangsungnya praktik budaya tradisional dalam masyarakat pascakolonial menyebabkan timbul permasalahan tersebut. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa subjektivitas cair, di satu sisi, bisa memunculkan wacana emansipasi untuk memberdayakan masyarakat lokal dan, di sisi lain, bisa memunculkan resistensi terhadap kuasa berbasis budaya tersebut. Oposisi biner antara Barat dan Timur menjadi sangat cair, karena subjek poskolonial bisa menggunakan pemikiran modern untuk mendekonstruksi keutuhan modernitas maupun keutuhan budaya tradisional. Namun, ketika negara menerapkan neoliberalisme, subjektivitas cair dan hibriditas kultural perlu ditafsir-ulang. Kuasa budaya tradisi dan negara akan mendapatkan pemaknaan-baru dan resistensi; karena prinsip kebebasan individual dalam hukum pasar menuntut kehadiran minimum kedua entitas tersebut. Kondisi itu memunculkan peluang untuk mengkritisi dan memodifikasi kajian poskolonial.Kata kunci: struktur naratif, subjektivitas cair, resistensi, kajian poskolonial, neoliberalisme
