“…The movement is a form of reproduction of the idea, which originates from Adam's teaching which emerged in the colonial era (Aziz, 2012;Putri, 2017), of using non-violent means, as taught by their ancestors, to love harmony (Darmastuti, 2015). Aside from this, the issues of livelihood and environment are the main problems which gave birth to this movement (Asrawijaya, 2020;Putri, 2017;Setiadi et al, 2017;Suharko, 2016)a shift has occurred in the Sedulur Sikep communitys attitude since the increase in its popularity and coverage in the mass media following its involvement in the anti-cement movement in Central Java.

“…Prior to opposing the establishment of a cement factory, Samin people were known as a group of farmers with a culture of opposing state hegemony in the vicinity of Kendeng Mountains covering Blora, Kudus, Purwodadi, Grobogan, Pati and Bojonegoro, Ngawi, Tuban, and Madiun (Asrawijaya, 2020;Novianto, 2018;Putri, 2017;Setiadi et al, 2017, Suharko, 2016. Historically, the culture of opposition was born from the frustration experienced by Javanese farmers in the Dutch colonial period, a consequence of the high tax burden placed on the farmers, as a result they fled to the interior, out of reach of the colonial government (Ba'asyin & Ba'asyin, 2014).…”

This paper explores the role of a leader in the Samin people’s opposition movement to the construction of a cement factory in the Kendeng Mountains, Java, Indonesia, using Agency Theory. Using Agency Theory can readily explain why the Samin people, who undertook passive opposition to state hegemony, were later able to undertake active and open opposition. Agency became an important factor enabling the Samin people to mount an opposition that was active, open and organized. This agency is about the person of Gunretno. Data were collected using the interview and participation‒observation methods. Interviews were conducted regarding a leader who acted as an agent for opposition actions, and with informants drawn from Samin residential circles and stakeholders who supported the Samin people’s opposition movement. The results revealed that agency is a major contributor to interpreting an opposition movement’s ideological formulation, development of networks, stakeholder support, opposition movement actions of advocacy, and peaceful demonstrations. The Samin people’s opposition actions enhanced their credibility, thus contributing to their movement’s victories through the courts. These findings contribute to social movement theory, particularly in relation to farmers’ movements and traditional communities.

“…The Samin community's struggle against the plan to establish a cement factory is still ongoing today. The dynamics of the journey of the Samin group's social movement has been going on from 2006, then in 2008 it was able to mobilize the masses to form movement organizations and network with various elements of society, until modern resistance was carried out to stop the plan to build a cement factory in Pati (Novianto, 2018;Putri, 2017;Setiadi et al, 2017). This paper will explore the dynamic context of the Samin movement using social movement theory.…”

This article explains the dynamics of the Samin movement against the plan to establish a cement factory in Pati (Kendeng mountains), which has been a manifest conflict that has yet to reach a common ground. This research was conducted ethnographically with a qualitative approach, while the paradigm used to discuss is social movement theory. The findings and discussion show that political opportunities arise because the plan to build a factory that was legally flawed and humanity conflicts with a sense of justice. The protests carried out by the Samin community did not get a positive response from the state, coupled with other disappointments that had been accumulated causing a sense of deprivation as citizens. They feel colonized in their own country which results in collective rejection behavior. Their struggle have been getting bigger with the role of actors who are able to mobilize, form movement organizations, network with various elements of society, and facilitate open resistance. Cultural framing emerged through the spread of the ideology of the movement, where this ideology was rooted in the teachings of natural sustainability raised by the Samin community.

This study examines the intertwining of the attributive elements of feminine narrative on social movement in relation to the narration of Gegeran (riot) Samin in the context of industrialization in Kendeng, Central Java. Recent studies accentuated the narration of Saminisme as the history of resistance to colonialism becomes a study of the description of an unpretentious culture that is to be relevant for cultural conservation. Meanwhile, during this tumultuous era of industrialization, the reconstruction of the narrative of Saminism as a resistance movement was again in the spotlight, especially why women seemed dominant in this struggle. This research was conducted in April-May 2016 based on a narrative ethnography approach that is to be more sensitive to the emergence of a story, between textual and contextual data. The question was why there are differences in the articulation of narratives between elements of Sedulur Sikep values in responding to the establishment of cement factory reflected in the different attitudes and expressions. The research concludes that this social movement is intertwined with struggle efforts based on awareness of cultural diversity and socio-economic class movements by elaborating narrative elements from the specific historical narrative as the cyclical mobilization and are constituted using the performative elements of the activities or actions they held
