Before the Match Begins: The Narrative Agency of a Ball in a Javanese Geguritan
type: item
description: This article examines Muhammad Eriza Abikara’s short Javanese geguritan Bal through postclassical narratology, object agency, and narrative pedagogy. Although the poem contains no match, opponent, score, or victory, it produces a compact narrative in which a ball moves from material object to tactile companion and finally to a source of enthusiasm for learning. The study applies close textual reading to diction, repetition, temporal markers, apostrophic address, spatial thresholds, and the distribution of agency among the child, ball, school, classroom, and physical education teacher. The findings show that the poem is organised by a pre-competitive temporality. The repeated word sadurunge, meaning before, situates the ball at the threshold between play and institutional learning. The verb dakcekel, meaning I hold, creates tactile intimacy, while ngancani, meaning to accompany, grants the ball a relational role. Rather than distracting the child from education, the ball generates semangat sinau, or enthusiasm for learning. The article proposes the concept of the pre-competitive life of the ball to describe sporting objects before they are absorbed into competition, spectacle, nationalism, and measurable achievement. In contrast with the global visibility of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Bal presents football as an intimate pedagogical relation. The poem demonstrates how a minimal vernacular text can distribute narrative agency across human and nonhuman participants and rethink the conventional opposition between play and learning.

Adaptive Fidelity and the Culinary Continuity of Brongkos in Javanese Food Heritage
type: item
description: This study examines how brongkos, a traditional Javanese stew associated with Yogyakarta and Central Java, maintains its culinary identity while undergoing historical, social, and presentational change. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research combines textual analysis of Serat Centhini, a review of historical, gastronomic, scientific, and heritage sources, and a confirmatory interview with K.P. Budayaningrat, a cultural practitioner knowledgeable about Javanese culinary traditions. The findings show that the identity of brongkos does not depend on a completely fixed recipe. Variations may occur in meat cuts, tofu types, vegetables, cooking equipment, portion sizes, and serving formats. Nevertheless, the dish remains recognisable through a stable culinary structure consisting of kluwak, coconut milk, prolonged cooking, dark colour, tender ingredients, aromatic spices, and a balanced combination of savoury, mildly sweet, earthy, and spicy flavours. Historical references in Serat Centhini demonstrate that brongkos was consumed in everyday meals, guest receptions, and communal celebrations in the early nineteenth century. Its later circulation through palace narratives, colonial dining, food stalls, tourism, and contemporary dining further reveals its capacity to move across social contexts. The study proposes adaptive fidelity as a framework for understanding this continuity. Adaptive fidelity refers to the ability of a traditional dish to accommodate changes in supplementary ingredients, technology, presentation, and service while preserving its constitutive sensory and procedural relationships. The study concludes that the safeguarding of brongkos requires not rigid standardisation but the continued transmission of its culinary grammar through households, practitioners, food businesses, cultural experts, and educational institutions.

Umbul Pengging and the Emergence of Javanese Common Space: Toward a Hydro-Arboreal Commons
type: item
description: Communal spring environments have increasingly attracted scholarly attention within discussions concerning hydro-sociality, environmental humanities, commons studies, and relational ecological space. Nevertheless, studies in Indonesia generally position springs primarily as ritual centers, conservation objects, tourism infrastructures, or socio-economic resources. Comparatively limited attention has been directed toward understanding springs as relational communal environments shaped through the coexistence between water, giant vegetation, spatial atmosphere, historical continuity, and everyday social occupation. This study examines Umbul Pengging, Central Java, as a hydro-arboreal commons and a specifically Javanese form of common space. The study employed a qualitative reflective approach combining bibliometric mapping, visual observation, philological interpretation, and reflective spatial analysis. Bibliometric data derived from Scopus-indexed publications were processed using VOSviewer to identify broader scholarly tendencies concerning communal water environments, sacred springs, and hydro-sociality. Field observations and photographic documentation were conducted to examine communal interaction, arboreal presence, and lived spatial atmosphere within Umbul Pengging. Historical Javanese texts, including Bauwarna, Narpa Wandawa, and Pahargyan Surakarta, were interpreted hermeneutically to identify continuities between past and present communal functions of the spring environment. The findings demonstrate that Umbul Pengging functions not merely as a hydrological resource or recreational bathing site, but as a living communal environment where water, giant banyan trees, ritual memory, communal gathering, and public accessibility coexist dynamically. The study further proposes the concept of hydro-arboreal commons as an interpretive framework for understanding relational spring environments in Java, emphasizing that water and giant vegetation simultaneously operat…

The Unbridled Horse in the Royal Garden: Women’s Moral Formation in Serat Pratamakenya
type: item
description: This article examines women’s moral formation in Serat Pratamakenya, an eighteenth-century Javanese advice text attributed to Pangeran Pringgalaya and addressed to his eldest daughter. The study focuses on the expression wanita tindak dudu kuda mijil ing tamansari, which compares improper female conduct to an unbridled horse released into a royal garden. Combining single-manuscript philology with qualitative discourse analysis, the research treats manuscript NB 2956 as a historically situated codex and reconstructs selected propositions of counsel from its intricate poetic arrangement. Particular attention is given to the relationship between the manuscript’s riddling form, semantic reconstruction, and moral instruction. The findings show that the image of the unbridled horse functions as the governing metaphor through which subsequent counsels on speech, dress, patience, religious knowledge, family obligation, social conduct, and ancestral remembrance can be understood. The manuscript does not construct women merely as passive or deficient subjects. It imagines them as possessing significant bodily, relational, and spiritual force whose consequences extend to parents, husbands, relatives, and descendants. Moral restraint therefore operates as the management of consequential female energy. At the same time, the text remains unmistakably hierarchical, placing upon women a disproportionate responsibility for preserving domestic and social order. The article argues that restriction and agency are not presented as simple opposites in the manuscript. Women are disciplined precisely because their conduct is believed capable of transforming the moral environment around them. The later transmission of the text further demonstrates how private paternal counsel acquired a longer life as courtly moral discourse.

Mourning a Vanishing Soundscape: Vernacular Solastalgia in a Contemporary Javanese Geguritan
type: item
description: This study examines Any Faiqoh’s Kangen Tembang as a literary representation of acoustic and cultural loss in contemporary Javanese life. The poem recalls children’s songs, gobak sodor, macapat, protective prayers, affectionate forms of address, and familiar nonhuman sounds that are perceived as gradually disappearing. Rather than treating the text merely as an expression of nostalgia, the study investigates how the loss of culturally familiar sounds produces estrangement within a continuing home environment. A qualitative interpretive design was employed through close reading, soundscape-oriented analysis, contextual interpretation, and analytical translation. The analysis identified four interconnected movements in the poem, namely the transition from nostalgia to place-based distress, the construction of the village as a vernacular soundscape, the association of cultural silence with moral disorder, and the transformation of literary memory into an acoustic archive. The findings show that the poem represents home not simply as a physical location but as an environment sustained through songs, games, ritual voices, intergenerational address, and human and nonhuman relations. Their disappearance weakens cultural familiarity, communal intimacy, moral orientation, and channels of transmission. To explain this condition, the study proposes vernacular solastalgia as distress caused by the erosion of everyday sounds, practices, and relationships that formerly made a home environment culturally recognisable. The concept extends solastalgia cautiously beyond visibly damaged landscapes toward culturally inhabited acoustic environments. The study also demonstrates how locally published and noncanonical literature can preserve affective traces of gradual cultural loss that remain marginal within formal heritage documentation.

Kemampuan Menyunting Bahasa Jawa Mahasiswa Program Studi Sastra Daerah Fakultas Ilmu Budaya Universitas Sebelas Maret dalam Bidang Pilihan Kata (Diksi) Bahasa Jawa
type: item
description: Editing is a very important activity, both in the context of managing media (print and online, audio on radio and audiovisual on television), managing journals, or in works (fiction and non-fiction). This research aims to comprehensively describe the Javanese language editing skills carried out by students of the Regional Literature Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University in the field of word choice (diction in Javanese Language). The methods used include data collection methods and techniques, data analysis methods and techniques, and report presentation methods and techniques. The data collection methods and techniques used is a test method, that is, students are given a text that contains language errors (especially written language) and then students are asked to edit (edit, correct these errors.) The pretest showed students' low ability in editing diction or word choice in Javanese. The average pretest score on a scale of 100 is 33. This shows very low Javanese language skills. However, the posttest results showed a significant increase compared to the pretest scores. If the average pretest score is 33, then the average posttest score is 83. This posttest score increased after students were given an explanation regarding the mistakes made during the pretest.

Lawang Wektu dan Geografi Kosmologis Jawa dalam Novel Prau Layar ing Kali Progo karya Budi Sardjono
type: item
description: This study examines Budi Sardjono’s novel Prau Layar ing Kali Progo as a representation of Javanese cosmological geography that brings together physical and supernatural spaces within a single network of cultural experience. The novel recounts a father’s journey to find his missing son along the banks of the Progo River through a spiritual path that takes him from the Southern Coast to sea caves and the slopes of Mount Merapi. This study employs an interpretive qualitative approach using close reading and cultural hermeneutics. The analysis focuses on the construction of liminal space, the relationship between modern rationality and local cosmology, and the role of supernatural beings as connectors between cosmological realms. The results indicate that the Progo River in the novel functions not merely as a geographical setting but as a transitional corridor between the human world and the supernatural realm. The conflict between the deployment of a search-and-rescue (SAR) team and village rituals reveals an epistemological negotiation between modern knowledge systems and local Javanese knowledge systems. The Southern Coast and Mount Merapi are constructed as sacred nodes interconnected through supernatural pathways. Furthermore, the use of the honorific prefix “Nyai” for supernatural characters indicates that the supernatural world is not conceived as a chaotic, orderless space, but rather as a realm characterized by gender, hierarchy, authority, and communicative ethics. Thus, this article demonstrates that contemporary Javanese literature continues to maintain a cosmological prespective on nature and social space amid the dominace of modern rationality.

Register Moderasi dalam Ekologi Tutur Jawa: Bahasa Indonesia sebagai Strategi Negosiasi Keakraban dan Hierarki
type: item
description: This study examines Indonesian as a register of moderation within the contemporary Javanese speech ecology by focusing on the distribution of language registers in the novel Jegingger. Using a qualitative interpretative approach based on literary linguistic reconstruction, the study demonstrates that language choice is not random but is distributed according to the social spaces of narration, namely the village and the city. The findings show that in the village setting, language functions to reinforce primordial hierarchies through religious registers, whereas in the urban setting, Indonesian and elements of English operate as moderation strategies that negotiate merit-based and symbolic hierarchies in a non-confrontational manner. Indonesian does not function merely as a neutral language but as a mediating register that enables speakers to manage social distance when ngoko is too intimate and krama is too hierarchical. This phenomenon reflects the emergence of post-feudal linguistic agency, namely the capacity of modern Javanese speakers to reconfigure social relations through non-feudal register choices without sacrificing politeness. This study contributes to the development of the concept of moderation register and broadens the understanding of the role of the national language in the transformation of Javanese speech ecology.

Filial Ethics as Moral Governance: Navigating Feeling in Nineteenth-Century Javanese Court Literature
type: item
description: This article examines Serat Pariminta, a nineteenth-century Javanese court text attributed to Sri Paduka Mangkunagara IV, as an articulation of filial ethics functioning as moral governance. Departing from readings that treat filial relations as domestic morality or cultural values, this study argues that Serat Pariminta configures the parent-child relationship as a regulatory infrastructure through which moral legitimacy and social order are produced. Drawing on theories of emotional regimes and the navigation of feeling, the analysis demonstrates how filial emotions, such as parental relief, genealogical honor, enduring shame, and ancestral disgrace, operate as evaluative mechanisms that guide conduct without recourse to juridical coercion. Methodologically grounded in modern philology, the study prioritizes close textual analysis over manuscript materiality, tracing how ethical authority is constructed through lexical choice, emotional evaluation, and discursive patterning within the text. By situating Serat Pariminta within global discussions on private and state emotion, this article contributes to the history of emotions and moral governance by showing how intimate familial relations can function as pre-institutional foundations of wise and legitimate authority. The findings affirm the relevance of non-Western court literature as a source of theoretical insight into the emotional infrastructures of governance.

Mediasi Epistemik dalam Penerjemahan Leksem Aji: Analisis Mikro-Leksikal pada Serat Ajisaka dan Serat Wedhatama
type: item
description: Contemporary Translation Studies increasingly position translation as an epistemic practice that not only transfers linguistic meaning but also mediates cultural knowledge. This study aims to examine how the lexeme aji is mediated in translation practices when it appears in two Javanese manuscripts of different genres and functions, namely Serat Ajisaka and Serat Wedhatama. The study employs a qualitative–interpretive approach with manuscript-based micro-lexical analysis within the framework of Critical Translation Studies. The data consist of excerpts from Javanese texts containing the lexeme aji, accompanied by transliteration and translation, which are analyzed through contextual linguistic reading and a critical analytical circuit to reveal the mechanisms of epistemic mediation operating in translation. The findings show that aji undergoes asymmetric translation treatment: in Serat Ajisaka, aji is frozen through semantic closure as the political identity of “king,” whereas in Serat Wedhatama, aji undergoes epistemic simplification through moral abstraction that obscures its value force and ethical legitimacy. These findings affirm that translation plays an active role in shaping representations of cultural knowledge and demonstrate that micro-lexical analysis can uncover epistemic reductions that are often overlooked in macro-level studies. This research contributes to the development of Translation Studies by offering a reflective analytical model sensitive to the ecology of meaning and the distinctive Javanese epistemology.

Hermeneutics of Banality dalam Geguritan Sayur Asem
type: item
description: This study examines the geguritan Sayur Asem using a hermeneutics of banality approach, understood as a hermeneutic reading of words, objects, and everyday practices that are often regarded as trivial, in order to demonstrate that banal elements in the text do not function merely as background but instead constitute the primary structure of meaning through which ethical and affective dimensions of life are articulated. Employing an interpretive qualitative method through parallel textual readings of the Javanese original and its Indonesian translation, complemented by coding tables to map banal units, the study identifies four main patterns: material banality as an awareness of life crisis, bodily practices as a form of silent ethics, banal affect as a strategy of psychological resilience, and banality as a horizon of dignity and gratitude. Theoretically, this research contributes by proposing hermeneutics of banality as a methodological approach in literary and cultural studies, while also reaffirming the relevance of Javanese geguritan within the discourse of intangible cultural heritage.

Pepali Ki Ageng Sela: Filologi Modern dan Universalitas Etika dalam Perspektif Regime of Truth
type: item
description: This study examines Pepali Ki Ageng Sela as a Javanese inner-ethical text preserved through photocopied manuscripts circulating among local communities in Grobogan, Central Java. Using a modern philological approach, this research conducts transliteration, translation, and content analysis to extract ten core pepali that represent the moral conduct of the community. Through Foucault’s framework of the regime of truth, the pepali are interpreted as a system of truth not produced by formal authorities but transmitted through social practices and the circulation of popular manuscripts. The findings indicate that the pepali contain a structure of self-restraint intertwined with the four passions in Javanese–Islamic ethics (amarah, supiyah, aluamah, and mutmainah), while simultaneously showing thematic correspondences with the seven deadly sins in Western ethics. This cross-tradition convergence suggests the presence of universal ethical patterns emerging autonomously across civilizations. The study asserts that Pepali Ki Ageng Sela is not merely a local moral document but an epistemic node that reveals resonant values shared by Javanese, Islamic, and global ethical traditions.

Kota Nyaman yang Tak Meminta Kepulangan: Analisis Sosiologi Sastra dan New Narratology atas ‘Stasiun Balapan’ Didi Kempot
type: item
description: The lyrics of “Stasiun Balapan” by Didi Kempot are often read as a narrative of personal heartbreak; however, the portrayal of separation in the song in fact contains deeper social tensions. This article examines the song as a literary text through a combination of the Sociology of Literature and new narratology, particularly the concept of the indexical narrative situation, which understands fictional elements as pointers to real social conditions. Within the context of city branding, Solo is frequently framed as “the most livable city,” an official discourse that constructs an image of stability and harmony. Yet, the female figure who leaves and never returns in the song functions as a narrative index that exposes another side of the city: a transit space that opens possibilities of mobility, detachment, and the erosion of communal attachment. This analysis demonstrates that the emotional experience conveyed in the song is not merely a melancholic fiction, but a representation of social structures encountered by urban Javanese residents, particularly lower–middle-class groups who are intimately familiar with stations, platforms, and journeys without certainty. By employing the concepts of storyworlds and experientiality, this article finds that urban comfort is not universal; rather, it is a discourse that conceals experiences of loss, alienation, and the fracturing of human relationships. Ultimately, “Stasiun Balapan” reveals how popular narratives can function as an affective archive of society, a space where imagination, urban space, and social reality converge within a single emotional event.

Sumur Sinaba lan Lumaku Tinimba: Epistemologi Jawa dalam Konteks Keseimbangan Alam dan Krisis Bencana
type: item
description: This study begins with the quiet wisdom preserved in the Javanese aphorisms sumur sinaba and sumur lumaku tinimba, expressions that view the well not as an inanimate object but as a living subject within the cultural cosmos. Sumur sinaba depicts a well that is visited by people, whereas sumur lumaku tinimba symbolizes a well that comes to the people. These two proverbs serve as the point of departure for uncovering micro-narratives, small stories that contain ethical and cosmological depth beneath their seemingly simple form. Framed by micro-narrative theory and Gestalt perspectives, this research traces how expressions about wells shape an integral cultural space where humans, nature, and spirituality mutually interrelate. Methodologically, it employs a micro-hermeneutic reading of proverbs, myths, and oral fragments from Javanese communities, treating them as living texts that reveal social and metaphysical relations through their symbolic layers. The findings show that the well represents a relational ontology: its silence embodies social continuity, while its movement signifies ethics and social receptivity. Through these small stories, the study demonstrates how Javanese culture embeds philosophical reflection in everyday practice, transforming banal actions into epistemic gestures. Ultimately, this research reminds modern society that truth often begins in ordinary encounters where humans draw meaning from their surroundings, affirming the value of micro-narratives as vessels of cultural wisdom and the ethics of sustainability.

Between Taste and Order: An Ethnomethodological Study of Semar Mendem in Javanese Culinary Culture

description: This study examines Semar Mendem as an epistemic arena that links taste, eating practices, and Javanese cultural values. Using an ethnomethodological approach combined with multisensory ethnography, the research explores how bodily experience through texture, aroma, small portioning, and modes of consumption produces knowledge about sufficiency and self-restraint. The ancestral proverb “siji kurang, loro kakehan” is interpreted as a social practice that regulates behavior through an awareness of limits. A symbolic analysis of the dish’s name and form shows that Semar, as a threshold figure, and mendem, as a liminal condition, merge to construct a distinctive boundary epistemology in Javanese culture. The findings affirm that Semar Mendem is not merely a market snack but a moral cosmogram that teaches moderation, self-reflection, and the wisdom of taste. Amid today’s fast and excessive consumption culture, Semar Mendem opens a new discourse on “wisdom through taste” and offers an ethical model of consumption that remains highly relevant to contemporary society.
