Challenging the Truth of the Text: Examining the Intertwining of “Palagan di Kutamaya” in Dramatic Scripts and Sundanese Songs

Lilis Sumiati, Eti Mulyati, Pradasta Asyari — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Every artwork is viewed as a network of interconnected meaning, forming a dynamic structure akin to a spider's web. This view is reflected in Dance Drama and Sundanese Kawih, both of which adapt the Jaya Perkosa episode from the Babad Sumedang script. To analyze this relationship, the intertextuality approach is employed to trace the interlocking texts and meanings. On the other hand, the critical discourse approach is used to dissect how both voice criticism and discourse are shaped by the historical relations. As a result, the two works reproduce the content of the Babad Sumedang to reflect current social, political, and cultural conditions. Intertextuality contributes to connecting old texts with contemporary contexts, thereby facilitating a meeting between tradition and modernity. This process demonstrates that cultural texts are continually in dynamic negotiation with an ever-evolving reality.

The Development of Soga Tingi (Ceriops tagal) Natural Dye Paste Material for Block Printing on Textiles

Hanifa Aisha Yasmin, Mochammad Sigit Ramadhan, Gina Shobiro Takao — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Block printing is a technique of carving motifs on a printing plate coated with dye and pressed repeatedly along the fabric to create patterns. One potential natural dye that can be applied is the Soga tingi (Ceriops tagal). In today’s textiles and fashion industries, the use of natural materials is increasing in line with the growing awareness of a sustainability lifestyle. This study aims to develop Soga tingi dye into the optimal paste formula for block printing techniques with fixation, plate material, and suitable fabrics. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data from literature reviews, field observations, interviews, and laboratory experiments. The results reveal the successful formulation of a Soga tingi natural dye paste with an optimal composition. The most effective thickening agent was found to be sodium alginate, a food-grade thickener used in a ratio of 10 g to 100 ml of liquid natural dye, resulting in a viscosity of 21,135 mPas. Thus, the block-printed cotton fabric made with the Soga tingi natural dye paste can be used for fashion products.

A Study of Aesthetic Experience in Music: A Shift in Consciousness from Empirical to Immanent

Ovan Bagus — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study discusses the presence of immanent consciousness through music. The issue discussed is how this immanent reality is present in the practice of playing music. Thus, the locus of this research is a study of the aesthetic experience of musicians when playing music. This is because, so far, when informants talk about the topic of music performance, the object of study tends to focus on practical matters such as the effectiveness of playing techniques, repertoire selection strategies, music analysis, and performance management. In Indonesia, music studies that discuss immanent experiences tend to emphasize non-sensory experiences: immanence as a type of transcendent experience that is divine, cosmic, or metaphysical. Conversely, the role of music in relation to the emergence of immanent experiences has not been widely discussed. Using Deleuze's concept of the virtual, this study elaborates on various immanent experiences in the context of traditional musicians. Research data was collected through interviews with two traditional musicians: Iwan Gunawan (drummer) and Maspon (saluang player). The data was then categorized into three types of experiences: empirical experiences, threshold experiences, and various sensations felt. Findings indicate that musical practice facilitates a shift in consciousness, moving from empirical perception toward immanent awareness. This shift enables musicians to encounter new forms of reality beyond standardized performance norms—emerging as pre-predicative modes of understanding.
