In the discourse of the revival of piety in contemporary Indonesia, the struggle for body identity in the Hijrah Tattoo Program shows the commotion between personal meanings and the occurrence of a conflict of power. Using in-depth interview methods and internet searching, as well as a psychoanalytic perspective, particularly that of the three registers elaborated by Jacques Lacan, this study juxtaposes and compares the strength of political, corporate, religious, and family power relations in the practice of detattoo and the three stages of detattooization in Indonesia. The results of the analysis show that detattooization in the discourse of social piety is a product of the hegemony of political, corporate, and religious power relations which are managed by the subjects of detattoo as a negotiating strategy to reclaim access to conditions of fulfillment validated by the family hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":241621,"journal":{"name":"Retorik: Jurnal Ilmu Humaniora","volume":"104 50","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139135077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relations of posthuman subjects will always be surrounded by the current situation being faced, so it is no longer necessary to differentiate human and nonhuman hierarchically. Mongrel is a fictional story published serially in the mass media KumparanPlus in 2021. This article uses a discursive approach to gain knowledge about the relationship of posthuman subjects by connecting meaning, representation, and context. This article shows that the posthuman conditions that surround characters in Mongrel include the economic crisis, advanced capitalism, and the creation of paguyuban (community), technology and artificial intelligence, and the work of shamans and the existence of Dimensi Kalia. In some ways, the posthuman condition in Mongrel exhibits the attempt to surpass the dichotomies especially between human/animal/plant/technology. The posthuman condition in Mongrel leads to a double-edged sword, namely the paguyuban going hand in hand with advanced capitalism. Mr. Polo, as the metaphor of advanced capitalism, no longer utilizes the dichotomy of human/nonhuman and modern science/shaman to develop his business. This is also the case for the paguyuban. However, what sets Mr. Polo apart is his attempt to control nonhuman entities in order to further his self-interested agenda.","PeriodicalId":241621,"journal":{"name":"Retorik: Jurnal Ilmu Humaniora","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139135950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel, originally titled Un viejo que leía novelas de amor, is a canonical work of Latin American literature that was published in 1989. The plot clearly depicts the postcolonial situation in Latin America. Unfortunately, postcolonial readings of this translated novel are very minimal. In a postcolonial context, the work of translating texts cannot be considered as a job that is arbitrarily chosen, whimsical, or even without political charges behind the scenes. Especially if the text being translated comes from third world and/or formerly colonized countries. The translator will certainly have fundamental reasons in selecting and choosing a text (postcolonial literature) to be translated. Thus, I decided to do an alternative reading that can be used on this translated novel using the concept of hybridity by Homi K. Bhabha. On the other hand, I also want to see how far Luis Sepúlveda depicts the postcolonial phenomenon in Latin American society as a formerly colonized society represented through conflicts in his novel. Because the reality in the novel is the reality experienced by Luis Sepúlveda when he was on an expedition with UNESCO for seven months in the territory of the indigenous Shuar tribe in Ecuador. Reading the novel The Old Man Who Read Love Stories means reading how the author positions himself as the other in a different cultural institution. Then understanding these two contexts means we are trying to realize what the condition of our society in Indonesia is, as a fellow postcolonial society.","PeriodicalId":241621,"journal":{"name":"Retorik: Jurnal Ilmu Humaniora","volume":"66 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of the sinden (singer) who stands, dialogues, sings and dances during the wayang performance is a special attraction for the audience of wayang fans (this article uses the term “stand up sinden”). This article will broadly discuss the form of commodification that occurs in the stand up sinden practice seen in Ki Seno Nugroho’s (KSN) wayang show streamed on Youtube. This discussion aims to examine the form of commodification that occurs in the stand up sinden phenomenon and its possible future impact, especially in the world of wayang performing arts. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with document data sources (including personal and Youtube social media channel sites), interviews, and participant observation conducted by the author. This research suggests that the commodification that occurs in the KSN shadow puppet show that employs stand up sinden is in accordance with Vincent Mosco’s thoughts on the three aspects of commodification: content commodification, audience commodification, and worker commodification. Of the three aspects, content commodification is the most dominant form of commodification in KSN performances, especially for stand up sinden. Stand up sinden, as a trend of commodification in wayang shows, influences other artists to make various efforts to match the same level of performance standards. The commodification that occurs in KSN performances on the one hand can facilitate and give pleasure to the achievement of the coveted sales of the performing artists. On the other hand, performances that lead to commodification erode the objective consciousness of the audience owing to instrumental/media logic, and things that become popular quickly also risk being quickly abandoned, due to the flow of new interests for other creative industries. The influence of commodification also tends to make artists cater to audience will and may suppress their own artistic will in their works.","PeriodicalId":241621,"journal":{"name":"Retorik: Jurnal Ilmu Humaniora","volume":"123 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139132705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, research on the interdisciplinarity itself, particularly from the perspective of philosophy of science, either descriptive or normative, i.e., what and how interdisciplinary has been (and should be) done is still a desideratum. Through database and normative-philosophical analysis, this article shows that most of the interdisciplinary works hitherto carried out are either additive or interpretative/take-over in nature. Such works would be bad scientific practices. Good interdisciplinary works presuppose the existence of interdisciplinary material objects and their formal ones. These normative requirements, however, lead to a dilemma which should be faced by those who work interdisciplinarily.","PeriodicalId":241621,"journal":{"name":"Retorik: Jurnal Ilmu Humaniora","volume":"112 49","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139133148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its increasing prominence in the Indonesian academia was reflected in the theme of the Sanata Dharma Berbagi conference held in October 2023. The title of the fifth edition of the ASLE-ASEAN Ecocritical Conference held in Chiang Rai, Thailand, just a month later, too, was “Posthuman Southeast Asia.” If the conference series had understandably close affinity with broadly posthumanist orientations from its inception, the title of the fifth iteration of the conference perhaps distinguished itself with its constative resonance, that Southeast Asia already is posthuman. The avenues for thought that the posthumanist wave clears, particularly in the Indonesian context wherein it represents advances beyond a myopic culturalism that so often constrains research in the humanities, deserve full intellectual attention from those in the field of cultural studies in the country. However, even though I myself have recently defended certain theoretical projects that are sometimes associated with posthumanism, I still remain hesitant to ride the wave of posthumanism at full speed. For I have also found myself wondering whether the great strides promised by posthumanism risk obfuscating alternative paths forward potentially opened by other lines of thought.","PeriodicalId":241621,"journal":{"name":"Retorik: Jurnal Ilmu Humaniora","volume":" 348","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139136924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study describes the similarities and differences of the Penti rituals practiced in Flores and in West Kalimantan. The Penti ritual is held as a form of gratitude for the Manggarai people to God (Mori Keraeng) and their ancestors for their success abroad.

Concepts used in the analysis of this study are the concepts of crossing and dwelling from Thomas A. Tweed and of liminality and communitas from Victor Turner.
