It is argued in this paper that Indonesian society is no longer a plural society in the sense that Furnivall defined in 1950s. Using Blum’s definition of multiculturalism, the author says that Indonesian society is not yet a multicultural society either, although its national motto is “unity in diversity”. Some facts are given for this. It is proposed that to improve the process of creating a multicultural society, certain strategies need to be employed in some fields, such as: education; promotion; and social media.","PeriodicalId":34059,"journal":{"name":"Volga Region Farmland","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75910109","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 uplanders of Tengger around the Bromo Mountains and Semeru in East Java reflect the image of a traditional and isolated peasant community. This research argues that uplanders like the Tengger people are open to the outside world, especially in the economic sector where they are highly responsive to agricultural commodities, following the movement of the existing market. Accordingly, this study wants to probe how the relationship between the livelihoods of the agrarian sector and tourism in Tengger has undergone. Our studies have shown that Tengger can diversify agricultural activities into a non-farming economy, in our case is the tourism. Moreover, population growth and land-hungry monoculture farming also have contributed to ecological crisis problems. This research aims to contribute and provide a new understanding of the Tengger community in today's situation, as well as increase the socio-cultural study of highland communities in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":34059,"journal":{"name":"Volga Region Farmland","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84480025","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}

Debatable benefit of the emergent hegemonies view of disability as part of cultural diversity has increasingly discussed. This view has positively replaced the old schools (medical model, charity model and so forth) from seeing disability as impairment and oppression to seeing disability as one of cultural range (which is technically termed as cultural sub-variant or micro-cultural group).

Tirta Amerta Sari ritual is held by the Sumberawan community as a form of gratitude as well as praying together with the local community (slametan) . This form of gratitude is carried out on the basis of the abundance of water from water sources by bringing the produce to the area (outside) of the temple which ends with a meal together. Meanwhile, the slametan is carried out with the mythological tracing ritual of Tirta Amerta Sari which was fought over by the gods and giants. The ritual is divided into three parts, namely community service, istighosah and sending prayers, and is closed with a procession of Tirta Amerta Sari .

The aim of this study is to uncover the causes and the strategies to resolve cross cultural conflict depicted in a film by Maghreb filmmaker Roschidy Zem's (2006) 'Mauvaise foi'. This film portrays the cross-cultural conflict between the extended family of a young couple with different cultural and religious backgrounds, Clara and Ismael. This study uses a qualitative method to describe the causes of cross-cultural conflict, namely ethnocentrism, stereotypes and misinterpretation as proposed by Pujiyanti and Zuliani [1], as well as the use of the four strategies of competition, accommodation, avoidance and collaboration proposed by Miall [2] to resolve conflicts between cultures. As result of the analysis, it is concluded that the cause of the cross-cultural conflicts in the film includes 3 elements that have been mentioned above. Following the conflicts, the disputing parties also try to make various strategies to resolve conflicts between individuals with different cultural and religious backgrounds and to create reconciliations. Competition strategy have failed to resolve the conflict, avoidance and accommodation strategy have succeeded in reducing the conflict, and collaboration strategy has succeeded in ending the cross-cultural conflicts peacefully.","PeriodicalId":34059,"journal":{"name":"Volga Region Farmland","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89745483","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 paper investigates the challenges that the spread of the Covid-19 crisis has posed on the everyday practice of established religions and the responses that have been formulated therein. As a privileged site for the inquiry into notions of multinaturalism, religion has long been regarded as the domain par excellence in which ontological claims are made explicit and embodied, while at the same time articulating hunches about “ultimate things”. By scanning through several ethnographic examples from different religious fields, I re-cast religious experience in the spotlight of the manner in which many communities understand and cope with a sanitary and social form of distress and how it relates to dynamics of both inclusivity and exclusivity in the wider society.","PeriodicalId":34059,"journal":{"name":"Volga Region Farmland","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88279188","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}
