Revitalization of the traditional values lost due to the commodification of art/crafts: a case study of Bataknese traditional Ulos / Ridwan, Muhammad; Zulkifli   Journal Article
Ridwan, Muhammad Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The dynamics of modernization in Bataknese community, supported by various factors, led to the desacralization of traditions. This desacralization is due to the commodification of its cultural elements, among them the crafts of ulos. The existence of traditional ulos relates to religious life and is a manifestation of the Bataknese theology. The existence of Bataknese culture is strongly supported by the existence of ulos, which is the actualization of the ‘dalihan na tolu’ kinship system. Traditionally, the use of ulos in the community is governed by custom, according to the type, form, function and meaning. However, the commodification of ulos has caused inconsistencies in its development, so it is feared that this would obscure the values of tradition, which should be preserved. This paper discusses the revitalization efforts that can be conducted by the stakeholders of the craft of ulos: community, business, and government.

Socio-cultural change influences the changes of Simalungun religion / Saragih, Hisarma; Ridwan, Muhammad ; Adisaputera, Abdurahman   Journal Article
Ridwan, Muhammad Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This study analyzes the historical phenomena of zending in Batak tribe community. It focuses on the transition of Christianity among the Simalungun people, by using the primary and secondary sources tracked from various library locations, church archives, national archives in Jakarta, and private collections. The theme is categorized into cultural history, with source search (heuristic), source criticism, formulation of facts (aufassung), and presentation of new thoughts (darstellung), all narrated as historical stories. Other secondary sources came from a number of books, articles, and magazines, published in various eras. The cause of mass conversion among the Simalungun people is apparently related to the feudal structure of their society. The zendelings used both the community structure approach and customary approach. Consequently, the development of RMG zending activities in the Simalungun community, besides causing religious conversion from the Sipajuh Begu-begu tribe religion to Christianity, also gave rise to structural changes in the community.
