Makna Simbolik Lompat Batu Nias dalam Perspektif Sastra dan Budaya: Kajian Semiotik Roland Barthes
type: item
description: This article examined the symbolic meaning of the Nias Stone Jump (Fahombo Batu) within the framework of literary and cultural studies, using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory (1964) as the main analytical approach. The research problem arises from the phenomenon that the traditional practice of jumping over stone walls in Nias, originally rooted in rituals of maturity, bravery, and social identity, has undergone a shift in meaning due to modernization and tourism commercialization. The study seeks to uncover how these transformations affect the symbolic and narrative layers of the tradition when interpreted as a cultural text. Employing a qualitative descriptive method through semiotic analysis, the research identifies and interprets the denotative, connotative, and mythic levels of meaning embedded in the tradition. Primary data were obtained from field documentation, interviews, and literary sources depicting the cultural practice, while secondary data were gathered from previous studies on Nias cultural symbols. The analysis revealed that the stone jump, at the denotative level, signifies physical prowess and initiation into adulthood; at the connotative level, it represents courage, social recognition, and masculine pride; and at the mythic level, it embodies the collective identity and resilience of the Nias people amid cultural transformation. The study concludes that, through Barthes’ semiotic lens, Fahombo Batu functions as a living text where traditional values continuously interact with modern interpretations, reflecting the dynamic relationship between heritage, meaning, and contemporary cultural expression.

Tradisi Lisan Pada Pernikahan Adat Masyarakat Melayu Deli di Deli Serdang Sumatera Utara
type: item
description: This study examines the role of pantun as an oral tradition in Deli Malay wedding ceremonies, focusing on the values ​​contained within it and efforts to revitalize the tradition. This analysis examines the formula in Deli Malay wedding pantun based on Albert Lord's theory of oral tradition. The research method used is a qualitative approach, involving interviews, observation, and documentation to explore the meaning and function of pantun in a social and cultural context. The results show that wedding pantun contains the values ​​of faith, honesty, responsibility, and cooperation, which function as a means of conveying moral and ethical messages. In addition, this oral tradition plays an important role in strengthening social ties between families and communities. However, the study also found a degradation of the meaning of pantun due to modernization and a lack of understanding of cultural values ​​among the younger generation. Therefore, revitalization efforts through education, training, and the use of digital media are essential to maintain the sustainability of the pantun tradition. This research is expected to contribute to the preservation of Deli Malay culture and increase public awareness of the importance of oral traditions.

Budaya Patriarki dalam Suku Batak Toba Terhadap Hak dan Kedudukan, Tradisi, Peran Gender, dan Perubahan Sosial
type: item
description: The patriarchal culture within the Batak Toba society has a significant influence on women’s rights and status, gender roles, and social change. The patrilineal system adopted by the Batak Toba community positions men as the primary heirs within the family and customary structures, while women hold more limited roles in inheritance and decision-making. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze how patriarchal culture persists and how modernization and awareness of gender equality affect social dynamics in Batak Toba society. Using Beauvoir’s feminist theory (1949) and the theory of social construction of gender (Sibarani, 2020), the study finds that although patriarchal norms remain strong, there has been a shift in women’s access to education, employment, and public roles. Women are increasingly involved in family decision-making and have begun to gain inheritance rights, although still in smaller portions compared to men. These findings indicate that the customs and culture of the Batak Toba society are dynamic and evolving in line with the changing times and the growing awareness of gender equality. This transformation reflects a shift in the social structure and cultural values of the Batak Toba people toward a more equitable and gender-just society.

Nilai Kultural dalam Tortor Ija Juma Tidahan Sebagai Bentuk Repitalisasi Budaya Simalungun Yang Hampir Pudar
type: item
description: Tortor Ija Juma Tidahan is a traditional Simalungun dance rich in cultural values and philosophical meanings. Over time, the existence of this dance has begun to fade amidst the current of modernization. This study aims to analyze the cultural values in Tortor Ija Juma Tidahan as a form of revitalization of the almost faded Simalungun culture, using Peirce's semiotic approach (1931). In this analysis, dance elements such as movements, music, clothing, and visual symbols are categorized into icons, indices, and symbols. The results show that dance movements function as indices that reflect the close relationship of the Simalungun people with nature and farming activities, while music and clothing act as icons and symbols that represent cultural identity and spiritual values. Although this dance has experienced a shift in function from sacred rituals to entertainment, its cultural meaning still persists. This study concludes that the revitalization of Tortor Ija Juma Tidahan can be done through adaptation to modern media, cultural education among the younger generation, and integration into traditional activities and cultural festivals as an effort to maintain the existence and meaning of this dance in the era of globalization.

Denotasi Mitos Pernikahan Semarga Pada Adat Mandailing di Wilayah Tapanuli Selatan
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze cultural values, customs, especially regarding the Denotation of the Myth of Marriage of the Same Clan in Mandailing Customs in the South Tapanuli Region. So that the wider community can better understand and comprehend the customary law of the Batak Mandailing. This research theory uses the Ethnography theory by Bronislaw Malinowski. The Ethnography approach seeks to provide an understanding that departs from an understanding of the culture of the community that is to be understood. The form of the results of the ethnographic research report is so distinctive, that the term ethnography is also used to refer to the research method to produce the report. This research method uses a qualitative method. This study collected data through interviews. The results of the study show that the Batak Mandailing Customary community has customary rules that prohibit marriage of the same clan based on the belief that marriage of the same clan can bring curses and bad luck to the family. However, over time this prohibition has begun to fade and is even ignored by some people. The myth of marriage of the same clan in the Mandailing custom in the South Tapanuli region is quite strong. Local people believe that marriage between people who have the same clan can bring bad luck, illness, and even death to their families, but this myth has not been scientifically proven. This myth is believed to be a form of respect for ancestors and maintaining good relations between families in one clan. This study also found that the myth of marriage within the same clan is still believed by some Batak Mandailing people.

Cultural Transformation and Values of the Puputan Bayi Tradition in Medan: An Anthropological Approach
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the cultural transformation and values in the puputan bayi tradition in Medan using an anthropological approach. Applying Giddens’ (2013) theory of social change, the research focuses on how this tradition adapts and evolves alongside social and cultural developments influenced by modernity and globalization. This study employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The informants consist of traditional leaders, families who practice the tradition, and local community members directly involved in the puputan bayi ceremony.

The study also reveals that the people of Medan, particularly those of Javanese and Batak ethnicity, demonstrate openness to integrating modern values into their traditional practices. This cultural transformation reflects a process of acculturation and integration between local and global values, shaping a new social identity within urban communities.

type: item
description: This research aims to analyze the social and spiritual meanings in the Cabur Bulung tradition of the Karo Ethnicity, as well as to understand its role and function in the context of the social and spiritual life of the Karo community. Based on Geertz's (1973) cultural theory, which suggests the importance of symbols and meanings in the interpretation of a community's social life, this research adopts an anthropological approach with qualitative methods. Techniques used include observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies to explore the meaning dimensions of the Cabur Bulung tradition. The results show that the Cabur Bulung tradition has two main dimensions, namely social and spiritual. Socially, this tradition functions as a means to strengthen relationships between community members, strengthen Karo ethnic identity, and demonstrate the value of solidarity and togetherness in social life. On the other hand, the spiritual dimension of this tradition reveals the Karo people's efforts to communicate with the spirits of ancestors, ask for healing blessings, and maintain balance with the universe. The symbols contained in the Cabur Bulung procession contain deep social and religious values, describing human relationships with the spiritual world and nature. This research provides an understanding of the Cabur Bulung tradition as an inseparable part of Karo ethnic culture, and reveals its role in shaping social structures, cultural identity and practices. he spirituality of the Karo people. Thus, this tradition is not only a ritual, but also a reflection of life that involves harmonious social and spiritual relationships between humans, communities and the spirit world.

The Evolution of Fahombo: Analyzing Its Changing Significance in the Context of Cultural Dynamics and Modernization
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the shift in the meaning of Fahombo in the dynamics of culture and modernization using the theory of diffusion of innovation from Everett Rogers (1962). This theory highlights how changes in Nias culture occur through the process of innovation, communication, time, and social systems. In this context, Fahombo is not only maintained as a cultural heritage, but also experiences adaptation due to the influence of modernization and globalization. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a virtual interview method via the Zoom application to explore in depth the information needed. The informants involved consisted of parents who had experienced or witnessed Fahombo in a traditional context, community leaders who had a deep understanding of the history and changes in the tradition, and local residents who witnessed firsthand the transformation of Fahombo in recent decades. The results of the study show that the shift in the meaning of Fahombo occurs through five stages of innovation adoption according to Rogers, namely: awareness, interest, evaluation, experimentation, and acceptance. Traditional values are maintained, but reinterpretation occurs in the context of tourism, cultural identity, and social expression. This transformation reflects the process of social and selective adaptation in which local and global elements interact to form a new understanding of Fahombo in contemporary Nias society. This study provides insights into how traditions can survive and thrive in changing social systems.

type: item
description: In the Batak Mandailing language, there are various interesting figurative words that have many meanings. One of them is Dalihan Na Tolu which has 3 axes, namely kahanggi, anak boru, and mora. Which has a very interesting meaning in each of the three kinship systems. However, the current generation does not understand the three that can be called partuturan. In fact, this creates a bond of friendship that binds the unity of brotherhood. Lack of implementing it can make you care less about each other. This study focuses on the spoken language called umpasa in the Batak Mandailing tradition. And using qualitative methods, by observing, analyzing, and interpreting for example partuturan. Rolland Barthes' semiotic theory is used to study Dalihan na Tolu's true meaning in the umpasa. The umpasa is included in the Batak Mandailing language which is known to have deep meaning. The meaning of words can be one of the most interesting ways.

The Impact of Urbanization on the Preservation of Traditional Customs by the Nias Young Generation
type: item
description: Urbanization brings significant changes to people's lives, including the preservation of traditional customs by the Nias younger generation. The migration of people to cities often leads to a decline in young people's involvement in traditional cultural practices. Factors such as lifestyle changes, access to technology, and economic and educational demands in urban areas influence their interest in cultural heritage. On one hand, urbanization provides opportunities to introduce Nias culture to a broader audience through digital media and diaspora communities. On the other hand, without strong preservation efforts, there is a risk that traditional customs will become increasingly marginalized. Therefore, effective strategies are needed to balance modernization with cultural preservation so that younger generations remain connected to Nias traditions.

Astronomy and the Wari-Wari Traditions of the Karo Tribe: Determining Good and Bad Days
type: item
description: The Wari-Wari tradition of the Karo tribe is a calendar system used to determine good and bad days in various aspects of life. However, knowledge of this system is starting to fade due to modernization and lifestyle changes. This research aims to examine the relationship between astronomy and Wari-Wari and identify the factors that led to its decline. Rahmadi's (2022) relevant dating system theory was used to examine the relationship and tradition of the karo tribe's wari-wari: the determination of good and bad days. A qualitative approach was used with natural observation methods and centered interviews in Suka Sipilihen Village, Tiga Panah Sub-district, Karo Regency. The results showed that Wari- Wari has an astronomical basis related to the movement of the moon and sun, but its understanding is diminishing due to the lack of cultural inheritance and written documentation. Modernization and shifting cultural values have also accelerated its extinction. This study emphasizes the importance of preserving the WariWari tradition through education and documentation to remain sustainable in the midst of changing times.

Gender Roles in the Practice of Paulakhon within the Batak Toba Patrilineal System
type: item
description: The Batak Toba patrilineal system in North Sumatra still maintains the practice of paulakhon (returning) or the term traditional divorce lawsuit, where women as wives are considered to have failed to provide sons to continue the clan for the family and fail to be good housewives will be returned to the woman's family. This research aims to analyze women's inequality in the Batak Toba patrilineal system with the practice of paulakhon (returning). According to Connel (1987) explains that gender relations are not only shaped by individuals, but are shaped by broader social structures, including the concept of hegemonic masculinity which maintains male dominance which shows that gender norms are controlled by the patriarchal system. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and data analysis. The results showed that paulakhon places women in a subordinate position and limits their rights. However, social change is starting to provide space for women to gain more equal rights in the family and society.

type: item
description: The 1966 New Poet Generation was an important milestone in the development of Indonesian literature, which was born amidst the political, social and cultural upheaval after the events of 1965.
