Get PDFThis paper presents the results of research on the Betawi Christian community in Kampung Sawah, Kota Bekasi. Based on interviews and literature study, this paper aims to analyze the dynamics of the identity of the people of Kampung Sawah and the acceptance of the Betawi Muslims towards them. The results of this study found that the Betawi identity continues to develop alongside the development of the residential area of this ethnic community and the flow of migration. The widespread motivation of scholars regarding the origins of the emergence of this ethnic group shows that this ethnic group is difficult to define as a result of the wide interaction between ethnic members and other ethnic groups. Because the identity of the Betawi is something that is fluid, the Betawi Christian of Kampung Sawah community can also be referred to as a part of the Betawi community. They shared Betawi identity and culture with other members of Betawi community as general.Tulisan ini menyajikan hasil penelitian mengenai masyarakat Betawi pemeluk agama Kristiani di Kampung Sawah, Kota Bekasi..

Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa identitas Betawi adalah identitas yang terus berkembang seiring berkembangnya wilayah hunian komunitas etnik ini meningkatnya arus migrasi. Maraknya perdebatan para sarjana mengenai asal-usul kemunculan etnik ini menunjukkan bahwa etnik ini sulit didefinisikan sebagai akibat luasnya interaksi di antara anggota etnik dengan etnik lain.

Mereka berbagi identitas dan unsur kebudayaan Betawi dengan anggota komunitas Betawi pada umumnya

Young Offender Resistance Towards State hegemonic Practices: Case Study of “LPKA Belantaraâ€
Get PDFThe purpose of this article is to describe the resistance of young offenders toward hegemonic practices of the State. Following qualitative research practices with a descriptive design, this article employs the concept of habitus to analyze the nexus of actor and agency within the field of Belantara Young Offender Institution and the processes formed from resistance within the space. The findings show that young offenders attempt to resist the State’s control as they thwart the goals and values of the dominant power. The resistance of young offenders within Belantara Young Offender Institution consists of control of space, shaping discourse, rule-breaking, open defiance, conformity, and foot-dragging. Due to the imbalance of power between young offenders as a subaltern group and the staff at Belantara Young Offender Institution as the dominant group, the young offenders resist primarily through the hidden transcript. The data show a cycle of hegemony and resistance maintained by both groups which form a set of resistance. The research suggests the State reassess whether young offender institutions are the best place for young offenders as the cycle of hegemony and resistance creates a setting that cannot adequately rehabilitate
Dynamics of Balancing Social Welfare and Economic Benefit in Akzonobel’s CSR Governance in Indonesia
Get PDFCorporate Social Responsibility has grown as an issue in corporate governance in recent years. By having such programs, a private company might seem as having a social responsibility towards its social surroundings. In October 2020, no less than 19.056 studies had been conducted on this subject in various contexts. Even though plenty of research was conducted in the area, there is still limited understanding of how CSR helps a Multinational Company (MNC) during a crisis. This study will analyze the role of private companies (as the example is AkzoNobel) in providing for public needs while gaining economic benefit simultaneously. This study will use a qualitative descriptive method, with document analysis as a data collection technique. For analyzing the data this study will use Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s approach to data reduction and display. The result indicates that a comprehensive CSR program combined with strong corporate culture helps an MNC in surviving its operation despite being in the middle of domestic challenges. This research may serve as a checkpoint for further study on CSR in society as one of the social-cultural issues
