Psychosufistic Dimensions of Serat Sastra Gendhing: A Hermeneutic Study of Javanese Spiritual Psychology
Serat Sastra Gendhing, a didactic Javanese literary source written by Sultan Agung Hanyakrakusuma, combines Sufi Islamic and indigenous Javanese spiritual thought. This research wishes to expose the psycho-sufistic values found in Serat Sastra Gendhing, and discuss their relation with transpersonal psychology. The research employs a qualitative method with an interpretive-hermeneutic approach through library research on three main manuscript versions. The analysis was conducted thematically on eight macapat poetic forms supported by psychological and Sufi theories. The results show that Serat Sastra Gendhing contains three central psycho-sufistic values: (1) existential awareness through sangkan paraning dumadi, which reflects the origin and purpose of human life; (2) self-control through aja dumeh and eling lan waspada; and (3) cosmic awareness through memayu hayuning bawana, which emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and God. These three values represent the stages of spiritual consciousness development aligned with the concepts of self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence in transpersonal psychology. The study concludes that Serat Sastra Gendhing is a psycho-sufistic work that integratively unites Islamic spirituality, psychology, and Javanese culture.

Deconstructing Phatic Particles in Javanese: A Case Study of the Film Tilik (2018)
This study aims to describe the forms and functions of phatic particles in Javanese as used in the film Tilik (2018), directed by Wahyu Agung Prasetyo. Phatic particles are linguistic elements that function to maintain social relationships and express the attitudes of both speakers and interlocutors. These particles reflect the values of politeness, familiarity, and social harmony as expressed in everyday speech. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach, drawing on Kridalaksana’s (2008) theory of phatic functions and Leech’s (1983) framework of practical functions. Data were obtained from Tilik's (2018) transcript and analyzed based on contextual and pragmatic meanings. The findings reveal seven types of phatic particles used by the characters, namely to/ta, lha ya, lho ya, kok, mbok, and je. Among them, to/ta and lho ya are the most frequently used, functioning to emphasize information and build mutual understanding. The particle kok expresses surprise or mild disagreement, while mbok is used to give advice or polite admonition. The particle je serves as a gentle marker of emphasis and social closeness. Overall, phatic particles play a crucial role in maintaining politeness, strengthening social solidarity, and representing the communicative, respectful, and harmonious character of Javanese society. This study affirms that language is not only a medium for conveying messages but also a vehicle for shaping cultural values and social identity.
Contrastive Analysis of Javanese and Japanese Speech Levels as a Form of Politeness Learning Among the Younger Generation
The purpose of our research is: (1) to provide and add references related to the contrastive levels of speech in Javanese and Japanese, (2) to explain the differences in the levels of speech in Javanese and Japanese, (3) to introduce politeness to the younger generation through the use of good and correct language. The research method we used was a literature study by prioritizing the results of the analysis of a reference as a reference for the writing data from the research we conducted. The results of the study show that: 1) Javanese and Japanese both have levels of speech in their use as daily communication tools as a form and parameter of politeness. 2) Javanese recognizes the level of speech in Javanese which is divided into four language varieties, namely, Ngoko lugu (Nl), Ngoko alus (Na), Krama lugu (Kl) and Krama alus (Ka). The level of speech in Japanese is classified into three parts and is used by considering the age or social strata of the interlocutor, how close or familiar the speaker is with the interlocutor, and paying attention to Uchi and Soto. Keego is divided into three parts, namely, Sonkeego (Sk), Kenjoogo (Kj), Teeneego (Tn). 3) Speech levels are introduced and passed down through examples of everyday life and through learning.
Representation of Poverty in the Novel Krikil Krikil Pasisir by Tamsir AS
Poverty is a complex social phenomenon that affects various aspects of people's lives, including its representation in literary works. This study aims to describe the portrait of poverty in Tamsir AS's novel Krikil-Krikil Pasisir using a sociological approach. This approach views literary works as a reflection of the social structure and dynamics of the society within which they live. This study uses Ian Watt's sociological theory of literature using semiotic reading techniques. Primary data was obtained from the narrative text in the novel, while secondary data came from supporting scientific references. This reading method enters the data analysis stage, and interpreting the data requires an understanding of social and cultural literary codes. The results show that poverty is represented as a structural reality that influences thought patterns, behavior, and relationships between characters. The unequal social relations between coastal communities and certain dominant ethnic groups give rise to resistance and latent conflict. The characters in the novel experience moral dilemmas that demonstrate the complexity of human values within limited situations. Thus, this novel not only conveys individual stories but also speaks to the social crisis of Indonesia's marginalized communities.

Pilkades as A Political Representation of Village Society in the Novel Desa Sajeroning Ombak
Literature and politics are an interesting combination. Not only as entertainment, but literature is also a means of critiquing societal issues. Desa Sajeroning Ombak is one of Sela Istighfari's novels that describes the process of community politics in the village and the conflicts that arise during its implementation. Therefore, this study aims to identify (1) the forms of political conflict during village elections, and (2) the factors causing political conflict during village elections in the novel Desa Sajeroning Ombak. This study employs a mimetic approach and utilizes Ian Watt's literary sociology theory as its theoretical framework. The data collected includes characters, plot, and setting sourced from the novel Desa Sajeroning Ombak by Sela Istighfari. The analysis was conducted using hermeneutic techniques. The findings show that the village head election process in the novel Desa Sajeroning Ombak involves three forms of conflict: (1) conflict between individuals, between Pak Surya and Haidar; (2) conflict between groups, between traditional fishermen and industrial workers; and (3) conflict between the village government and the village community. In addition, the factors causing the conflicts are (1) competition, (2) differences in interests, (3) loss of public trust, and (4) natural disasters. In the implementation of the village head election, the conflicts that arise cause divisions within the community.
Names of Javanese Generation Z and Alpha in Patemon Village, Tengaran Subdistrict, Semarang Regency
A name is an element of identity that is not only personal but also reflects the social, cultural, and historical background of its owner. The Javanese people's practice of giving names to their children undergoes significant changes from one generation to the next. This study aims to determine the pattern of Javanese names, particularly among Generation Z and Alpha in Patemon Village, Tengaran Subdistrict, Semarang Regency. This research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques that include interviews, observation, and literature review. Data analysis for this research was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this study show that the variation in the names of Generation Z and Alpha in Patemon Village, Tengaran Subdistrict, Semarang Regency, still retains full Javanese language elements, amounting to as much as 8% and combining Javanese elements with foreign languages as much as 47%, with the combination of Javanese and Arabic elements dominating as much as 65%, English elements 15%, Latin elements 10%, Spanish / Portuguese 5% and other language elements 5%. Then, those who use foreign language elements in full are 45%, with Arabic elements accounting for 70%, English elements for 20%, Latin elements for 5%, German elements for 3%, and other language elements for 2%. The implication of this study is the need for an in-depth examination of the sustainability of Javanese cultural heritage in terms of personal naming practices.
Tanduk Prayer in a Traditional Event in Sendangcoyo Village, Lasem District, Rembang Regency: An Ethnolinguistic Study

This study uses an ethnolinguistic approach to examine the recitation of tanduk prayers as a verbal expression in the traditional ceremonies of the Sendangcoyo Village community, Lasem Subdistrict, Rembang Regency. The tanduk prayer is a conventional form of speech rich in spiritual, symbolic, and local cultural content. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The primary data consists of the text of the tanduk prayer obtained from local traditional figures, which was then analyzed using an ethnolinguistic approach. The study results indicate that the tanduk prayer has a distinctive linguistic structure, consisting of Javanese krama sentences with a repetitive style. The primary function of this prayer is as a medium for requesting safety and spiritual protection during traditional rituals. Additionally, the tanduk prayer contains local knowledge systems regarding life after death, spiritual hierarchy, and the relationship between humans, nature, and ancestors. Through this tanduk prayer, the community collectively builds awareness of the values of life that have been passed down through generations. Thus, the tanduk prayer is a religious practice and a living archive of the spirituality and cultural identity of the Sendangcoyo community.
Jancuk as an Expressive Speech Act: a Sociolinguistic Study in Non-Javanese Speakers
The word “jancuk” is a form of speech often used in daily conversation, especially in the Arekan dialect spoken in some regions of East Java, such as Surabaya, Malang, and Lumajang. However, in the development of language, this speech is also adapted by non-Javanese speakers with various communication functions, such as in West Java, to be the origin of the Sundanese people, as well as outside the island of Java. This study aims to analyze “jancuk” as an expressive speech act, particularly in the sociolinguistic context of non-Javanese speaking communities. Using a sociopragmatic qualitative approach, this study examines the use of “jancuk” speech in social interactions and how it functions as an expression of emotions, solidarity, and group identity by identifying the instances of “jancuk” use. The results of the study showed that the expression “jancuk” experienced a shift in meaning when used by non-Javanese speakers, with a more flexible application in various communication situations.

Sanggit Lakon Carangan: Semiotic Analysis of Bagong Figures in the Ki Seno Nugroho Puppet Show
Wayang kulit rose and became the prima donna through the play of the character Bagong by Ki Seno Nugroho on social media. This article aims to analyze the role and meaning of Bagong in the play of wayang kulit by Ki Seno Nugroho through a semiotic approach. Ki Seno Nugroho can bring the character of Bagong to life, not only playing a comedic role but also voicing social criticism and the values of people's wisdom. Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method examines data in the form of signs and meanings formed in dialogues, gestures, expressions, and scenes involving Bagong. This method consists of two levels, namely denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (cultural and ideological meaning). The semiotic approach was chosen because of its relevance in unraveling the layers of meaning of a cultural text to reveal deeper cultural and ideological implications as well. The data source was taken from the video documentation of Ki Seno Nugroho's performance on the Dalang Seno YouTube channel with the plays Bagong Ratu and Semar Mbangun Kayangan. The results of the analysis show that (1) Bagong plays a role as a representation of the common people, (2) Bagong serves as a medium of symbolic resistance to social inequality, and (3) Bagong serves as a communicative and entertaining conveyor of local wisdom. This study confirms the position of Punakawan as an important narrative device in the play of Javanese puppetry.

A Comparison of Cognate Dialect Features in Javanese, Sundanese, Cirebon, and Indramayu
This study aims to identify cognates based on form and meaning among Javanese, Sundanese, Cirebon, and Indramayu vocabularies and analyze their dialectal relationships. Using a list of one hundred Swadesh vocabulary items sourced from dictionaries of the four languages, the data were phonetically transcribed and compared to identify shared lexemes. Dialectometric analysis was then applied to quantify lexical distances and classify dialectal relationships. The findings show that the four languages share 28 cognates and exhibit varying degrees of linguistic proximity: Javanese and Cirebon show the closest relationship, while other pairs are classified as distinct dialects. While the study integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches and contributes insights into less-studied dialects such as Cirebon and Indramayu, it is limited by its reliance on secondary data and lack of fieldwork. Future research should incorporate direct elicitation from native speakers, phonological correspondence analysis, the etymological distinction between cognates and loanwords, and sociolinguistic and geographical mapping to deepen the understanding of dialectal variation in Java

Bima Suci and the Modern Human Existential Crisis: A Philosophical Study of Ki Manteb Sudarsono’s Wayang Kulit Performance
Amid the identity crisis of modern humans due to the dominance of digital culture and globalization, the wayang kulit performance of Bima Suci by Ki Manteb Sudarsono presents a sustained philosophical reflection on the meaning of life, an epistemology of praxis, and spiritual transformation. This study aims to analyze the philosophical meaning contained in the play using qualitative methods and a systematic-reflective philosophical approach. Primary data derive from a video documentation of Ki Manteb’s performance on the Donkgedank YouTube channel (2018), supplemented by Javanese philosophical literature and relevant scholarship. The findings demonstrate that this performance highlights the teachings of Sangkan Paraning Dumadi (the origin and ultimate purpose of existence), an epistemology of praxis (knowledge gained through lived experience), and Bratasena’s transformation into a spiritually mature self. This philosophical message is particularly relevant for modern humans facing existential alienation in the digital era, suggesting that wayang kulit serves not merely as a spectacle but as a contemplative medium for rediscovering an authentic sense of self.

Criminal Hegemony in the Novel Lodan saka Segara Kidul by Kukuh S. Wibowo: Gramsci's Perspective
The connection between thuggery and power gives rise to a new face of politics laden with criminal hegemony. This concept is vividly depicted in the Javanese novel Lodan saka Segara Kidul (LSSK) by Kukuh S. Wibowo. Through a mystery-driven narrative, the novel exposes the transformation of Rahsana, a criminal gang leader, who changes his name to Hendarsa Prabancana and reinvents himself as a politician using slick yet effective hegemonic strategies. This research aims to reveal the representation of criminal hegemony in LSSK by Kukuh S. Wibowo through the lens of Gramsci’s theory, supported by other theories such as the normalization of crime, political oligarchy, self-image management, and more. The study employs a descriptive-qualitative method, emphasizing content analysis and literature review to examine novel narratives. This approach aims to identify forms of criminal hegemony, strategies for transitioning from crime to politics, and their societal impact. The findings demonstrate that Rahsana/Hendarsa utilizes wealth acquired through crime, money politics, and public image-building to gain legitimacy and maintain power. Hegemony does not manifest solely through physical domination but also through ideology that infiltrates social structures. These findings reflect how criminal practices can adapt within democratic systems and become part of legitimate political frameworks. This research contributes to enriching the study of Indonesian crime fiction while opening a critical discourse on the relationship between crime, politics, and the legitimization of power.

The Desire to Become a Chosen Woman in Sěrāt Mějang Dhatěng Garwa R.P. 366.45
Sufism as a divine teaching is present in various Javanese literary works, one of which is Serat Mejang Dhateng Garwa R.P. 366.45, a macapat text that is part of the serat piwulang, containing the advice of a father to his daughter. Despite its didactic nature, this text is rich in Sufi values that guide women as active subjects toward the perfection of life and closeness to the Divine. This process of inner education aligns with the concept of suluk or the spiritual journey toward God, giving the text a spiritual didactic dimension. This study aims to understand how the father's advice to his daughter is conveyed, the strategies used, and how women are positioned as chosen figures. The research method used is qualitative with a Lacanian psychoanalytic approach to gender. The results show that in the text, the song serves as a medium for conveying messages; women are positioned as subjects who recognize their shortcomings to fulfill their spiritual needs. The title represents the symbolic relationship between the prologue (husband) and the content (wife). At the same time, the daughter as a subject relates directly to the mother and indirectly to the father. This text represents Sufi values and gender awareness within the aesthetics of macapat.

Perbandingan Dialek Bahasa Jawa Pemalangan Desa Wanarejan Utara dan Desa Randudongkal Kabupaten Pemalang: Kajian Linguistik Kontrastif
This study compares the phonology and lexicon of the Pemalang Javanese dialect as spoken by the communities in Wanarajen Utara and Randudongkal villages, located in Pemalang Regency, Central Java. Phonological and lexical analyses are employed to investigate the linguistic variations within the Pemalang Javanese dialect. Data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, and note-taking methods. The results are presented using a qualitative descriptive approach, providing accurate and factual descriptions through narrative explanations based on real-life observations in the research. In identifying the dialectal differences between the two villages, contrastive linguistics and geolinguistics methods were applied. The findings reveal several phonological and lexical differences influenced by factors such as topography, social interaction, and migration. For instance, the word for [tree] in Randudongkal is [wit] with the vowel /i/, while in Wanarajen Utara, it is pronounced as [wet] with the vowel /e/. Lexically, the word for [pants] differs between the two regions: Wanarajen Utara uses [suwal], whereas Randudongkal uses [katok]. This study provides insights into the dialectal variation within the Javanese language in Pemalang Regency and may serve as a reference for further studies on Javanese dialectology.

Dominasi dan Hegemoni dalam Cerkak Nglari Nakagawa Karya Suparto Brata
Colonization in Indonesia has been going on for centuries. One of the cruelest forms of domination was that of the Japanese in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia's name at the time). Over time, Japan became a nightmare that haunted society. This domination goes hand in hand with hegemony as a strengthening of power. This is reflected in a literary work, namely the cerkak entitled Nglari Nakagawa by Suparto Brata. From this discussion, it is hoped that Japanese domination and hegemony can be known and that Nglari Nakagawa can be proven as postcolonial literature. To dissect the story, Gramsci's theory of hegemony is used, supported by other theories, such as orientalism, mimicry, subaltern, and others. The analysis results show that the domination and hegemony carried out by the Japanese caused side effects in the form of mimicry, othering, and subaltern performed by the natives by taking the example of the colonizers. Related to the Japanese rule, the hegemony that prevails in society cannot be concluded equally, but it varies among individuals due to differences in colonization experiences. Looking at the content of Nglari Nakagawa's cerkak, it can be classified as a postcolonial work, one of which is shown by Nakagawa's anomalous existence trying to defy the dominant stereotypes in society.

Metaphysics of Wayang Tauhid Play 'Wedhare Sadat Tembayat' Presented by Ki Sunardi Wirocarito
Wayang has a closeness to the behavior and mindset of Javanese people. It is believed that there is a broad and deep philosophical thought system. The wayang performance, character, or nature of the wayang figures conveys the intellectual values ​​of life. Each character comes from a reflection or representation of humans' attitude, character, and nature. Wayang Tauhid, the play Wedhare Sadat Tembayat, which is full of the delivery of philosophical values, is the object of this research. Based on the material object's characteristics, the study focuses on the metaphysical approach. How can humans reveal reality's most profound meaning through metaphysical studies and explanations. The purpose of this study and explanation is to open the way for humans to gain knowledge of the actual reality, namely the existence of Allah. This study is included in qualitative research in the realm of library research. Because the material object is philosophy, this study uses the hermeneutic philosophical method. The hermeneutic philosophical method provides a comprehensive and in-depth approach to studying philosophy. From a metaphysical perspective, the study's results indicate that the WST play has an existential orientation, suggesting that humans have material, emotional, and spiritual limitations. The WST play teaches humans to live based on the oneness of Allah, the True Being. Everything in the world is an event, as a being that does not exist, is only created by Allah, the True Being. This reminds humans that life in the world is only temporary and has limits, so life should not chase worldly things too much, but carry out human obligations to get closer to Allah through faithful prayer. This statement shows that the metaphysics of the WST play is monistic and spiritual.
