A critical look at the masks of different characters of Girish Karnad’s play Hayavadana (1971) shows that they serve two significant purposes; of both hiding and supporting the truth, which in itself is a relative phenomenon. I, here, focus on the objectives, techniques and types of mask usage in terms of disguise and revelation at the physical, emotional and psychological levels. The paper further highlights the power that the characters enjoy over other characters by using specific masks. By highlighting the theme of incompleteness in the play, the playwright seems to question Hindu religious and traditional values. The veiled wants of the characters are also shown to the readers in this article through a variety of subtle techniques. Qualitative approach has been adopted as methodology where the interpretive method of inquiry has been employed to explore the hidden meanings within the text.

AbstrakKarya tulis yang merupakan resume hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan gambaran mendalam mengenai eksistensi keraton di tengah peradaban masa kini dengan fokus telaah pada persepsi masyarakat terhadap keraton. Penelitian berangkat dari anggapan bahwa keraton semakin menempati posisi marginal belakangan ini. Hal tersebut antara lain disebabkan oleh perubahan sikap dan pandangan masyarakat terhadap keraton akibat derasnya arus kebudayaan dunia dan lingkungan global. Keraton kini hanya dianggap sebagai pusat kebudayaan bagi masyarakat setempat, bukan lagi merupakan sebuah wilayah kekuasaan politik yang independen. Meskipun demikian, masyarakat masih mengenangnya sebagai salah satu lumbung budaya daerah yang potensial. Untuk mengupas permasalahan tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Adapun teknik pengumpulan datanya adalah studi literatur, observasi dan wawancara. Setelah dikaji, penulis mencoba merumuskan beberapa usulan kebijakan mengenai langkah-langkah revitalisasi keraton dalam mengantisipasi era globalisasi, yaitu mewujudkan dan memantapkan identitas kepribadian bangsa yang dikemas dengan model masa kini tanpa harus tercerabut dari akarnya. AbstractThe paper is a resumé of a research concerning depth description of the existence of keraton (karatuan = royal palace) in the middle of modern society focusing on the peoples’s perception on keraton. Today people think keraton merely a cultural centre for local people, not as a domain of an independently political power. Changes in world culture and global environment might be responsible for this point of view.To analyse the problem the author conducted a descriptive research method with qualitative approach. Data were collected from bibliographical study, observation, dan interviews. Some suggestions are proposed, such as the policies that should be taken by keraton in anticipating globalization. Revitalization should be made possible in maintaining the recent national identity without having to abandon old traditional values.

The dualism of tax consultant's role as the agent of taxpayers and governments becomes a phenomenon in this research. Therefore, this research aims to understand the meaning of the dualism role of tax consultants in the taxation system. This study uses a qualitative approach to interpretive methods. The interpretive method assumes that reality does not stand alone but is constructed by the research subject. The method of data collection is done by interviewing two taxpayers and three tax consultants. The data analysis focused on the sentences and phrases that directly allude the researched phenomenon. The result of the research tells that there is an effort to balance the dualism of the role so that tax consultants can still protect the taxpayer’s interests, while ensuring that their services do not harm the nation. The balance of the dualism of the role is reflected into four meanings, namely: taxpayer advisors, mediators of taxpayer and government conflicts, aligning taxpayer and government relations and controlling taxpayer compliance

This article describes the dynamics of the indigenous people of Cireundeu in Cimahi with their specific systems in responding to the current modernization and Islamic da’wa activities. Using a qualitative approach, this article argues that the encounter of their traditions with modernization and Islamic da’wa activities which are new traditions, has made indigenous peoples syncretize through parochalization and universalization. Parochialization is carried out by adjusting outside traditional values through their symbols, while universalization is carried out by promoting their local values or practices such as food security into a broader norm. However, interactions with various other traditions have shown continuity in customary preservation and at the same time have shown discontinuity in symbolic matters, their norms, and practices as indigenous people.Artikel ini menguraikan tentang dinamika masyarakat adat Cireundeu di Cimahi dengan berbagai sistem spesifik yang dimilikinya dalam merespon arus modernisasi dan aktivitas dakwah Islam. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, artikel ini berargumen bahwa perjumpaan tradisi mereka dengan modernisasi dan aktivitas dakwah Islam yang merupakan tradisi-tradisi baru telah membuat masyarakat adat melakukan sinkretitasi melalui parokialisasi dan universalisasi. Parokialisasi dilakukan dengan penyesuaian nilai-nilai tradisi luar melalui simbol-simbol mereka dan universalisasi dilakukan dengan mempromosikan nilai-nilai atau praktik-praktik lokal mereka seperti ketahanan pangan menjadi norma yang lebih luas. Namun demikian, interaksi dengan berbagai tradisi lain ini telah memperlihatkan kontinuitas dalam dalam pelestarian adat dan pada saat yang sama telah pula mempelihatkan gejala diskontinuitas pada hal-hal yang bersifat simbolik, norma dan praktik mereka sebagai masyarakat adat.

The culture that is found in some indigenous peoples in Indonesia contains a lot of national cultural values which are still strong. But culture in the form of local wisdom values is often ignored, because it is not considered in accordance with the times. In fact, local wisdom can be used as a model in the development of Indonesian culture and organization values learning. In this context that research is carried out to see how indigenous peoples as minority groups internalize their cultural values into cohesive values and reflect in strong character. Indigenous peoples who are in Kampung Pulo, Desa Cangkuang, Kecamatan Leles, Kabupaten Garut, West Java Province, are indigenous groups who continue to internalize and preserve traditional values into the character of their citizens. This type of research uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic types, namely research conducted in a particular indigenous community environment.

Through the integration of the local Yakshagana and the western Brechtian Epic theatre practices, Girish Karnad through Hayavadana (1971) has formed a brilliant theatre show. One theatrical device, apart from the folk-theatre motifs, is the utilization of physical masks on stage. The reading examines different techniques used by Karnad, which provide the staging of masks successful in theatre. It furthermore focuses on the objectives, techniques, and types of mask treatment in expressions of disguise and revelation at the physical level. The purpose of this exploration is to make a complete study of the expressive masks used in Hayavadana (1971) to interpret the proposed reality of the characters. The qualitative approach has been adopted as a methodology where the interpretive method of investigation has been engaged to search for the secreted meanings in the text. Professed through the lens of select theoretical structure, Hayavadana becomes a site of diversity and range.

This study examines the charismatic leadership style at the Pondok Pesantren Nurul Huda Kamundung Omben Sampang. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of field research. Sources of data were obtained using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that: first, the application of a charismatic leadership style in maintaining traditional pesantren traditional values ​​still maintains the salaf Islamic boarding school which still maintains the teachings of previous scholars whose teaching uses the yellow book using the sorogan and wetonan teaching methods. And its management does not ask for funds from the government but asks for donations from students, asking for donations from the community to meet the needs of Islamic boarding schools. Second, the way to maintain traditional values ​​in charismatic leadership in Islamic boarding schools is by maintaining the traditions of salaf Islamic boarding schools, meaning that the salaf is still following the teachings of the scholars, namely reciting the yellow book, praying in congregation, learning to read the Qur'an, khidmah, and seek the approval of the teacher, and the method used is deliberation.
