Abstract
The tradition of nyumbang has long functioned as a social safety net within Javanese society. However, modernity has transformed the essence of nyumbang, a shift clearly portrayed in the film Nyumbang. This study investigates how the film captures the evolving discourse of nyumbang and its changing meaning over time. By employing Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA), the research examines into how the film utilises discourse as a tool for both knowledge and power, thereby revealing underlying shifts in societal dynamics. This approach uniquely uncovers the interplay between power structures and cultural practices, aspects that might be overlooked by other methodologies. The analysis identifies both dominant and counter-discourses, particularly through the narratives and dialogues of the characters. Notably, characters from lower social strata challenge traditional nyumbang practice, signalling the emergence of counter-discourse. The dominant discourse portrays nyumbang as a social obligation enforced by prevailing cultural norms, while the counter-discourse advocates for a reevaluation of this practice in light of modern societal values. The study concludes that the film Nyumbang effectively addresses the complexities of maintaining tradition amidst the significant societal changes brought on by modernity, including the tensions between traditional expectations and the reality of economic reciprocity.
Bahasa Abstract
Tradisi nyumbang telah lama berfungsi sebagai jaring pengaman sosial dalam masyarakat Jawa. Namun, modernitas telah mengubah esensi nyumbang, perubahan ini tergambar jelas dalam film Nyumbang. Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana film tersebut menangkap wacana yang berkembang mengenai nyumbang dan pergeseran maknanya dari waktu ke waktu. Dengan menggunakan Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA), penelitian ini mendalami bagaimana film tersebut memanfaatkan wacana sebagai alat pengetahuan dan kekuasaan, sehingga mengungkap perubahan mendasar dalam dinamika sosial. Pendekatan ini secara unik mengungkap keterkaitan antara struktur kekuasaan dan praktik budaya, yang mungkin terlewatkan oleh metodologi lain. Analisis ini mengidentifikasi baik wacana dominan maupun wacana tandingan, khususnya melalui narasi dan dialog para karakter. Menariknya, karakter dari strata sosial bawah menantang praktik nyumbang tradisional, yang menandakan kemunculan kontra-wacana. Wacana dominan menggambarkan nyumbang sebagai kewajiban sosial yang ditegakkan oleh norma budaya yang berlaku, sementara kontra-wacana menganjurkan peninjauan kembali praktik ini dalam konteks nilai-nilai masyarakat modern. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa film Nyumbang secara efektif mengangkat kompleksitas dalam mempertahankan tradisi di tengah perubahan sosial signifikan yang dibawa oleh modernitas, termasuk ketegangan antara ekspektasi tradisional dan realitas timbal balik ekonomi.
