The Patronage in Javanese Dance Performance Culture in Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk by Ahmad Tohari

Patron-klien relationships exist in many sectors of society. However, few studies have investigated their role in performative Javanese dance culture. This study aims to explore the representation of a patron-client relationship in the context of traditional Javanese dance in a novel, Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk, by Ahmad Tohari. Through literary analysis of narratives and dialogues, it elucidates the structure of the patron-client relationship, including the roles of the patron and the services the client provides. This analysis reveals that the patron-client relationship in the ronggeng tradition is shaped by a cultural context in which no party may unilaterally start a ronggeng group until an indang spirit reincarnates as a human girl. A dukun ronggeng may then play the role of patron, nurturing the gifted girl and raising her to be a ronggeng. He becomes, in effect, her foster parent and takes care of all her needs, including financing her beautification and dance education. He also takes on the responsibility of preparing all rituals and ceremonies required to legitimize a ronggeng. The ronggeng, in turn, must repay him for all these expenses, with interest, by selling her virginity and sexual services to whomever can pay the highest price, or by performing her ronggeng dance and passing all the tips she collects to the dukun. Clearly, the dukun functions as a classic patron, facilitating a young girl to become a ronggeng, and she, in turn, functions as a client, commodifying herself in order to repay and serve her patron.

Cultural violence: feminist power analysis on Ronggeng performing art

ABSTRACT Ronggeng performing art is preserved as one of Indonesian cultural heritages. However, this art is negatively stigmatized and associated with liquor, gambling, and prostitution. Through the novel Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk, Ahmad Tohari highlighted that several practices in this art leave women vulnerable to violence and intensify the negative stigma toward this art. This paper highlights that the cultural shifts during the colonial era are main reason Ronggeng performing arts were associated with drinking, gambling, and prostitution. Interviews with five Ronggeng dancers highlighted that although the violence described by Ahmad Tohari does not occur today; however, the dancers often get abused both verbally and sexually during performances. Employing the feminist theory of power, this paper emphasizes that cultural violence often occurs at the micro and meso levels. At the micro level, the dancers are powerless to control the income and behavior of the audience. The dancers also often experience psychological violence due to verbal abuse by society against them. At the meso-level, this study finds that parents, especially in rural areas, perceive education as unimportant for girls due to patriarchal ideology in the prevailing culture, making women structurally dependent on men and ultimately placing them in vulnerable positions.

Considering Gowok Cultural Traditions as Prostitution is a Logical Fallacy

Gowok is a cultural tradition that ever existed in Banyumas. This tradition aims to provide understanding, education, and training for a boy who is about to become a teenager or is about to enter the stage of marriage, by a woman who will act as his partner, so that when the boy gets married he can provide physical and spiritual support for his wife. The lack of information about the Gowok cultural tradition makes the construction of the social reality of the community towards the tradition to be bad and negative. Some even think that the Gowok cultural tradition is hidden prostitution. This assumption needs to be straightened out again because it is not entirely true. There are several significant differences between the Gowok cultural tradition and prostitution. This study uses historical research methods with qualitative analysis which is based on literary literacy research and Sin Po newspaper documents in 1941. This study shows that the Gowok cultural tradition experiences misperceptions that continue to mean decadence and ultimately lead to a logical fallacy.Keyword: Gowok, Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk, local wisdom, prostitution, logical fallacy
