HEADLINESNews ReleaseSDGs 17: Partnerships for the GoalsSDGs 4: Quality Education Thursday, 8 May 2025

Yogyakarta, April 26, 2025 – The Student Association of Arabic Study Program (IKMASA) of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) welcomed a delegation from the Student Association of Arabic Language and Literature (HMPS BSA) of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) in a collaborative visitation program titled IKMASA Berkunjung (SANJUNG). This visit was part of HMPS BSA UAD’s initiative to strengthen organizational quality, evaluate performance, expand networks, and foster innovation among students of Arabic Literature.

The event brought together the executive members of IKMASA 2025/2026 and HMPS BSA UAD 2024/2025, including both chairpersons—Candra Solihin (IKMASA UGM) and Galih Yoga (HMPS BSA UAD). The program featured a warm silaturahmi (bond-building session) between the two organizations, including cabinet presentations by both chairpersons, division-level sharing sessions, and a campus tour followed by a group photo session.

Held at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences UGM, specifically in Room 709 of Soegondo Building, the event began at 09.00 AM with an Opening Ceremony. The agenda included a Qur’anic recitation and a communal singing of the Indonesian national anthem, “Indonesia Raya.” Welcoming speeches from representatives of both organizations followed, expressing shared hopes and the purpose behind this inter-campus initiative.

In the main session, each chairperson presented their respective organizational structures and work programs, aiming to inspire mutual collaboration and exchange of ideas. From 10.30 to 11.00 AM, the program continued with a dynamic interdepartmental sharing session that provided a valuable forum for discussion, reflection, and the exchange of experiences and strategies.

The visit concluded with a campus tour of UGM, giving guests from HMPS BSA UAD a closer look at the university environment while strengthening the personal and institutional connections between the two groups.

It is hoped that this event will serve as the foundation for future collaboration and continued communication between IKMASA UGM and HMPS BSA UAD. Beyond building organizational insight, the program also fostered meaningful relationships and a spirit of unity among Arabic Literature students from different institutions.

SANJUNG marks a positive step forward in promoting inter-university dialogue and collaboration. Activities like this demonstrate that the spirit of student organization and cooperation can flourish not only within UGM and UAD but also across other Arabic Literature programs throughout Indonesia—encouraging a more connected and empowered academic community.

Lecturer from UGM’s Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture Program Explores Prince Diponegoro’s Story in the Babad Ngayogyakarta During the First Nusantara Manuscript Literacy Class

HEADLINESNews ReleaseSDGs 17: Partnerships for the GoalsSDGs 4: Quality Education Tuesday, 6 May 2025

Yogyakarta, 6/5/2025 – On Tuesday (March 25, 2025), Dr. Arsanti Wulandari, M.Hum., a lecturer from the Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture Program at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FIB UGM), discussed the life of Prince Diponegoro as depicted in the Babad Ngayogyakarta during the first session of the Nusantara Manuscript Literacy Class. The event was organized by the Center for Library Information Services and Nusantara Manuscript Management (Pujaasintara) of the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia (Perpusnas RI), under the theme “Another Side of Diponegoro: The Prince from Two Perspectives.”

In her presentation, Dr. Arsanti examined the manuscript Serat Babad Kawiwitan Djumenengipun Kanjeng Sultan Kaping 4-Kaping 5, housed at the Sonobudoyo Museum, Yogyakarta, under the code SB 169. This manuscript was originally composed during the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwana V and later recopied during the era of Hamengkubuwana VII.

Within the Babad Ngayogyakarta, the life of Prince Diponegoro is detailed extensively, tracing the early years of Hamengkubuwana IV (verses 1–20) through the outbreak of the Java War (verses 21–48). Dr. Arsanti highlighted various exemplary qualities of Prince Diponegoro, particularly in the realm of education. Diponegoro emphasized three key areas of instruction for Hamengkubuwana IV: mastery of Javanese script and culture through literary works, proficiency in Arabic script and religious knowledge, and the acquisition of Malay and English for effective communication.

In addition to Dr. Arsanti Wulandari, Dr. Sudibyo Prawiroatmodjo, M.Hum., a lecturer from the Indonesian Language and Literature Program at FIB UGM, also served as a speaker, offering insights into Prince Diponegoro from the perspective of the Babad Kedhung Kebo. Notably, the session was also attended by Prof. Dr. Peter B.R. Carey, a distinguished historian renowned for his extensive research on Southeast Asian history, particularly the Java War and Prince Diponegoro.

The webinar proceeded smoothly and was marked by enthusiastic participation. Numerous questions from attendees reflected a strong interest in exploring Prince Diponegoro’s historical legacy through different manuscript sources.

The Nusantara Manuscript Literacy Class aims to uncover and elevate valuable knowledge contained within the Nusantara manuscripts. This information is expected to enrich academic fields and provide broader benefits to society. More broadly, the initiative supports the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in advancing quality education and fostering partnerships to achieve shared objectives.

Exploring the Ins and Outs of Codicology Through Field Lectures

HEADLINESNews ReleaseSDGs 17: Partnerships for the GoalsSDGs 4: Quality Education Tuesday, 6 May 2025

Yogyakarta, 6/5/2025 – With the aim of improving understanding related to lectures, the lecturer of codicology, Dr. Sri Ratna Saktimulya, M.Hum. brought Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture students of the 2023 class to visit three libraries; the Widyabudaya Keraton Ngayogyakarta library, the Sonobudoyo Museum library, and the Widyapustaka Pura Pakualaman library.

This field lecture started in the morning at 08.30 until the afternoon at 15.00. Students were asked to gather in the parking lot of the Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat before 08.30 for joint preparation and direction. The first destination visited was the Widyabudaya library. There, students were invited and accompanied by abdi dalem to look around and get to know the rooms in the library such as the reservation room, archive room, depo-archive room. In addition, students were also given manuscripts to observe their physical condition according to the material that had been taught such as the paper material, the illumination contained in the manuscript, and others.

Continued with the Sonobudoyo Museum library, students are guided to get to know various manuscripts made from various materials such as paper and wood, and are shown the process of digitizing manuscripts and how to care for manuscripts. Then in the Widyapustaka library, students are shown a manuscript care system by maintaining a stable temperature and conducive to manuscripts, especially those that are quite old.

In the physical condition of Javanese manuscripts, various illuminations are often found in them. Pudjiastuti, Mujizah, Ikram, et al. (2018) explained that the term illumination was originally used to refer to decorations on manuscripts in the form of gold. But later, the term then developed its use and referred to images (decorations) in manuscripts. There are several models of illumination in manuscripts, such as pepadan (a picture that shows the change of pupuh tembang), rubrication (red coloring of a word or sentence that makes an important idea), and wedana (image illumination in the form of text framing ornaments) (Saktimulya, 2015).

By organizing this field study, students are expected to increase their knowledge and experience about manuscripts, starting from the process of creating and managing ancient manuscripts as well as knowing various valuable collections in the fields of Javanese language, literature and culture. Furthermore, students are also expected to understand the existence of manuscripts and archives themselves, namely as part of historical sources and a direct description of the cultural life of their time. This can help students contribute to the development of knowledge in this field.

Dare to Create: A Strategic Step to Preserve and Develop Javanese Literature for the Young Generation

HEADLINESNews ReleaseSDGs 17: Partnerships for the GoalsSDGs 4: Quality Education Monday, 5 May 2025

Yogyakarta, 5/5/2025 — The fate of a culture, including its language and literature, ultimately rests in the hands of its people. Acknowledging this, the Study Program of Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FIB UGM), held a special event on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, featuring Drs. Suhartoyo, a passionate advocate and observer of Javanese literature and culture. Drs. Suhartoyo, himself an alumnus of the program, actively manages Majalah Belik, a Javanese-language magazine, and is involved in the Javanese Literature and Culture Association (Paguyuban Sastra dan Budaya Jawa, Pasbuja) Kawi Merapi.

On this occasion, Drs. Suhartoyo encouraged students to boldly explore ideas and create literary works. He shared several practical writing tips, including writing down ideas immediately without waiting for perfection, reading more literary works or similar writings as references, daring to experiment, and, importantly, refraining from being overly critical of one’s own work. “Please, write anything you wish. Do not worry about whether the work is good or bad, because it can always be revised later. Most importantly, do not become the harshest critic of your own creations,” he advised.

As part of the Creative Javanese Writing course, students were given time to produce written works, whether in Indonesian or Javanese. Moreover, they were provided the opportunity to present their creations publicly. The students’ enthusiasm was evident, as shown by the large number of participants eager to read their works aloud.

As a gesture of appreciation, Drs. Suhartoyo presented the Study Program of Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture with souvenirs in the form of the latest edition of Majalah Belik and an anthology of short stories (cerkak). The event concluded warmly with a group photo session, capturing a moment hoped to ignite continued enthusiasm for literary creation.

Through this activity, it is expected that students and the younger generation will be increasingly motivated to dare to create, particularly in the realms of local language, literature, and culture. The works they produce are not merely forms of self-expression but also play a crucial role in preserving (nguri-uri), enlivening (ngurip-urip), and developing the nation’s cultural heritage. It is time for the next generation to understand that the courage to create is a tangible expression of national responsibility. By continuing to create, we collectively strengthen the nation’s identity and contribute positively to society. So, let us Dare to Create!
