On Tuesday, September 10, 2019, new students were invited by the Head of the UGM Javanese Literature Study Program, Dr. Sri Ratna Saktimulya M.Hum. to participate in the Pura Pakualaman Labuhan event. The ceremony which is held every 10th of Muharram or 10th of Suro is intended as a form of gratitude to God Almighty for still being able to experience the Javanese New Year. Apart from that, Labuhan is also a symbol of 'getting rid of bad luck' by the Javanese so that the year to be passed will be filled with good things, while bad things will stay away. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out direct interaction between students and Javanese culture itself so that the direct picture that has been obtained can be used as a means to develop their scientific competence.

In its implementation, participating students were gathered at Pakualaman Temple at 06.30 AM WIB, followed by a bus trip to Pesanggrahan Glagah. Arriving there, all the participants carried out the carnival to the Joglo Labuhan. Then, several mountains floated into the sea. It was a very enjoyable and memorable day for Javanese Literature students. In addition to increasing knowledge, experience, and direct cultural interaction, this field lecture also functions as a medium for developing scientific competence.

On August 22 and 23, 2019, the Javanese Literature Study Program held a joint seminar with ATMA (Institut Alam dan Tamadun Melayu), UKM (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) from Malaysia. SEMEJA is an abbreviation of the Malay-Javanese Seminar which is a collaboration between ATMA, UKM and the Javanese Literature Study Program, Department of Language and Literature, Faculty of Cultural Studies (FIB), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). SEMEJA is an annual event that is held alternately every year. Previously, this event was held at ATMA, UKM, Malaysia and this year it was held at FIB UGM.

The SEMEJA event was attended by seven lecturers from ATMA, UKM, Malaysia, who were presenters at the seminar, and 11 lecturers from the Javanese Literature Study Program FIB UGM. This seminar talked a lot about history and culture both in Malaysia and in Java. Apart from the SEMEJA event, to be precise after the second day of SEMEJA, the event was continued with a public lecture filled by Prof. Madya Nor Zalina Harun and attended by students of Javanese Literature Study Program, FIB UGM.

Bayat Sub-district, which belongs to Klaten Regency, is located in the southern corner of the region, bordering Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region to the south, Cawas Sub-district to the east, Wedi Sub-district to the west and Trucuk Sub-district to the north. Bayat Sub-district is located in a limestone mountainous area parallel to the Gunungkidul region, so the appearance of the area is hilly and the majority of its citizens do not depend on farming, but many work as craftsmen, ranging from pottery, various kinds of stone tools, to batik cloth.

Bayat sub-district is an important region in history, even though it is not located in the center of government. This is evident from various stories about the area, many of which are associated with a figure who lived around the 16th century, named Ki Ageng Pandanaran. He was a regent of Semarang who resigned from power and chose to spread Islam under the title Sunan Tembayat in this area until the end of his life. In addition to the figure of Sunan Tembayat, this area also has many other historical figures who came from the transition of the Majapahit era to Demak Bintara, such as Seh Sabuk Janur, Ki Ageng Becik, Seh Domba, Ki Ageng Konang, Ki Ageng Menang Lase, Ki Ageng Santri, Pangeran Menangkabo and Panembahan Jiwa. They have their own stories in the context of their roles as leaders of the local community since the days of Demak, Mataram until it was split into Surakarta and Yogyakarta. This shows that this area, apart from its old age, also has its place in historical dynamics.

Bayat District has approximately ten batik industry centers with their uniqueness and specialization. Several batik production centers in the Bayat sub-district include stamped batik in Beluk Village, hand-written batik in Needle Village and Kebon Village, and lurk woven batik in Tegalrejo Village. The batik industry in Bayat has been hereditary and has become one of the regional suppliers of batik cloth to the Klewer market in Surakarta and Beringharjo in Yogyakarta several decades ago. Batik produced in the Bayat area itself has many variations, ranging from classic batik which has a characteristic color sogan for jarit or nyamping, modern batik with natural colors like indigo (indigovera), contemporary motives for consumption fashion, and the tastes of international buyers, to the combination of luck and batik in media other than fabrics such as wood batik, leather batik and so on.

As an area that is thick with historical nuances, Bayat District certainly has a lot of local wisdom, one of which is in the form of traditional songs, spells, prayers, tattoos, and wise advice that is useful for the community to address various phenomena of life in the present and anticipate things that may occur in the future. Besides that, a lot petilasan or the historical footprint of many figures from the eras of Hinduism, and Islam to the last Javanese kingdoms in this region shows that of course there will be many related folktales to be found, which apart from being able to function as a medium for historical reminders also contain various cultural values. In addition, the Bayat area has also become an important part of the history of Javanese literature, because at the gate of the tomb of Sunan Tembayat was also found the sengkalan or chronogram, titles Murti Sarira Jleging Ratu(1448) and Wisaya Hanata Wisiking Ratu(1555), whose typeface is archaic, contemporaneous with texts found in coastal areas, including Primbon Sunan Bonang which is stored in the Asian Library Library, Leiden University. These things have not been optimally exposed especially about Bayat as one of the handicraft industry centers in Klaten. Community Service (PPM) carried out by the Javanese Literature Study Program, Language and Literature Department, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta this time will focus on developing batik motifs filled with folklore and local wisdom with Javanese written media, both modern and modern Javanese styles. known today as well as the 'Sunan Tembayat style' which is depicted in ancient tomb complexes in this area.

The aim of the PPM Javanese Literature Study Program in Bayat District, Klaten Regency, which was held on July 15, 2019, was to strengthen Bayat's identity as a religious and historical tourism destination, a center for the UMKM industry (Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises) in the handicraft sector as well as one of the areas with a specific in the field of culture, besides that, it is also to form a community group that manages the potential for cultural arts and history in Bayat District, Klaten Regency.

The expected results in community service activities are Bayat District as the Study Program Foster Area, more specifically to strengthen the existence of Bayat District, Klaten Regency as an area that has a distinctive and strong-rooted cultural character.

The results obtained from the activity 'Community Service: Development of Batik Motifs Based on Folklore and Javanese Script in Bayat District, Klaten Regency' is the creation of the 'Udan Riris Majaarum' batik motif. This motif can be used by the community as a batik motif characteristic of the Needle Village, Bayat District. In addition to batik motifs outcome of this activity is the article 'Creating a New Motive for the Identity of Needle Village, Bayat District, Klaten Regency' which is planned to be published in the Bakti Budaya Journal and activity documentation.

Fiduhirani Tigatma Rustam or who is familiarly called Fifi is one of the UGM Javanese Literature Study Program students who is active and talented in both academic and non-academic fields. On the occasion yesterday, when he received the Outstanding Student Award III, Faculty of Cultural Sciences UGM (3/03/2017), she admitted that she was touched and did not expect that he would be chosen as one of the Outstanding Student figures this year. Not only smart in the academic field, but Fifi is also no less talented in singing or it is called nyinden. It was proven that at the time of receiving the award, Fifi did not only act as a guest for the award but also as a presenter at the 71st FIB Anniversary event. Fifi won from one stage to another to hone her passion for singing, playing Gamelan and Pianos. This woman born in the City of Marble is very smiley and doesn't hesitate to teach her siblings or friends. (Kintani Inagita).

"Ajining raga saka busana". The Javanese proverb tries to remind us that other people will respect us according to the clothes we wear. Even some people say that clothes are the way we represent our emotions and personality, as well as how we want others to perceive us.

Nusantara Literature, which has now changed its name to Javanese Literature, is one of them Study Program in the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Through its name, It is a means for an individual to know more about the existing culture in the Archipelago/Nusantara. Through this name, many foreign students from abroad come to wish to study Indonesian culture and take one or several subject  studying in this study program.

More than just learning about cultural diversity, this Study Program provides an example in a real way through the use of Indonesian clothing when studying. Change of name Nusantara Literature into Javanese Literature does not mean that only Javanese customs are studied, as well as the traditional clothing worn on campus.

This Nusantara traditional clothing is used as a means for students to show their identity to the public. This agenda is a program of the Departmental Student Association (HMJ) which requires students to wear traditional Indonesian clothing every Thursday first week of every month.

"We are Indonesians, so we show that this is our culture, not only Javanese culture but all the cultures that exist in the archipelago”. Said Abigail, one Javanese Literature students also wear traditional palace clothes.

Initially, it was only a program from HMJ KAMASUTRA, but students appreciated it by using it compactly. If you enter FIB, you will see the difference between Javanese Literature students and other students.

While others use casual clothes in general, Javanese Literature Students idealistically wear a kebaya, as if there was a palace ceremony at UGM. Others wore Balinese traditional clothes as if there was a group from Bali visiting the campus.

According to Sri Ratna Sakti, head of the Javanese Literature Study Program, the traditional clothes worn by students will directly influence the behavior of their students little by little.

“Formerly they wore pants, now they wear scarves when they change using a student automatic scarf is not easy to jegeng, right? she added.

In the future, this tradition will continue to be carried out as a real manifestation of The study program applies the knowledge learned in lectures. “The real example does not come from words but from real actions.” It is hoped that students and their alma mater will be able to continue to uphold the noble values of Mother Earth's culture in the Nusantara. (Roman Ahmad).

Cooperation between allied countries must be mutually beneficial. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to revitalize culture to explore, grow, and develop community wisdom as the basis for the development of a people's economy that is prosperous and self-sufficient. Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. Sutrisno Wibowo, M.Pd. as Chair of IKADBUDI delivered a speech entitled "Care for Language, Literature and Regional Culture" with the emphasis that revitalizing culture in the 2015 ASEAN community era, we must look at the existence of Indonesian language, literature and regional culture which are rich in local wisdom and then must try to revitalize it. Local wisdom which is the hallmark of the Indonesian language, literature, and regional culture must be made a subject to develop in the future.

Six students of Archipelago Literature at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Yogyakarta who are members of the Yogyakarta Javanese Literature Studio (SSJY) staged a radio play at the DIY Language Center, Monday (19/10) evening. They presented a manuscript by Handung Kussudyarsono entitled "Isih Jembar Kalangane" from the book collection of KR's Plays of Jokes. Because the format is a radio play, the supporters of the story just sit and read the script. Six people read the dialogues of the story characters, while the other reads the narrative. To liven up the atmosphere, the stage was accompanied by gamelan. Before presenting "Isih Jembar Kalangane", UGM students first staged "Layangan Tatas" by Margareta Widhi Pratiwi who was also present that night to watch the script being staged. The dialogue and narration of this play several times made the audience laugh. The staging of the radio play is part of the DIY Language and Literature Week which takes place Monday-Saturday (19-24/10) with various activities, such as language and literature workshops as well as language and literature competitions. According to the DIY Language and Literature Week Coordinator who is also chairman of SSJY, Yohanes Adhi Satiyoko, the selection of the script from Jenaka KR was because in the 1980s Jenaka KR was close to people's hearts with its figures such as Handung Kusudyarsono, Suwariyun, and others. “I feel happy because almost all of the young people who attended this activity attended. It turns out that Javanese literature is still attached to the hearts of young people," he said. In addition to the drama script, there was also a performance of a 'short story' entitled "Sandhal Goreng" by Stella, a UGM student who is also an alumnus of the Javanese Literature Workshop at the DIY Language Center. There is also a story about a ghost, entitled "Pocongan Numpak Pit Modifikasi" by Harya Widada which was delivered in a monologue by Mas Lurah Citra Panambang (Bagus Febrianto) which ended the performance that night. At the beginning of the performance, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta students who are members of the Gandewa Studio presented an 'acapella geguritan'. Supriyanto from the Bantul Studio also read geguritan to fill in the pause after the performance of “Isih Jembar Kalangane”. (Source: KR 21/10).
