Javanism is the belief among the Javanese which came long before Islam entered Indonesia. Javanism is the belief of the Javanese people which is not the religion stated by the government. Javanism still believes in the spirits of the ancestors or animism and dynamism. When Islam came to Indonesia, especially Java, this belief was gradually left by the people. In fact, it still can be found some people believe in Javanism. One of them is Sumarni, the main character in Okky Madasari's Entrok. Okky is one of the woman writers in Indonesia. She has won Khatulistiwa Literary Award, a prestigious award for writers in Indonesia.Entrok reveals the story about Sumarni's struggle in life. Sumarni is an obedient follower of Javanism among the Islamic surrounding. So, this study analyses how Javanism applies in her life, whether it is a tradition or a belief. This study used a qualitative method with descriptive and hermeneutics approach. Sociological literary concept is used to see the reflection of the community in literary works. The result shows that Sumarni still convinces Javanism as her belief. Despite of great influence of Islam around her, Sumarni is still faithful in Javanism.

The Javanese - one of the largest ethnic groups in the Islamic world - were once mostly 'nominal Muslims' with pious believers a minority and the majority seemingly resistant to Islam's call for greater piety. Over the tumultuous period analyzed here - from the 1930s to the 2000s - that society has changed profoundly to become an extraordinary example of the rising religiosity that marks the modern age.
Islamisation and Its Opponents in Java draws on a formidable body of sources, including interviews, archival documents and a vast range of published material, to situate the Javanese religious experience. Winner of the Kahin Prize from the Association of Asia Studies, the study has considerable relevance for much wider contexts. The final section of the book, which considers the significance of Java's religious history in global contexts, shows how it exemplifies a profound contest of values in the universal human search for a better life.

The Javanese Weltanschauung (Javanism) is based on the conviction of the essential unity of all Existence. This worldview is more encompassing than religion: it views human existence within a cosmological context, making life itself a religious experience. In this view of life it is not possible to separate the religious from the non-religious elements; human existence is inescapably related to supernature and it is senseless to sharply distinguish between the here and now and the beyond and timeless.

After reviewing the circumstances and results of the first congress of Javanese in Semarang (1991) and relating the proceedings of the second congress held at Batu in 1996, the article synthesizes the principle questions debated concerning the politics of language, usage, teaching, the press and publishing, literature and the arts, spirituality and values. In general, the evidence of a certain decline in spoken usage and the lack of interest in literature calls for concrete measures, which demand great institutional investment. But for the author, this congress, which put strong emphasis on cultural and spiritual values connected with language, can be seen from the point of view of its function in reinflecting identity. It seems as though Javanese must respond more and more to a need for symbolic and ideological " retraditionalizing " (according to the demands of " Javanism" [kejawen]) to the detriment of linguistic communication properly so called, bound to Indonesianizing.
Abstract-In a country with a majority Muslim population, increase in economy, purchasing power and consumption such as Indonesia, halal food is a principal requirement. This has led to the springing of certified and uncertified halal food stalls in their supply chain. Therefore, this study aims to observe the supply chains used in naming halal food stalls and restaurants and how its distribution chain is applied to its certification in Indonesia through the official government agencies. The research data consists of 503 names of food stalls and restaurants in five districts of Malang City, namely, Klojen, Lowokwaru, Blimbing, Sukun, and Kedungkandang. Furthermore, photography techniques and several applications such as MUI Halal, Halal Tracking, and Kuliner Malang are used to provide information and validation of halal certificates. Data was analyzed using Linguistic Landscape design on the frequency of language use, its monolingual and bilingual forms, as well as the information and symbolic functions. The results showed that monolingual and bilingual Indonesian languages, English, and Javanese were dominantly used compared to Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and Dutch. Therefore, the perceptions of nationalism, internationalism, Javanism, and Islamism are instilled, though the official halal certificates still show a slight number.
