Representasi Sejarah dan Memori Kolektif Masyarakat Sipil Jepang dalam Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
World War II in the Pacific caused not only military destruction but also profound suffering among Japanese civilians. This study examines the representation of the war’s impact on Japanese civilian society in Isao Takahata’s animated film Grave of the Fireflies (1988). The study employs a qualitative approach using library research and film analysis from historical and film-studies perspectives. Primary data consist of Grave of the Fireflies and Akiyuki Nosaka’s semi-autobiographical story, while supporting materials include historical literature on the bombing of Japan, particularly Kobe in 1945, as well as studies of war trauma, collective memory, and civilian life. The data were analyzed through content analysis and semiotic-narrative analysis and subsequently compared with historical information to assess the film’s representational accuracy. The findings indicate that the film portrays the consequences of war through four major dimensions: physical and material destruction, psychological trauma, the breakdown of social and family relations, and economic and food crises. Through the perspectives of Seita and Setsuko, civilian experiences are presented in personal and humanistic terms, particularly through scenes of displacement, loss of home and family members, hunger, and declining social solidarity. The film demonstrates strong correspondence with the historical context of Japanese civilian life during the final phase of the war. Nevertheless, its representation is selective because it foregrounds the experience of victims while giving limited attention to Japan’s position as an aggressor in the Asia-Pacific War. Grave of the Fireflies therefore functions not only as a work of art but also as a medium for historical representation and the preservation of collective memory concerning civilian suffering in wartime.

Ahimsa Sebagai Kewarganegaraan Kontestatif: Institusionalisasi dan Protes di Asia Selatan
This article examines how Ahimsa was institutionalized as a discourse of nonviolent citizenship in India and how this repertoire resonates in recent South Asian protest movements. Using qualitative document analysis and directed content analysis, the study analyzes Gandhian interpretations of Ahimsa and Satyagraha, Indian education policy documents, curriculum frameworks, and recent scholarly studies on civic resistance. The analysis traces three linked processes: moral translation, institutional transmission, and civic enactment. The findings show that Gandhi recast Ahimsa from a religious ethic into an active political repertoire through Satyagraha. Postcolonial institutions, especially education policy, then preserved Ahimsa as a normative language of citizenship. Recent protests in India, especially the farmers' movement and Shaheen Bagh, continued to use nonviolent repertoires while adapting them to gendered leadership, constitutional claim-making, and digital circulation. Comparative evidence from Bangladesh and Nepal further shows that youth-led civic resistance now relies heavily on networked communication, even when its moral language is not explicitly Gandhian. The article concludes that Ahimsa now operates less as a fixed personal trait than as a contested public language of nonviolent citizenship, strongest institutionally in India and echoed selectively elsewhere in South Asia.

Tiga Kerajaan Besar Islam: Safawi, Mughal, dan Turki Usmani
This study analyzes the social, political, economic, and intellectual dynamics of the pre-modern period of the Islamic world by focusing on three major empires: the Safavid in Persia, the Mughal in India, and the Ottoman in Anatolia. This period was marked by both the zenith of Islamic civilization and the onset of significant decline. The Safavid Empire, under Shah Ismail and reaching its golden age during the reign of Shah Abbas I, established Twelver Shi‘ism as the state religion, implemented centralized bureaucracy, expanded international trade, and promoted advancements in art, architecture, and philosophy. The Mughal dynasty, particularly under Akbar through Aurangzeb, consolidated political stability, developed agricultural and export-based trade systems, and produced monumental legal works such as Fatawa Alamgiri as well as architectural masterpieces like the Taj Mahal. In contrast, the Ottoman Empire began to experience military defeats and administrative weakness, which spurred an awareness of the need for reform through diplomacy and the adoption of Western technology, though often hindered by resistance from the ulema and Janissary corps. Overall, this period reflects the transition of the Islamic world from global supremacy toward stagnation and a reactive stance toward Western modernity, eventually laying the groundwork for the Islamic reform movements of the 18th and 19th centuries.

This research aims to analyze strategies in strengthening national integration in the midst of these challenges. The method used is a literature study by collecting and analyzing various reliable sources related to national integration. The results show that the main challenges in national integration include digital access gaps, cybersecurity threats, as well as global cultural influences that can erode local values. To overcome these challenges, strategies such as equitable digital access, increasing technological literacy, and strengthening national values through education and social media are needed. In addition, collaboration between the government, educational institutions, and the community is needed to build a collective awareness of the importance of unity in diversity. By utilizing technology positively and instilling the spirit of tolerance and togetherness, national integration can be strengthened to build a more harmonious, stable, and competitive nation in the era of globalization
