The Voice Of The Wilds Conservation of Papua Culture and Conservation of power as a Tool of State Legitimacy Government policy during the period 5 in Indonesian president , has made a Papuan culture co-opted and occurs pengkebirian the cultural significance of Papua . It begins when the implementation of government legislation ( No: 5 of 1975 , the village government , etc. ) of the overall local governance in Papua . Traditional institutions or leaders of indigenous Papuans in Papua lose the role and was replaced by the role of traditional institutions and traditional leaders formed the government . Culture is understood Papua Papuan people as a means of inter- community dialogue , critical reflection means Papuans have corked cause significant loss of orientsi culture . Culture loses its autonomy , and a paradigm shift that culture belongs to the people and the government can only thrive if handled by the government . The government then becomes the sole agency authorized to manage , and have the right to assess the culture of Papua , reducing the function of culture as a tool to strengthen power status . For example, Papua New Culture Festival , etc. This is not implemented for strengthening the status and function reflect popular culture but is simply a tool to strengthen the role of government in managing and culturally legitimized power ( kekeuasaaan) . On the other hand , the understanding by the government that the culture must be valued economically , has become a cultural reduce produks sheer artistry that can be entertaining and worth selling . Here the role of the village chief / village , district , district heads to the governor , is critical to advancing the entertainment arts . In dirikannya sort Cultural Park arts center , Arts Council etc. , has led to a concentrated space becomes elitist culture and art dependency management only to the government . The entire system supporting culture or art only comes from government funds , which each year becomes a contested arena of conflict between the artist to an endless from time to time . The dynamics of thought and ideology arts in Java , which is strengthened by idilogi Art For At ( art for art ) or motivated by ideology of universal humanism , has entered into Papua since the 62 s, and the only ideology that rose among Papua modern artist is art for art dialogue . While on the island of Java and then dialogue art for art experiencing dynamic development of very varied , and there are also various arts such dialogues art ideology of socialism , the dynamic currents of thought which does not go to Papua . While art for art also stagnated in Papua . And now when the political social changes take place very quickly in Papua , paua artists with art for arts ideological base also stagnated thinking , which resulted in delays in thought and culture . Art for art has also distanced Papua artists with actual problems of society . Political violence that breeds fear which resulted in the closing of the whole community to use public space as a means of expression , and critical reflection . The Management culture ( art ) still has not changed .. Artist Papua has not changed the way of thinking about art and seeing the problems of social , political and cultural . And high dependence on government policy waiting . The whole problem described above , on the one hand that culminated in the form of political violence by elements of the form - or the prediction or (anasirnya) is still fear , uncertainty of life for the people , sub- ethnic conflicts are so strength in Papua , stagnation thinking among artists and cultural Papua . On the other hand , the emergence of consciousness thoughts on the defense of the people : for example, the emergence of an understanding of human rights , womens rights , childrens rights , a strong tradition of Papua as the embodiment of resistance to violence , the potential emergence of a culture of resistance in the villages , re- opening of the role of traditional institutions and leaders customs through the Special Autonomy Law , the advent of independence in managing cultural awareness , are the contradictions that must be mediated through the channels : the need to conduct a thorough cultural movement . That is a cultural movement that is pluralistic . Cultural movement is a means to the ultimate goal of liberation at the same time the people of Papua preformance of expression . Liberation of the past history and future enlightenment .. How the shape and movement of Papuan culture discourse itself forward .. ? ...... It is the primary duty of artists, culture and people of Papua to formulate and make it happen . hopefully, there is hope for us all.
