Muh. Faisal, Supriadi Hamdat, Muhammad Basir, Halilintar Latief

Abstract: This study was intended to describe the identity and practices of painting art through the struggle and identity contestation among artists in Makassar. It is characterized by symbolic diversity in painting art as the manifestation of artist identity. In collecting the data, the researcher used participant-observation by applying ethnographic approaches, especially at art exhibition moments such as the Makassar Biennale, and other art exhibitions held by Makassarese artists. Pierre Bourdieu theory of habitus, capital, and arena became one of the theoretical approaches that researcher used to describe the social practices in the field of fine art in Makassar. The objectives achieved in this study were classified based on the knowledge system, institutional system, and economic system practiced by Makassarese artists. The results of this study revealed that the ideological knowledge of artists was closely related to the symbolic knowledge created through the painting art. The work of art was created on the basis of personal function which tends to be mimetic; while painting art which was created based on social function has two aspects, namely idealism (social realism) and profit (imitationalism). Furthermore, work of art was created based on physical function which tends to present works of art mix media and artwork use (craft). The concepts were practiced based on the contestation of artists in presenting the discourse of contemporary fine art in Makassar. Based on the results of this study, it was found that the identity politics of Makassarese artists were not fully separable from economic politics, in which there was a process of artistic diffusions through discourse and symbolic system among artists that have been segmented through institutions, agencies and other socio-economic classes.

A STRUGGLE FOR IDENTITY AMONG SEXUAL MINORITIES: A CASE FROM TRANSGENDER WOMEN
Kamal Gautam

Abstract: The paper aims to analyze the experiences of sexual minorities while struggling for their identity in the public. The sexual minorities comprise of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals, but Transgender individuals are the most marginalized, misunderstood and the least studied group (Booth, 2014). The current narrative case study explores the life journey of two transgender women and uncovers three themes: different identity feelings; disclosure of gender identity; and discovering the gender community. The struggles made by these women to reclaim their identity support the ideas underpinned by Queer theory. The multiple gender roles played by them as a father at home and as a transgender woman in the outer world have become an unsolved problem for them. They are hiding their transgender identity and are always in the fear of isolation and rejections from their near ones. This type of conflicting situations between minority values and dominant values bring a tragic condition of both the minority people like transgender individuals and their family at least. So, the deconstruction of the sex/gender split, and the destabilization of overall discursive legitimacy of modern sexual classifications and power relations will be a sort of magical resolution of the gender issues which will help to build a new vision of community.
