The People's is a magazine and one of the work programs of the Scientific Division of Anthropology Students at Udayana University (KRAMA). In practice, this magazine has entered its third edition and regularly published every year since it first published in 2021. The theme raised in this year's magazine is "Lens of the Gods: Examining the Traces of Bali Aga Civilization", it is based on everything related to Bali Aga culture on the plains of the Island of the Gods. More specifically, it discusses more about the existence of cultural elements of the Bali Aga people who were the original inhabitants of Bali Island before the arrival of residents from the collapse of the Majapahit Kingdom. The People's Edition 3 began the preparation process starting from June 2023, starting with forming the editorial team until this magazine release on August 31 2023, so it can be concluded that the preparation took approximately two months.

 

During the preparation process, the content presented in each magazine column was mostly sourced from fun research activities (PENSIK) which is also one of the work programs of the KRAMA Scientific Division. Due to the collaboration between the magazine's work program and PENSIK, the place where this magazine preparation activity was carried out was adjusted to the place where PENSIK was held, namely in Bayung Gede Village, Sukawana Village, Selulung Village, and Mengani Village. Apart from the results of PENSIK, several of the rubrics published are also the result of writings obtained through open submissions from writers of the rubrics for The People's Magazine Edition 3. Through that explanation, the parties involved in making the publication of this year's magazine a success are relatives of students from the Scientific Division and other Anthropology students at Udayana University, column writers, as well as lecturers in Cultural Anthropology at Udayana University, one of whom is Mr. Budarsa as companion and person in charge.

 

The People's, as KRAMA's annual magazine, has several objectives behind its preparation and publication. The objectives in question include the following.

- For KRAMA, it can be used as a new media in producing creative and educational content.

- For the author, it is as a medium that specifically accommodates the works of students of the Anthropology study program, and in general to accommodate the work of the author in the sense of the wider community regarding all forms of culture of the Bali Aga community.

- For readers, it is to increase knowledge, insight and inspiration from the rubrics featured in the magazine.

Apart from involving the campus, the release of this year's magazine cannot be separated from the role of parties outside the campus who also participated in each page of the magazine. Mr. Budi, principal of SMAN 1 Kintamani, believes that activities such as making magazines are highly recommended considering that recently the younger generation's interest in writing is very low. He also welcomed our arrival during the PENSIK activities and facilitated us in terms of accommodation. One of our resource persons, namely Mr. Jero Bau Karmawan as the supervisor of the Selulung Traditional Village, was very enthusiastic in providing information during the interview. By raising the theme around Bali Aga, he hopes that through this magazine the traditions, culture and other local wisdom of the Bali Aga community can be more widely known to the public. (nad)
