AUTHORITARIANISM and TOTALITARIANISM of the ANNULMENT BEHIND (IF HAPPENS) LADY GAGA CONCERT IN INDONESIA

An art entertainment or an entertainment performance which was held in a country, it is inseparable from the philosophy of a State is located. That philosophy can be traced to the actual growing of the ancient Roman era, the principle of "give the people bread and circuses". In principle, there is a symbol that was about to be emphasized that give entertainment and food to the people or citizens of a country. In addition, there is a symbol of power inherent in the principle that can also be called authoritarianism and totalitarianism. The author does not want to dwell on the terms of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, the authors mean only limited understanding of authority and totality. Authority is understood as a point of view of the authorities while the totality understood as ruling party's point of view.


Referring to the understanding that the author wants to explain behind the cancellation (if there) Lady Gaga concert in Indonesia. There is a political phenomenon is very obvious, if we observe the symptoms.

Facts first: a fatwa from the majority religious authorities who oppose holding Lady Gaga concert in Indonesia. 

The second fact: the fact of opposition from the legislature in this case some factions in the House of Representatives (in fact is the party who has the authority of a State that refers to the principle of trias politica), which also opposed the holding of the concert Lady Gaga.

From two facts were sufficient when referring to a legal perspective, it has become a validity that authoritarianism and totalitarianism was the cause cancellation of the concert Lady Gaga (where the concert was canceled). Among those who were fond of Lady Gaga as a role model could have been disappointed and regret these conditions, but in fact they are entitled to protest such issues. So there are actions that can be done by fans of Lady Gaga's to protest the condition, but whether it was done by the brave Lady Gaga fans in Indonesia? The author is very skeptical with things like that. This is because civil society Indonesia will only move and fight against the authority that there is an issue related to energy and basic materials prices. Which is dominated by the claim that only the lower middle class that dominates these issues, but the reality is not like that. There has never been empirically actions carried out a massive rally in entertainment issues by civil society of Indonesia. Yet when we refer to the entertainment issues are very sexy as a political commodity, State of Indonesia is an example of the State which has a wealth of entertainment issues that can be used as a political commodity, one of which is the issue of cancellation of this Lady Gaga concert.

As the cover article, the author simply wanted to emphasize a rationality that is behind the cancellation of the concert Lady Gaga. If this paper helps readers to better understand the social and political conditions in Indonesia, it is for the writer is a good appreciation of the readers of this paper.
