Abstract

The rationality of Nyadran as a cultural and philosophical Nusantara phenomenon needs to be studied, including Nyadran at Kemloko. The research aims to explain the Nyadran tradition, history, and the rationality of society. The data was collected by observation, interviews, literature review. We conducted observations of Nyadran practitioners in Kemloko hamlet, Temanggung, Central Java, and carried out in-depth interviews using purposive sampling based on key figures involved in the implementation of Nyadran in Kemloko. The data were examined through the lens of cultural rationality, which combines cultural and rational choice perspectives to explain behavior in political and social contexts. The results of the study, first, Nyadran in Kemloko was carried out in the months of Ruwah and Rajab, the month before Ramadan, coinciding with Friday. Kenduri Nyadran is performed at home or tomb and its implementation develops according to community conditions. Second, Nyadran has existed since the pre-Majapahit era and has grown to this day. Third, the implementation of Nyadran is based on traditional, affective, instrumental rationality and value rationality. Nyadran is an act of following the traditions of parents and ancestors. Affectionately, Nyadran is a proof of respect, obedience and devotion, as well as self-melting in society. Nyadran instrumentally becomes a means of showing devotion, a means of praying, a means of socializing, and a means of entertainment. The values contained in Nyadran are considered not to conflict with religious values and goodness in local culture.

Abstract

Islamization in Java developed through the interaction between Islamic teachings, Sufism, and local culture. Studies on Kiai Mutamakkin in the Serat Cebolek have mainly seen him as a political figure, an ideal of Javanese Islam, or a symbol of moderation. However, little attention is paid to how Sufi cultural practices shape the santri habitus and produce religious authority. This article examines how the santri’s habitus forms and authority emerges through Kiai Mutamakkin’s symbolic strategies in the Serat Cebolek. The primary source is the Serat Cebolek version by Van Dorp, transliterated by Soebardi. This literature review uses documentation and analyzes data with Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics and Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of praxis, focusing on habitus, capital, field, and symbolic strategy. Findings show the santri’s habitus forms through cultural Sufi practices using Javanese symbols, such as the Dewa Ruci narrative and religious pedagogy. These practices help internalize religious values in a reflective, context-aware way. The study also finds that Kiai Mutamakkin uses cultural, social, and symbolic capital, converting them into religious legitimacy recognized by his community and followers. Using symbolic strategies, he links Sufism with local culture, building alternative religious authority outside formal Keraton structures. This article supports studies on Nusantara Islam and Islamic anthropology by showing that cultural Sufism shapes the santri habitus, creates legitimacy, and forms community-based authority.
