Abstract

This study explores the legend of Princess Mandalika and its significance as a symbol of gender struggle among the Sasak tribe on Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara. Data collection methods include observations, interviews, and document analysis. The study also incorporates data from social media platforms such as YouTube, Tik Tok, and Facebook, which feature the legend of Princess Mandalika in Lombok. The analysis employs hermeneutic techniques to interpret the legend's meaning in the context of gender struggle for Sasak women and utilizes semiotic theory to uncover symbols within the legend. This research is driven by the enduring oral traditions within the Sasak farming community, focusing on the folklore surrounding the legend of Princess Mandalika. The findings suggest that the gender struggle for equality, as portrayed in the Legend of Princess Mandalika, still encounters sociocultural barriers. The story highlights the sacrifices made by Mandalika, a king's daughter, as she chose to preserve her honor and kingdom by sacrificing herself in the sea. This act symbolizes the spirit of the Sasak women's gender struggle to maintain harmony and safety. In Sasak culture, the Merariq tradition serves as a conflict resolution method for addressing gender bias against Sasak women. The research underscores that Sasak women continue to fight for equal rights, and their struggle reflects the community's perspective that such rights must be earned.

Abstract

Lamut is a traditional art form that has evolved and flourished alongside society. This performance art involves a solo theatrical presentation by an individual known as the Palamutan. Facing the threat of extinction due to modern societal dynamics, this study investigates lamut art, identifying the factors behind its decline, exploring methods for its revitalization, particularly among youth, and evaluating its contribution to national and local development, underscoring its cultural importance and need for preservation. This study highlight the rich cultural history of Lamut and its significance in the Banjar community. The study is to understand the decline of lamut, identify the factors affecting its practice, and propose methods to preserve it for future generations. The methodology employed is descriptive qualitative research, providing an explanatory framework for the findings. The study categorizes lamut into two types: entertainment lamut and therapeutic lamut. Results indicate that factors contributing to the decline include the long duration of performances, ritualistic aspects incompatible with Islamic teachings, and the marginalization of traditional arts in the face of modernity. The emphasis is that the preservation of lamut requires collaboration between artists, cultural practitioners, and relevant institutions to ensure its continuity.
