<![CDATA[Finding a cure when people get sick is an important thing. One of the efforts done by Kediri people in finding for a cure is to come to a Dukun (Shaman/traditional healer) Suwuk and Dukun Prewangan. The purposes of this research are to know the profiles and methods of Dukun Suwuk and Dukun Prewangan, and their role in curing diseases. This research used descriptive qualitative method. The results of this research show that (1) the process of healing and problem solution performed by Dukun Suwuk uses prayer as a key source of power. And Dukun Prewangan uses the help of supernatural beings who become their working partners to cure or resolve the problem, (2) Dukun Suwuk and Dukun Prewangan has an important role in society because of their presence is needed and respected. In addition, Dukun Suwuk and Dukun Prewangan who have been offering the services had experienced a lot of things as a living experience, (3) healing process performed by Dukun Suwuk and Dukun Prewangan is one solution for patients to be free from the ambiguous conditions of liminal stage. Choosing to go to a traditional healer healing is a rational choice for each patient.]]>

<![CDATA[Penelitian ini bertujuan menggali makna yang terkandung dalam ritual mengorbankan kerbau dalam ritus kematian pada agama Marapu. Pengamatan dilakukan pada masyarakat Sumba penganut agama merapu. Fenomena keagamaan dalam masyarakat secara antropologis dapat dilihat dari aras sakral dan profan. Aras sakral menempatkan fenomena keagamaan dalam hubungan vertikal antara manusia dengan tuhan sebagai pemilik kekuatan adikodrati. Sedangkan pada aras profan melihat fenomena keagamaan dalam hubungan horisontal yang terbangun dalam relasi sosial antar pendukungnya. Tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam kehidupan sehari-hari aras sakral dan profan tidaklah terpisah sama sekali. Aktifitas yang tampaknya profan ternyata terkait dengan wilayah sakral seperti yang terjadi pada masyarakat Sumba. Keberadaan ternak khususnya kerbau menjadi penghubung antara wilayah sakral dan profan. Memelihara ternak, khususnya kerbau merupakan aktifitas sehari-hari yang bersifat profan namun menjadi sakral manakala kerbau hadir dalam ritual kematian. Sehingga secara nyata aktifitas profan dalam memelihara ternak khususnya kerbau akan menjamin tetap tegaknya agama Marapu. The objective of this study is to reveal the meaning behind the sacrifice of buffalo in the death rituals of Merapu religion. The observation was done among Sumba community, the followers of Merapu religion. Religious phenomena in the anthropological community can be seen from the sacred and profane dimension. In sacred level, religious phenomenon builds the vertical relationship between man and God as the owner of supernatural power. While the level of profane views religious phenomena in a horizontal relationship built within particular social relations. This paper shows that in the level of everyday life, the sacred and the profane are not separated at all as best exemplified by Sumba community ritual of buffalo sacrifice. Seemingly profane activities were related to the sacred as exemplified by Sumba people particularly the followers of Merapu belief. The presence of livestock especially buffaloes became a liaison between the sacred and the profane. Livestock, particularly buffalo are daily profane activities, but when the buffalo are present in the death ritual, they become sacred. Profane activities in raising livestock especially the buffalo ensures the upholding of Marapu belief.]]>

<![CDATA[In the current era of globalism penetration, many local communities face challenge especially in the existence of their local knowledge and wisdom. The younger generation began to move away from various locality systems as a result of the intervention of industrialism, modern education and global information exposure. Therefore, an effort to generate local knowledge around the lives of young people is needed so that their lives are not uprooted from the roots of cultural history and local wealth which is actually still very much needed in facing life's challenges. This article is the result of a research conducted on the community of Banyutowo Village, Dukuhseti Subdistrict, Pati Regency in an effort to develop local potential and knowledge through a community school for fishermen's children. The purpose of this article is to explain how maritime knowledge can be developed in fishermen's children through film designed by the children themselves. The study uses qualitative methods with a participatory approach and action research. The results of the study show that using camera to make films about maritime localities in the village directly involving the children provides space for them to know, feel, and reflect themselves in the maritime knowledge of their village communities.]]>
