Abstract

Identity is a social construction. The Moluccan people are evident of this structure, especially regarding the policy of the obligation to wear cele (Moluccan traditional garment). This has become a process of identity construction involving culture and ethnicity for Moluccans. This paper discusses how Moluccan scholars who studied in Java understand their position wearing cele in the local context in Maluku. In addition, this paper also discusses the scholars’ views on how the process of identity negotiation between localism and nationalism is represented through cele and batik. Information for this study was gathered using a qualitative method with a cultural studies approach. The data were collected using several techniques including interviews, observation, and literature studies to answer research questions and problems. This paper shows that in response to the Moluccan government policy which requires the people to wear cele once a week, most scholars prefer to wear batik instead. One justification is related to cultural and religious aspects, noting cele is more familiar and originates from within the Christian community, while the Islamic community does not recognize cele in their culture. They consider that such policy leads to the construction of cultural identity based on false consciousness.

Abstract

This paper examines how the moral emotions, i.e. pride and shame, are formed and manifested within the Bugis community’s Siri’ culture, especially through its three main values: sipakatau, sipakainge, and sipakalebbi. In sipakatau, the status of the person is dominant, and personal dignity and honor are maintained. According to sipakatau, the spirit of reciprocal respect between human beings known as sipakainge comes out. Moreover, in sipakalebbi, respect and appreciation are the basis of advising and reminding each other, so that the life of the community is in harmony.  These three values are an inseparable unity in the Siri’ culture that is maintained in the Bugis communal life, which creates the moral emotions of pride and shame. Pride is the ethical feeling that forms the foundation of self-awareness of a person to appreciate himself (sipakatau), which in turn forms the foundation of the Bugis community in establishing harmonious interpersonal relations. Personal dignity affects the respect of others, which is expressed in harmonious and equal social relations.  Shame, guilt, and embarrassment are the forces that work together with the realization of pride in sipakatau, sipakainge, and sipakalebbi. The moral emotions of shame, guilt, and embarrassment become integrated as mechanisms to safeguard pride as a Bugis person, ensuring that the pride of being Bugis is internalized throughout an individual’s life.
