Abstract

This dissertation discusses the representation of the Divine and human being imagery in theentity of ritus Sa’o Ngaza in the village of Guru Sina in Ngada Regency, Flores. The empiricproblems of this dissertasion are connected with the marginalized phenomenon of the local religionthat submerged in the entity of ritus Sa’o Ngaza and its ritual practices. This probelm is relevant tobe investigated from the perspectives cultural studies.The problems raised in this study are : 1) the representation of the Divine and human beingimagery in the entity of ritus Sa’o Ngaza, 2) the representation of the relationhip between the Divineand human being in ritual practices of Sa’o Ngaza, and 3) the meaning of the representation of theDivine and human being imagery in the entity of ritus Sa’o Ngaza. This study applies the qualitativemethod and the data collection was done using techniques of intensive interview, participationobservation,and documentation. The data were analyzed using the theory of ritus, the theory ofprocess,the theory of semiotics, and the theory of deconstruction.The findings of the study can be explained as follows. Firstly, the representation of theDivine imagery is dyadic and triadic. In the dyadic imagery representation, The Divine is depicted as’The Giver of an Unlimited Love and at the same time as ’The Unpredictable Taker of Love’. In thetriadic representation, The Divine is depicted as The Sacred, in the attributive as ‘The Beginning’,‘The End’, and ‘The Present Throughout’. In the dyadic imagery, the human being consists of theelements of the body and the soul, and in the triadic imagery, the human being consists of theelements of the body, the psyche, and the spirit.Secondly, the relation between the Divine and human being is representatively revealed inthe ritual practices of legitimating Sa’o Ngaza. This relation centers in the methapor of relationshipbetween the simbolic body dan the religious body, and affirms the status of human being as ’thewrapper of divinity seed’ and ‘His image’.Thirdly, the meaning of the representation of the Divine and human being imagery in theentity of ritus Sa’o Ngaza is sacral , spiritual, and moral. The sacral value pertains to the dinamicrelationship between the human being and the Divine in a sacral way and the sacral place. TheSpiritual value pertains to the relation intra-human being and his spiritual opened and connectedthrough inner feeling with the One Sacral in the strong effort of making the human being perfect.The moral value pertains to a good relationship among human beings themselves in accordance withtheir norms of community.The findings of the study enrich the theory of process about the concept of the Divine fromWhitehead and contrast with the theory of ritus as the choreography of violence from Smedal. In theentity of ritus Sa’o Ngaza, there is a unique concept of human being in the design of ulu palicarvings, which describes the ideology of leadership in the local tradition. The finding of thisconcept can become the model of implementation of the decostruction theory and the semiotictheory which removes and deconstructs binary opposition between the leader (ulu) and the follower(eko).

Abstract

Tulisan ini ditujukan untuk memberikan konsep pembelajaran bahasa berbasis lingkungan dalam perspektif Ekolinguistik. Perubahan lingkungan kebahasaan, tentu juga lingkungan sosial, kemanusiaan, dan kebudayaan, patut dikaji secara kritis. Demikian pula perkembangan budaya media khususnya, dan perubahan tata nilai kehidupan yang “sangat mendunia” ini perlu dicermati, disikapi, dan dievaluasi kembali secara lebih dalam. Kehidupan ini memang selalu berubah dan berkembang ke tingkat peradaban dan kebudayaan yang lebih tinggi. Akan tetapi, ke arah manakah hidup ini bergerak dan berubah, (secara khusus perubahan peran dan fungsi bahasa serta sikap para pemakainya), itulah sesungguhnya yang perlu direnungkan dan dievaluasi. Pembelajaran bahasa berbasis lingkungan diupayakan agar keanekabahasaan dan juga keberagaman bahasa yang merepresentasikan keanekaragaman hayati di lingkungan tertentu, dapat menjadi sumber penulisan dan upaya pelestarian bahasa-bahasa lokal, bahasa Indonesia, dan penguasaan bahasa asing. Melalui pembelajaran bahasa-bahasa yang berbasis lingkungan itu, peserta didik memulihkan kembali interaksi, interelasi, dan interdependensi dengan lingkungan hidup mereka, sekaligus mencegah gejala ketidakberakaran hidup mereka. Kata kunci: pembelajaran bahasa, perspektif ekolinguistik

The method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative with note-taking technique. The research data is formed of vocabulary in BMR and BS obtained from various written sources and informant interviews. Based on 200 Swadesh words for BMR and BS, there are 12,5%, namely 25 identical pairs words. This data proves that BMR and BS are not closely related because the vocabulary similarities are less than 36% or part of the sub-grouping. Vowel relatives couples different by 16 data or about 18%; 3 relatives couples have different pairs of consonants or about 1.5%; 5 relatives couples or about 2.5% who have one syllable difference; and 9 relatives couples or about 4.5% who have one consonant phoneme difference. The results of the study found that the percentage of kinship between the two languages ??was 29% which indicated that the BMR and BS were the languages ??of the family from one family (stock).BMR and BS are thought to be the same prelanguage around 2,856 years ago and are estimated to have started to separate from their parent languages ??in 833 BC (calculated in 2023)
