Abstract

Abstract: This article attempts to reconstruct and analyse the Habermas’ view on democracy as discourse and deliberation. The concept of deliberative and discursive democracy is a model of criticism toward an attempt to narrow the conception about democracy simply as an institutional matter. The concept of deliberative democracy emphasizes the importance of public discursive participation of citizens by establishing critical public sphere that is the heart of democracy. Furthermore, Habermas highlights that there is no rule of law without radical democracy. Such radical democracy is expressed through the active involvement of citizens in public sphere to express ideas that have impact on political decisions and public policy. This article accentuates that the transformation of public opinion to be a political power is an ongoing process. Therefore, an authentic democracy presupposes a critical publicity and democratic political culture. Without a voluntary citizens’ initiative in this regard, a state will have no future. To support thisarguments, the writer uses literature research method by analyzing the main work of Jȕrgen Habermas on deliberative democracy namely Faktizitӓt und Geltung (Facts and Norms), as well as some secondary literatures dealing with the thoughts of Habermas on democracy.Keywords: Habermas, deliberative democracy, discourse, pluralism, state

Abstract

This article aims to examine how the Ile Boleng people in Adonara, East Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, accord a central and special place to the “bak” (ferrocement tank) within their life. This treatment is revealed in the ritual stages of “Tula Bak” (the construction of “bak”). This study aims to describe and interpret it. The study, conducted using a qualitative approach, namely literature review, observation, and interviews in September 2024, resulted in one main finding that the ritual of “Tula Bak” parallel with the ritual of “Tula Uma Lango” (the contruction of dwelling house) in Lamaholot community. Through this parallelism, the “bak” acquires a sacred object and seems to possess spiritual power like a house. For the Lamaholot people, the house is not merely a place of residence; it is also a site of protection, a source of strength, and a wellspring of the spirit of life. Accordingly, this study is expected to contribute to society by helping preserve its culture and promoting a water-saving lifestyle amid the increasingly significant crisis of clean water scarcity.
