Abstract

This study examines the construction of Raden Kamandaka's representation as a historical figure and a legend. Stuart Hall's representation theory technique is applied in this descriptive qualitative study. This theory defines representation as the process of establishing meaning through language, symbols, and cultural practices. The results of the study reveal that Kamandaka is represented in two different ways. From a historical perspective, Kamandaka is shown as a real person whose existence is supported by familial descent. One of the proofs is genealogical documents owned by local cultural elites such as Budi Sasongko, which prove Kamandaka's connection to the Sundanese Galuh and Pajajaran royal lines. From a legendary perspective, Kamandaka is represented through a narrative full of symbolism, such as the transformation into Lutung Kasarung, meditation in Alas Kabunan, and a love affair with Dewi Ciptarasa. This narrative reflects local values ​​that are rich in spiritual meaning, heroism, and social relations. This study concludes that the representation of Kamandaka, both as a historical figure and a legend, results from a cultural construction that integrates facts and myths. In Stuart Hall's perspective, Kamandaka is not a fixed entity but rather a narrative product that continues to develop and is negotiated by the Banyumas community through various symbols and cultural practices. This process strengthens Kamandaka's role as a significant element of local identity, both in the context of history and collective myth.

Abstract

The Dayak Maanyan community recognizes two types of languages. The language used daily and the language used in traditional rituals. The language used in the ritual is arranged in the form of paired clauses with similar meanings. This article will examine the meaning relation between words in the paired clauses. The research was conducted in the East Barito district, Central Kalimantan province. This study's data collection area is the East Hamlet District in Jaar Village. Documentation of data in ritual leader utterances is done by transcribing recorded speeches during the ritual and recordings during direct interviews with ritual leaders to obtain the entire content of the ritual speech. Based on the results of data analysis from 840 pairs of transcribed clauses, The researcher found that the relation of synonymous meaning dominated the relation of meaning between the two clauses. The researcher also found the meaning relationship between class inclusion and meronymy and case relation. The pattern of meaning relations formed from the words in the paired clauses is that a is equal to b, b is a type of a, a is a component of b, a is a member of b, place b is part of the area of a, b is made of a, a has b, a is related to b, a is b, a does b, a becomes b, does a is accepted by b, does a uses b, does a aims to b.
