Abstract

In fishing communities, there are social classes that have diametrically different interests, namely local capital owners (capitalists), boat owners (punggawa) and ship crew. This reality creates resistance between classes which is very difficult to solve. The purpose of this writing consists of two: firstly, to describe the form of capitalist hegemony over Bajo fishermen and secondly, to describe the resistance of Bajo fishermen to capitalist hegemony. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. This research was conducted in the Aru Islands district. The type of data consists of primary data and secondary data. Primary data collection was carried out through observation and in-depth interviews. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained by searching literature sourcing from printed books, ebooks, online and printed journals. Management and presentation of data is done by means of data reduction, data analysis, and data presentation in a holistic-integrative manner and drawing conclusions. The results show that the fishermen group consisting of boat voters (punggawa) resisted the local capital owners (capitalists) in the form of buying other people's shipping and fishing needs and selling their catch secretly. This phenomenon is largely determined by the knowledge, feelings and suffering of fishermen as a predisposing factor to respond to and to evaluate the reality of capitalist hegemony because they have suffered too long and lived within a dehumanization frame.

Abstract

Small-scale fisheries in Indonesia significantly contribute to coastal economies and food security, yet women fishers remain marginalized due to limited access to capital, markets, and restrictive gender norms. This study analyzes how Kumpulan Usaha Bersama (KUB), or collective enterprises, function as platforms for women's empowerment in Talisayan Village, Berau Regency, East Kalimantan. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document reviews. The analysis applied Talcott Parsons' AGIL framework and Berger & Luckmann's social constructivist theory. The findings reveal that KUB functions as: (1) an adaptation mechanism to economic pressures by providing access to microfinance, savings schemes, and livelihood diversification; (2) a means of goal attainment by enhancing household income and women's economic independence; (3) a space of integration that strengthens social solidarity, trust networks, and community social capital; and (4) an agent of latency that fosters normative change and expands women's leadership roles. Women reconstruct their identities from marginal workers to recognized economic actors through internalization, externalization, and objectivation. This study concludes that KUB improves household welfare, enhances socio-ecological resilience, and creates spaces for gender equality in coastal communities. Academically, the study expands the application of the AGIL framework and social constructivism in gender and fisheries studies. Practically, it recommends institutional strengthening, market access, and technological support as strategies for inclusive and sustainable coastal development
