Abstract

The Bugis people have a social stratification system that is inherited from generation to generation, where a person's social status is determined more by genealogical factors compared to the accumulation of material wealth. This study aims to analyse the relationship between descent and social status in the Bugis community and explore how gold jewellery functions as a symbol of prestige for women. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation in Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi. This study applies triangulation techniques by combining in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, as well as time triangulation, to avoid temporal bias. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman approach through three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results of the study show that in the Bugis community, the social stratification system is still based on lineage, while gold functions more as a status symbol for those who already have a certain social position, rather than as a tool of social mobility. The symbolism of gold jewellery is subject to established social structures, so the prestige gained through gold is not strong enough to shift the social stratification that has been inherited.

Abstract

As cultural homogenization grows and local identities begin to fade, preserving oral traditions plays a more vital role in keeping communities connected. This study aims to examine the uniqueness and relevance of the pepaccur tradition in strengthening social ties within the Lampung community. This research employs a qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach. Data were gathered through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional practitioners, and a review of relevant literature. The analysis was conducted using interactive analysis techniques to explore the symbolic meanings and social functions embedded in the tradition. The findings indicate that pepaccur serves not only as a medium of customary communication but also as a unifying instrument that bridges diverse social groups through shared values, mutual respect, and cooperation. These findings have implications for social science education by highlighting the pedagogical value of integrating local traditions to promote understanding of social cohesion, identity, and cultural sustainability. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on pepaccur as a culturally embedded practice that contributes to the theoretical and practical discourse on local wisdom as a foundation for social harmony in multicultural settings.
