Abstract

This study examines the cultural politics of culinary tourism in Makassar City, Indonesia, focusing on how ethnic cuisines function as both cultural representations and economic commodities. Employing a qualitative, interpretive approach grounded in cultural anthropology, the research analyzes secondary data from academic studies, tourism reports, and field observations to explore how authenticity, identity, and power intersect in Makassar’s evolving foodscape. The findings reveal that the city government and private stakeholders strategically promote dishes such as Coto Makassar, Pallubasa, Konro, and Pisang Epe as symbols of local heritage, while other traditional foods remain marginalized. This selective representation reflects institutional power in shaping narratives of authenticity and modernity. Culinary tourism in Makassar simultaneously preserves and commodifies cultural heritage, strengthening urban branding yet risking cultural simplification. Globalization, market adaptation, and the influence of food franchises such as Mie Gacoan further contribute to the homogenization of local cuisine. Nonetheless, local initiatives rooted in Bugis-Makassar culinary traditions continue to assert cultural resilience through the use of traditional ingredients and local wisdom. The study concludes that sustainable culinary tourism in Makassar requires inclusive governance and participatory cultural representation, ensuring that local communities maintain agency in defining their food heritage. Food, therefore, emerges as both sustenance and a medium for negotiating identity, power, and heritage in an increasingly globalized tourism economy.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of secondhand consumption among students at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) through Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological framework. The research aims to uncover the motivational dimensions that shape students’ engagement with secondhand goods as part of their urban lifestyle. Using a qualitative approach and phenomenological design, the study focuses on understanding the subjective meanings behind students’ thrifting behavior. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and social media documentation at several major secondhand markets and thrift shops in Makassar. The analysis, following Schutz’s typifications of “because of motive” and “in order to motive”, revealed four central themes: economic efficiency, self-identity expression, environmental awareness, and the influence of digital communities. Findings indicate that thrifting among UNM students is not merely a cost-saving strategy but a reflective social practice that integrates aesthetic creativity, moral consciousness, and sustainability values. Moreover, social media serves as a cultural catalyst that transforms secondhand consumption into a medium for identity construction and digital participation. The study concludes that thrifting functions as a multidimensional cultural strategy through which students negotiate modernity, sustainability, and self-expression within the dynamic urban culture of Makassar.
