Abstract

One important effort in developing character education based on local wisdom is the rediscovery and exploration of folktales that are scattered and preserved among ethnic groups throughout the Indonesian archipelago. The Bugis ethnic group is one of the communities that possesses a rich collection of folktales. Bugis folktales are traditional literary works born from the spiritual experiences and imagination of their creators. Nevertheless, these stories have also played a significant role in shaping the life journey of the Bugis people and humanity in general. More importantly, Bugis folktales are not merely traditional literary works but also serve as a source of moral teachings. Moral values such as honesty, perseverance, obedience, mutual respect and appreciation, mutual reminder, compassion, patience, and others can be found in various folktales. These moral messages have the potential to serve as references for character formation within the Bugis community and even for national character development. This study is expected to be beneficial for both the Bugis ethnic community and Indonesian society in general, particularly in the context of character formation based on local wisdom. Revealing the meanings and values embedded in each folktale is expected to contribute significantly to the development of character education.

Abstract

Local wisdom is understood as local policy (local wisdom), local knowledge (local knowledge), or local intelligence (local genius). It may be interpreted as the product of human intellect, deep feelings, character, behavioral patterns, and moral guidance aimed at achieving human dignity. Mastery of local wisdom elevates individuals toward noble character. The concept of local wisdom held by the Selayar community is partially implemented in dideq oral texts. These concepts need to be documented, revitalized, and disseminated so that they continue to live within the community to which they belong and become part of individual character formation not only for the Selayar people, but also for the wider community of South Sulawesi and Indonesian society in general. This study aims to reveal concepts of local wisdom, particularly the attitudes of sipakatau, sipakaingaq, and sipakalabbiriq found in dideqoral literature. The primary data were collected through field research using recording, interviews, transliteration, and translation techniques. Data analysis was conducted based on Roland Barthes’ concepts of denotative and connotative meaning. The results of the study indicate that sipakatau and sipakalabbiriq are two inseparable values. Mutual respect and mutual appreciation coexist and strongly characterize the life of the Selayar community, as clearly reflected in dideq texts. Meanwhile, sipakaingaq represents an attitude of mutual reminder among community members, manifested in behavior, speech, and religious observance.
