Abstract

This article discusses the local beliefs, the characteristics and cultural identity as well as the socio-religious rituals of Ciomas society. It is a field research using ethnographical method based on anthropological perspective. To analyze the data, the researcher uses structural-functional approach. The finding shows the champion character of jawara is frequently identified with negative labels by several authors such as Willams and Kartodirdjo. The fame of Golok Ciomas that has historical and cultural values for Bantenese society in general is also often referred to champion figures who are rude, valiant, and act like a criminal. As a matter of fact, for majority of Bantenese society, such distinctive characteristics have more positive meanings that were inherited by their ancestors and they still possess religious values maintained up to the present. Artikel ini mengkaji sistem kepercayaan lokal, karakteristik dan identitas kultural masyarakat, serta ritual sosial keagamaan masyarakat Ciomas. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian lapangan dengan menggunakan metode ethnografi dengan menggunakan pendekatan antropologis. Dalam menganalisa data, peneliti menggunakan pendekatan fungsional-struktural. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa “karakter jawara” seringkali oleh beberapa penulis seperti Williams dan Kartodirdjo digambarkan dengan label-label negatif. Popularitas Golok Ciomas yang memiliki nilai historis dan kultural bagi masyarakat Banten secara umum juga seringkali disandingkan dengan sosok jawara yang terkenal dengan sikapnya yang keras, berani, dan suka berbuat kriminal. Padahal, bagi sebagian besar masyarakat Ciomas sendiri karakteristik-karakteristik khas tersebut sebenarnya memiliki makna yang lebih positif yang diwariskan oleh nenek moyang dan masih memiliki nilai-nilai religius yang masih dipertahankan hingga saat ini.
