Abstract

IKHTISAR: Di negara-negara Teluk, tradisi pembacaan syair masih tetap dilakukan, seperti terlihat dalam tayangan kenegaraan mereka di televisi Al-Jazerah, Dubai TV, dan Emiratiyah TV, atau di pentas-pentas pertunjukan yang lebih populer. Tentunya tradisi itu juga ada dan sampai pada masyarakat di wilayah Yaman (Hadramaut), yang juga bagian dari masyarakat yang mendiami sebagian wilayah Timur Tengah (Jazirah Arabia) bagian Selatan. Masyarakat Arab Hadramaut dikenal sebagai masyarakat diaspora yang berkelana dan menetap di berbagai wilayah lain, termasuk kemudian sampai juga ke Indonesia. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji tradisi bersyair masyarakat Arab di daerah Pesisir Utara Pulau Jawa serta juga memperhatikan alasan menghilangnya tradisi tersebut dalam kehidupan mereka. Dalam artikel ini dibahas satu syair peninggalan seorang penyair keturunan Arab dari Cirebon, Jawa Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadinya perubahan dalam stratifikasi dan profesi di masyarakat Arab pada akhirnya melenyapkan tradisi bersyair tersebut. Selain itu, bisa juga diakibatkan oleh adanya hambatan kondisi budaya dan zaman yang berbeda pada masyarakat keturunan Arab sendiri yang sudah lama menetap di Pulau Jawa.  KATA KUNCI: Tradisi bersyair, masyarakat keturunan Arab, pesisir Utara pulau Jawa, perubahan sosial, dan pendidikan modern.ABSTRACT: This article entitled “The Missing Poetry Tradition of Arab Descent Communities in the North Coast of Java Island”.
