Abstract

Ma'badong is a communal lament sung in a circular formation at the Toraja tribe's death ceremony (Rambu Solo'), serving as an expression of grief. Ma'badong is conducted following the slaughter of a tedong (water buffalo) in a quantity corresponding with the social rank of the deceased. Ma'badong is considered not only a symbolic gesture but also an endeavor to preserve and promote Toraja culture. This study aims to examine the contextualization of Ma'badong from the perspective of cultural production and its implications on the development of church music in Toraja. This research is characterized as descriptive and qualitative. This study examines the art of Ma'badong as portrayed in the Rambu Solo’ ceremony in Toraja, particularly in the Gandangbatu Sillanan District of Tana Toraja Regency. The analysis of the issues in this study is grounded in Pierre Bourdieu's theory, which is The Field of Cultural Production theory. The results of this study indicate that Pa'badong representatives, serving as both agents and traditional musicians in church music services, generate cultural practices appreciated by the Toraja community and church congregation members. The habitus of the Toraja community (Ma'badong) is shaped and regulated by agents based on the capital they hold, which enables them to exert dominance in the field of Toraja art, encompassing church music as well. The field controlled by agents is classified as an elite or limited cultural sub-field. Ma'badong's implications for the development of church music in Toraja are the production of several ethnic-nuance congregational songs that incorporate its musical patterns and features. The incorporation of Ma'badong musical components has emerged as a significant characteristic of the Toraja Church, transforming congregational singing into a medium for expressing the local community's identity.

Abstract

The marital crises in contemporary society increasingly expose the fragility of commitment, intimacy, and mutual responsibility within husband–wife relationships. Against this backdrop, this study aims to examine Song of Songs 2:16 as a biblical text that articulates an alternative paradigm of exclusive and reciprocal marital intimacy. Employing a literary method and exegetical analysis of the Hebrew text, this research focuses on the poetic structure, key lexical expressions, and relational imagery within the verse. The analysis shows that the reciprocal phrase "My beloved is mine, and I am his" sets up a covenantal model of relationship in which closeness is based on mutual belonging, exclusive faithfulness, and shared responsibility. Furthermore, the image of the beloved as “who grazes among the lilies” underscores the husband’s active role as a caring and responsible presence in the relationship. This study concludes that Song of Songs 2:16 provides a deep and helpful framework for today's marriages, pushing back against modern ideas of commitment that depend on conditions by basing marital closeness on a belief in unconditional, shared, and responsible belonging.
