Abstract

The tendency of every adherent of a religion or a sect of belief, it acknowledged or not, is fanaticism. It seems that there is not a single believer who will say that his religion is worse than any other religion. Every adherent of a religion will tend to defend their respective religions. Even if there is a difference, it only lies in the level of moderation; one is more open, while the other is more closed. In the book The Sacred Canopy: Elements of a Sociological Theory of Religion, Berger seeks to understand how religious belief is shaped at the individual and social levels. Furthermore, he wants to say, of course, latently, that religion is like a shell or canopy, which makes its adherents feel safe but at the same time, it is difficult to see other values that exist outside the spectrum of values of the truth of their religion. The nature of the religious belief system creates perspective restrictions and ideological tendencies. Berger's thoughts on the sociology of religion are still relevant today, especially in the context of a pluralistic Indonesian society in the context of caring for diversity. This research method is qualitative, with literacy study techniques that refer to Berger's works, as well as through literacy studies of other relevant writings. The results of this research are expected to enrich theoretical studies for sociology scholars, especially those interested in the sociology of religion.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the symbolic interaction in traditional medicine of the Sungai Guntung community. The traditional treatment in question is the administration of salt acid. Giving salt acid from the patient to the shaman is still preserved and believed by the community as the key to treatment. The theory used to analyse is Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The determination of informants was carried out by purposive sampling technique or method. Based on the results of this study, the Sungai Guntung Village community still practises traditional medicine. This research resulted in the finding that the administration of salt acid is a spiritual phenomenon where the illness comes from physical, psychological and magical sources. The meaning of tradition depends on social interaction, so the continuity of meaning is also very dependent on changes in social interaction. The symbolic interaction in this treatment is reflected in the symbol of bonding between the shaman and the patient, the symbol of the patient's trust in the shaman, the symbol of gratitude from the patient to the shaman, the symbol of the key to treatment, the symbol of the belief that illness and treatment are spiritual phenomena.

Abstract

Today's culture or tradition is filled with cultural values or local wisdom and has economic and political content. It causes the opening of space for cultural capitalization that prioritizes selling or exchanging values and not using values. The study aims to explore the cultural commodification that occurs in the Bau Nyale tradition in the Sasak NTB community, including the existence of the Bau Nyale tradition, the commodification of Bau Nyale, to the value transformation and shifting in the Bau Nyale tradition in the Sasak NTB community. This study is qualitative research with primary data sources, namely community leaders such as Adat and the Sasak people in general. The data obtained through interviews, books, and articles are then interpreted using the commodity approach of Karl Marx. The analysis results show that the Bau Nyale tradition in the Sasak community today is not just a tradition of catching Nyale (sea worms) for the Sasak people. More than that, the Bau Nyale tradition has various dimensions and goals, including economics. In this case, Bau Nyale has become a secondary activity as an activity or tradition that follows the primary activity, namely economic activity. The commodification that occurs in the Bau Nyale tradition in the Sasak community causes a shift in orientation and even raises social problems such as gambling, fights, and even murder cases.
