Abstract

Tradition is a habit that is passed down from generation to generation, including various cultural values which include customs, belief systems, and so on. In this case the tradition of cutting the finger in the Dani tribe is a tradition that is quite extreme, but it still survives to this day and makes me interested to find out what meaning is contained in this tradition. The problem in this research is how is the tradition of cutting fingers in the Dani tribe and what is the meaning of cutting fingers that makes this tradition still maintained? The purpose of this study is to find out how the tradition of cutting fingers in the Dani tribe and what is the meaning of cutting fingers in the Dani tribe that makes this tradition still being maintained. This study uses the theory of symbolic interactionism. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, documentation. The informants in this study totaled 11 people consisting of 1 tribal chief, 1 village head, 2 traditional elders and 7 community leaders, who had an important role or who carried out the Finger Cutting Tradition. The results of this study indicate that the finger-cutting tradition is a quite extreme tradition in which this tradition is carried out by cutting off parts of the human body (fingers to hands) to make a symbol. Cutting your own finger is done directly without a good medical examination to ensure the person's health before carrying out the finger cutting tradition. What they did after hearing the sad news was to immediately tie the finger or hand that was going to be cut off using a rope until the hand or finger was no longer felt, then they would immediately cut it off with a sharp tool such as a knife or machete which they thought was sharp and could be used for cut. Even after cutting their fingers or hands, they immediately cover the wound with soft soil and wrap it in leaves and then tie it using the used cloth they have. Even after cutting their finger they did not carry out treatment through a medical team or something like that, they only used soft soil, leaves and makeshift cloth until the wound healed. They also cut their fingers without using special tools and not in special places. The Dani people are quite fanatical in that they believe that by simply cutting their finger they can avoid the calamity and bad luck that befalls them in the form of family grief and successive illnesses in the family. It is proven that the finger-cutting tradition has several meanings in it, including social meaning or a symbol of affection for their loved ones such as from husband to wife, parents to children or vice versa, religious meaning or belief in something, cultural and moral meaning. or a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation to the present day. They think that if they don't do it, they will no longer be respected by family members who have carried out the tradition. However, this meaning is still not recognized and understood by the current generation, so the researchers suggest that the community, the government's traditional elders continue to preserve this finger-cutting tradition properly so that it can be passed on to future generations and all Dani people, especially in the village of Sanoba. in order to maintain and maintain this tradition.

This study aims to understand and analyze the socio-economic lives of seaweed farmers in Bo'a Village. This study employs a qualitative research method, utilizing purposive sampling as the sampling technique. This research employs Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory. We collected data by observing the farmers' activities. Additionally, we conducted in-depth interviews with informants to gain insight into the socio-economic life of seaweed farmers. The data analysis technique in this study is qualitative descriptive. The socio-economic life of seaweed farmers is the result of this research; by becoming seaweed farmers, they are able to generate resources to meet their living needs, including their children's education. They are able to send their children to school even up to the university/undergraduate level. The income from seaweed farming is sufficient to meet their needs, but there are also additional earnings that can help fulfill them. Despite considering seaweed farming as their primary occupation, seaweed farmers also engage in side jobs during their free time and off-seasons. They are also able to purchase several household assets that facilitate activities and provide comfort for their families.

Abstract

Lavender marriage, a term referring to a heterosexual marriage arranged as a cover to hide the non-heterosexual sexual orientation of one or both partners, has become an interesting phenomenon to analyze in a heteronormative social context. This article examines how social pressure and heteronormative norms influence an individual's decision to engage in a lavender marriage and how this impacts the construction of sexual and gender identities. This analysis reveals that lavender marriages not only reflect an attempt to maintain sexual privacy in a repressive social environment but also serve as a tool to maintain social status in a society that marginalizes non-heterosexual identities.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of inclusive development in reducing social exclusion, with a case study of street vendors in Tedis Beach, Kupang City. Inclusive development is an approach that emphasizes equal opportunities for all groups of society, especially the marginalized. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that street vendors in Tedis Beach face various challenges, such as limited access to business space and capital. However, the government has implemented supportive policies, including providing basic facilities and participation in development. In addition, the inclusive development approach creates opportunities for street vendors through economic empowerment and recognition of their contribution to the local economy. This research concludes that inclusive development positively reduces social exclusion by empowering street vendors, improving access to resources, and integrating them into urban planning. Recommendations are given to enhance regulations that support and ensure street vendors' participation in every development stage.
