Abstract

Marriages between aristocratic women and commoners in Suradadi Village, Terara Subdistrict, East Lombok Regency, are regulated by strict Sasak customs. Aristocratic women are required to marry partners of equal social status; otherwise, they risk losing inheritance rights and expulsion from the aristocratic group. Conversely, aristocratic men may marry women from either aristocratic or commoner backgrounds. This study investigates the customs and consequences associated with marriages between aristocratic women and commoners in the village. A qualitative exploratory methodology was utilized, with data gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation. Participants included the village head, community leaders, youth leaders, and local residents. The findings indicate two primary consequences: first, children born to aristocratic women who marry commoners assume their father's social status and forfeit aristocratic titles; second, inheritance from the aristocratic family is lost if a woman marries a commoner. These results offer insight into the influence of Sasak customs on social status and inheritance rights within the community.

Abstract

This study examines Karapan Kerbau, a traditional water buffalo race in East Lombok, as a cultural symbol reflecting the values and identity of the local community. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research utilizes Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory as its analytical framework. The analysis centers on the symbolic meanings within the Karapan Kerbau tradition, addressing denotative and connotative interpretations as well as the societal myths that emerge. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Karapan Kerbau serves not only as a traditional race but also as a cultural representation embodying masculinity, courage, prestige, solidarity, and social identity. At the denotative level, Karapan Kerbau is characterized as a race involving a pair of buffaloes, each guided by a jockey along a muddy track. Connotatively, the tradition signifies the social status of buffalo owners, collective pride, and the community’s connection to agrarian life. At the mythic level, Karapan Kerbau operates as a cultural narrative that reinforces social harmony, local wisdom, and the preservation of ancestral traditions. Consequently, Karapan Kerbau functions as a dynamic cultural text that continually constructs and reproduces social meanings within East Lombok society.

Abstract

This study investigates the persistence of social stratification based on noble titles within the Sasak community of Pengembur Village, Central Lombok, in the context of significant modernisation. Noble titles such as Lalu and Baiq have historically served not only as indicators of genealogical lineage but also as key determinants of social structure, interaction patterns, and societal norms. Over time, with rising educational standards and evolving economic orientations, the meaning and function of these noble titles have transformed. The aim of this research is to describe the current forms of traditional social stratification and to analyse the impact of modernisation on their structure and function. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with customary (adat) leaders and community members, and documentation. The findings reveal that social stratification in Pengembur Village comprises three main strata: ninggrat (nobility), pranguase (middle class), and jajar karang (commoners). Noble titles remain significant as markers of cultural identity, influencing linguistic etiquette (base krame) and customary practices such as the Sorong Serah Aji Krame. However, modernisation has shifted the criteria for social status from ascribed (innate) to achieved (attained through education and economic success). As a result, social stratification in the Sasak community has become more inclusive and fluid, with vertical social relations giving way to more egalitarian horizontal interactions, while still retaining the moral values associated with nobility.

Abstract

This article systematically investigates the implementation of the Ngurisan tradition, the forms of social interaction within the Sasak community, and the socio-cultural values embedded in this practice in Mentokok Hamlet, Penujak Village, Praya Barat District, Central Lombok Regency. The Ngurisan tradition, a customary first-haircut ritual for infants, is preserved by the Sasak people as an expression of gratitude for childbirth and serves as a mechanism for strengthening social cohesion and preserving local cultural heritage. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, the study collects empirical data through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The analysis is grounded in Max Weber’s theory of Social Action, which provides a sociological framework for interpreting the subjective meanings of community interactions. The findings indicate that the Ngurisan tradition is conducted through a series of communal feasts (begawe), requiring active participation from the community throughout all stages of preparation and ceremony. Observed socio-cultural interactions include cooperation (gotong royong), communal deliberation, kinship reinforcement, and religious integration through collective prayers and dzikir. The tradition is closely associated with spiritual, social, and moral values that support the intergenerational transmission of cultural identity among the Sasak people.

Abstract

This article examines the Peraq Api tradition, a birth and baby naming ritual practiced by the Sasak tribe, particularly in Beraim Village, Central Lombok Regency. The tradition is deeply rooted in social, cultural, and religious values that embody the local community's identity. Despite ongoing modernization and social change, the Peraq Api tradition persists through various adaptive strategies, making it a significant subject for sociological inquiry. Employing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Peraq Api procession comprises several stages: pre-ritual activities such as the burial of the placenta, the core ritual of extinguishing the fire, and the Ngurisan (hair shaving) ceremony. Through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's theory of social practice, Peraq Api demonstrates a dynamic interaction among habitus, capital, and the social field. Although the tradition has been simplified and now incorporates Islamic prayers, it continues to serve as a spiritual protection mechanism and remains a vital element of Sasak cultural identity.

Abstract

This article explores the social motifs of the Sasak community underlying the Daus Gong tradition in Bonjeruk Village, Jonggat District, Central Lombok Regency. The Daus Gong tradition is a sacred purification ritual for the gendang beleq musical instruments, preserved for generations by the local community. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were systematically gathered through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving traditional leaders, community figures, and gendang beleq musicians (sekahe). The analysis utilized the interactive model by Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the community's social motifs in conducting the Daus Gong tradition include spiritual and symbolic purification, the maintenance of social harmony, conflict prevention, cultural preservation, the strengthening of social solidarity, and the enhancement of the community's economy through cultural tourism. Furthermore, based on Max Weber's theory of social action, the tradition reflects value-oriented rational action, traditional action, affective action, and instrumental rational action. The Daus Gong tradition functions not only as a vessel for cultural and spiritual values but also as a crucial social adhesive that strengthens interpersonal relationships and ensures the sustainability of the Sasak community's social life in Bonjeruk Village.

Abstract

The intersection of cultural heritage and traditional health practices is a critical focal point for understanding indigenous societies. This article examines the Melala tradition, a traditional oil-making ritual practiced by the Samawa tribe in Goa Village, West Sumbawa, Indonesia. Conducted exclusively during the Islamic month of Muharram by a traditional healer known as a sandro, the practice currently faces existential threats from modernization and generational disengagement. This study analyzes the socio-cultural dynamics of Melala through the frameworks of George Herbert Mead and Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism and Max Weber's Theory of Social Action. The findings reveal profound symbolic meanings embedded in the ritual, such as the use of odd numbers to symbolize divine oneness and the stirring of boiling oil as a manifestation of spiritual focus (khusyu'). Additionally, the tradition fosters community cohesion through cooperative interaction, cultural exchange, and covert spiritual competition. Ultimately, the Melala festival functions as an evolutionary and functionalist mechanism for the community to negotiate identity, preserve local wisdom, and stimulate the local economy.

Abstract

Globalization and rapid modernization frequently pose significant threats to indigenous traditions and local cultural identities. Despite these transformative global influences, the Sasak people of Pene Village, Jerowaru District, East Lombok, continue to preserve the Pene Lando traditional ritual. This article examines the ritualistic processes of Pene Lando and analyzes the underlying rationalities that motivate the community to maintain this cultural practice, employing Max Weber's Social Action Theory as an analytical framework. Through a qualitative methodology incorporating sociological and phenomenological approaches, the study finds that the ritual's preservation results from a complex interplay of traditional, value-rational, instrumental-rational, and affective actions. Traditional action emerges as the most dominant factor, rooted in ancestral reverence. Additionally, the ritual embodies significant social, religious, and cultural values that strengthen community cohesion, spiritual gratitude, and cultural identity. The findings demonstrate that tradition and modernity are not inherently incompatible; instead, traditional communities adaptively employ social rationalities to protect their heritage from the homogenizing effects of globalization.
