Abstract

This article discusses the Lontaraq Meongpalo Karellae manuscript from an anthropological perspective. The manuscript narrates the story of a cat subjected to violence by humans, leading to the descent of celestial beings known as Dewata Sangiangseri to administer 'retribution' against those who mistreat animals. The manuscript also explores the relationships between humans, nature, and other living beings to foster harmonious coexistence for environmental preservation. This narrative imparts ethical lessons from an anthropological and cultural standpoint.The study employs an anthropological approach to analyze cultural practices among the Bugis community, particularly in maintaining harmony among humans, nature, and the surrounding environment. Through the Maddoja Bine ritual, these practices substantiate how the Lontaraq Meongpalo Karellae manuscript provides concrete implications for Bugis ethnic entities to nurture and care for the environment. Furthermore, this research enables a deeper understanding of the dynamics of traditional Bugis society, especially in the contexts of social interaction, family structure, and inherited cultural values. Oral traditions, myths, and rituals constitute integral aspects of the cultural identity of the community, effectively manifesting as relational entities within historical and environmental contexts, thereby underscoring their relevance in contemporary anthropological studies.

Abstract

This study integrates viewpoints from Vandana Shiva and Maria Mies to investigate Nubian women's responsibilities as agents of cultural, ecological, and linguistic sustainability within an ecofeminist framework. Three interconnected aspects are the subject of the study: their contributions to language preservation, ecological management, and cultural traditions. This study synthesizes knowledge from academic sources on Nubian women's adaptive tactics in the face of socio-ecological disturbances, including the relocation caused by the Aswan High Dam, through a qualitative literature review and thematic analysis. According to the research, Nubian women preserve intangible cultural heritage by striking a balance between modernity and customs like storytelling, rituals, and crafting. Their ecological roles, which include resource management, the use of natural materials, and sustainable agriculture techniques, show how important they are to preserving environmental equilibrium. Linguistically, Nubian women preserve their language through folklore, songs, and everyday communication, ensuring intergenerational transmission of cultural identity. This research underscores the interconnectedness of gender, culture, and ecology, providing a model for cultural resilience and sustainability in marginalized communities globally. The implications extend to broader discussions on sustainable development, gender studies, and strategies for integrating localized resilience into global challenges.

It is considered unique, so many tourists visit. The arrival of tourists from various cultural backgrounds has been going on for more than four decades, to some extent influencing the daily lives of the people of Kampung Naga. The aim of this research is to describe local wisdom related to tourism in the Kampung Naga community. The formulation of the problem is how do the people of Kampung Naga construct local tourism wisdom, and what form does it take? To answer this, a qualitative description method was used, through the stages of observation, interviews and interpretation. The results of the analysis show that the people of Kampung Naga construct local tourism wisdom which is the result of interactions between the culture of the community and the culture of tourists, as well as tourism development carried out in their village. Local tourism wisdom is based on harmonizing relations between tourists and local residents based on kinship and tourism management based on mutual cooperation.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to ascertain the influence of consumer ethnocentrism and the perceived image of a country's products on the purchasing intentions of Indonesian consumers with respect to goods originating from China. The conceptual framework of the study was formulated on the premises of ethnocentrism theory, product image perceptions, and the determinants of consumer purchase intent. This research is a qualitative descriptive research using in-depth interviews with 10 informants. The results of the study reveal that consumer ethnocentrism is attached to the purchase of domestic goods with the assumption that the goods are of high quality and have very competitive price competition with foreign goods. In Indonesia, the people already have a stigma that goods originating from China are indeed cheap. The perception of product image plays a significant role in shaping the intention to purchase imported goods from China. Indonesian enterprises have the opportunity to harness consumer ethnocentrism by designing marketing strategies that foreground nationalistic aspects, highlighting the national identity and features of domestically sold products. These strategies can be deployed as overt messages to increase the efficiency of communication or to enhance the positioning of the company's image.

Abstract

The literary tendency to map and position indigenous people as passive objects can be seen in three domains: (1) a study that maps the identity of indigenous people as something “authentic”; (2) subordinated by dominant groups; and (3) vulnerable to change. This paper places indigenous people as the subject matter where the subject’s perspective is accommodated in understanding their ideas and choices of attitudes and ways of life. This paper aims to (1) answer the question of how the literature defines the identity of indigenous people; (2) showing the misconceptions built by various literatures in interpreting the identity of indigenous people; (3) showing that stereotypes about indigenous people as a construction of thought from those in power. The data source for this article comes from literature in the form of journal articles and books. Two things can be reflected from this study of indigenous people: 1) the identity of indigenous people has been defined unilaterally by other people (outsiders); 2) the tendency of the literature to place indigenous people as passive objects that are static, accepting fate and not contributing to civilization.

Abstract

The growth of tourism villages is a central tenet of Indonesia’s tourism development policy. Nevertheless, based on the number of affected workers, the tourism village is one of the types of Indonesian tourist destinations hardest impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has nearly entirely paralyzed the majority of tourism-related activities in the tourism village of Nglanggeran in Java. However, one unit has remained operational, namely Griya Cokelat, the women-led cocoa processing work unit. This study seeks to examine the situation of female workers in the tourism village during the pandemic, the capacity of women to acquire technology skills to bolster tourism resilience, and the impact of these activities on domestic relationships. The data collection included observing the working conditions of women in the tourism industry during the pandemic, conducting interviews with eleven informants, and examining pertinent literature. As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was discovered that these women have had to learn more keenly how to use technology in order to shift their offline to online sales. Their technological adaptation has helped the tourism village’s resilience efforts.  Women’s ability to use technology—in this example, the Internet—supports the change in gender roles in families.

Abstract

This research examines the cultural and religious interactions between Muslim and Hindu communities in Makam Medana, North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data was collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis with Fritjof Schuon's theory of social esotericism used as the basis for analysis. The results show that the Medana Tomb serves as an important space for social harmony, where both communities engage in shared spiritual and cultural practices. Through inner experiences that transcend religious, cultural and social boundaries, the tomb serves as a bridge that connects different religions through a universal understanding of divine truth that manifests in different outward forms. These interactions facilitate mutual understanding and respect, and contribute to the formation of an inclusive and harmonious society in North Lombok. This research concludes that Makam Medana offers a model of social harmony that is relevant in a multicultural context.

Abstract

This article examines the changes and reconstruction of gender roles in Siri’ na Pacceculture, a tradition rich in cultural and social values, in the modern era. The research employs a qualitative approach using observation, interview and content analysis techniques to gain an in-depth understanding of how gender roles in Siri’ na Pacce Culture have transformed, as well as the challenges and opportunities it faces in the modern era. The results show that Siri’ na Pacce culture has undergone a process of gender role reconstruction influenced by various factors, including globalization, modernization, and evolving social dynamics. Although there have been significant changes in gender perceptions and practices, the tradition also faces challenges in maintaining its cultural values and norms amidst modernization. The study also identifies new opportunities that have emerged in the reconstruction of gender roles in Siri’ na Pacce culture, such as women’s active participation in traditional activities that were previously considered male-dominated, as well as the adoption of more inclusive and egalitarian gender values in society. As such, this article makes an important contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of gender roles in Siri’ na Pacce culture in the modern era, as well as highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced in the reconstruction process. The implications of these findings can guide efforts to preserve and develop sustainable and inclusive local cultures in the future.
