Abstract

This article departs from the view that the dynamics of traditional society are inseparable from upheavals and contradictions based on class and gender. This article aims to conduct an explanatory critique of the uang panai' tradition, which is generally viewed romantically as a tradition that upholds the dignity and honor of women. This article is qualitative research with a critical social science approach. Data was obtained through literature studies, observations, and interviews. This research reveals three things, (1) the current practice of uang panai' tradition tends to reflect gender inequality which is possibly caused by gender construction, that inherently rooted in the notion of siri', (2) Contrary to the romantic view, the practice of uang panai' tradition can be described as a phenomenon of the commodification of women that occurs in the matrimonial market where women experience layered symbolic burdens, and (3) gender construction in the notion of siri' brings women through marriage into the circuit of capital, then absorbs the value of their work as unpaid domestic labor to ensure the sustainability of capital in the capitalist mode of production. This article invites us to rethink the concept of family where women can be sovereign over themselves.

Abstract

Border issues have recently experienced ups and downs in academia and research after the election and reshuffle of new ministers in the Indonesian government. After Mrs. Susi Pudjiastuti, former Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, was reshuffled, attention to border areas, especially maritime boundaries, between countries experienced ups and downs again. The government seems to be less focused on border discourse, which raises various problems in it. However, if we look back, border studies, especially maritime borders, will be the main attraction in maintaining state sovereignty, and the culture and identity of a nation and state. This study attempts to describe and analyze the border sea area in the world of maritime, culture, religion, entity and identity of a country and nation. The historical method is used in this study with a socio-economic approach that intersects with the processes and axis of networks, culture, and identity. The network is interpreted as a process that intersects with society, as a subject and object, which becomes one axis in human activity. In the process, a communal culture and network is formed as a characteristic of a community group as a form of personal or communal and institutional expression. The results of this study indicate that a historical process has implications for the emergence of cultural groups and ethnic identities in society. The Sulawesi Sea acts as a connecting area between countries, nations, in the scope of history and culture, so this study is expected to contribute to the study of the border area of two countries and nations.

Abstract

One of the current environmental problems is plastic waste. One of the efforts to manage plastic waste in the community is through waste bank activities. This paper tries to explain the participation of farmers in the Pancadaya waste bank community in the suburbs area of Padang City, from a Giddens perspective. The research was conducted qualitatively by observation and interviews with several informants who were obtained purposively. The results of the research show that from the external dimension, several things are constraining and enabling the practice of participation by farmers, such as the distance factor and the existence of incentives.Meanwhile, from the internal dimension of farmers as subjects, participation as a social practice is largely due to unconscious motivation and practical consciousness. Only a small number of them participate in plastic waste management in waste banks based on discursive consciousness. Collaboration between waste banks and farmers as one element of customers and other parties is needed so that their participation practices are more driven by discursive consciousness

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is show that the commodification process that occurs in the Sijunjung Traditional Village to support the development of rural tourism. The process of commodification can be seen in the utilization of the Rumah Gadang as a place to stay (homestay) for visitors. Rumah Gadang for the Minangkabau people is not just a place to live but a cultural space and symbol. So that if it is made into a homestay it will create a dilemma, on the one hand, the Rumah Gadang needs to be maintained as a distinctive Minangkabau cultural monument and on the other hand, the tourism aspect can have an economic impact on the Sijunjung community. It is this dualism of Rumah Gadang as a cultural product and a tourism product that results in commodification to develop tourism in rural areas. The method used is a thorough observation of the Rumah Gadang and interviewing the residents and Ninik Mamak (traditional ruler) as members of the tribe that owns the Rumah gadang. A total of 15 Rumah Gadang have become homestays under the auspices of BCA bank CSR and are managed by the Nagari Sijunjung Traditional Village Management Agency (BP). Apart from that, Rumah Gadang still functions as a place and space for the social and cultural activities of the Sijunjung people. So that the values and norms that exist in the Rumah Gadang as a symbol of Minangkabau culture continue to run and through homestays, the Sijunjung community can get additional economic benefits from the tourism sector.

Abstract

The pattern of seeking healing and the use of family medicinal plants today has become an inseparable part of people's lives. In social life, illness becomes a discourse on the interaction of human life with nature. The disease suffered by the community is not only a challenge in itself, but they have the knowledge of healing, so that the illness can be handled independently or through the role of assistants in traditional ways. This study seeks to document the various knowledges of the community in the use of plants that can cure disease and also to map the pattern of seeking healing that is believed by the people of Aceh. Through an ethnographic qualitative approach, this research uses interviews and direct observation in two areas in Aceh. The results of the study show that the Acehnese living in the two areas have their own knowledge to obtain a cure for their illness. The knowledge was collected based on the response to illness through the role of traditional healers and the transmission pattern of treatment knowledge from generation to generation to medicinal plants, so that in obtaining healing, they were able to survive with the conditions they experienced until they obtained complete healing.
