Tradisi Pidarai Sipil Suku Tidung Kajian Semiotika Sebagai Kegiatan Lpcal Masyarakat Berau di Lingkungan Hutan Lembab Basah Tropis Kalimantan Timur
Abstract
Abstract
Background - The Pidarai oral tradition is one of the traditions that
exist in the Tidung tribe community. This tardisi is still practiced by the
elders of the Tidung tribe as an alternative healing. There are fewer
speakers of the Pidarai tradition so it is possible that this tradition will
be lost so it needs to be documented. Given the lack of interest of the
younger generation in developing and preserving Indonesian culture,
especially the oral tradition of "mantra" because it is considered ancient,
the writer finally made the research to further explore the oral tradition
of the "mantra" of the Tidung tribe as Indonesian culture with semiotic
studies.
Purpose - The purpose of this study is to describe the cultural aspects
of the Tidung tribe's Pidarai tradition and to describe the semiotic aspects
of the Tidung tribe's Pidarai tradition
Design/methodology/approach - This research method is descriptive
qualitative with data collection techniques from the results of
observations by directly going into the field, interviews with direct
interaction with speakers who are speakers of the piadarai tradition, and
documentation based on written sources.The results show that the
tradition of speech is still practiced by the Tidung tribe today as a cure.
Findings - P The Pidarai tradition is pronounced orally in the Tidung
language. In the implementation of this piradarai tradition it also has
stages of the procedure and time of implementing the tradition. In an oral
speech in the form of a mantra / prayer that is uttered by the speaker,
there are 3 icons, 5 indexes, 7 symbols that are the tradition of the speech.
