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. 172 Research limitations - This research only describes the tradition of speech and analyzes the speeches with semiotic studies to see how the icons, indexes and symbols contained in the speech traditionease Originality/value - The research of the speech tradition is a research on oral literature that must be documented to maintain the values of the ancestral traditions and the beliefs of the Tidung people. And the language mantras of the Tidung tribe can be preserved and studied in a deeper meaning and meaning for the life of the Tidung people in general
