Prophetic Feminist Romantism In The Tradition Of Saba Munama In Pedawa Village

The objectives of this research are: 1) to describe the denotative and connotative meanings of the Saba Munama ceremony; 2) to analyze the content of prophetic feminism in the Saba Munama ceremony. Qualitative method was used to formulate research objectives with the following steps: determining informants, determining primary and secondary data sources; and qualitative data analysis. Through the use of the concept of tradition, symbols and the concept of prophetic feminism, the following findings can be obtained: the Pedawa community gives denotative and connotative meanings to the implementation of the Saba Munama ceremony. Denotatively, this ceremony is interpreted as a ceremony whose implementation is the responsibility of the deha/single women and is carried out exactly at midnight and as an opening ceremony for the next saba ceremony. In a connotative sense, it can mean human submission to supernatural things, glorification of women and a symbol of coming out of darkness to a new life. The prophetic feminist content in Saba Munama is filled with the concepts of humanistic; liberation and transcendence. The conclusion of the research on the Saba Munama ritual reinforces that the prophetic feminist dimension legitimizes the urgency of the ritual as a reference for freeing humans from injustice.
