TRADISI ASSITULUNGENG DALAM KEHIDUPAN SOSIAL MASYARAKAT PETANI (STUDI KASUS DESA PAMMUSURENG KECAMATAN BONTOCANI KABUPATEN BONE)

Abstract

This study examines the Assitulungeng tradition in the social life of farming communities in Pammusureng Village. This study aims to determine the forms, socio-religious values, and value shifts of the tradition. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with a sociological approach using Anthony Giddens' structuration theory. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the forms of Assitulungeng tradition include maddakala, masseppa galung, mattaneng ase, maddukka dongi, massangki, as well as mattaneng and masseppe bata. The main finding of this study emphasizes that agricultural modernization has significantly changed the pattern of community involvement in the Assitulungeng practice. The introduction of technologies such as tractors, planting machines, and corn shellers has replaced collective work with individual. This change has an impact on weakening social relations, decreasing solidarity, mutual cooperation, and togetherness, and threatening the sustainability of religious values such as mutual help and unity which have been the social glue of farmers.
