The ethnography of communication

This research was aimed to find out the types of politeness strategy that is used by 10th grade students to express criticism towards public issues through an anecdote text as well as the implication on the teaching and learning process of anecdote text in SMK TI Bali Global Jimbaran. There were fifteen anecdote texts analyzed in this research and they were collected through a writing test conducted in a 10th grade class in SMK TI Bali Global Jimbaran. The data were classified and analyzed based on the politeness strategy theory proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987) and ethnography of communication theory proposed by Hymes (1973). The result of the analysis shows that from the fifteen anecdote texts collected, there were only two types of politeness strategy found to be used in expressing criticism, they are bald on record strategy and off record strategy. There are ten anecdote texts composed by the students found using bald on record strategy, while the other five anecdotes using off record strategy in expressing criticism towards public issues. In other words, more students still used the more risky way of expressing criticisms, therefore it is important for the teacher to choose or design a better model of learning which can improve the students’ pragmatic competence.

ABSTRACTThis study explores the degree of cultural diversity in the dinner-table conversation narrative events of eight middle-class Jewish-American and eight Israeli families, matched on family constellation. Conceptualized in terms of a threefold framework of telling, tales, and tellers, the analysis reveals both shared and unshared narrative event properties. Narrative events unfold in both groups in similar patterns with respect to multiple participation in the telling, the prevalence of personal experience tales, and the respect for children's story-telling rights. Yet cultural styles come to the fore in regard to each realm as well as their interrelations. American families locate tales outside the home but close in time, ritualizing recounts of “today”; Israeli families favor tales more distant in time but closer to home. While most narratives foreground individual selves, Israeli families are more likely to recount shared events that center around the family “us” as protagonist. In modes of telling, American families claim access to story ownership through familiarity with the tale, celebrating monologic performances; but in Israeli families, ownership is achievable through polyphonic participation in the telling.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya pro dan kontra terhadap keberadaan komunitas Suku Dayak Hindu Budha Bumi Segandu Indramayu (SDHBBSI) di lingkungan masyarakat Indramayu yang dianggap sesat. Keberadaan komunitas SDHBBSI yang sekilas dipandang sebelah mata ini ternyata memiliki nilai-nilai budaya yang luhur. Nilai-nilai tersebut tercermin pada larik-larik puji-pujian ritual Ngaji Rasa yang diadakan setiap malam Jumat Kliwon sebagai salah satu bentuk sembahyang. Adapun permasalahan pokok dalam penelitian ini adalah (1) struktur teks, (2) referensi leksikon, dan (3) nilai-nilai kearifan lokal yang terkandung dalam puji-pujian ritual Ngaji Rasa. Dalam melakukan penelitian di lapangan, penelitian ini dibatasi pada tiga teks puji-pujian ritual Ngaji Rasa. Untuk menunjang penelitian ini digunakan pendekatan antropolinguistik dengan model etnografi komunikasi. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi partisipan, dan wawancara tidak berstruktur.

Community Issues

Abstract This article presents an analysis of dialogue as an alternative to debate and argument for engaging contested community issues. Treating dialogue as a communication practice, I draw on ethnography of communication, cultural communication theory, and cultural discourse analysis to describe and interpret how participants practiced community dialogue as a communication event comprised of sequences of listening and verbally responding. When topics and identities were elaborated upon and socially negotiated through personal communication in the form of narratives and emotional responses, participants reported effective dialogue. These sequences were dialogic moments partially due to the dialectical tension between Americans’ once predictable civic routine of public expression of individual’s beliefs and the process of dialogue featured in our War and Peace dialogue workshop.
