AbstrakAgama Marapu merupakan akar dari sistem sosial, politik, dan budaya orang Sumba. Di bidang sosial, ia mendasari terbentuknya pelapisan sosial dari kaum bangsawan, orang bebas, dan budak. Di bidang politik, golongan bangsawan mendapat legitimasi sebagai penguasa lokal (raja). Sementara di bidang budaya, agama ini melahirkan ritual yang diyakini berasal dari zaman megalitik, yaitu upacara kubur batu. Upacara ini diselenggarakan secara kolosal dengan melibatkan jaringan kerabat yang luas, pemotongan hewan dalam jumlah besar, penggunaan kain tradisional yang sarat makna, serta berbagai tahapan ritual yang dimaksudkan untuk mengantar arwah jenazah menuju alam leluhur (parai Marapu). Artikel ini mendeskripsikan konsep-konsep dalam agama Marapu dan manifestasinya dalam upacara kubur batu. Konsep-konsep dalam agama Marapu, meminjam analisis Clifford Geertz, telah menjadi model of reality dan model for reality bagi masyarakat Sumba dalam memahami kehidupan dan kematian. Sebagai model of reality, agama Marapu mengandaikan konsepsi ideal tentang kehidupan pasca-kematian, yaitu parai Marapu. Sementara sebagai model for reality konsepsi mengenai parai Marapu menjadi panduan (peta kognitif) untuk memuliakan orang yang meninggal melalui penyelenggaraan upacara kematian, pemberian bekal kubur, dan persembahan hewan kurban. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana proses pengumpulan data dikerjakan dengan cara melakukan observasi, wawancara mendalam, serta kajian pustaka. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah kerabat atau anggota keluarga yang hadir dalam penyelenggaraan upacara kubur batu.AbstractMarapu belief is the root of the social, political, and cultural system of Sumba. Socially it underlies the formation of social stratification: the nobles, free people, andslaves. Politically, the nobility have legitimacy as local rulers (kings). Culturally, this belief has given birth to rituals called stone grave ceremony which dates back to megalithic era. The ceremony was held in a colossal way involving extensive network of relatives, large amount of animal slaughtering, the use of very meaningful traditional fabrics, as well as various stages of rituals that are meant to take the bodies to the millieu of an cestral spirits (Parai Marapu).This article describes the concepts of Marapu belief and its manifestations in the stone graveceremony. Borrowing Clifford Geertz’s analysis, concepts in Marapu belief have become a model of reality and models for reality for the people of Sumbain understanding life and death. As a model of reality, Marapu belief counts on ideal conception of life after-death that is Parai Marapu. Whileas a model for reality the conception of Parai Marapu becomes a guide (cognitive map) to honor the dead through the organization of the funeral ceremony, grave goods offering, as well as animal sacrifices. This study used a qualitative approach, in which the process of data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and bibliographical review. Informants in this study were relatives or family members who attended the stone grave ceremony.

The king in the Hindu-Buddhist era had such a big role for his people. The ideal king is needed by the people so that the country becomes prosperous. The concept of an ideal king has been known for a long time in the archipelago, even since before Hindu-Buddhist culture developed. In Java and Bali the ideal king is described in the Astabrata Concept. The concept of an ideal king in Srivijaya has never been discussed by researchers, even though Srivijaya was one of the ruling kingdoms in Indonesia during the early Hindu-Buddhist era. This study discusses about concept of the ideal king that developed in Srivijaya based on written data in the form of inscriptions scattered in several conquered Srivijaya areas. The concept of the ideal king of Srivijaya needs to be known to reconstruct how much acceptance of Hindu-Buddhist culture in Indonesia, especially during the Srivijaya era.

In this paper I investigate the problems of data collection, data analysis and the final communication of the results of our research, when doing social science that we, ourselves, are part of. Central to this are the concepts life world, language games and stories and narratives. How do we collect stories and narratives in the field, how do we construct scientific narratives that are both reliable and valid? And finally, how do we, as researchers present our newly constructed narrative to a – hopefully – interested audience? That is, how do you, as a consumer of scientific narratives, read what I have been writing? Finally, I will discuss the problem of handing over research results to the people that we are doing research with. This is all done within a framework of a pragmatic constructivist paradigm.
