<p>The research is focused on finding the social, geographical, and religious context of the <em>sawéran </em>tradition in the Muslim community of Pasirtamiang, the dynamics of the message narrative in the <em>sawéran</em> lyrics, and the Islamic values and messages contained therein. This focus is important so that the dialectic between religion and culture, which is sometimes seen as a form of syncretism that endangers religion's existence, can be clarified. In this writing, the Muslim community of Pasirtamiang shows a fairly representative model of religious and cultural dialectics so that their people can preserve their cultural heritage without losing their Islamic identity. The research used explanative methods to find causal relationships between local wisdom facts identified by participant observation and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the socio-geographic and religious factors of the Pasirtamiang community also influenced the development process of the sawéran tradition. The format and substance of the <em>sawéran </em>content have transformed, the lyrics are simpler, and the Islamic values are emphasized, both technically and substantially. Islamic values in the lyrics <em>sawéran</em> are classified into divine, spiritual, and moral values. Overall, the content of <em>sawéran's </em>lyrics is an integral part of the Islamic message.</p><p><em>Penelitian difokuskan untuk menemukan konteks sosial, geografis, dan religius tradisi sawéran dalam masyarakat muslim Pasirtamiang, dinamika narasi pesan dalam lirik saweran, serta nilai dan pesan Islam yang terkandung di dalamnya. Fokus ini penting supaya dialektika antara agama dan budaya, yang terkadang ditengarai sebagai bentuk sinkretisme yang membahayakan eksistensi agama, dapat diklarifikasi. Dalam tulisan ini, masyarakat muslim Pasirtamiang menunjukkan model dialektika agama dan budaya yang cukup representatif sehingga masyarakatnya dapat melestarikan warisan budaya tanpa kehilangan identitas keislamannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksplanatif untuk menemukan hubungan kausalitas antara fakta kearifan lokal yang diidentifikasi melalui observasi partisipan dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor sosial-geografis dan keagamaan masyarakat Pasirtamiang turut mempengaruhi proses perkembangan tradisi sawéran. Format dan substansi isi sawéran telah mengalami transformasi, penuturan liriknya lebih sederhana dan semakin menegaskan nilai-nilai keislaman, baik secara teknis maupun substansial. Nilai-nilai Islam dalam lirik sawéran diklasifikasikan menjadi nilai ketuhanan, spiritual, dan moral. Secara keseluruhan, isi lirik sawéran merupakan bagian tak terpisahkan dari pesan Islam.</em></p>

Re-thinking dominant epistemological assumptions of the urban in the global South implies recognising the role of grassroots networks in challenging epistemic injustices through the co-production of multiple saberes and haceres for more just and inclusive cities. This paper examines the pedagogies of such networks by focusing on the experiences nurtured within Habitat International Coalition in Latin America (HIC-AL), identified as a ‘School of Grassroots Urbanism’ (Escuela de Urbanismo Popular). Although HIC-AL follows foremost activist rather than educational objectives, members of HIC-AL identify and value their practices as a ‘School’, whose diverse pedagogic logics and epistemological arguments are examined in this paper. The analysis builds upon a series of in-depth interviews, document reviews and participant observation with HIC-AL member organisations and allied grassroots networks. The discussion explores how the values and principles emanating from a long history of popular education and popular urbanism in the region are articulated through situated pedagogies of resistance and transformation, which in turn enable generative learning from and for the social production of habitat.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to theorize and empirically investigate the formation of consumer’s consumption ritual experiences and discourses associated with Feast of Sacrifice. Design/methodology/approach The authors have approached the data from assemblage theory perspective. By use of ethnographic participant observation and in-depth interviews, seven themes are uncovered and discussed: meaning of Qurban, preparation of the ritual, Qurban choice, meat, Qurban ritual, marketplace and framing of discourses. Findings This study provides a theoretical development in which it depicts that assemblage theory can be used in the context of religious rituals such as the Feast of Sacrifice. This suggests that parts forming the social phenomena include different meanings and functions in different assemblages to the ritual, which has a structure with a particular process, roles and content scenario. This implies that even the most structured social phenomena as religious rituals can be accepted as social assemblage where every individual experiences his/her own ritual with the parts that have ever-changing material and expressive roles. Originality/value This study will contribute to the literature on religious rituals and practices through viewing ritual as an assemblage including material and expressive features as well as human and non-human actors. Besides, this study aims to find out whether there is a constant consumer and the concept of ritual by focusing on buying experiences of consumer in Feast of Sacrifice in Turkey.

The purpose of this study to discover and reveal the social construction of masculine woman identity in terms of externalization, objectivation, and internalization. This study used a qualitative approach, with a method or theory of social reality construction of constructivism paradigm. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and literature. The study finding showed that the social construction of masculine woman identity in terms of externalization is influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factor is influenced by a family that makes informants show the social construction of masculine woman identity to the public. While external factor is influenced by association with male friend and technological advances (mass media) that have contributed to the formation of character, appearance style, and feeling to others. In general, social identity construction of masculine woman constructs her identity in a way  showed that masculine woman does not always have a negative character. In this case, a masculine woman can survive and adapt to the family, campus and community environments. The research finding showed that appearance changes will only happen if there is a will from the masculine woman herself, and the comfort level of masculine appearance can not change the identity.

In New Mexico, the marketization of water rights, urbanization, and the legacies of colonialism divide neighbors and pit them against one another over water. New Mexico’s acequias (community irrigation ditches) are organized by water flow, and the physical and interpersonal connections that enable it and are enabled by it. I examine the way that the social and material reality of water flow troubles deeply embedded racial and socioeconomic divisions by creating what I call fluid kinship: a social space that flows like an acequia, according to a topography of human relationships. Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews with acequia users in New Mexico, I elucidate how fluid kinship can reshape the terms of water conflict into unexpected configurations. By drawing attention to fluid kinship, I seek to elucidate the potentiality of the acequia as a counter-geography of relatedness and possible reconciliation.

AbstractThis paper aims to explore firstly, the distribution of economic opportunities in the Chinese immigrant economy, and, secondly, how opportunities have gradually diverged among Chinese migrants against the backdrop of increased globalization and Chinese transnationalization. Conceptually, it departs from the literature of immigrant economy as well as transnationalism, in particular, Chinese transnationalism. Methodologically, qualitative and inductive methods including in-depth interviews and participant observation are employed. By revealing that some Chinese migrants enjoy economic opportunities induced by transnationalization process while some others are deprived of them, this paper questions the much-celebrated effects of the social mobility of immigrant economy. This paper sheds light on how unequal opportunities can be exported from China channeled by transnationalization, as unequal pathways of Chinese migrants in Vienna, among other cases in Europe, appear to extend the divergent experiences of winners and losers of the late-socialist economic reform in China.

Integration and the processes involved are increasingly becoming more important in anthropological studies as the world is globalising. However, individual experiences of migrants, especially those of women, are often not considered in academic research. Therefore, I aim to include personal experiences of migrant women by studying those in the context of integration in Copenhagen. I conducted fieldwork over two months in the city of Copenhagen through participant observation in a cycling course created by the Red Cross, along with several informal interviews and five in-depth interviews with key informants. This article examines how integration is perceived, whether intersecting physical and social mobility can aid integration, and what impact gender has on these processes. Integration in this context is argued to be a form of social mobility, one that describes a forward movement into society. The process of integration for the women considered in this research is aided by cycling, as moving through the city physically promotes social mobility. Cyclists learn to navigate both the social and physical environment around them, and they gain access to services as well as opportunities in the labour market.

This research seeks to explain the apparent increase in the number of Muslim families in the Washington metropolitan area who are choosing to homeschool their children. Despite being a proportionally slim percentage of the homeschool population, they have faced some negative attention stemming from concerns about Muslim homeschoolers’ qualifications, expertise, citizenship, and even loyalty to the United States. Our project attempts to ascertain the motives and reasons behind this growing trend by choosing a representative sample of Muslim homeschoolers and conducting in-depth interviews, engaging in participant observation, and sending out questionnaires. We placed our findings within the broader study of homeschooling, both historically and theoretically, so that it would serve as a cross reference as well as a comparison of Muslim and other homeschoolers. Our findings indicate that the main reasons for this increase are very similar to those noted among other faith-based homeschoolers: religion, family values, and a morally based education in a safe environment.
