AbstractThe Tanah Karo's natural lanscape has been known such a fertile area with a climate that is perfect for agricultural activities. The ancient Karo people used to live the old way known as the megalith culture or tradition that is always related to ancestral and animism beliefs. When Islam and Christianity started to influx and flourish, the old beiefs gradually vanished. The material culture heritage, however, shows varous influences from the past. The old well-rooted concept and element that used to live in the society has left such a strong legacy to some aspects of the culture material and tradition in the present day, especially the buiding or the symbolic ornament and the traditional building element. The agricultural life in the past can be traced back through the symbols available, which then will become proposed questions in search for answers. This paper appliesmexplorative-descriptive method with inductive reasoning. The ornaments, building materials and elements available are proofs of agricultural activities in the forms of farming. The fertile soil and conducive climate provide a perfect back up to the farming. The traditional buildings for the ancestors' skulls at Tanah Karo settlements are the perfect examples of the ancient megalith.AbstrakAlam lingkungan Tanah Karo sejak dahulu memang merupakan area yang subur dengan iklim yang menunjang kegiatan pertanian. Masyarakat Karo dahulu masih menganut kepercayaan lama yang dikenal di Nusantara sebagai budaya atau tradisi megalitik yang sering dikaitkan dengan kepercayaan yang berkaitan dengan leluhur dan animisme. Seiring dengan masuknya agama Islam dan Kristen, kepercayaan ini berangsur hilang. Namun melalui budaya material yang ditinggalkan masih menunjukkan adanya pengaruh kepercayaan lama. Konsep maupun unsur budaya yang pernah ada dan mengakar pada masyarakatnya, menyebabkan sebagian bentuk budaya material maupun tradisinya masih menampakkan hubungan dengan budaya masa lalunya. Terutama berkaitan dengan bangunan atau simbol-simbol yang tercermin dalam ornamen dan elemen bangunan adatnya. Bagaimana kondisi pertanian masa lalu dilacak melalui simbol-simbol yang ada menjadi permasalahan yang ingin diungkapkan kejelasannya. Penulisan menggunakan metode eksploratif-deskriptif menggunakan alur penalaran induktif. Melalui berbagai ornamen, bahan bangunan serta elemen bangunannya menjadi petunjuk adanya kegiatan pertanian berupa persawahan dan perladangan. Hal ini didukung oleh tanah yang subur serta iklim yang menunjang kegiatan itu. Perkampungan di Tanah Karo juga masih menggambarkan adanya tradisi megalitik di masa lalu, dengan keberadaan bangunan adat sebagai tempat menyimpan tengkorak dan tulang belulang leluhur /geriten.

Ethnographic Methodology

According to Sarah Pink (2001) defines the visual ethnographic as the use of visual images and technologies such as video, film, photography, art, drawing and sculpture in qualitative social research to both produce and represent knowledge. It includes using the visual as a documenting tool to produce visual records, in interviews, to elicit comments from informants, in participant observation to research ways of seeing and understanding, analysing visual and material culture and using visual media to represent the findings of such research. Visual ethnography deals with the visual and perceptual study of culture, material culture and forms of human behaviour in different communities and environments. Visually we can communicate knowledge and experience and ideas in ways that we never express in written words or spoken words, in social research, the visual is gaining significance as a research method.

Whether it is on a limited or a mass scale, coffee has long been an industrial commodity. In the social context, it can be even a social glue of interaction between individuals or communities. The claims have, indeed, implied the value of the beans. Certain elements take part in the making of the so-called coffee popularity. From a cultural perspective, the existence of material and non-material aspects of culture can be the keys. This study aims to identify and to inventory the aspects of material and non-material culture of one of world-famous coffeehouses, Starbucks. The data were obtained through library study. The main data as well as the objects of the study are information contained on the official Starbucks’ website. Other supporting data were taken from other relevant sources. Based on the study, the two aspects of culture, material and non-material, can be found in the American coffee company. The classifications of both were also made to fulfill the need of the further study.

- Drawing on a recent work by Massey and Sanchez (2007), this paper deal with the analysis of visual representations of taste from the point of view of the social construction of ethnic identity. We decide to give to each of our interviewees a couple of cameras, marked with the very simple signs "I like"/"I don't like", and we asked them to take picture of every kind of things, places or people who surround them in their everyday lives. Going in depth with the analysis of this particular "photographic book" created by the interviewees, we become able to hopefully show the ambivalent side of the social construction of ethnic identity through the means of consumption culture. On one hand, we can confirm the Massey and Sanchez's distinction between things and people in the construction of, respectively, host and family national identity. Yet, on the other hand, we can also explain the mixing and overlapping use of these two material and human means as they both contributes to the structuring of a particular form - though always changing - of ibrid cultural identity.Keywords ethnic identity; visual culture; material culture; taste; hybridization; second generations

The 19Th Century

The Russian ethnographer V. A. Moshkov was a general in rank and a member of the Russian Geographical Society and seriously studied the traditions and life of the peoples inhabiting the Russian Empire. At the end of the 19th century, he began to research the Gagauz people. The research “The Gagauz of Bendery Uyezd”, published in the journal “Ethnographic Review” at the beginning of the 20th century was published as a result of V. A. Moshkov’s travels. Thanks to V. A. Moshkov, the general public learned about the small Orthodox people living on the area of a small region in the south of Bessarabia – the Gagauz. This article examines the multifaceted activities of the researcher aimed at highlighting various aspects of traditional culture – material culture, as well as customs, rituals, beliefs and folklore. It is noted that V. A. Moshkov tried to study the problem of human origin. It is curious that he was prompted to consider this issue because of his acquaintance with the material and spiritual culture of the Gagauz people, in which the scientist found parallels with other peoples not related to the Gagauz people by a common origin. The authors emphasize the role of the Gagauz scholars who have devoted their attention to studying the scientific heritage of V. A. Moshkov in the preservation and development of the identity of the Gagauz ethnos.
