AKU ADALAH PEREMPUAN PESANTREN: SEBUAH ETNOGRAFI BIOGRAFI
ABSTRACT: This paper is based
on the reflections of the life experiences of a woman that grew up within the
cultures of the Pesantren. At first, this paper was merely for academic
purposes that demanded reflective research. Most of the data was collected in a
reasonably short amount of time in the last two months of 2010 by relying on
life experience memories and enforced by data from results of observations,
interviews and personal documents. This research tries to give an overview and
becomes a small part of an effort to understanding how a human woman brought up
within the cultures of the Pesantren interprets herself as a woman. A woman who
deals with various feelings, thoughts, questions, concerns and expectations in
between habits and habituations embedded in the existing culture. Although
admittedly, this paper does not intend to give a generalization of the
Pesantren culture, especially on the ways of how one “grows into a woman” and
the social consequences of the female self.
