KEBUDAYAAN DAN AGAMA JAWA DALAM PERSPEKTIF CLIFFORD GEERTZ
Abstract: Talking
about Javanese culture, antropologist will often refer to Geertz’s thesis of
santri-abangan-priyayi. Geertz’s book, Religion of Java, has been a “holy book”
for those who concerns for observing and researching Javanese culture and
society. In this context, Geertz has acknowledged a theory of social system of
Javanese people. In his another book, Interpretation of Culture, Geertz
identifies culture based on the last-concept of Kluckholn. He sets culture as a
text which has to be meaningfully interpreted, not only as a concrete manner.
In addition, he sets religion as cultural values within is embodied within the
meanings. Everyone can interpret and experience those meanings in his own
approach.
