Women as Canang Sari Street Vendors in Bali
Abstract: Every Hindu family
in Bali dedicates offerings of Canang Sari on a daily basis. The provision of
the offering is not always created by them, but they buy canang sari. This has
turned canang sari into a market commodity. Therefore, women have emerged as
canang sari street vendors in the several towns in Bali. This study examines
the reasons why women do this job, especially in Singaraja Regency. The
approach of this research was qualitative study which focused on critical
social theory. The results show that the reasons women do such business
activities not solely because canang sari street vendors is an informal
economic sector, but also it is related to the ownership of economic, social,
cultural, and symbolic capitals. This reason is strengthened by the condition
of Balinese who have affected by McDonaldization society so they prefer to buy
canang sari rather than making it their own.
