Geertz and Sandarupa's theory

      Make a summary of the interpretation of Geertz's theory of culture which are seen as a text!

Answer: Culture another term for cultural interpretation is ethnographic (Etnography). Clifford Geertz called the interpretation of culture as thick description, namely the cultural interpretation of the original actors corner culture, and differentiate it from the thin description, namely the cultural interpretation efforts solely to describe the behavior patterns based on viewpoints which have little in common with the original perpetrator culture. As with all types of hermeneutics, Geertz also discusses the hermeneutical circle. In his view, the interpretation associated with the hermeneutical circle that covers the movement of the experience-near concept, the meaning of culture as experienced by the original actors towards experience-distant concept, the meaning of culture to outsiders, and vice versa. Geertz focused concept of culture to cultural values ​​that guide people to act in facing the problems of life. So in the end is more a cultural concept to guide the assessment of symptoms that are understood by the perpetrators of the culture. Meaning contains assessments of existing actors in the culture. In culture, meaning not individual but the public, when the system of meaning then becomes the collective property of a group. Culture becomes a pattern of meaning embodied in the historically transmitted symbols. Culture is also a concept inherited a system that was revealed in symbolic forms by which humans communicate, preserve, and develop their knowledge of life and attitudes towards life (Geertz; 1992a, 3).

Make comparisons between the approaches of Geertz and Sandarupa!

Answer: The existence of context was never out of the text or the suitability of the text-context is a form of consciousness metalanguage. In a paper entitled Stanislaus Sandarupa The voice of Child: Construction Through a Moral Society Retteng Poetic Performance in Toraja, Sulawesi, Indonesia metalanguage consciousness described by the verb tabe 'forgive', Siman 'pardon', (row 1) as an apologetic expression and row 4-7 are umbatting verb 'lament', ma'rio-rio 'mourn', kua 'say', o'ton 'press down', untule 'tell again. All these verbs are included in the verb say (Verbum discendi) all expressing words of consolation for death.The "deep play" of the Balinese cockfight, says Geertz, is like artworks which illustrate an essential insight into our very existence.  It is a symbolic manufactured representation of something very real in our social life. It channels aggression and rivalry into an indirect symbolic sphere of engagement. The fights both represent and take part in forming the social and cultural structure of the Balinese people which are dramatized through the cockfight. Rituals such as the Balinese cockfight, Geertz concludes, are a form of text which can be read. It is a society's manner of speaking to itself about itself, and is therefore of prime interest for the anthropologist. 

 Make ventriloquism comparisons between Geertz and poetry Fadli Zon!

Answer: Ventriloquism is basically an illusion to the ear, just like magic is to the eye. And, just like magic, it also uses mis-direction to make it more believable.  How is this done?  First by using a puppet to direct the viewer's eyes over to the false source of the sound. Letter substitutions that boggle your brain to correct the mis-speaks. Ventriloquism has been around for hundreds of years.  It was called "belly-talking" because it was believed   the sounds came from inside the belly.  For the most part, they do.  You need to work on good breathing  and relaxing.  I might also ad, that having a dry throat does not work for ventriloquism.  So a routine usually doesn't go longer than 10-15 minutes because it's hard on your throat. The unfortunate consequence is the reification of anthropology into a form of Eurocentric ventriloquism (Geertz). Clifford Geertz speaks of are constructed of religious beliefs and practices, cultural customs, social interactions, attitudes and behavior -- everything around us that we have constructed as rational beings capable of thought and imagination. ‘Deep Play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight’’, exemplifies the new paradigm of how to study culture. It begins again with a fieldwork story, but this time one which gets  the writer directly into the action."Sajak Seekor Ikan" Fadli Zon is a portrait of fecklessness Jokowi candidates who are very determined his fate became great entrepreneurs (conglomerates), while the poem "Airmata Buaya" Fadli Zon very precisely describe the personality and character of Megawati and often betrayed by his own words, or with another sense of the poem is; What was said megawati opposite of what he's doing "different words with deeds" MEANS "LIAR", if the poem is slander prove to litigate Fadli Zon, if silence means mega and PDIP IS TRUE.
