Abstract

Tourism is one of the most important sectors in the development process in the country of Indonesia. Cultural tourism development in various regions has led to cultural commercialization practices. Cultural commercialization includes the reconstruction of art and traditions and the practice of everyday life into stage performances that can be enjoyed by tourists. Gintungan Hamlet is one of the hamlets located at the of Mount Ungaran. In this hamlet there is a spring (pennant). The spring has until now become the center of the bedah blumbang  ritual. Bedah blumbang that has been going on for decades has inevitably experienced various changes. These changes include changes in the procedures for implementing, completing ceremonies, and involving the community. At the stage of the procession, the tradition of blumbang surgery has become a place for cash exchange market activities with bazaar performances. The commodification of tourism in this blunt surgical tradition has a negative and positive impact. The negative impact is that there are various fundamental changes in its implementation, especially in determining the timing of implementation. The positive impact is that tourism development is also accompanied by infrastructure development that can be used widely by the people of Gintungan Hamlet, the opening of information from inside and outside the hamlet, and revitalizing the tradition of blunt surgery. this research uses ethnographic methods

Abstract

Along with the development of modern times, society maintains its tradition as a unique cultural identity, including the phenomenon of rituals that take place under a large tamarind tree which is believed to be the firing of a sacred figure named Mbah Gosang, located in the middle of an urban area, precisely at Peterongan Semarang Market. The focus of the discussion which is the main objective of this research is to interpret the ritual meanings express in the ritual implementation. This research uses the theory of symbolic interactionism in explaining ritual phenomena, which in implication refers to social actions carried out by individuals in representing cultural meanings and symbols around them. The method used in this study is in the form of ethnographic methods, while the source of research data is obtained from participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The informants consisted of the caretaker and Mbah Gosang pilgrim who had been directly involved in the implementation of ritual traditions. Based on the results of the study, the phenomenon of rituals carried out under the Mbah Gosang tamarind tree has two forms of cultural traditions in the form of a pilgrimage ritual and suronan ritual which in essence involves Mbah Gosang as an intermediary for prayer or tawassul to God. The series of ritual processions has their own symbolic meaning. Generally, people who carry out these rituals have the motivation to improve the economy, look for prosperity in life, and look for clues in dealing with life problems. The function of the ritual itself is as a form of respect for ancestors, cultural inheritance, forms of effort, reminders of death, and means of social integration, while the purpose of the ritual is to draw closer to God Almighty.
