Abstract

For the last decade, the popularity and the imagery of Sedulur Sikep identity attribution on mass media rose and changed significantly, triggered by their involvement on a movement against cement factory plan in Kendeng, Central Java. Even so, some of the sikeps themselves claimed their absence and dissagrement on the movement. Thus, this anthropological study aims an explanation on how this situation led them to recognize the value of “being sikep” and how it affected sikep or the ‘on behalf of’ sikep movement in perceive and practice the conception of environment and its ecological issue. The paradigm shifting of ecology aspect on their cultural identity then tried to be mapped by looking on their ecological knowledge, the adaptability, and the power on controlling visibility space as a product of “nature” and “nurture”. Subsequently, it was found later that the disunity caused by their own personal experience on defining the reciprocity bond between their identity as peasant and the nature resources. The aftermath; dynamism and stagnancy then could be seen as their alter adaptation method, relying on how their belief conceive the ecological dispute and resistance towards the living space of Sedulur Sikep itself.

Abstract

Over the past decade, a shift has occurred in the Sedulur Sikep community’s attitude since the increase in its popularity and coverage in the mass media following its involvement in the anti-cement movement in Central Java. However, not all members of Sedulur Sikep participate in or even approve of this movement. This anthropological study attempts to illustrate how this situation has pushed the Sikep community members to (re)recognize their values, the influence of these values on environmental discourse, and how the relations between them are understood and practiced by Sedulur Sikep and the movement fighting in its name. By examining the adaptability of ecological knowledge and the ordering of visible space as a result of complex interactions between nature and nurture, it is possible to examine the shifts in their understanding of environmental dynamics and their cultural identity. The ‘fragmentation’ that has occurred is rooted in different understandings of the reciprocal bonds between the Sedulur Sikep’s tani mligi identity and natural resources. The dynamics and stagnation seen in how Sedulur Sikep positions itself in relation to cement production is also apparent in various methods of (re)interpretation, particularly regarding the relevance of Sedulur Sikep’s beliefs to its ecological contestation and struggle for living space.
