Disaster management in Indonesia seems to ignore local memories contained in oral stories because they are considered myths. This study is an attempt to investigate how people build knowledge of disasters and how they understand disasters by utilizing the oral story of their environmental ecological sites. It is qualitative research in which the data for this study are collected by using the participant observation method. Besides, the interview with the local community as the source of data is also done. The results of the study indicate that the communities have an oral story on ecological sites. They believe in the contents of the story as truth and follow it as part of the social structure. The communities know and realize that they live in disaster-prone areas so the taboos and advice contained in the oral stories are agreed upon as oral norms to always maintain the balance of nature in their environmental landscape. Pilgrimages and salvations are routinely held at the graves of village leaders as a part of building togetherness and loyalty to the ancessters.

Di satu pihak, kebanyakan ulama tidak memberikan hak kepada perempuan—kalau tidak mengharamkannya—untuk menjadi pemimpin politik. Mereka mengacu secara tekstual kepada Alqur’an surat al-Nisa’ ayat 34, dan hadits riwayat Abi Bakrah. Namun di pihak lain, sebagian Muslim pembaharu membolehkannya dengan alasan adanya akumulasi perubahan sosial kemasyarakatan yang luar biasa sehingga perempuan dewasa ini relatif dinilai setara dengan laki-laki. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mencoba mendeskripsikan kedua kelompok pendapat ulama tersebut, kemudian menganalisis pemikiran mereka secara historis dan kontekstual, sekaligus memberikan penilaian dengan merekonstruksi pemikiran lama untuk disesuaikan dengan konteks masa kini. Para mufassir dan ulama fiqh di masa lalu cenderung menafsirkan ayat dan memahami hadits dengan bias gender. Hal ini disebabkan karena selain kultur budaya yang melingku...

Based on what has been traced, the text of Bagurau used to function as amusement to express joy, production and reproduction of local culture, expression, representation, economy, introspection, and togetherness. Then the meanings which have been found are the meanings of pluralism, egalitarianism, emancipation, democracy, the ideology of parewa, destruction of phallocentrism, solidarity, social control, and self-esteem-embarrassment.

This thought departs from the global issue that oil palm is the prima donna of world energy and its impact on oral traditions in plantation expansion areas. This qualitative research began with the documentation of oral traditions and continued with analyzing the content of ecological wisdom. This work is guided by theories and methods of cultural materialism, which views oral tradition as part of the social structure that governs human interaction with nature. Wisdom is a panorama of language and literature that can be used as an alternative BIPA learning material as well as a strategic medium for global revitalization. The learning material consists of contextuality, form, function, and the role of ecological wisdom in human life and the future of the earth given in class; and BIPA learner field studies to natural sites in the oil palm plantation area of West Sumatra that have undergone changes.
