SIMBOLIKHAJI: Studi Deskriptif Analitik pada Orang Bugis

Abstract

As stated by Berger, Hajj as religious practice is attached to cultural context and meaning dialecticism. The difference of hajj symbol as cultural product construction from others laid on its transcendence and its religious dimension. Its cultural meaning has also changed overtime. This change can be looked on the newly hajj interpretation which has deviated from its true meaning written in Islamic texts, and implicated to the current Buginese community social and cultural practice and inter relation. As the symbol of hajj relatively attached more to the female hajj, the number of female hajj, as its implication, is more higher than male hajj.
