Description

Ethnography is a course that provides anthropology students with knowledge related to how the results of anthropologists' research work on a cultural geographical area. Through ethnography, students can also learn how the socio-cultural patterns and expressions of a society are being studied. Thus, ethnography courses invite students to recognize the cultural diversity of a society through the research work of anthropologists. Likewise, when mentioning the regions of East Java and Madura, the geographical locations used by UB anthropology as fields of area study. Students will be invited to recognize the variety, patterns, characters, and socio-cultural expressions of the people of East Java and Madura through available ethnographic works. This region is a vast and diverse cultural area. Socio-linguistically, the East Java cultural area is divided between the sub-cultures of Mataraman, Panaragan, Arekan, Madura, Pandhalungan, Tengger, Osing, Bawean, and others. Historically, the East Java region was once a benchmark in the history of the archipelago (from Kahuripan to Majapahit) which has more or less shaped the socio-cultural expressions of its people to this day. After attending this lecture, students do not stop at understanding the social ethnography of East Java and Madura, but are also encouraged to practice compiling simple mini-ethnographies related to the cultural patterns of East Java and Madura around them in groups.
