dc.description.abstract | Folk stories are one of the knowledges that is supported by the supporting community. The
story generally relates to history, the natural environment, characters, events and wonders.
Gandrung's traditional arts and seblang Olehsari and Bakungan rituals have traces of events that have
until now become narratives that are still lived by the supporting community. Some are stored in
people's memories and need documentation to be stored and can be inherited and developed across
generations. It becomes an imperative because in each story contains values and moral messages that
are worthy to be passed on to the next generation. In addition, documented folklore is a historical
record of the cultural journey of the community, especially how people interact, interpret, and live
out various phenomena that exist in their environment. The ethnographic research method begins
with collecting library data. Furthermore, it is equipped with field data obtained by observing,
participating, and in-depth interviews with key informants, namely the head of adat, cultural
observer, and the perpetrators of the traditional Gandrung art and seblang rituals. The results of the
research show that some folklore has not been documented and is deemed necessary to be
documented in accordance with the knowledge and appreciation of the supporting community. The
stories lived by the community relate to the natural environment, character and life of the ladies and
gentlemen. | en_US |
