Makna Simbolik Manyanda Dalam Tradisi Kematian Di Nagari Talang Kecamatan Gunung Talang Kabupaten Solok Sumatera Barat
Indonesia, with its diversity of ethnicities, cultures, and traditions, preserves numerous local wisdoms, including those related to funeral ceremonies. One unique tradition can be found in Nagari Talang, Gunung Talang District, Solok Regency, West Sumatra, known as the Manyanda tradition. Manyanda is a part of funeral customs that involves selecting a successor for the social position of the deceased. This tradition reflects the community's response to the symbolic situations within the Manyanda tradition. This study aims to analyze the meaning of symbolic situations, the meaning of the products of social interaction, and the interpretative meaning of the Manyanda tradition from various perspectives. Additionally, it is expected to contribute to the preservation of local culture and enrich the literature on West Sumatra's customs.
This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, applying Herbert Blumer's symbolic interaction theory. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 research informants, consisting of 2 traditional leaders, 2 Bundo Kanduang, 3 individuals involved in the Manyanda process, 1 bereaved family member, and 2 local community members selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation to provide a comprehensive depiction of the Manyanda tradition.
The results show that the Manyanda tradition embodies symbolic situations, including physical objects such as Siriah (betel leaves), Jamba (serving trays), Tikuluak (traditional headgear), Kebaya Adat (traditional blouse), Songket (woven fabric), Uncang, Kota, Sarongs, and Towels. Social objects include the procession of appointing the Manyanda individual, ritual dialogues, and prayers. The meaning of the products of social interaction in the Manyanda tradition is viewed from the perspectives of traditional leaders, the family, the appointed Manyanda individual, and the local community. The interpretative meaning in the Manyanda tradition encompasses both covert and overt actions performed by those involved in the tradition.
