Abstract:
The continuity of the Dhahar Kembul Culture since 1970 until it has developed, is supported by social
construction so that it raises the implication of nationalism as an important aspect. This study aims to
analyze in depth the social construction of the Dhahar Kembul Culture by focusing on the timing of
cultural continuity, namely from the early history of Dhahar Kembul's formation to the significant
development process from time to time. This research was examined through qualitative research
methods with a case study approach, data collection using observation techniques, in-depth interviews,
and documentation. The informant selection technique selected was by using purposive sampling. To
ensure the validity of the data in the study, source triangulation techniques were used, while the data
analysis used used data analysis techniques with fixed comparison analysis methods. The results of
the study conclude that the social construction of nationalism in Dhahar Kembul is a social process
that takes place continuously, starting from the early history to the development process from time to
time, covering aspects, namely the emergence of ideas, socialization, and coordination. On the other
hand, Dhahar Kembul as an implication of nationalism is fundamentally constructed from various
interrelated processes, with externalization, objectification, and internalization, as the basic paradigm
in social construction. |
