- Abstract
Sinrilik is one of Makassar’s oral traditions recording the civilization and knowledge of Makassar society. Of sinrilik, Kappalak Tallumbatua depicts the fight between a father and his son. Some researchers relate the story to the Makassar war. The war shows Makassar’s kingdom as an essential spices route and its defeat at the time. Using literary geography, the writer intends to explore the interpretation of spaces in Kappalak Tallumbatua sinrilik. Literary geography aims at highlighting spatial elements, the mapping of aspects related to the text, and identity construction of the space. The data is Kappalak Tallumbatua sinrilik published by Yayasan Obor Indonesia in Jakarta, 1993. It is edited by Aburaerah Arief, Zainuddin Hakim, and Roger Tol. The methods of collecting data are: (1) reading the sinrilik carefully, (2) classifying the plot (beginning and ending), (3) putting it on the map (dividing real and imaginary places), and (4) finding the meaning of the map. The writing uncovers that there are reality and uncertainty between real and imaginary places in the sinrilik of Kappalak Tallumbatua. The war occurs for years, but the war areas are Mallengkeri, Parang Tambung, Bulussari, Jongaya, Balang Baru, and Bonto Marannu. hopefully describes the geography in shaping narrative structure of sinrilik in terms of how the Makassar’s kingdom is constructed in the story and how the story is used to propagate the euphoria of the Netherlands’ win in the war. Of Gowa’s kingdom defeat, there is separation space between Karaeng Andi Patunru and Karaeng Tunisombaya. The separation of place between Karaeng Tunisombaya and Karaeng Andi Patunru implies that both of them have different identity.
