Abstract

The caci tradition is a typical tradition of Manggarai, West Flores. Some previous research findings reveal that the caci tradition is a type of regional dance. Caci as one of the icons of the Manggarai culture. Because the unique tradition of caci can be used as an ambassador for the promotion of tourism and culture of the Manggarai area. Manggarai BPPDK (Manggarai 2000) (Nggoro 2006); (Maure and Ningsi 2018). Maribeth Erb in the Southeast Asia international seminar offered the idea of conceptualizing the culture of playing Caci as promotion in tourism in Manggarai (Erb 2001); (Cole 2005); (Cushman and Tourism 1999); (Mangkudilaga and change. 1996); (Paradise 2005). But these studies do not bring up the meaning of the role of women in the caci tradition. The perception that arises about the cast of cursing is male. Therefore, this study the author examines the tradition of mockery from the perspective of customary law that is democratic and fair. The question is, why and how is the universal interpretation of the caci tradition related to the issue of legal pluralism that is "law of globalization" and "law of glocalization" (law of glocalization) as a legacy of democratic and fair cultural values? Through qualitative research methods with a paradigm of cosntructivism (inductive) with phenomenological approaches, symbolic interaksinism, Hegelian dialectics: thesis, antithesis, and synthesis with anthropological mashap for the study of human behavior and human expression of Manggarai against symbols so that they can find legal meaning in a just manner. constituum and ius constituendum. The research findings reveal that the Caci tradition is an entity and identity of the Manggarai cultural heritage in the realm of the local political scene which is democratic and gender-equitable. The democratic value expressed by the Caci tradition is the existence of a joint discussion between the two camps. Criteri-kiteria caci through mutual agreement. Chivalry norms must be obeyed. Problems that arise in the race match are resolved by mutual consultation (lonto leok / bantama cama reje lele) by prioritizing peace. The fairness value of the caci tradition is that in the caci dance it is not one's domination in the role of caci. No matter how great a person is in the caci tradition, what is highlighted is the value of justice, namely the number of whips between the whip and the deterrent must be the same. The gender justice value of the Caci tradition is that there is a division of roles between men and women. Without the involvement of women's roles in the caci tradition, men as caci players cannot and do not deserve to express themselves on the field (natas) sparring, because they do not perfectly play the facilities of the caci tradition.
