“…The influence of Islam also affects several disciplines in popular culture. In traditional knowledge, called "ngelmu", 29 Islam discusses various topics, ranging from cosmological behaviour in the marriage. 30 Islamic popular culture has also emerged in ritualistic forms and social expressions, including in the "Tabot" ritual in Bengkulu to commemorate the Islamic New Year and the martyrdom of Husein's descendants.…”

Abstract: This article aims to explain the Tabot tradition and its cultural construction with the Bengkulu people as a minority group. The Tabot tradition experienced a kind of acculturation process in which two or more cultures met and made contact. Using Berry’s acculturation theory with a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods, this study resulted in a finding that the Tabut tradition resulted from a process of cultural acculturation between different religious and cultural contacts. In its journey, the Tabot is no longer a non-formal tradition but has become a local Bengkulu community organisation with the formation of the Tabot Harmony Family (KKT). The strategy chosen by KKT is to maintain its cultural and community heritage is integration. In this context, integration means maintaining the original culture and cultural contact.Keywords: Tabot, religious-cultural traditions, local Islam, acculturation Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan adat Tabut dan konstruksi budayanya dengan masyarakat Bengkulu sebagai sebuah kelompok minoritas. Adat Tabut mengalami semacam proses akulturasi di mana dua atau lebih budaya bertemu dan melakukan kontak. Menggunakan teori akulturasi Berry dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode etnografi, penelitian ini menghasilkan sebuah temuan bahwa Tabut adalah hasil dari proses akulturasi budaya antara kontak agama dan budaya yang berbeda. Dalam perjalanannya, Tabut bukan lagi sebuah adat tradisi non-formal, melainkan telah menjadi sebuah organisasi masyarakat lokal Bengkulu dengan terbentuknya Keluarga Kerukunan Tabut (KKT). Strategi yang dipilih KKT ialah untuk mempertahankan warisan budaya dan komunitasnya adalah integrasi. Dalam konteks ini, integrasi berarti mempertahankan budaya asli dan tetap melakukan kontak budaya.Kata Kunci: Tabot, Tradisi agama-budaya, Islam lokal, Akulturasi

The Cembengan ceremony is a Slametan tradition commonly practised by sugar factories before the milling season. This ritual is a prayer for high productivity and excellent safety performance in the workplace during the milling process. Wayang is then played as the highlight of the event with Semar Mbangun Kahyangan as one of the usually performed stories. This study seeks to answer this question: What are the traditional safety concepts staged in the Slametan tradition in the workplace? This study used a content analysis approach to identify, analyse, and categorise the recording data of a wayang performance with the story of Semar Mbangun Kahyangan performed by Ki Dalang Hadi Soegito. This study has found that besides human destiny had been written by God, the meaning of Safety can be pursued through a multidimensional harmony, known as manunggaling kawula-Gusti (vertical harmony), silaturahmi (horisontal harmony), the harmony among five knights of Pandawa as a symbol of the physical harmony of five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) and psychological-spiritual harmony. The second finding is that a safety attitude is fostered in line with human development, which is symbolised in Wayang's storyline, first, on the Pathet Enem (infancy to adolescent) safety attitude generated by right-wrong consideration. Second, a safety attitude is an ethical decision within Pathet Sanga (early to middle adulthood). Last, at Pathet Mayura (late adulthood), a safety attitude is a spiritual achievement.
