“…Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu saat bangsa penjajah sudah tidak ada lagi, maka peran jawara mulai mengalami pergeseran. Pada era reformasi, pengakuan terhadap peran jawara mulai tumbuh terutama dalam menciptakan oligarki lokal di Banten dengan cara-cara yang terlarang (Pribadi, 2011). Kesan masyarakat terhadap sosok jawara mulai terasa tidak baik dan terjadi konotasi negatif terhadap istilah jawara di mata masyarakat pada umumnya (Cahyo, 2017).…”

The aim of this study is to examine how the champion's local wisdom is depicted in Qizink La Aziva's novel entitled Kelomang. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data sources are represented in the novel as words that describe the champion's local wisdom. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques in three stages: categorization, tabulation, and inference. The study's findings show that the champion's figure in the novel's characters is good at selfdefence, courage, leadership, armed with machetes and agate, speaking candidly, and a culture of violence. In this novel, a black champion is depicted in the form of Sakib, who is always willing to justify any means to achieve his goal. The idea of a white champion, on the other hand, is portrayed in the character of Saija, who battles for the betterment of society. This study's findings may have implications for learning Indonesian in senior high schools. This is because there are learning components connected to character education in the 2013 Curriculum. The novel's good characters can serve as role models for students.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui representasi kearifan lokal jawara dalam novel Kelomang karya Qizink La Aziva. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yang bersifat deskriptif kualitatif. Data berupa kalimat-kalimat dalam novel yang menggambarkan kearifan lokal jawara. Analisis data dilakukan dengan teknik deskriptif kualitatif melalui beberapa tahapan, yaitu 1) kategorisasi, 2) tabulasi, dan 3) inferensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan representasi sosok jawara yang terdapat pada tokohtokoh yang ada pada novel tersebut bersifat jago bela diri, pemberani, berjiwa pemimpin, bersenjatakan golok dan memakai batu akik, berbicara ceplas-ceplos, dan budaya kekerasan. Dalam novel ini muncul sosok jawara hitam yang tergambar pada sosok Sakib yang selalu menghalalkan segala cara demi mendapatkan tujuannya. Sebaliknya, sosok jawara putih tergambar pada sosok tokoh Saija yang berjuang demi kepentingan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian ini dapat diimplikasikan dalam pembelajaran bahasa Indonesia di Sekolah Menengah Atas. Hal demikian disebabkan karena di dalam Kurikulum 2013 terdapat komponen-komponen pembelajaran yang berkaitan dengan penguatan pendidikan karakter. Siswa dapat meneladani karakter baik pada tokoh-tokoh yang ada pada novel tersebut.

“…Dalam bagian lain, meskipun secara kelembagaan negara (baca: pemerintahan daerah) ulama terhegemoni oleh kekuatan jawara, tetapi pengaruh sosialnya sebenarnya masih jauh lebih mendominasi dibandingkan dengan jawara. Sementara itu, relasi personal yang terbentuk diantara kedua kelompok tersebut relatif masih berlangsung secara patronklien yang menempatkan posisi ulama lebih superior dibandingkan dengan jawara, lihat dalam Pribadi (2011).…”

“…Dinamika Peran Sosial Politik Ulama dan Jawara di Pandeglang Banten berubah dan Pribadi (2011) dalam kesimpulan mengemukakan bahwa meskipun jawara menjadi semacam raja kecil di politik lokal Banten, namun relasinya dengan ulama masih menandakan kepatuhannya kepada tokoh agama tersebut yang berarti ikatan patronklien di antara keduanya masih terjalin.…”

“…Meskipun penampilan jawara secara politik relatif mendominasi, ternyata tidak mengubah kekuasaan sosial ulama yang lebih powerful dibandingkan dengan jawara sebagaimana temuan penelitian Pribadi (2011), faktor ini terjadi karena masih terjalinnya relasi patron-klien diantara keduanya. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kondisi antara peran sosial-politik keduanya dengan struktur kekuasaan yang ada.…”

Abstract. The focus on this article is to examine the social and political roles of ulama and jawara in Pandeglang (Banten). But recently, there is a trend that there is a decrease in ulama's political roles in one side, and a highly increase in political roles that are played by jawara in the other side. Though in the local political constellation jawara dominate ulama, but in social power aspect ulama is still the most powerful actor and still dominate jawara. To explore this fact, researcher will analyze it by power relation approaches that indicate there are a special kind of patron-client relation between ulama and jawara. In this research, descriptive qualitative is chosen as the research method with a case study as the research approach. Some of ulama, jawara, the elders, santri and the common people (the grassroots) are chosen as the informant by the key person technique.

Fokus dalam tulisan ini adalah mengkaji peran sosial-politik ulama dan jawara di Pandeglang (Banten). Saat ini, terdapat kecenderungan adanya penurunan dalam peran politik ulama di satu sisi, dan peningkatan yang sangat tinggi dalam peran politik yang dimainkan jawara di sisi lain.

Untuk mengeksplorasi fakta ini, peneliti akan menganalisisnya melalui pendekatan relasi kekuasaan yang mengindikasikan terdapat suatu jenis relasi patron-klien khas antara ulama dan jawara. Dalam penelitian ini, deskriptif kualitatif dipilih sebagai metode penelitian dengan studi kasus sebagai pendekatannya. Beberapa ulama, jawara, sesepuh (tokoh masyarakat), santri dan masyarakat biasa dipilih sebagai informannya melalui teknik key person berdasarkan strategi purposive sampling.

“…In another article, Bubandt [9] describes the involvement of magic in political affairs and regional head elections in North Maluku by asking ancestral spirits. Then, Pribadi [10] explains the magic people like jawara (strongmen) and kyai (charismatic religious teachers) in seeking power in Banten. They were involved in winning the Golkar party and the candidate for Governor of Benten, Ratu Atut Chosiyah, in 2007.…”

The transformation in the election of regional heads from indirect to direct since 2005 brought many changes to the dynamics of local politics in Indonesia. One of these changes is the opening up of opportunities for community members as candidates for regional heads and the strengthening of power relations between candidates and urang pandai. A clearer understanding of the position of urang pandai in West Sumatra will help stakeholders in the election to map out the forces that will support a higher-quality election. This research uses the historical method. There are four stages in the historical method, namely; heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study reveal two typologies of urang pandai in Minangkabau culture involved in the election of regional heads, namely the sufi healer, and orang berakuan. Direct regional head election regulations lead to intense competition between candidates. The amount of material sacrifice and strong pressure to win encourages candidates to find someone who has magical abilities and is placed as a spiritual mentor and political advisor. Wirid, tahlilan (reading prayers), pilgrimage to the grave, giving prayers, terawangan (divination) and the use jimat (amulets) are the practice of power relations between people and candidates.
