Review

This paper, "Struktur dan Fungsi Satra Lisan dalam Cerita Rakyat Siengkang di Kabupaten Wajo: Kajian Strukturalisme Levi-Strauss," presents a valuable and focused investigation into a significant piece of Bugis oral literature. The research meticulously aims to describe the structure and function of the Siengkang folktale, a narrative from Wajo Regency about Princess We Tadampalik. By specifically applying the structuralist framework of Levi-Strauss, the study seeks to uncover the inherent patterns and cultural meanings embedded within this traditional story, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of Bugis heritage. The methodology employed is descriptive, involving a systematic process of observation, interviews, recording, and transcription of the narrative data. The subsequent analysis follows a structured approach, encompassing data identification, classification, and detailed description. A key strength of this research lies in its rigorous application of Levi-Strauss's structuralist theory to dissect core narrative elements such as motif, plot, setting, characters, characterization, and theme. The findings reveal a compelling interconnectedness among these structural components, demonstrating how they collectively convey profound philosophical insights and traditional Bugis wisdom pertinent to community life. Additionally, the study effectively identifies the crucial social functions of Siengkang as a source of entertainment, education, and a vital mechanism for preserving local values and advice within the Bugis community. In conclusion, this research offers a substantial contribution to folklore studies and the understanding of Bugis cultural dynamics. By employing a robust theoretical lens, the authors have successfully illuminated the intricate relationship between the narrative form and its underlying cultural messages in the Siengkang folktale. The identification of its dual role as both an entertaining story and a pedagogical tool for cultural transmission highlights the enduring significance of oral traditions. This study provides a strong foundation for future research exploring the broader implications of Bugis oral literature in shaping identity and fostering community cohesion, ultimately offering valuable insights into the richness of local wisdom.
