KONSTRUKSI MAKNA BUDAYA ISLAM PADA MASYARAKAT ACEH

Abstract

This paper explores the culture of Islam that is practiced in rural communities in Aceh. Cultural practices are carried from generation to generation. This paper uses Berger viewpoint associated with externalizing, internalizing, and objectification that is synergistic with the Herbert Blumer’s theory of symbolic interactionist to see the reality of meaning. The results shows that the cultural practice is still running strong today due to the construction of the three pillars of an active role in this community, namely 1) the construction process through intergenerational value transfer, 2) meunasah or mosque as a center for media uniformity of meaning that construct and maintain a common meaning, and 3) social feedback as the binding effect of community participation.
