BUDAYA HIBRIDA MASYARAKAT CIREBON
ABSTRACT: Cirebonis is one of
the major of economic distribution network in the archipelago. This city has
created a network of its own culture, so many social transformations and their
cultural phenomena often appear in different forms with centers of cultural
mainstream, both culture (and language) Sundanese or Javanese. The research
question is how hybrid’s culture formed according to the city growth?. How
cultural hybridity practice is a process of cross-cultural as genealogical
heritage of community? Studies using ethnographic approach through in-depth
interviews and direct observation was about to explain how Cirebon community
articulate their views on the city and the mapping of the ethnic relationship,
which is between the Sundanese as owner of the mainstream culture with Wong
Java (Java Koek) as the holder of marginal culture. This study found that the
cross-cultural process have resulted in cultural hybridityis never clearly
demarcated. It could even give birth to new cultural patterns that are more
inclined to the mainstream culture, oral so the marginal culture, as seen in
the case of cross-cultural marriage that gave to the language selection, the
Sunda Koek or Jawa Koek, different with each cultural center
