Abstract

The objectives of this study are (1) to explain and describe the local traditions in several Indonesian novels such as Umar Kayam's novel Para Priyayi which represents a novel containing Javanese tradition, the novel Tarian Bumi by Oka Rusmini which represents a novel containing Balinese tradition, the novel Sali by Dewi Linggarsari which represents a novel with Papuan tradition value; (2) to explain and describe the socio-cultural change in novels which represent the socio-cultural change in Indonesia. The method in this study is descriptive qualitative using a content analysis technique. The source of data is document, namely the novel Priyayi by Umar Kayam, Tarian Bumi by Oka Rusmini and Sali by Dewi Linggarsari. The data collection technique is by reading and analyzing the novels to find out the traditions of the novel Priyayi by Umar Kayam, Tarian Bumi by Oka Rusmini and Sali by Dewi Linggarsari and the socio-cultural changes reflected in the novels. The data validity technique uses a triangulation theory. The data analysis technique uses an interactive model analysis of Miles and Hubermann. The result of the study shows that there is a Javanese tradition in the Umar Kayam's novel Para Priyayi which is represented through social stratification of Javanese society divided into noble, priyayi and wong cilik (common people); there is a Balinese tradition in the novel Tarian Bumi by Oka Rusmini shown by tradition and caste held firmly in Bali; there is a tradition value of Dani tribe community in Papua in the novel Sali by Dewi Linggarsari related to tradition of marriage and typical customs of Dani tribe. In the three novels also show the existence of socio-cultural change in the society in each culture. This socio-cultural change is evolutionary, which means the cultural community in the area undergoes a socio-cultural change slowly and over a long period of time. In the novel shows that there is a society that adapts to the value of socio-cultural change, and also societies who oppose the socio-cultural change they experience because of the desire to maintain the tradition. In the three novels show that there is a cultural change from tradition to modernity due to the entry of Western culture, but the change did not go well due to the clash of traditional culture and the modernity culture.
