Abstract

The tradition of the community could be a marker of identity in order to distinguish with others. This paper will examine katoba tradition in Munanese society, an initiation ritual for boys and girls, which is called Islamizing (pengislaman) ceremony. The way people see the obligatory of katoba in conjunction with the children's names in Muna, the way people interpret the meaning of katoba, and the practice of this ritual frame the identity as Munanese Muslim. The identity is confirmed and reproduced by the community in two ways, in the lifecycle rituals and inside and outside the culture central of Muna. The identity as Munanese Muslim identify in every stage of life cycle ritual and in the way people assert the ritual inside and outside Muna shows the process of continuing identity reproduction that never ended. By using interpretive perspective, I would argue that katoba tradition is to understand and interpret what they mean by Islam and Muna as wells. Katoba in Munanese society is the image of religion (Islam) and culture (Muna) at the same time. Therefore, undergoing katoba is becoming Munanese Muslim. Keywords: religion and tradition, initiation ritual, Munanese Muslim, identity reproduction.
