Abstract

The aim of this research is to see the religious and cultural context, or more precisely Islam and local faith within Buginese society, of Faisal Oddang’s Tiba Sebelum Berangkat through literary frames. Regarding the period of DI/TII (Islamic State/Indonesian Islamic Army) rebellion and the present, this novel depicted a fictional representation of the indigenous community and long way Islamization of South Sulawesi. The primary data of this research were taken from Oddang’s novel that was published in 2018. In order to support the analysis, the researchers also elaborate secondary data from articles, journal, and books which were related with the issue in this research. By using qualitative method, this research investigated the religious and cultural context which was portrayed within the novel by elaborating Homi K. Bhabha’s notion of hybridity. The research finding showed that the contradiction between Islam and local faith was viewed as forces that collided each other. As the novel suggested, Buginese societies' daily life practices, sacred rituals, and even their political attitudes, in response to rebellious movement that used Islam as the basis of ideology, were determined as hybrid.
