Abstract

This study discusses a new perspective on writing Indonesian history by presenting a model of the History of Daily Life. This theme is interesting to be raised because the previous historical writing model presents more historical writing that is ruler-centric. The objects that will be studied are the scavenger communities at the Benowo Final Disposal Site in Surabaya. This element of small society needs attention in the writing of history, because this marginal group is rarely touched in the writing of Indonesian history. The use of the subaltern approach is an option in this study by elevating the role of the marginalized lower layers of society. Of course, the use of visual anthropology methods will be tried in unraveling the existence of these scavenger community groups in historical studies. This material seems to have been overlooked in Indonesian historical records because it is rarely disclosed in history learning materials at various levels. This research will analyze the problem from the perspective of social history and how to reveal the daily life of scavengers who are economically involved in overcoming the problems of the group’s welfare.
