| Summary: | This thesis is a Tionghoa Study in Indonesia post-reformation. During this era, Tionghoa people tried to rebuild their primordial identity, so called �Tradition�. Meanwhile, on the other hand, they gained legitimacy from the government by embracing the state official religion, namely Buddhism. Therefore, since New Order Era, many Klentengs (Tionghoa Shrines) are considered as Vihara. This thesis discusses the boundary between Tradition and Buddhism by looking at the symbolic features in them. Then, it finds the category of Viharas in Makassar. Cap go Meh, as the cultural interaction space, is a very helpful sample in observation for looking at the symbolic features. However, on Cap go Meh 2014, Tionghoa begin to present their ethnic identity as Tionghoa, and not their religious identity as Buddhist. Therefore, Cap go Meh is an interesting phenomenon to discuss |
