Power Relations In Changing the Culture Of The Community Power Relations In Changing The Culture Of Society

Abstract

This study focuses on the workings of power between actors of unequal political and religious. The study used a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design. The study was conducted in a local religious community in the province of Central Java. The results are as follows: In the structure and relationships of unequal political and religious, power is practiced in a variety of social scopes through the fabric of social relations. Inside it, the actors/agents use strategy and capital, giving rise to a dominance dynamic, or intersection, and the dialectical relationship between the actor/agent and structure. Power also has resulted in new knowledge for each actor.
