Abstract
Because of external social political-economical structure, most of Pangcah/Amis “Ilsin” ritual (festival) had been experienced process from “Close down” to“Revival”.The ritual nature aslo transform from religion to ethnic identity. Cultural element displayed in “Ilsin” ritual depend on its own regional or historical context, especially the predominant of modern country and the intension of capitalism.
My thesis try to through four Pangcah/Amis tribe: Ma-Tai-An (Fata’an), Gang-Kau (Makotaay), Dien-Koang ( Kaadaadaan), Sin-Fu-Li to illustrate “Play As a Kind of Strategy about Ethnic Identity Generate”. By the performance of variously cultural element, play, and joking relationship the Pangcah/Amis people reconstruct relation with others and self.
Through work-exchange, polyphony we could find the concept of “Competition while cooperation” and further explore “Mangudu”- feel embarrassed- as a keypoint to understanding Pangcah/Amis people how to use humor, joke and play to solve unblanced social relation and potential conflict.
Contemporary “Ilsin” ritual (festival), in addition to the cultural elements - language, dress, music and dance, age class - such as the highlight of the ethnic boundery, the "Play" act on integration, consultation mechanisms for various types of heterogeneous populations. In other words, "Play with each other" a sense of ethnic identity to generate the trigger strategy, which is probably not just a product of contemporary situations, but under a continuation of historical context.
