Tracing collective memory and social change in the communities around Limboto Lake, Gorontalo
Abstract
This paper analyzes the collective memories and social changes in communities that have been living around Limboto Lake. This lake, which has been praised by the ancestors of the people of Gorontalo, has turned into a catastrophic lake. This change is intimately related to changes in ways of thinking and the social conditions of the communities around the lake. These social changes are not only due to natural changes and disasters, but also the political, social, and economic situation. Furthermore, the community’s attachment to their collective memory, which has been preserved through tradition and oral narrative, has been slowly disappearing. This study uses an ethnographic method to trace the collective memories of this society. Moreover, this paper utilizes the concept of oral tradition as history.
