摘要:Makalah ini berkenaan tentang kewujudan sebuah legenda kepahlawanan bernama Monsopiad yang meninggalkan kesan terhadap pembentukan identiti etnik Kadazandusun di Sabah. Citra keperibadian mengenai Mo nsopiad sebagai sebahagian daripada elemen identiti lokal sangat signifikan dalam mencorakkan dan memahami struktur kehid upan asas manusia etnik Kadazandusun. Justeru, tujuan utama makalah ini ditulis ialah untuk (i) memahami dan meneroka kefahaman informan terhadap Legenda Kepahlawanan Monsopiad sebagai elemen identiti etnik Kadazandusun dan (ii) untuk mengenalpasti fungsi legenda dalam memperkasa etnik masa kini. Penelitian telah dijalankan di Kampung Kuai Kandazon, Penampang, Sabah menggunakan kaedah in-depth-interview dan pemerhatian tidak turut serta. Dengan menggunakan pensampelan purpossive, sebanyak lapan orang informan dalam kalangan etnik Kadazandusun telah dipilih untuk memerihalkan kefahaman mereka berdasarkan pengalaman harian. Hasil kaj ian mendapati bahawa etnik Kadazandusun yang melalui fungsi penyesuaian identiti masih mengamalkan adat dan kepercayaan tradisi dalam beberapa elemen kehidupan. Perubahan ruang dan masa yang berlangsung di hadapan mereka tidak membawa perubahan holistik dalam konteks ruang sosial mereka. Malahan usaha mereka dalam mengekalkan identiti jelas diperlihatkan menerusi up acara ritual dan penglibatan mereka dalam aktiviti yang menyat ukan etnik kelompoknya.
其他摘要:Iconic personalities may exert powerful influence in the shaping of a people's identity. This study examined, through the perspective of key local informant s, the manifestasion of a legendary warrior named Monsopiad who had impacted the formation of Kadazandusun ethnic identity in Sabah. The twofold objectives were to understand and explore the informant's comprehension o f the Monsopiad heroic legend as an element of the Kadazandusun ethnic identity, and to identify the function of legends in contemporary empowerment of ethnic identity. A case study was conducted in Kuai Kandazon Village, Penampang, Sabah utilizing participant non-observations and in- depth interviews of eight Kadazandusun ethnic informants involving the use of purpossive and 'snow ball sampling' . The results of the study revealed that the Kadazandusun ethnic had undergone identity assimilation but still practiced traditional customs and beliefs in some aspects of their daily life. The space-time change that occurred before their very eyes did not bring holistic changes in their social space context. Moreover, their effort to preserve their ethnic identity was clearly evidenced by their continued observance of ritual ceremo nies and activities that sought to unite the ethnic group.
