| description | The central focus of this article is the hikajat Sawitto (hS), a 12-page typed
text in the Latin script and Malay language constructed in the 1930s from
mainly oral Bugis sources. The hS provides an important insight into how
the past was transmitted in South Sulawesi and the relationship between
orality and writing. Discussion of the hS is framed within this broader
context and begins with an overview of Bugis and Makasar2 historical prose
works, focusing mainly on the few longer written compositions dating from
the 17th, to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and the factors that
influenced their creation. Central to the article is the argument that these
written works are not representative of Bugis and Makasar historical
sources and that orality played the primary role in transmitting the past.
The article further demonstrates how the hS was constructed from
independent sources and what these sources can reveal about the history of
Sawitto. An annotated translation of the hS is presented within the article
and the original appended. |
