Otang Tengka, Women, Resilience, Madurese EthnicAbstract
Otang tengka is a Madurese ethnic tradition synonymous with the role of married women in giving and receiving donations from groceries to those with special needs, such as for births, marriages, and even funerals. In practice, this tradition imposes economic demands as there is an obligation to participate in donation activities, mainly when the community's financial condition is middle to lower. This study aims to identify the forms of resilience developed by women who play essential roles in carrying out traditions, especially in Besuki Village, Besuki District, Situbondo Regency, East Java – the focus of this research. Bonnie Benard's resilience theory examines the various forms of women's resilience. This study adopts qualitative research methods, utilizing observation and interviews for data collection. The findings indicate several forms of resilience developed by married women, including engaging in trade as a form of autonomy, negotiating as a problem-solving strategy, managing family finances as an expression of purpose and future orientation, and socializing as a manifestation of a sense of humor.
