Masculinity in the Body of Pakkanna Dancers in the Ability to Immunity

Abstract

Pakkanna dance is a new creation dance in Bone Regency that describes the devotion of female heroes during the Bone Kingdom led by Latenrisukki Petta Mulangge Pajung, the 5th King of Bone. This dance is covered with dangerous movements where dancers perform self-stabbing actions using Badik (sharp objects). This is what the author can convey to readers so that they can find out that there is a collection of dance creations in Bone Regency that have immunity like men even though the dancers are women. The findings in discussing the subject matter are that Pakkanna dance is one of the unique things because usually, only the male gender has immunity but in Pakkanna dance it is actually women. The dimensions of women's bodies in Bugis beliefs in Pakkanna dancers have penetrated the gender boundaries of femininity, namely women's needs should not be formed in immunity because women's instincts should be more subtle, more feminist, and softer. Pakkanna dance can be said to be an advantage and disadvantages, where the advantage is that it can equalize its position as the male gender and the disadvantage is that the Malebbi system in Bugis women's beliefs is no longer included in Malebbi because it has followed the male style in immunity.
