Abstract

The Land of Parahyangan has many oral literature and oral traditions. One of them is Ciamis Regency that has massively ritual tourism that can be seen from the the welcome to the farewell gate--leading to Banjar City, such as Situ Lengkong, tombs of the ancestors of Galuh, Imbanagara Museum, Kuta Forbidden Village, or Astanagede Memorial Complex. There are also many readings, prohibitions, and rules as a heritage from its ancestors. This research is focused on kidung, a type of traditional kidung, such as pupuh or geguritan that has a deep meaning to be learned for. Kidungs are usually well-composed at nighttime by a poet, a supreme master, or a mother who is giving advice to her child. Those are delivered with the aim of reminding listeners to remember the Lord of nature, ancestors, or ethics that must be carried out. Those are related to the image of the leader and the leadership. What kind of concepts of leadership that is found in the Kidung? What are the conditions that a leader must see? The purpose of this study is to get a description of the ideal image of the leader and leadership in oral literature, such as the kidung of Ciamis. This research is qualitative with the concept of content research. From the first observation, we found that being a leader is not easy, he must have multitasking skills, a complete personality, and be able to be fair and wise.
