Abstract

This study aims to analyze forms of community resistance to the confiscation of the traditional alcoholic beverage moke in Sikka Regency, the factors underlying such resistance, and community efforts to preserve moke as a cultural identity and source of livelihood. This study employs James C. Scott’s theory of resistance, which distinguishes resistance into open resistance (public transcript) and hidden resistance (hidden transcript). Moke holds significant cultural, social, and economic value for the people of Sikka. The confiscation of moke by police officers in 2025 generated community opposition because it was perceived as threatening local culture and livelihoods. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving traditional leaders, moke producers, members of the Sikka Regency Regional House of Representatives, local government officials, and PMKRI Maumere student organization members. Data analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate two forms of resistance. Open resistance included demonstrations, advocacy, public demands, and efforts to establish regulations protecting moke as cultural heritage. Hidden resistance involved silent non-compliance, informal criticism, and continued production and distribution. Resistance was driven by cultural, economic, social, policy, and law enforcement factors.
