This research aims to uncover the otok-otok tradition as a symbolization of the economic rationality of Madurese society. This study delineates the focal issues within cultural analysis and economic rationality. A rationality is present within the otok-otok tradition, serving as a symbol of the economy and culture of Madurese society. A phenomenological method was employed to reveal and interpret the experiential materials of informants in Pernajuh village, Bangkalan (Madura). The research findings indicate that the otok-otok tradition is a symbolic practice within the community, encompassing economic and social values. This tradition emerges as a historical materialism, and economic rationality results in the emergence of cultural materialism, ultimately contributing to a critical call for cultural economy (tradition).
