So far, the literary study of oral poetry has been very limited. In fact, oral poetry is a very valuable heritage that stores various knowledge from a particular culture. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore oral literature, especially Kabanti poetry originating from Buton, Indonesia. This study used hermeneutic methods. The primary data source was the Kabanti poem documented by Sultan Muhammad Idrus Kaimuddin in 1824. Research findings suggested that Kabanti poetry represents spirituality, social construction, and social control inherent in ancient Indonesian literary texts. Kabanti poetry reflects the hope of God's grace as part of the social construction of spirituality in everyday life. This reflects that spirituality can be a strong foundation in influencing the social fabric of society. Critical analysis of Kabanti's poetry implied that it enriches the understanding of culture, spiritual values, and social construction in society in a global context.

Investigations on kidungan, a form of traditional Javanese poetry, have been gaining momentum. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reports exploring the value of Javanese cultural wisdom in relation to social dimensions, symbolic politics, and educational values as reflected in kidungan. This study aims to address this gap by delving into the social dimension, symbolic politics, and educational value embedded in traditional Javanese poetry, specifically in kidungan ludruk. The research data for this study is sourced from ludruk performances broadcasted by Radi Republik Indonesia (RRI) East Java and expert interviews. The data collected were then analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques, employing an ethnolinguistic research approach. The findings of this study revealed that ludruk kidungan serves as a social representation of traditional society, encompassing various aspects of social dimensions, symbolic politics, and educational values. An important implication of this study is that kidungan has the potential to contribute to the development of sustainable knowledge, particularly in the fields of culture, politics, and education.
