Abstrak
Kekerasan terhadap guru bukan saja menjadi isu nasional, melainkan juga telah mengarah pada kriminalisasi, bahkan sampai pada politisasi guru. Kenyataan itu juga dapat ditelusuri dalam novel Sastra Bali Modern (SBM) berjudulManah Bungah Lenyah di Toyobungkah ‘Cinta Mekar, Layu di Toyobungkah’ (2002) karya I Nyoman Manda. Di sini, digambarkan tokoh guru dari keluarga berstatus anak tunggal baik laki-laki maupun perempuan sama peliknya dalam menghadapi belenggu adat, tradisi, dan agama. Kepelikan itu terkait dengan proses pewarisan yang tidak hanya bersifat fisik (sekala) tetapi juga spirit (niskala). Dalam posisi dilematis itulah, tokoh guru dari keluarga berstatus anak tunggal memilih berdamai dengan belenggu adat demi menyelamatkan keluarga masing-masing. Guru mengalah untuk memuliakan adat demi harmonisasi. Hal ini juga mengonfirmasi bahwa benteng kebudayaan Bali berada di tangan keluarga Bali yang diikat melalui sistem banjar di wilayah teritorial desa adat. Keluarga dengan anak tunggal lebih-lebih berprofesi sebagai guru, diharapkan menjadi pilar penyangga yang mampu menyaring secara selektif aneka pengaruh yang hendak menghancurkan. Guru diniatkan untuk memperkuat barisan ke dalam tanpa menutup diri keluar terkait dengan perubahan (dinamika) masyarakatnya. Jati diri manusia Bali harus tetap dijaga sesuai dengan wacana Ajeg Bali.
