Abstract This study about the Aporia of high school students in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi in using Pamali (Taboo) refers to the hesitation or uncertainty experienced by students when faced with situations and conditions of common Pamali in society. The people of Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi describe Pamali as controlling the torso when doing something. Pamali that are inherited from the old to the next generation. Studying aporia pamali means involving local cultural elements in it, describing a culture that focuses on the knowledge system that results in a shared knowledge perspective to read and interpret the surroundings while designing behavioral strategies to deal with cultural situations that have been passed down from society to the next generation. The term deconstruction refers to the cancellation of a single meaning, also intends to examine more deeply concept of previous thinking, referring to the concepts produced by thinkers. Deconstruction aims to carry out criticism of previous thinking concepts. This means that previous meanings can have other meanings after there is a change in meaning. This research is based on the context and focus of the research, namely finding the aporia of Bantaeng Regency’s Senior High School Student, South Sulawesi with an ethnodeconstruction study which includes: the form of aporia, the meaning of aporia, the function and value of aporia. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study showed that four forms of student Aporia were found, which is (1) Aporia as pretended doubt, (2) Aporia as real doubt (3) Aporia as argumentative, and (4) Aporia as tone. Four meanings of Student Aporia, which is (1) emptiness, (2) ignorance (3) wisdom, and (4) doubt and uncertainty. Three functions of student aporia, which is: diagnosis, analysis, understanding and intervention. Two values of Student Aporia, namely (1) justice experiencing infinity, (2) Virtue and courage. The results of the study discuss the clear line between students' Aporia in using Pamali with ethnography and deconstruction because every text always has the potential to deconstruct itself, so that the text can always be read and understood in different ways. Every teacher and educational institution expects students and their output to be able to become standards of politeness, piety, virtue, courage, wisdom and health. Aporia that is deconstructed based on ethnography transforms myths into scientific facts whose truth can be explained literally and reasonably, although it causes other Aporia, the foundation of myth in this study is something that can be used as a persuasive argument to change students' mindsets.
