REPRESENTASI BUDAYA JAWA PADA FILM SEWU DINO

Abstract

This research aims to find out the representation of traditions, mystical beliefs, cultural values, and social structure of the Javanese people in the film "Sewu Dino". The background of mystical beliefs and cultural values in Javanese society is the main focus point in this analysis. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach to build the conceptual framework needed for analysis. A literature review of Literary Anthropological concepts, such as cultural representation, symbolism, and social structure, is conducted to gain a deep understanding before applying the approach in analyzing films. The analysis was carried out by identifying important elements in the film that reflect the cultural values and social structure of Javanese society, such as the use of symbols, gender representation, and power dynamics. The results of the analysis show that the film "Sewu Dino" succeeded in depicting in depth the traditions, mystical beliefs, and social structure of the Javanese people. Through the representation of the "Sewu Dino" ritual, the film reveals cultural values such as fortitude, sacrifice, and courage, and highlights the role of women in maintaining traditions and fighting gender inequality. In addition, the film also shows the dynamics of power in Javanese society, where mystical forces are often manipulated to maintain social dominance.
