Abstract

Ronggeng is a cultural artifact that is very popular in the life of Indonesian people, especially in Java. In a historical context, ronggeng which is on the concept was originally viewed as a sacred culture in its development into a profane culture. The reception of ronggeng is not only uttered orally, but also in literature and film. This study aims to describe ronggeng as a cultural artifact and its representation in the film Nyi Ronggeng (1969), Darah dan Mahkota Ronggeng (1983), and Sang Penari (2011). The method used in this research is descriptive analysis method representation theory of Stuart Hall, to see how the image of ronggeng is represented in three films. Although there are similarities, but the three films proved different levels of reception about ronggeng. It illustrates the development of people's thoughts on ronggeng that live within them. Ronggeng as a tradition changes according to the development of community thinking. Ronggeng as a cultural artifact is the manifestation of the ability of local communities to respond and adapt to the environment actively. Similarly, what is represented in the three films about ronggeng is a mirror of the society where the work was born.
