- Abstract
As an Indonesian cultural heritage, keris plays an important role, especially in Javanese society, and more dinamics in the keris society, which continues to preserve the keris to this day. On the one hand, the preservation of the keris is carried out by continuing to care for the keris as an object, but on the other hand, it is also caring for and developing discourse on the keris. Among the many discourses surrounding the keris, the biggest and perhaps the center of the discourse on keris today is the strengthening of one's identity as a Javanese. This discourse is emerged both as a logical consequence of the presence of the keris in Javanese society since centuries ago and the development of discourse in the present. This article will discuss the identity discourse that appears in the keris. Through the framework of Foucault's discourse analysis, this article finds that the identity discourse that dominates or even covers the Javanese keris exists as a dynamic discourse and always responds to changes in Javanese society in general.
