Abstract

This final project is titled “Raden Mas Said’s Mnemonic Dish as the Concept Behind the Creation of Batik Motifs for Couture Apparel.” The creation of this work is inspired by Raden Mas Said’s struggle and by the philosophy of jenang katul, which serves as a symbol of his closeness to the common people. The mnemonic concept was used as the basis for this creation because mnemonics are techniques that help people remember through specific symbols and experiences. Jenang katul was chosen as a mnemonic tool because it holds historical and philosophical significance and is used as an offering in Javanese traditions. The creation of the batik motifs was inspired by the story of Raden Mas Said, who drew a war strategy from Nyi Ageng Karang’s simple advice on how to eat jenang katul. This story is represented through the “Nuju Pusat” motif, which depicts a strategy of attacking from the periphery toward the center. Furthermore, this work also highlights the values of the Tri Dharma and Raden Mas Said’s spirit of nationalism, such as a sense of belonging to the homeland, the courage to defend one’s birthplace, and a spirit of unity. Through this couture fashion piece based on batik motifs, it is hoped that the public will view the work as a reminder to love, preserve, and develop Indonesia’s culture and homeland.

Abstract

Indonesian national costumes have become prominent visual representations of cultural identity in international beauty pageants. However, existing studies tend to emphasize nationalism, aesthetics, or promotional value while giving limited attention to the representational processes through which regional cultural resources become nationally recognizable images. This study investigates how Indonesian national costumes translate the archipelago's cultural diversity into visual narratives for global pageant audiences. Using a qualitative multiple-case visual research design, the study comparatively analyzes costumes by five Indonesian designers through official photographs and videos, designer-produced documentation, institutional archives, contextual cultural sources, and Stuart Hall's theory of representation. The analysis followed six iterative stages: corpus familiarization, visual coding, contextual interpretation, representational analysis, within- and cross-case comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings identify four interconnected processes: visual translation of regional cultural heritage, negotiation between regional and national identities, cultural hybridization, and visual cultural diplomacy. Rather than reproducing tradition literally, designers reinterpret mythology, ritual traditions, architecture, maritime heritage, and indigenous philosophies through contemporary fashion practices that balance authenticity and innovation as well as cultural specificity and global readability. The study extends Hall's representation theory into fashion studies, demonstrates the analytical value of qualitative multiple-case visual research, and proposes the Indonesian National Costume Representation Framework (INCRF). The framework explains how regional cultural resources move through designer interpretation, visual translation, representational negotiation, and international circulation to form nationally recognizable visual identities.
