Abstract

Research was conducted to create animation as a vehicle for the relief of Sri Tanjung in Panataran Temple as an education of cultural insight of the archipelago. The development of technology has brought changes in various aspects, one of which is education and entertainment (edutainment) media. Temple reliefs, which are one of the cultures of Indonesian literature, are starting to be less attractive to the younger generation now, especially the onslaught of foreign cultures that enter Indonesia. Preservation efforts need to be made because the temple reliefs contain local wisdom of Nusantara culture, which contains moral values that are beneficial to today's generation. By transforming the reliefs of Sri Tanjung stories in Panataran Temple into animated form, it is hoped that literacy through technological adaptation and education of Nusantara cultural insights is expected to be disseminated to the younger generation. The method of creation and presentation is carried out through stages: (1) exploration of ideas and ideas for the creation of Sri Tanjung animation creations; (2) model design to find animation designs through the outsourcing approach; and (3) the presentation of animated films to facilitate the delivery of educational messages of Nusantara cultural insights for today's generation. The results of the research are expected to be through the transfer of vehicles and technology adaptation, namely animation, the younger generation will have a reference to the extraordinarily rich cultural insights of the archipelago. So that a sense of national nationalism grows and is aware of the cultural richness of one's own nation.

Abstract

The historical development in the frame of Nusantara cultural art will not be separated from the role of the great empire that once triumphed in Indonesia. Majapahit as one of the great kingdoms that in history was able to unite the archipelago certainly had a hand in the development of nusantara cultural arts, for example is the Majapahit ornament. One of the ornaments that is considered monumental is the Majapahit solar, because most consider it as the symbol of the Majapahit State, some consider it a symbol of reminding life. Learning and living the form and meaning of ornaments, it requires a certain knowledge and skill and a long time, considering that ornaments have various aspects such as: types of motifs, patterns, representations, values or meanings behind the form, depiction techniques, and different applications. Surya Majapahit also has unique and diverse characteristics of each very complex visual presentation ranging from the shape of the image, the naming of the parts of the image, and its meaning. And one of the important elements is the learning of the meaning behind a form that is acceptable and correctly understood, that the presence of ornaments in every building, especially sacred buildings, certainly has words and teachings that are used as guidelines for the supporting community in its time.

Abstract

This study traces the visual transformation of the Surya Majapahit, the eight-pointed solar emblem of Majapahit, as it moved from Hindu-Buddhist temples to the Islamic Great Mosque of Demak in Java. While prior scholarship has focused on the motif within its original religious context, how it was actively renegotiated during the Hindu-Islamic transition remains underexamined. Using Erwin Panofsky’s iconological method integrated with translocality, data were drawn from direct observation of six key artifacts spanning the Majapahit, transitional, and Demak periods, supplemented by interviews with site custodians. The analysis identifies a three-phase transformation: from a dense mandala containing anthropomorphic deities, through progressive figurative reduction, to a fully abstract geometric ornament integrated into Islamic decorative schemes. The radial core and central circle persistently survived, while narrative theological content was systematically eliminated. This process, termed “semiotic thinning,” involves the selection of a pliable structural core, reduction of specific iconography, and repositioning across mediums and spaces to align with aniconic Islamic aesthetics. The study concludes that this mechanism of visual negotiation enabled cultural continuity and the production of a new Javanese-Islamic identity. The findings contribute a model of symbolic adaptation in contexts of religious change.

Abstract

Macan Kurung statue is a distinctive cultural artifact from Jepara, which is now becoming increasingly rare. This study aims to reveal a discourse of self-representation and counter-culture, constructed by the socio-cultural conditions of Javanese society during the colonial period. The research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach and cultural semiotic analysis. Data were collected through observation, document studies, and in-depth interviews with heirs and artisans. The results indicate that the Macan Kurung Statue is not merely an aesthetic product but a visual narrative containing an anti-colonial message. Moreover, after R.A. Kartini took a role in making the Tiger Statue which was guided directly by Singowiryo. Through the symbols of a caged and chained tiger, a mighty Garuda bird, and a dragon. It’s founders, Asmo Sawiran and Singowiryo, conveyed criticism ofvcolonialism and an effort to reaffirm the legitimacy of Javanese culture as an adiluhung (sublime and majestic) and dynamic entity amidst the penetration of foreign cultures. These findings contribute significantly to the understanding of the role of folk art as a medium for political expression and a guardian of cultural identity.

Abstract

The transformation of visual symbols in contexts of religious transition is a complex phenomenon of cultural communication. This article analyzes the symbolic negotiation of Surya Majapahit, the eight-pointed solar emblem of the Majapahit Empire, as a visual communication medium that persisted across the shift from Hindu-Buddhist to Islamic cosmology in Java. Existing scholarship has largely overlooked how this symbol was actively renegotiated rather than passively inherited. Using a qualitative iconological method integrated with translocality theory, data were collected through artifact observation at temples, tombs, and the Great Mosque of Demak; semi-structured interviews with site custodians and cultural practitioners; and document analysis. The findings reveal a three-phase transformation: (1) full cosmological icon, (2) figurative reduction, and (3) geometric abstraction. The radial core was strategically retained as the communicative core, while Hindu-Buddhist figurative content was gradually eliminated to adapt to the aniconic Islamic visual regime. This symbol, therefore, functioned as a translocal node that actively produced a new Javanese-Islamic locality. The study contributes to intercultural visual communication by proposing “semiotic thinning” as a mechanism of symbolic continuity amid religious change. Limitations and recommendations for heritage interpretation and future research are outlined.
