Abstract

This ethnographic study examined the annual festival of ogoh-ogoh (giant sculpture) held by youth in the international tourist town of Ubud, Bali. Using participant observation supplemented by semi-structured interviews with youth organizations, ritual specialists, master craftsmen, and artists, along with documentary analysis of institutional protocols and competition frameworks, the study reveals that the intersemiotic translation from narrative to sculptural form maintains the link with Balinese folklore, transforming it into desirable cultural capital through hermeneutic problem-solving that requires consultation of palm leaf lontar manuscripts and the involvement of elders. Visual–spatial and kinesthetic processing generates mnemonic amplification, producing mythological preservation, while adaptive transmission demonstrates young people's mastery of contemporary technologies and administrative skills, reinforcing traditional knowledge, enabling organizational sovereignty, and maintaining epistemic authority through strategic opacity. These findings redefine cultural sustainability beyond the conservation–innovation dichotomy, revealing the folkloric vitality that emerges through modernity and touristic culture.

Abstract

Balinese folktales should be preserved and developed in order to improve the emotional intelligence of the nation, especially elementary school children as the future generation. This article analyses the existence of Balinese folktales in character education in elementary school children in Ubud. The study on the use of folktales shows that Balinese folktales contributed to character education in elementary school children. It was shown in the folktale I Lacur which educates cautionary acts, not being envious, being stoical and helpful. The folktale Bulan Kuning also contributes to the formation of the attitude of helpfulness. Stoicism and not doing violence are narrated in the folktale Ni Tuung Kuning which can be used as an alternative in the improvement of children’s character. The folktale I Crucuk Kuning contributes to the formation of honesty, discipline, and responsibility. The folktale Angsa teken I Kekua contributes to the formation of attitudes of not breaking a promise. The use of folktale in teaching not only useful in passing on moral values of the stories but also to preserve the intangible cultural heritage.
