Abstract

This study analyzes the integrated ethnoscience system of the Wayang patterned Gringsing cloth, examining its role as an active agent in rituals, and understanding its function as a marker of cultural identity for the Bali Aga Tenganan Pegringsingan community. Qualitative-ethnographic research in Tenganan Pegringsingan, Bali. Data collection techniques: in-depth interviews, participant observation in the Usaba Sambah ritual, and analysis of awig-awig documents. Data analysis techniques: Miles and Huberman's model, Spradley's ethnographic analysis. Theoretical framing: ethnoscience, cultural semiotics, and structuralism. Gringsing is a woven codex that integrates ethno-chemistry (overdyeing as Rwa Bhineda) and ethno-technology. This cloth functions as spiritual armor during liminal rites of passage and a portable constitution that replicates the Tri Mandala. Structural homologies are found that connect the logic of purity in the domains of cloth, body (endogamy), and law (awig-awig). This study introduces productive inefficiency (slowdown as resistance) and structural homology as theoretical frameworks. Practically, this study identifies a controlled commodification model in which Geographical Indications (GI) are used as a defensive shield, leveraging market value to address the artisan regeneration crisis.
