Abstract

Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC) merupakan salah satu budaya yang ada di Indonesia, yaitu budaya yang memadukan beberapa unsur seni diantaranya seni musik seperti drum, karnaval tanpa adanya iringan musik tidak akan ramai, adapun unsur seni lainnya yaitu unsur seni tari yang masuk dalam kemasan carnaval tahunan ini, dan yang paling utama adalah menampilkan kostum-kostum yang menarik untuk dipamerkan di catwalk. Adapun masalah yang cukup pelik saat awal perjalanan JFC adalah rekruitmen anggota. Dapat dikatakan bahwa suatu karnaval akan mampu mendatangkan banyak orang untuk menonoton jika jumlah peserta karnaval juga banyak. Ketika kompetisi antar kota terjadi, setiap kota akan berupaya mencari keunikan-keunikan untuk dijadikan identitas kotanya. Realita yang ada yaitu identitas jember yang sudah ada belum memiliki nilai yang kuat untuk menjadikan brand, sehingga jember tidak mudah ditiru oleh kota-kota lain. JFC hadir dengan beberapa keunggulan terlebih adanya fakta yang memperlihatkan bahwa kekuatan sebuah ekonomi bukanlah satu-satunya keunggulan dalam bersaing, melainkan kapital budaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Penggunaan metode kualitatif ini didasarkan pada substansi penelitian objek  dan kajiannya berhubungan dengan keadaan sosial kultur masyarakat jember. Disamping itu kelompok ini pun telah menunjukkan sebuah paradigma perilaku sosial yang berhasil menghasilkan peruabahan positif dalam lingkungan dan memberikan banyak prestasi gemilang.
