GONG RÉNTÉNG INTERNALISASI NILAI DALAM TRANSFORMASI DARI SAKRAL KE PROFAN

Abstract

The existence of Goong Rénténg in the midst of the dynamic development of a society that is slowly detaching itself from the position, role and function of Goong Rénténg, raises the consequence of the fading existence of Goong Rénténg itself. On the other hand, there was an event where the community initiated a "new" cultural event involving Goong Rénténg in the form of a festival that previously had no correlation with the role and function of Goong Rénténg. This led to the transformation of Goong Rénténg from sacred to profane, from rite to entertainment. In addition, the participation of the generation that continues the existence of Goong Rénténg has a significant role, in other words, there is an effective inculturation process from the awareness of the younger generation of Cirebon on efforts to preserve traditional arts. This study focuses on the formulation of the relationship between the existence of festivals initiated by the younger generation of Cirebon with the transformation of sacred profane goong rénténg in West Java.
