| description | This article aims to find the meaning of the representation of the poleng motif
in Balinese women’s clothing. The issues are as follows: 1) How is the poleng
motif represented on Balinese women’s clothing? and 2) Does the poleng motif
in Balinese women’s clothing have a symbolic communication meaning?. In
traditional Balinese culture, the poleng motif in Balinese women’s clothing has
a bad meaning. Most Balinese women note that Poleng patterned clothing is used
in a cultural context, not because it has a bad meaning. Qualitative methods were
heavily relied upon in writing this article, starting with collecting primary data from informants such as pecalang and community leaders. Secondary data sources
were obtained from ancient Balinese literature and research journals through
library research. Data analysis uses symbol theory and reception theory, which are
operationalized qualitatively and interpreted. Results from the study show that: 1)
The way the poleng motif on Balinese women’s clothing representation is sacred,
sets forth a task identity, and is the identity of Balinese fashion identity; and 2) The
poleng motif on Balinese women’s clothing always has a symbolic communicative
meaning in traditional ceremonial activities. Balinese women who use the poleng
motif prioritizes the representation of fashion identity rather than profession or
kawisesan in symbolic communication in a cultural context. |
