ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out how gender and cultural locality are articulated in Javanese cultural films, such as Natalan and Tilik which were produced using special funds from the government of Special Region of Yogayakarta (DIY).This research also sees how gender and local culture is presented as a medium to legitimize the power of the state apparatus. This study can be used to see how the ideology works behind the preservation effort of local culture. This research uses a qualitative approach and Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) method. The findings of this study are, the cultural locality is interpreted in an essentialist way. Local and global conversations in the film are presented in a contradictory and dichotomous manner. Furthermore, women who still uphold local cultural values are portrayed as positive figures, and those who leave local culture are portrayed as negative figures. The various narratives of cultural locality that are built in these films are closely related to the ideology of state apparatus as stated in the various regional regulations rolled out by the DIY government. The films become a medium for the state apparatus hegemony to discipline, standardize, and control cultural production through images and texts.
