Abstract

This study aims to investigate the function of the Pakarena Balla’Bulo dance in Selayar Islands Regency because this dance has experienced a shift in the era of hyperreality. This study employed the descriptive qualitative method that described the object of research directly. The data of this study were collected from targets and respondents and through observations, interviews, and documentation. Moreover, this study employed Jean Baudrillard’s hyperreality theory in order to examine the shift of function. The result of this study shows that Pakarena Balla’Bulo dance performed in Benteng District, Selayar Regency has been developing for decades. In each of its developments, several functions of the Pakarena Balla’Bulo dance have changed. In the past, it served one function only, as a ritual, but then it serves three functions nowadays. First, this dance is taught at junior high school as teaching material in order to preserve the culture. Second, this dance serves as entertainment, so it is performed in welcoming ceremonies and social gatherings. At last, it serves the performance function, so it is performed in festivals. The dance functions have changed for some reasons one of which is audience demands in this hyperreality era, thus negating their origin of creating a new reality.
