- Abstract
Glass painting has become the cultural icon of Cirebon. However, today Glass painting fails to maintain a balance of the development and more complicates deeply. This study intends to release glass paintings from involuntary conditions. The purpose of the research is to interpret the aesthetic codes of glass painting in the conditions of cultural involution, symbolic power relations in cultural production and strategies for interpreting cultural involution. A qualitative approach was used with Phenomenology as the research type. Data collection was done by the depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation checks. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, simultaneous verification, and conclusions. The result of the study shows that the strong tendency of the reproductive works with artificial visual aspects processing; The symbolic power has owned by the glass painters because of the strength of symbolic capital and social capital by giving up their work to be reproduced; and glass painting involution occurs because of the weak ownership of capital, habitus reconciles as a structure that structures the actions of painters who have the legitimacy with their epigones, and habitus reproduces the aesthetic code of the predecessors work as a structured structure in order to compete for cultural capital in the domain of cultural production. It can be concluded that glass-painting involution occurs due to the crisis of agent creativity, the choices of complicating into artificially, permissive cultural habitus and the weak of fighting ethos to obtain the capital in the domain of cultural production of glass painting.
