Abstract

This study attempts to explain how Javanese ideology and culture, as articulated by the poet R. Ng. Yasadipura II in Serat Wicara Keras, marked the beginning of the hegemony of the Javanese aristocratic group over the Kawula group. Hegemonic analysis, interpretation, and text analysis are all used in this study. Structural analysis approaches are included in the text analysis method. Interpretation based on the semiotics of Charles Sanders Pierce. Antonio Gramsci's theory informs hegemony analysis. This study discovered that under Sunan Paku Buwana IV's rule, the Javanese people (group kawula) suffered numerous moral and social failures. Some of the disadvantages include the loss of supernatural abilities in a large number of individuals, offspring of priests who no longer fast, and children of poets who are illiterate. Faced with this, Poet R. Ng. Yasadipura II in the Serat Wicara Keras teaches people to imitate the ancestral priyayi. The teachings of the Serat Wicara Keras became the beginning of the domination of the priyayi group over the kawula group in Javanese society. Priyayi hegemony occurs over the subject through the concept of a budaya adi luhung, only the culture of the priyayi group is considered valuable, the culture of the subordinate (kawula) group is not valuable.
