PEMANFAATAN INOVASI KOMIK DIGITAL E-WAYANG GUNA ESKALASI PROMOSI BUDAYA WAYANG DI LINGKUNGAN SMA NEGERI 4 DENPASAR

Abstrak

Indonesia has become well known for its various and unique culture over the years. Local culture, being one of the essential traditions for locals has been passed down over generations and preserved to be kept alive for as long as the human race lives. But unfortunately, even being preserved, local culture is being slowly forgotten and dying as the industrial revolution and the globalization era keeps advancing rapidly. Realizing this, governors and even locals have tried to prevent this upcoming extinction by intensifying the preservation of local culture itself, but this proves to be ineffective as younger generations tends to have a liking to modern and western culture rather than their own native cultures. We as writers, are offering a solution to this problem by combining local culture and modern technology itself as an effort to prevent the stagnant extinction of local culture, by introducing a digital comic about “wayang” that can potentially be a form of educational yet “fun” literature to people around the globe. Through data gathering methods such as observation, the spreading of questionaries and literature reviews, the writer have proven that the innovation the writer has invented titled: “E-WAYANG: INOVASI PEMANFAATAN KOMIK DIGITAL BERBASIS APLIKASI WEBTOON” is indeed an effective solution to solving the internal extinction of local culture in Indonesia.
