Pantulan Budaya Lokal “Makna Filosofis dan Simbolisme Motif Batik Klasik” untuk Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter

Abstract

Local wisdom is one of the principles of development and Implementation of Strengthen- ing Character Education (SCE). It is argued that one of the dominant influences of globalization is "cultural imperialism" or "cultural homogeneity," which affects the loss of youth experience and understanding of local cultural diversity. Local wisdom will proactively transform global products into meaningful and appropriate to local social and cultural life. Local wisdom, as the "found tradi- tion" shows that the past culture is not really abandoned even though times have changed. The construction of batik culture has grown in the awareness of society with all its uniqueness. Batik is able to survive across the ages and eventually become an heritage legacy. The dynamic reinterpre- tation of the core values of philosophical meanings and the symbolism of classical batik motifs is done with the contemporary context for the strengthening of character education.
