Cultural Dynamics of Ubud Noble Families in the Age of Globalization

Abstract

This paper presented about the dynamics of culture and traditions of the Ubud aristocratic family that took place in the era of Globalization, Ubud Palace is one of the tourism powerhouses in Bali. Cultural results have developed in the era of globalisation and culture in Ubud Castle—the introduction of the Puri Family to Europeans in 1927. Further development in 1930, the Ubud area began to be introduced by Walter Spies through his paintings so that Ubud was known to foreign countries, and also packaged cultural products as part of tourist attraction. Furthermore, this paper focuses on cultural dynamics that contain customs and traditions by asking two questions: First, How are the cultural dynamics of Ubud aristocratic families in the era of globalisation? The second tries to trace the forms of cultural dynamics and their implications. Both questions above are answered by elaborating the concepts of dynamics, nobility, tourism and globalisation. The concept is wrapped through theory. Two theories are used in this paper, namely the theory of dynamics and psychological theory, with the methodology of the history of mentality. The results of this paper show an interesting phenomenon: the cultural dynamics experienced by the Ubud nobility cannot be separated from changes in the government system from the kingdom in the form of government. Like The entry of foreign culture with the introduction of a painter from France, Walter Spies and the entry of tourism, there was a cultural dynamic in the life of the noble family of Ubud Royal Palace.
