Indonesian Batik Translation: A Case Study

This case study centers on Javanese–Indonesian batik, an art form recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a masterpiece of human heritage in 2009, and the cultural diversity delineated in its diverse patterns, symbolizing Indonesia’s historically complex religious views, cultures, and ethnic identities. While batik has a global reputation, it is also under attack. Today, simplified formats are designed and applied commercially, and batik patterns are used without reference either to meaning, or mode of production, jeopardizing batik’s cultural identity. Therefore, this project investigates alternative materials and more minimalist forms of batik, to consider batik’s future role and the forms it might take. By combining original forms with new formats and media, this project, first, serves as a way to re-contextualize local culture within new frameworks. And second, it seeks to develop a hybrid praxis that prompts dialogue to support cultural continuance of the batik tradition.

Production waste analysis using value stream mapping and waste assessment model in a handwritten batik industry

Batik is one of Indonesian cultural heritage that confirmed by United Nations of Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on October 2009. This legal confirmation improves the number of batik industry from many regions based its local unique characteristic. The increasing number of batik SMEs in Indonesia requires a strategy that can create competitive advantage. This strategy can be done by reducing production waste. One of Indonesian batik SMEs is SME Batik CM located in Yogyakarta. There are several problems that occur in the industry, i.e. length of the production process, spots on Batik and excessive raw materials inventory. Based on that problems, this research is done by applying lean manufacturing concept using value stream mapping (VSM) method to evaluate production wastes. Based on the result of the research, there are seven types of production waste: overproduction (9,62%), inventory (17,3%), defect (23,08%), motion (9,62%), transportation (9,62%), Over processing (9,62%) and waiting (21,15%). Process improvement is done to reduce the highest waste, defect, using quality filter mapping (QFM).

The effect of microwax composition on the staining quality of Klowong Batik Wax

Batik is one of the most highly developed Indonesian art forms that had been designated by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Batik wax is considered as the main material to make Batik, especially for handmade Batik in which the pattern and carve applied directly by the artisans. Melted wax (Malam) is made from a mixture of melted damar mata kucing, gondorukem, beeswax, and paraffin. This study aimed to substitute the beeswax which was difficult to find into microwax made from paraffin which is available in huge amount as well as easily searchable. Microwax varied as many as four samples with the equal variable. The samples were then tested used Spectrophotometer to test the colour difference, colour ageing test, rub test (wet, dry, and endurance soap). The results showed that microwax can be used to substitute the function of beeswax with appropriate composition. It is highly expected that the increasing of melted wax quality can increase the quality of Batik itself as well as the preservation of Indonesian Batik as a cultural heritage.

Determination of SVM-RBF Kernel Space Parameter to Optimize Accuracy Value of Indonesian Batik Images Classification

Abstract: Image retrieval using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification verydepends on kernel function and parameter. Kernel function used by dot productsubstitution from old dimension feature to new dimension depends on imagedataset condition. In this research, parameter of Gaussian /Radial BasisFunction (RBF) kernel function is optimized using multi class non-linear SVMmethod and implemented to training and test datasets of traditional Indonesian batik images. The batik images dataset is limited to four geometric motifs textures,which are ceplok/ceplokan, kawung, nitikand parang/lerang. Discrete WaveletTransform level 3 daubechies 2 is used to result feature dataset of traditionalbatik images dataset of four classesgeometric motifs textures. The batikimages are used for training and test dataset in SVM-RBF kernel parameteroptimation to maximize accuracy value in non-linear multi-class classification.Cross Validation and Grid-search methods are used to analyze and evaluateSVM-RBF kernel parameter optimation. Confusion matrix measurement method isused to result accuracy value in every evaluationconducted in every combination of cost function/C and gamma/γ as SVM-RBF kernel parameter. Maximumaccuracy parameter value is C = 27 and γ = 2-15 achieved by 10 times evaluation wit different testdataset for each evaluation. Maximum accuracy value is 0.77 to 0.86.

A GENRE ANALYSIS OF PROMOTIONAL TEXTS IN AN INDONESIAN BATIK INDUSTRY

This study explored sales promotion letters (SPLs) and company profiles (CPs) of two prominent batik companies in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. This essay draws its data from the most important primary source of information on sales promotion letters and company profiles namely words, phrases, and clauses taken from the SPLs and CPs of batik written in Indonesian. Secondary sources were also consulted in this research, among these transcribed data obtained from in-depth interviews with the text writers and buyers. Three SPLs and two batik CPs were analyzed. In addition, two informants (marketing and promotion managers) typifying the text production perspective and two buyers typifying the text consumption perspective were interviewed. This research was guided by theories of genre analysis which focuses on patterns of rhetorical organization and genre-specific language features. This study employed the multi-dimensional and multi perspective model of analysis focusing on textual, socio-cognitive and ethnographic aspects of the texts. This study concludes that the strong Javanese cultural influence has made the underlying intention of gaining profits to be less explicitly stated. Secondly, the textual analysis and the in-depth interviews supported the view that CPs of batik had been ideally used to create a favorable image of the company. Thirdly, the most distinctive feature that differentiated establishing credentials in the Indonesian batik business context had been the utilization of a sense of moral obligation to preserve native culture. Fourthly, the chemistry between writers and readers of SPLs and CPs built a strong foundation for mutual understanding and thus paved the way for making purchases. To conclude, this study has shown how the wider culture and the culture of the discourse community has contributed to the framing and formatting of SPLs and CPs of batik in terms of lexico-grammar, cognitive structuring, intertextuality and interdiscursivity.
