The Cultural Negotiation Model Through Ondel-Ondel Material Transformation

This diagram presents a conceptual and analytical model that explains the cultural negotiation process underlying material transformation in Ondel-ondel, a traditional Betawi performance art from Jakarta, Indonesia. The model conceptualizes material change not merely as a technical or economic shift, but as a multidimensional cultural process in which material function as mediators between symbolic meaning, performative expression, economic production, and institutional regulation. 

The model consists of four interrelated dimensions: 

1. Symbolic Cosmological Dimension, which addresses ritual practices, sacred values, anscestral relations, and ecological ethics embedded in traditional material choices.
2. Performative Visual Dimension, which concern spectacle, visual attraction, festivalization, public performance, and city branding. 
3. Economic Production Dimension, which relates to efficiency, reproducibility, market orientation, and integration into creative industries.
4. Institutional Regulatory Dimension, which includes cultural policy, health and safety regulations, and local government frameworks. 

The diagram represented of the model and its conceptual structure, intended for use in cultural studies, performance studies, design research, heritage studies, and creative industry research. It mya serve as a theoretical reference of scholars examining the intersection of materiality, tradition, modernization, and cultural policy in performing arts and vernacular cultural practices.
