“…Through poetry, readers can explore the history, culture, and various positive values found in past societies. In addition to imitation, poetry can also help us to better understand the political dynamics in the social system of society (Budiharso, 2016;Suprapto et al, 2023;Waston, 2018). Therefore, poetry can be considered as a medium that can be an important source of information about the structural system of society.…”

Poetry is a part of literary works that represent the sociocultural life experience of the author which is important to be studied from the perspective of literary anthropology. However, so far research on the literary anthropology of poetry is still very sparse. For this reason, the purpose of this study exists as an effort to explore poetry in the perspective of literary anthropology. The source of the research data is poems by Tjahjono Widijanto published in Borobudur Festival Writers. The research method uses hermeneutics. The results showed that Tjahjono Widijanto's poems are a mirror that reflects values, history, and internal conflicts in Javanese culture in the past. They not only revive cultural heritage, but also strengthen the rich cultural identity in contemporary society. Through the theme of identity and internal conflict, poems by Tjahjono Widijanto illustrate the complexity of the relationship between individuals and their society. For this, language and knowledge are used as tools of power to maintain the dominance of elite groups. This demonstrates the importance of understanding and caring for cultural heritage to build a strong identity sustainably. The implication of this analysis is the need for efforts to understand and respond to cultural dynamics, values, and internal conflicts in society through appreciation of literary works, such as poetry. This is expected to build awareness about the importance of respecting cultural diversity, tolerance, strengthening social relations in a multicultural society.

“…Some people also leave the ceremonies because they think that the ceremonies are against religions. However, Budiharso (1997) and Mindari (1999) have carefully proved this belief inaccurate. To them, if studied objectively, those symbolic ceremonies are not against religions, since there is no aspect of worship to a certain spirit, but only to express the purpose and expectations of the doer.…”

“…The values represent the richness and the beauty of Javanese culture. A study by Budiharso (1997; Discourse Analysis in Javanese Mantra: Aji Seduluran is important to note.

Malioboro is an integral part of the architectural artwork of the city of Yogyakarta, which is full of meaning, philosophy, and noble values of Javanese culture. Currently, Malioboro has developed into a tourist area and a quite existing public cultural space. However, along with the times, the philosophical meaning and noble values embedded in the architecture of the city of Yogyakarta by HB I as the founder of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat seem to be unclear and increasingly difficult to read. The video art installation Lampah is a form of creative response to the existence of contemporary Malioboro as a public space as well as a meaningful piece of architectural art. By using interpretative-subjective approaches and artistic methods, the creator reads this phenomenon and represents it in the form of Lampah artwork. As a contemplative space, 'Lampah' also offers an alternative way to transform Javanese noble values and spirituality by using idioms and ways of speaking in Javanese culture. Models in architecture are used to complete the design of this work. It is hoped that this concept can provide new insights and discourses in art, especially new media art
