Abstract

Ketoprak tobong has a long dynamic history from its first appearance to its heyday until it mutated into a modern form. A novel entitled Panggung is a literary work that attempts to portray the history of ketoprak along with the lives of the actors. This study aims to reveal the dynamics of ketoprak tobong, which was once successful and then declined but ultimately still exists. Ketoprak continues to exist because it is willing to transform. The story presented in the novel entitled Panggung is a description of the life experiences of the author, namely Ari Purnomo, who was born and lives in the ketoprak environment. This was a descriptive qualitative study with a socio-anthropological approach to literature. The study results involved: (1) the dynamics of ketoprak from Tobong to a modern form as depicted in the novel; (2) an overview of the causes of the decline of the ketoprak tobong until it was transformed into a modern form based on the story written in the novel entitled Panggung by Ari Purnomo; (3) ketoprak transformation in novel Panggung.

Review

The submitted work, "Dinamika Ketoprak Tobong dalam Novel Panggung Karya Ari Purnomo: Kajian Sosioantropologi Sastra," presents an intriguing exploration into the socio-cultural evolution of *ketoprak tobong*, a traditional performing art. The study’s primary objective is to trace the historical trajectory of *ketoprak tobong* from its emergence to its contemporary, transformed state, utilizing Ari Purnomo's novel *Panggung* as its central analytical lens. This approach is particularly compelling given that the novel is depicted as a portrayal of the author's own lived experiences within the *ketoprak* environment, suggesting a unique and potentially rich primary source for socio-anthropological inquiry. The research employs a descriptive qualitative methodology, aligning well with its focus on cultural dynamics and literary interpretation. A significant strength of this study lies in its innovative use of a literary work to illuminate broader socio-anthropological phenomena. By examining *ketoprak tobong* through the narrative of *Panggung*, the research promises to offer nuanced insights into the resilience and adaptive strategies of traditional performing arts in the face of modernization and decline. The explicit focus on "transformation" as a key factor in the art form's survival is a vital contribution, addressing a critical theme in cultural preservation studies. The three outlined study results – covering historical dynamics, causes of decline and transformation, and the specific depiction of transformation in the novel – indicate a comprehensive analysis that spans historical, causal, and representational dimensions, all filtered through the unique perspective of an 'insider' author. While the abstract clearly outlines the study's scope and findings, the full paper would benefit from a more explicit discussion of its theoretical grounding within socio-anthropology. The abstract mentions a "socio-anthropological approach to literature" but does not elaborate on the specific theories or frameworks employed to analyze the novel's content beyond a descriptive level. Further, it would be valuable to understand how the qualitative analysis of the novel is rigorously conducted to extract socio-anthropological insights, particularly regarding the potential interplay between literary representation and historical/cultural reality. Expanding on the broader implications of *ketoprak's* transformation – what this specific case study contributes to our understanding of cultural resilience, adaptation, or the interplay between art and society on a global scale – would significantly enhance the study's scholarly impact and relevance.
