Physical Culture is the result of human creation embodied in physical form. Cultures were categorized in physical culture among other artifacts, traditional houses, and technology. Intangible culture is a culture in the form of human actions and ideas. Such as language, dance, folklore,
Now many Indonesian heritage at risk. Threats can come from natural disasters, development, and stealing or claiming as recently done Malaysia for nine gondang culture and tor-tor which is being discussed at this time. In this paper we will discuss the threat of the claimant culture by outsiders.
Urgency Cultural Advocacy and Claims Culture
Advocacy is a simple culture movements and actions that try to defend, protect, and sustain a culture that is undergoing extinction and threats.
Cultural advocacy movement should cover the physical and non-physical culture. Today, the dominant cultural advocacy movement and is too focused on physical objects that are almost extinct, as is often done by a heritage organization.
With the current developments, cultural advocates have should be directed to the non-physical culture. It is associated with this claim Indonesian culture by Malaysia.
Claiming that occur related to the political and economic and cultural. Politically, claiming it could be said to be a hard slap against Indonesia. Indonesia continues cheated. Governments and citizens are always full of anger when events such as this.
In fact, it has already happened with the mode and pattern of more or less the same. For example, claiming the art reog, rendang, and songs by the Malaysian Malay. So the question is, what government before claiming cultural heritage that happen?
Malaysia is currently being intensively incessant bring foreign tourists from outside. So naturally if they try to enrich them with a diversity of ethnic cultures that live there. One of them ethnic Mandailing that since the 19th century is alive and thriving there. They've got a good bargaining position in Malaysia. So, they began to show their identity and existence kemaindailingan and was accommodated by the government of Malaysia. If the Indonesian government ngurusi what?
Reflection
Under these conditions, the Indonesian people should not start now silent and still. But that does not mean we are misguided and dark eyes directly accused who claimed that'' brazen''.
In cultural theory no such thing as cultural diffusion. Diffusion of culture in the form of the spread of cultural elements. This element continues to be absorbed by the people who receive then formed a new version of the culture. So is the tor-tor and gondang nine claimed to be part of their culture.
Cultural heritage is one that is recognized and protected by the UN Convention relating to the issues of economic, social and cultural rights in accordance with Article 15, paragraph 2; States Parties to the present Convention shall preserve, develop, and disseminate knowledge and culture. The Government of Indonesia has made the process of ratification of the content of socio-economic rights and culture. So by itself the government has an obligation to implement it.
Politically, the government is obliged to'' protect'' the entire country of Indonesia which not only regulate, but also consistently implemented.
Now the question is, how much of the survey and inventory of the cultural heritage of Indonesia which was then submitted to UNESCO. Many of Indonesia's cultural heritage is now forgotten. State only pay attention to the cultural heritage of great value, but close your eyes in protecting cultural heritage at the local community level. That is why in the end a lot of our cultural heritage endangered missing.
If this continues, only a matter of time indigenous Indonesian culture is claimed to be owned. Some cases of dispute with Malaysia on the issue of songs, dances, and so suggests the government is not seriously deal with the problem of cultural heritage in this country.
Indonesia as a country and a great nation should swiftly respond to the times and the pressure from the outside. Currently legality and law upheld and culture no longer be a mere cultural identity, but also to be a resource that could improve the economy of a nation. Therefore, the government should revitalize local culture and cultural rescue. Starting from the inventory of the physical and nonphysical culture.
Indigenous Indonesian culture should be listed as made in Indonesia is not made in foreign. Where, the economic aspects of the use of purposes outside of Indonesia could be used to increase the income of local cultural origin. And do not forget to register to IPR international version so that the legitimacy of international law in the protection of the culture.
Unilateral claims by Malaysia against Indonesia some cultures like gondang nine and tor tor is a repeated warning against Indonesia. We are obliged to maintain and preserve our own culture. But if the government is too busy, we as citizens of this country that feels it has not always wait for the government too much'''' kerjaanya it.
We have to really love the people and the country. How do we want to protect our culture, if only regional dances and songs have been lazy we see and hear. Traditional food forgotten. Ashamed to speak the local language, and were hanging out and cool if it is stylish exterior style.
Where are you taking our cultural heritage. If not we as citizens and government as state officials, who else is protecting and caring culture. It is time we articulated hand with saving the cultural heritage that we have for our children and grandchildren.
