Abstract

Economic digitization is a step the Indonesian government has taken and has proven to be able to provide an increase in people's and state's income. Several products marketed through the internet received a positive response, so that the demand for products increased, including the demand for making kris. The creation of the kris by the masters all goes through a long process, starting from ritual in finding a good day to start creating the kris, fasting and making offerings. So it takes a long time. While kris craftsmen, they do not perform rituals like the masters do, so they can produce a larger number of kris at a lower price than the kris created by the masters. The purpose of this study is to find out how the conflict between craftsmen and keris masters is and want to know how the process of creating kris by masters after digitization. This type of research is qualitative with an ethnographic approach. Data collection through interviews, observation participation and literature studies. The result of this study is that with the digitization of the economy, there has been a shift and some trimming of ritualism in the creation of kris, where the master decided to give up the process of ritualism in making kris and switch to making kris LARGE NUMBERS in increasing their income, masters only carry out the process of ritualism in making kris that have a magical aura if there is an order only. The conclusion of this study is that the application of economic digitalization has triggered a shift in culture/tradition in the process of creating kris by masters, where not all of the kris creations go through a process of ritualism.
