“From Tangible Space to Intangible Space“ Kanoman Palace and Kacirebonan Palace

Abstract

Physical space or called tangible spaces are spaces that can be physically captured by the senses while nonphysical or intangible space is a space that is not caught by the senses. Anthropological research argues that the first 'double built' space is a physical building and the second is a result of interpretation of taste and imagination (Gieryn, in Short, 2015). Kanoman palace and Kacirebonan palace is a palace located in the city of Cirebon. The two palaces not only physically still have the form of a palace building but also still have mystics believed by the community as an integral part of human life. The purpose of this paper is to show tangible space and intangible space in both palaces as part of the meaning of the palace. The method used is the research method of Husserl phenomenology and conducting the review literature from the results of the themes that appear especially space in both palaces. The result shows that these two palaces have different spatial arrangements and different building arrangements but the direction of the northward winds into the sacred position of the palace. The position is related to the position of the tomb of Sunan Gunung Jati as an ancestor and founder of the palace in Cirebon. The position is manifested as intangible space palaces in Cirebon.K eywords: tangible space, intangible space, kanoman palace, kacirebonan palace.

The spatial division is laid out according to the arrangement of Mount Mahameru, from the outer side gradually towards the inner side as follows: Tanah Sebrang, Pesisir, Mancanegara, Negara Agung and finally the Peak of Mahameru [1,5,7,8]. Picture (b) explains the concept of the spatial arrangement of a Keraton: based on the above spatial concept, Keraton Kacirebonan does not fulfill all the category.…”

Analisis Keterikatan Emosi dan Hubungan Liniasi para Pemangku Kepentingan dalam Pelestarian Cagar Budaya Keraton di Kota Cirebon

“…Dari orang dewasa hingga anak-anak, mereka tahu tentang gadget, internet, dan jejaring sosial. Salah satu fenomena globalisasi adalah perubahan konsep ruang dan waktu yang memungkinkan manusia dapat dengan mudah berinteraksi kapan saja, di mana saja dengan manusia lainnya [5]. Laju globalisasi yang semakin pesat berdampak pada minimnya interaksi, minimnya rasa toleransi dan kedekatan hubungan sosial dalam masyarakat, sehingga membentuk individualisme yang mudah memisahkan hubungan.…”

“…Dengan demikian peran keraton sangat penting sebagai wahana warisan budaya bangsa dan pilar kedaulatan bangsa. Artinya keraton berperan dalam pertahanan kebudayaan bangsa Indonesia dari serangan budaya-budaya asing terutama globalisasi [5].…”
