Ensuring the Longevity of Caci Tradition: Addressing Distortions and Promoting Authenticity
Abstract
Caci is a traditional whip-fighting game played in some parts of Indonesia, particularly within the Manggarai community on Flores Island. As a significant cultural heritage, it is crucial to preserve and promote the authenticity of this tradition. However, Caci faces several challenges, including potential distortions that arise due to various factors. This paper aims to explore how stakeholders can collaborate to ensure the longevity of the Caci tradition while addressing these potential distortions. We have identified various factors that could lead to the distortion of the Caci tradition, such as commercialization, modernization, and lack of awareness. To tackle these issues, we propose a comprehensive strategy involving all stakeholders in a dialogue. This strategy includes the development of educational programs, the establishment of a certification system, and the utilization of digital media to promote the authenticity of the Caci tradition. The proposed strategy aims to ensure the preservation and promotion of the Caci tradition as a sacred and authentic cultural heritage for future generations.
