Mitos dan Legitimasi: Legitimasi Jaka Sangsang dalam Mitos Kedhung Maya Pada Serat Babad Kuwung
Abstract
Although myths have long been recognized as the foundation of legitimacy in Javanese society, studies on the specific role of babad literature, particularly Serat Babad Kuwung, in spreading and strengthening the legitimacy of historical figures such as Jaka Sangsang are still limited. This article aims to examine the relationship between myths and the legitimacy of Jaka Sangsang as contained in the text of Serat Babad Kuwung. This study adopts a qualitative-interpretive approach to analyze the narrative of the Jaka Sangsang myth in the Serat Babad Kuwung manuscript. The primary data, namely the myth of Jaka Sangsang's moksha, is interpreted through the lens of Roland Barthes' semiotics to uncover its denotative and connotative meanings, and then analyzed using Max Weber's theory of legitimacy to understand how the myth functions as a tool for legitimizing Jaka Sangsang within Kuwung society. The results of this study indicate that the myth of Jaka Sangsang's moksha in Kedhung Maya, as recorded in the Serat Babad Kuwung, semiotically represents Jaka Sangsang's transformation into a powerful entity with trans-dimensional authority, which in turn strengthens his traditional and charismatic legitimacy in Kuwung society to this day.
