Abstract:

Joged bumbung dance performances in Bali often lead to pornographic acts. This is regarded as an infringement of intangible cultural heritage. This article is outlined as a sociolegal study that aims to present an analysis of the joged bumbung phenomenon with reference to the legal concept of intangible cultural heritage, discusses the fulfillment of obligations and the role of the government, and discusses legal efforts to protect it through the imposition of legal sanctions. It suggested that the legal protection of intangible cultural heritage is contained in laws and regulations at the national level, including international legal instruments that have been ratified, and at the local level. The protection can be in the form of registration as well as other forms of protection carried out in accordance with norms, standards, procedures, and criteria in the field of culture which pay attention to aspects of religious values, traditions, values, norms, ethics, and customary law. Legal efforts to protect intangible cultural heritage in the form of the joged bumbung dance can be carried out by imposing customary, administrative, and/or criminal sanctions. However, there is a tendency for preventive efforts and supervision approaches in responding to the practice of joged bumbung.
