Intertextuality in the Transformation of the Pucuk Rebung Motif in Siak Sri Indrapura Weaving in 2015

Sumatra is an archipelago in Indonesia that has a diversity of cultural heritage that is maintained. One of them is woven cloth or wastra. According to Sanskrit, wastra is defined as a piece of cloth produced using traditional tools, materials, and fabric structures based on the customs of a region. Sumatran wastra has several unique characteristics, among others, having a motif with the same name in every region of Sumatra, namely "Pucuk Rebung". Various types of Sumatran wastra with the pucuk rebung motif are consistent in terms of the basic form, namely an isosceles triangle, then known as a Malay motif. This research focuses on the Siak Sri Indrapura region as an area known. The variety of pucuk rebung motifs in Siak Sri Indrapura woven textiles refer to various dimensions of meaning, namely spiritual, translingual, and cultural. Therefore, this study uses intertextual analysis in the context of textiles, motifs, colors, and designs to analyze the sign system that communicates cultural identity, spirituality, and social hierarchy. This analysis explores how textiles convey meaning through various visual and symbolic elements. Intertextuality occurs through the adaptation of traditional motifs into a modern context, or the interaction between local motifs and other cultural influences, such as Minangkabau songket and Siak weaving.
