Abstract
This study offers a new perspective in viewing tourism as literature. There was a correlation involving the form of oral literature as a tourism attraction. Oral literature-based tourism development was presented in the mythological story of Panji that is found in Kampung Budaya Polowijen (Polowijen Cultural Village). The mythology was visualized in the art of Topeng Malangan. The story framing redeveloped the characterization of Ragil Kuning in Topeng Malangan. Ragil Kuning is the younger sister of Panji Asmorobangun from Panjalu Daha Kingdom. The iconic framing of Ragil Kuning started to be developed and shaped in performing arts and festivals. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, it significantly affected tourism. Policies on social mobility influenced tourism livelihoods and the economy of society. In this context, tourism became a sector that was susceptible because of the pandemic. On the other hand, the tourism sector could also become strong or resilient. This resilience was shown by the strategic efforts of Kampung Budaya Polowijen to develop digital-based cultural tourism and to strengthen the Ragil Kuning narration as its tourism attraction. This study employed digital patchwork ethnography. These methods were chosen as an effort in conducting a research in this pandemic era.
