Abstract
The City of Malang has made effort to improve its tourism image by generating 11 thematic tourism concepts based on societal empowerment. One of them is Kampung Budaya Polowijen (KBP). KBP offers a wealth of traditions and unique history such as masks, batik, and the myth of Ken Dedes. This research attempts to visualize the effort of narrative reconstruction, also historical and cultural framing in KBP development. Discovery and reinforcement of cultural traditions as the basis of tourism in KBP was conducted by utilizing the mythological framing of Ken Dedes and the claim to Topeng Malangan of the City of Malang based on the discovery of Mbah Reni’s grave, an art figure who is believed to be important. This reconstructive effort was conducted by uncovering historical narrative of “Panawijen” and cultural commodification by bringing out the cultural icon, Ragil Kuning as part of the distinct story of Kampung Budaya Polowijen.
