Abstract

The world of textiles is subjectively associated with women's work. In Sumba, producing Ikat textiles is one of the skills that women must have. Even though it has been labeled as women's domain, it does not mean that men do not contribute to the production process. Men also play roles in to certain processes. Comparing past and present, the gender labor division might potentially change. The purpose of this study is to discover the changes in the gender labor division and what the underlying reasons for changes. This study uses a qualitative method involving figures considered influential in terms of the production of Ikat weaving in Sumba, such as weavers, dyers, enterpreneurs, and also artisans from Ikat weaving as the informants of interviews conducted. Researcher conducted a preliminary study in 2018 in Waingapu, East Sumba, where Ikat is a trade center for woven textiles. Through the use of gender role theory, the researcher have found that there have been changes between the past and present division of gender work. The changes include the processes which only women can perform traditionally now can be performed by men. Both men and women share roles. These changes must be based on several reasons, and globalization is the main basic reason of all. One one hand, rapid globalization has changed the textile production to commercial production. Sumbanese woven Ikat textile production, which was traditionally only a side work for women, now becomes a promosing industry to gain profits and help the economy. However, women still consider this work as side work, while men see this as an opportunity generating primary source of income. On the other hand, equal opportunities in education have also aided the locals to see the equality of gender in terms of labor division in textile production.
