Abstract

This research examines a new form of epistolary performed by an Indonesian-German diasporic woman named Trisna Keller through her YouTube channel entitled “Keluarga Bahagia di Jerman”. This research also aims to explore how gardening activities in the home garden, as part of domestic routine, can serve as a narrative strategy shaping identity and mediating cultural negotiations in the lives of Indonesian diaspora women. This research employs a narrative analysis method using an epistolary literary framework and postcolonial concepts to analyze phenomena displayed on social media. Trisna Keller's vlog in Keluarga Bahagia di Jerman is read as a form of epistolary in digital space that articulates personal experiences of memory, emotion, and cultural heritage through digital space. The exploration of nostalgia for tropical plant products combined with their adaptation to subtropical environments becomes a bridge between Indonesia and Germany. This research argues that Trisna Keller's performance in cultivating vegetables and fruits in Germany through the seeds she brought from Indonesia functions as a symbolic act of remembrance as well as a form of shifting Western colonial discourse. This becomes a form of politics that is implicit in shifting the historical form of colonialism towards the mechanism of botanical negotiation. While botanical negotiations once required serious scientific exploration, can now be simplified into domestic values and hobby-based practices expressed through social media.

Abstract

This study examines the lyrics of “Colors of the Wind” from Disney’s animated film Pocahontas (1995) as a discursive site of resistance to colonial paradigms. Performed by Judy Kuhn, the song serves as a pivotal focalization of Pocahontas’s Indigenous wisdom in opposition to Western expansionism. The research investigates how the lyrics construct colonial settlers as “alien” subjects who are ecologically estranged while simultaneously articulating an alternative human–nature relationship grounded in an ecofeminist ethics of care. Employing ecofeminist literary criticism, the study analyzes the lyrics through a close reading informed by the conceptual frameworks of the logic of domination, master identity, and the mechanistic death-of-nature paradigm. The findings reveal that colonial figures are represented as “aliens” through processes of othering and a mechanistic worldview that reduces the Earth to a “dead thing” or a mere object of exploitation. Their inability to comprehend the language of nature reveals a profound ontological disconnection from local ecological networks, effectively rendering them outsiders within the very environment they seek to conquer. In contrast, Pocahontas’s voice rearticulates nature as a living entity, foregrounding a circular model of interconnectedness as a counter-discourse to linear and anthropocentric colonial hierarchies. The study concludes that the settlers’ status as “aliens” is an ideological consequence of the colonizers’ master identity, which rejects ecological relationality. Ultimately, the study underscores the vital contribution of ecofeminist readings of popular culture to critiques of the colonial and patriarchal logics that continue to underlie contemporary ecological crises.
