Abstract

This study focuses on the existence of female characters as viewed through the lenses of “The Other,” Immanence, and Transcendence in the play Bunga Rumah Makan by Utuy Tatang Sontani, using Simone de Beauvoir’s framework of existential feminism. The method employed is analytical description. The data source is the play Bunga Rumah Makan by Utuy Tatang Sontani. The research data consists of dialogue excerpts that illustrate the existence of female characters in the play. Data collection was conducted through reading and note-taking. Data analysis was performed by: (1) Reading the data thoroughly to gain an initial understanding of the text; (2) Classifying the data into three analytical categories: manifestations of “The Other,” conditions of Immanence, and drives toward Transcendence. (3) Describing the classified data in detail and systematically; (4) Analyzing the data by referring to Simone de Beauvoir’s existential feminist theoretical framework; (5) Interpreting the analysis results to uncover the meanings embedded within the text; and (6) Drawing preliminary conclusions that are subsequently verified until a final, accountable conclusion is reached. The research findings indicate that the character Ani is constructed as The Other through patriarchal power relations; she experiences a condition of Immanence but gradually demonstrates a drive toward Transcendence. This study concludes that Sontani’s drama implicitly reflects the tension between women’s existential freedom and the pressures of the patriarchal social structure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of the lives of marginalized groups depicted in the drama script Mega-Mega by Arifin C. Noer, by applying the theoretical framework of the sociology of literature developed by Alan Swingewood. Specifically, this study attempts to describe the portrait of the lives of marginalized groups while examining the socio-economic conditions reflected in the literary work. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach supported by content analysis techniques, with data sources in the form of fragments of words, sentences, and dialogues in the script that are relevant to the theme of marginality. The research findings reveal that the Mega-Mega script represents the bitter reality of marginalized groups who are shackled by structural poverty, minimal access to welfare, and the erosion of their self-esteem in an unequal social structure. Within the framework of Swingewood’s sociology of literature, this work is positioned as an authentic record of social reality that also functions as a vehicle for criticism of systems that do not side with small communities. This research is expected to enrich the treasury of sociological studies of literature, especially in the realm of analyzing works that carry the themes of poverty and social marginalization.

Abstract

This study discusses the hegemony of power in the drama script Mangir by Pramoedya Ananta Toer using Antonio Gramsci’s perspective. The focus of the research is directed at two main aspects, namely the hegemony of power viewed from the ideological aspect and the hegemony of power viewed from the social class of society. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a sociology of literature approach. The research data are in the form of dialogues in the drama Mangir which show the practice of power domination, social agreement, class conflict, and Mataram’s political strategy towards Mangir. The results of the study show that the ideological hegemony in the drama Mangir is built through the legitimacy of the Mataram kingdom’s power, manipulation of love, symbols of nobility, and the instilling of political awareness in the Mangir community. In addition, the hegemony of social class is seen through the conflict between the Mataram noble group and the Mangir perdikan community who uphold social equality. This drama shows how power does not only work through violence, but also through cultural and ideological agreement as Antonio Gramsci’s concept of hegemony.

The novel Namiya Zakkaten No Kiseki (The Miracles of the Namiya General Store) is a work by Keigo Higashino; it was published in 2017 by Kadokawa Shoten in Japan.This study aims to describe the social and cultural issues in the novel Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori and Namiya Zakkaten No Kiseki by Keigo Higashino through Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature approach. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative literature approach. The data consisted of quotations, sentences, and dialogues that reflect social and cultural life in both novels. The results show that Laut Bercerita portrays political injustice, authoritarian repression, social trauma, and the culture of solidarity in Indonesian society during the New Order era. Meanwhile, Namiya Zakkaten No Kiseki portrays loneliness, social alienation, and the values of empathy in modern Japanese society. The similarity between the two novels lies in their depiction of humanity and social relationships in society. The differences are found in the social and cultural backgrounds that influence the conflicts in the stories. Through Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature approach, both novels can be understood as reflections of the social and cultural life of their respective societies and eras.

Abstract

This research focuses on social criticism from the perspective of poverty, social injustice, exploitation of women, and social alienation in the drama script Orang-Orang di Tikungan Jalan by WS. Rendra through the perspective of Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature. This drama script is considered to contain the reality of community life depicted through characters such as Sri, Djoko, Botak, Surati, and Surya who represent the lower social group. These communities face economic pressure, social injustice, and marginalization. This study uses a descriptive analysis method. The data collection technique is carried out through the read-note technique, namely reading the manuscript carefully and repeatedly, then recording the relevant parts to the focus of the research. Data analysis techniques refer to the content analysis model in the sociology of literature approach. The stages of analysis are: (1) reading the entire script to understand the plot, characters, and conflicts; (2) identifying parts of the text that contain elements of social criticism; (3) classifying data based on three Swingewood perspectives; (4) describing and interpreting the social meaning of the data; and (5) concluding the research findings. The results show that there are problems of poverty, social injustice, exploitation of women, and social alienation that are part of social criticism. This drama script not only functions as an aesthetic work, but also as a medium of social awareness of the condition of Indonesian society at that time.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the meaning of icons, indices, and symbols in Umay Shahab’s film “Perayaan Mati Rasa” through Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotics. The study was conducted by analyzing the film, which premiered in theaters on January 29, 2025, and on Netflix on June 12, 2025. The primary data source for this study was the film itself, while secondary data were obtained from semiotic theory books, scientific journals, and other relevant literature. The research instruments used included observation through repeated viewings of the film, documentation through screenshots of scenes, and literature review. Data analysis was conducted using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic approach with a qualitative descriptive method. The results show that: first, eight icon data were found in the form of visual representations of the main characters: Ian Antono, Uta Antono, Satya Antono, Dini Antono, Ray Alvero, Saka Wijaya, Dika Ardana, and Dinda Juwita, which depict character, relationships between characters, and emotional conflicts based on direct similarities between the signs and the objects they represent; Second, eleven index data were found which were displayed through facial expressions, body gestures, lighting, and character actions as signs that have a causal relationship with psychological conditions such as loneliness, mental stress, family conflict, and loss; Third, five symbol data were found in the form of a handycam and family photos, a father’s heirloom, a flower arrangement, a Yasin book, and a ship and the sea, whose meanings were formed through social and cultural conventions to represent longing, loss, affection, sacrifice, and hope in Antono’s family.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the actantial schema in Albert Camus’s novel “Sampar” based on A.J. Greimas’s narratological study, focusing on the relations between actants and narrative roles that construct the story’s structure. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data consisting of quotes, sentences, and paragraphs from the novel Sampar, translated by N.H. Dini. Data collection techniques included reading, note-taking, and data classification, while data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The research results show that the actantial schema in the novel “Sampar” is collective and dynamic. The function of the subject is not centered on a single character, but is instead carried out alternately by Dr. Bernard Rieux, Jean Tarrou, Rambert, the group of volunteers, and the people of the city of Oran in accordance with the development of Sampar conflict. The object actant gradually evolves from the effort to understand the disease to the struggle to maintain human solidarity. The sender act is evident in situational pressures such as the appearance of dead rats and the increasing number of victims of the epidemic, while the receiver act is dominated by the community experiencing the epidemic’s social and psychological impacts. The helper actant is manifested through knowledge, social solidarity, and collective work, while the opposing actant is not only the epidemic but also social denial and bureaucratic response delays. The most significant finding of this research is that the boundaries between actants are fluid and dynamic, allowing a character to perform more than one actant function within the narrative. This research demonstrates that A.J. Greimas’s narratology is relevant to analyzing novels with collective conflicts and complex narrative structures.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the denotative, connotative, and mythic meanings in the poems Kaum Beragama Negeri Ini and Selama Ini di Negerimu by Ahmad Mustofa Bisri, utilizing Roland Barthes' semiotic framework. The research data consist of words, phrases, and sentences from both poems that embody denotative, connotative, and mythic meanings. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collection involving the reading, comprehension, and recording of poem segments containing semiotic signs. Data analysis was conducted by identifying signs, classifying the data, and subsequently analyzing meanings based on Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The results indicate that both poems by Gus Mus contain denotative, connotative, and mythic meanings related to social criticism and humanity. The denotative meaning reflects the literal sense of the words used, while the connotative meaning reveals criticisms regarding religious fanaticism, poverty, social injustice, and the erosion of human values within society. Furthermore, the mythic meaning in both poems highlights social perspectives accepted as natural by the public—such as the notion that religious symbols outweigh human values, or the view of poverty as a commonplace aspect of social life. Through the use of simple symbols, Gus Mus successfully conveys profound moral messages and social critiques regarding the reality of life in Indonesian society.
