Abstract

This study explores the concept of moral responsibility through the character of Daijin in the animated film Suzume no Tojimari. This study was conducted because there are still few studies that highlight how animated films depict moral responsibility, especially through non-human characters. By analyzing Daijin’s actions, decisions, and their consequences, the research examines how moral agency is portrayed in a fantastical setting. Using textual analysis through qualitative method, the study identifies key themes such as duty, sacrifice, and the conflict between personal desires and collective well-being. The findings reveal that Daijin’s transformation from a reluctant guardian to a figure of responsibility that does personal sacrifice reflects moral responsibility, including reasons-responsiveness, forward-looking responsibility, and reactive attitudes. This study is expected to contribute to moral and film studies by showing that animated films can also be a means of learning ethical values. In conclusion, Suzume no Tojimari offers a thought-provoking exploration of moral responsibility. Daijin's storyline serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities inherent in navigating ethical dilemmas, especially when faced with choices that impact both personal and collective fates.

Abstract

This study examines how plot twists operate effectively within the constraints of flash fiction. Flash fiction, commonly defined as narratives under 1,000 words, has developed into a distinctive literary form characterized by extreme brevity and narrative economy. Despite its compressed structure, flash fiction can produce strong emotional and intellectual effects, often through the use of plot twists. These twists function as a crucial narrative strategy that subverts reader expectations and intensifies the impact of the story’s ending. In a genre where extensive characterization and detailed exposition are limited, plot twists become a central mechanism for creating narrative depth and maintaining reader engagement. The research aims to analyze narrative techniques that allow authors to construct impactful twists despite strict word limits. Using a qualitative textual analysis approach, the study analyzes selected flash fiction works that feature notable plot reversals. The analysis focuses on key narrative elements, including the structural placement of twists, foreshadowing, misdirection, and the strategic use of minimal detail. The findings indicate that successful plot twists in flash fiction depend on narrative compression, the manipulation of reader expectations, and the creation of cognitive surprise that encourages readers to reinterpret earlier elements of the story. In conclusion, it is proven that these strategies demonstrate how brevity can enhance, rather than limit, narrative complexity in micro-narratives.

Abstract

Troloyo Cemetery, located in Trowulan, Mojokerto, East Java, is a historical burial site that exemplifies the hybridity between Islam, Hindu-Buddhist traditions, and modernity. This study explores the cemetery as a cultural third space, a concept introduced by Homi K. Bhabha (1994), where different belief systems and historical legacies intersect, negotiate, and form new identities. The research applies a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews and direct observation, focusing on the perceptions of local caretakers and community members. Findings reveal that Islamic elements are present in tombstone inscriptions, Arabic calligraphy, and pilgrimage practices associated with Syekh Jumadil Kubro, a key figure in Javanese Islamization. Simultaneously, Hindu-Buddhist influences persist through architectural structures like kijing and symbols such as Surya Majapahit, while modern features—such as tourism and infrastructure development—further shape the site's identity. Ritual practices like incense burning, flower offerings, and local cosmological concepts highlight syncretic expressions of spirituality rooted in Javanese culture. These complex layers of religiosity and symbolism challenge rigid categorizations of identity, instead revealing a dynamic cultural landscape formed through historical negotiation and continuity. The study concludes that Troloyo Cemetery functions not merely as a sacred Islamic site but as a hybrid space where cultural and religious forms co-exist and evolve, offering a deeper understanding of Indonesia's plural spiritual heritage.
