Abstract

Abstract. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how exoticism in fantasy literature is shaped by cultural backgrounds and the use of magical elements. . A comparative qualitative approach is used due to the use of narrative analysis in this study and is necessary to determine the similarities of the study objects. This study analyzes elements such as objects, characters, dialogues or narratives, and rituals or customs collected from both novels as primary data sources. The finding shows the distinct cultural background to build the exoticism. Harry Potter draws extensively from Western and Europe traditions, folklore, myths, and Greek mythology, applying these to create its magical world. In contrast, Archipelagos adopts Asian culture, particularly Indonesian traditions, to enhance the exoticism of its story. The magical elements in this novel are deeply connected to human relationships with nature and animistic beliefs that are central to Indonesian culture. Voldemort and Berong are cultural villain conceptions that have a strong basis in their respective mythologies. The different cultural influences in each novel appear in these differences.   The research demonstrates that the cultural context is important in the development of exoticism in fantasy literature Keywords: exoticism, comparative analysis, fantasy, harry potter, magical element, novel

Abstract

Speculative fiction plays a crucial role as a medium for exploring the dynamics of power and control in society. This study examines the intersections of power and knowledge using a Foucauldian discourse analysis to uncover how the text construct and power within its dystopian framework. The analysis addresses the problem of how institutional authority and ideological constructs shape individual agency and social order. Employing Michel Foucault’s theories on power and knowledge, a qualitative methodology is used to identify themes of authoritarian and technological control. The findings reveal how the novel critiques hegemonic systems by illustrating their reliance on discourse. While previous research has explored dystopian literature’s critique of authoritarianism, fewer studies have examined how speculative history fiction within authoritarian regimes. This research could further explore how similar themes manifest across other alternate history narratives, highlighting their implications for contemporary socio-political contexts.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the intersection between comparative literature and adaptation studies, examining the theoretical frameworks and practical applications that underlie this fascinating field. By analysing the transformation of a classic work into various media, we will uncover the mechanisms of change and the cultural significance embedded in these adaptations. This article examines the film adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola. A comparative analysis is conducted on the novel and film to identify significant changes that occurred in the adaptation process. These changes include the addition of scenes, character modifications, and changes to the plot. One of the main changes is the addition of a romantic element between Dracula and Mina, which is not present in the original novel. This change transforms the theme of gothic horror into a more nuanced tragic love story. The study concludes that the film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula involves a number of significant changes that alter the meaning and experience of the narrative. Further research is needed to understand the motivations and impact of changes in the adaptation process, especially from a cultural and sociological perspective. In addition, a broader comparative study could be conducted by comparing different adaptations of Dracula to see the patterns of change that occur over time. It is also important to understand how changes in adaptation affect audience reception. Adaptation research methodology needs to be continuously developed by integrating digital humanities approaches and new technologies to provide a more comprehensive perspective. More systematic documentation of the decision-making process in adaptation is also needed to understand the factors that influence changes from novel to film, so as to provide deeper insight into the process of adapting literary works to visual media.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of keroncong music as a medium for building and strengthening the values of patriotism, nationalism, and diversity harmony in Indonesia. Keroncong music, which was first introduced by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century, underwent a process of acculturation until it became an integral part of Indonesian cultural identity. During the colonial period, this genre of music was used as a symbolic tool of resistance that ignited the spirit of struggle and nationalism. With its touching lyrics and melodious tunes, keroncong became a means for the Indonesian people to express their love for their homeland and national identity. Songs such as “Bengawan Solo,” “Melati di Tapal Batas,” and “Rayuan Pulau Kelapa” became powerful symbols of patriotism and played an important role in the Indonesian independence movement. Postcolonial literary criticism was applied to understand how colonial and nationalist elements interacted in keroncong music, as well as how keroncong helped reconstruct postcolonial national identity in Indonesia. The results of the study show that keroncong music not only serves as entertainment but also as a symbol of struggle that reflects Indonesia's national identity. As an adaptive form of music, keroncong has successfully maintained its relevance by incorporating local elements and themes that reflect Indonesia's socio-political dynamics. In its lyrics, keroncong conveys messages rich in national values and diversity, capable of embracing all layers of Indonesian society, from various ethnicities, religions, and social backgrounds. The value of patriotism in keroncong music emerges through themes of struggle, love for the homeland, and pride as an independent nation. Nationalism in keroncong is further strengthened by the use of local language and idioms, as well as the incorporation of traditional cultural elements deeply rooted in Indonesian society.

Abstract

Racism is still a prevalent problem in society and is frequently examined in literature and film. Few studies have looked at how racism is created and expressed via characterization in movie scripts using literary frameworks, despite the fact that many have tackled it from historical and sociological viewpoints. Using Wellek and Warren's intrinsic and extrinsic literary techniques as well as George M. Fredrickson's theory of racism, this study attempts to examine how aspects of racism are portrayed in the film script Green Book through the portrayal of its central characters. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to find dialogues and settings that illustrate social inequality, racial prejudice, and the formation of racial identity. While previous research has explored the script of this film but they have not directly discussed the elements of racism that occur in this film, this study can bring the theme of racism deeper into the field of narrative and characterization.
