Abstract

While the ghost is almost always connected with the source of terror, psychological disorder, traumatic memory, unfinished task, or dormant desire, could it also be a guide to collective memory and recovery, especially for Native American society? This study aimed to read the haunting phenomenon in Louise Erdrich’s The Stone as literary work that could give a deeper understanding of the relation among haunting, collective memory, trauma, and recovery. It answered two questions: 1) How the haunting narrated past collective memory and system of power to the living, and 2) How the relationship between the memory and the present living might establish recovery. To analyze the text, this study used the haunting theory by Avery Gordon. The main data was collected from Louise Erdrich’s The Stone. The result revealed that 1) the haunting in this work was related to the demand of Ojibwe memory in the reservation era, that was the demand to be remembered; 2) the traumatic event was not over and continues to occur in the present, and 3) this text developed new mode of practicing testimony through the act of remembrance of the past collective memory.

Abstract

La seconde guerre mondiale en France a donné naissance à une nouvelle forme dans le domaine de la littérature. Outre le Nouveau Roman né dans les années 1950, une nouvelle forme de littérature a émergé, à savoir la littérature holocauste. Ce type d'œuvre littéraire qui prend pour toile de fond l'holocauste a été lancé par de nombreux écrivains français, tels que Patrick Modiano, Simone Veille, Joseph Joffo et bien d'autres. Ils ont choisi le décor de l'holocauste avec divers rôles; en tant qu'auteurs (victimes) et en tant que lecteurs de documents sur l'événement. Cette étude vise à décrire la forme de la littérature française sur l'Holocauste, à décrire les œuvres de Joseph Joffo et les récits de l'Holocauste, et à examiner les recherches antérieures sur les œuvres de Joffo. La méthode utilisée dans cette recherche est Library Method. Cette recherche produit des résultats liés aux questions soulevées et à la forme de la littérature sur l'holocauste, l'histoire de l'holocauste dans les deux suites de Joseph Joffo et la position de l'œuvre de Joseph Joffo parmi d'autres œuvres se déroulant dans la seconde guerre mondiale.

Abstract

The lives of differently abled individuals have long been overshadowed by stereotypes imposed by the non-disabled majority. As a result, their bodies are often perceived as incapable of engaging with the world meaningfully. However, narratives written by motorically differently abled authors demonstrate that they do not lose the capacity to make sense of reality. Rather, their perceptual experiences are constituted in different ways. Despite this, the nature of their perceptual world remains underexplored. This study aims to describe the perceptual world of motorically differently abled authors as represented in their novels. This study is limited to three novels by motorically differently abled authors and does not include other types of disabilities or non-literary texts. The data sources consist of Kau Begitu Sempurna by Ariny Nurul Haq, Om by Agil Rizkiani, and Menjeda Cinta by Indah Tinumbia. Drawing on three key concepts from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception: chiasm, body schema, and intentionality, the data were analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. The findings reveal that the perceptual world of motorically differently abled authors is constituted through three interrelated moments. First, chiasm shows how the differently abled body is “disabled” through the social gaze while also serving as a site for the reversal of stigma. Second, the body schema is extensive and plastic, integrating assistive devices and habitual movements as meaningful extensions of the body. Third, intentionality remains existentially oriented toward achievement, love, and meaningful existence, becoming more contemplative in embodied experience. The findings challenge normate-centered interpretations of disability and reposition differently abled authors as epistemic subjects in Indonesian literary discourse, demonstrating that their perceptual world is structured through embodied meaning-making with implications for disability, literature, and social inclusion.

Abstract

Travel writing serves as a crucial medium through which narrators document and interpret their encounters with foreign cultures. This study examines Hanum Salsabiela’s Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika (BTLA) to explore how the narrator reports on the United States, expresses her self-identity during her journey in the United States, and represents the people of the United States through the lens of postcolonial travel writing. This research is significant because the narrator not only depicts the United States as a geographical and cultural space but also highlights the presence of Islam within it. As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, it is not surprising that many Indonesian travel writers are drawn to Islamic regions such as the Middle East. However, in recent years, some have begun to explore Western countries, which differ significantly in culture and religion. The data collection methods used in this research are textual observation and note-taking. In addition, the data analysis employs discourse analysis grounded in the postcolonial travel writing paradigms of Carl Thompson. In conclusion, the study indicates that the United States is portrayed as a metropolitan country, yet it continues to face overlapping social issues, including homelessness, Islamophobia, and discrimination. BTLA functions as self-reflective travel writing, using the United States as a space for the narrator to explore and reflect on her identity as a Muslim. Furthermore, in representing the Other, the narrator still exhibits traces of a neo-colonial attitude, even though she strives to present a cosmopolitan perspective.
