Abstract

Laki – laki Pemanggul Goni is one of Budi Darma‘s short stories. It was firstly published in Kompas, 26 February 2012, and was then translated by Andy Fuller in 2015. Lontar Foundation published the translated version along with the other translated Budi Darma‘s short stories in a book entitled Conversations. Budi Darma is famous of his surrealist work. It is reflected also in Laki – laki Pemanggul Goni. Therefore, this study was intended to find whether its‘ English version conveyed exactly the same characteristics of surrealism as it was in the original version. Bassnett‘s translation as comparative studies, Popovics‘ types of translation equivalence, and Breton‘s surrealism in literature were implemented as the theoretical framework. This study found that both versions did not convey precisely the identical characteristics of surrealism. The Indonesian version‘s surrealism is stronger than it is in the English version. It might occur because of the cultural gap between the author‘s and the translator‘s.

Abstract

The Blind Side is a movie derived from Michael Lewis’ The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game novel. This movie tells about Michael Oher, a poor black teenager, who is cared for by the country because his mother is a drug addict. The practices of American Values (Paul, 2014; Datesman, Kearny, Crandall, & Kearny, 2005; Doran & Litrell, 2013) can be found through the characters of Michael Oher, Burt Cotton, Leigh Anne Tuohy, and S.J. Tuohy. The data found in this movie is strengthened by Boggs and Petrie (2008)’s movie studies. The findings indicate that not every character in Hancock’s The Blind Side practices American values. Equality seems to be Americans’ ‚homework‛ evidenced by the Oher’s struggle to be accepted as a part of Wingate Christian School. Oher’s hard work, however, is fruitful when he is chosen as a quarterback which then brings material wealth to him. All in all, Hancock’s The Blind Side is a paradoxical example of American values practiced by the society.

Abstract

Sadia Shepard’s Foreign-Returned talks about the life of Pakistani immigrants in America, especially Hasan, who struggle to live a better life in the U.S. American values become the main focus in this study to see their influences in certain characters’ point of view of this short story. The data are selected conversations and the narrations in Sadia Shepard’s Foreign-Returned as well as traditional American values and the sociological data of Pakistani Diaspora in America in the 2000s. This research reveals that most of the characters, both first- and second-generation Pakistani immigrants, practice American values in certain ways. However, values are fluid. Not everyone in the U.S.A believes in American values; on the other hand, non-Americans are possible to practice American values. In brief, how much the American values influence the characters' minds and behavior does not depend on whether they are first- or second-generation immigrants.

Abstract

You’ll Apologize If You Have To (2015), a short story by Ben Fowlkes, portrays the struggle of an American in pursuing his dreams. The primary data of this research is the narration and dialogues uttered by the characters: Wallace, Kim, Molly, the Old Lady, and the Green-Jacket Man. Those data are classified based on the American dreams (Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Livingston, & Sherman, 2014; Cullen, 2003; Mailer, Thompson, & Wolfe, 2009), specifically those related to material wealth. The result of this research reveals that in their daily life, the characters have their perspectives on seeing America as the land of dreams. Generally, they dream of a better life and happiness. However, this short story also portrays American dreams as a paradox because not all Americans have the privilege to achieve those dreams.

Abstract

YBPK Christian Elementary School in Ngaglik, Sukun, Malang has applied the School Literacy Movement (SLM) at the stages of habituation and development with the support from the Community Service Team, Faculty of Cultural Studies Universitas Brawijaya. The community service in 2021 was specifically aimed at assisting the school in implementing the SLM learning stage. At this stage, literacy activities were carried out in the pre-reading, whilst-reading, and post-reading activities. The post-reading activities resulted in several products, including mind maps, drawings, posters, and poems. The teachers observed that the students felt comfortable with the selected SLM activities. This also suggests that teachers are required to be resourceful in designing literacy activities. The programme evaluation reveals that some students were uninterested in the pre-reading activities because the teachers simply explained the vocabulary used in the reading. Nevertheless, the school is committed to keeping the SLM programme to help achieve the school goals of producing excellent graduates and creating an enjoyable learning atmosphere for the teachers and students.

Abstract

The American dream is a national ethos that originated in the United States of America and is widely known and believed by people all over the world. In order to create their American dream, particularly the dream of becoming wealthy, traditional American values are required. In the midst of fulfilling one American dream, a person may unknowingly create a paradox by doing things that are believed to be true but are ironically incorrect. The paradox of becoming wealthy can be found in a person's endeavor by following traditional American principles or inside its actual profession by engaging in a criminal action, sometimes known as a crime. The paradox appeared in the movie I Care a Lot by J. Blakeson which tells the story of Marla Grayson, a court-appointed guardian for the elderly who uses her wards as a weapon to achieve her American goal of being wealthy, and Dr. Karen Amos, a physician who sells personal information about her patients in order to get rich. Both committed a crime and transgressed conventional American principles of material prosperity and hard effort.

Abstract

Gish Jen’s Typical American is a portrayal of Chinese immigrants’ struggles in adapting the life in America (USA). The main characters started to live in the USA; they, however, were struggling in trying to maintain their Chinese values as well as embracing the new American culture. In the process of adjusting this new culture, they had to cope with things that were not always suitable for their prior culture as Chinese. It is found that there are two dominant types of acculturation process presented by the characters in this novel: (1) separation when Ralph’s family maintained their original culture through family reunification and Chinese women’s role perpetuation in the family; and (2) assimilation shown by the rejections to maintain their original culture since the main characters have been influenced by American doctrines. It reveals also that in Gish Jen’s Typical American, acculturation was one of the ways to cope with the culture shock that they experienced as the first generation of Chinese immigrants in the USA. This research reveals also that cultural values were something fluid, although there were differences between Chinese and American cultures that affect one's belief, they were able to adapt to the new culture with some adjustments.

Abstract

Pentigraf is a three-paragraph short story produced by a creative writing community called Kampung Pentigraf Indonesia (the Indonesian Pentigraf Village or KPI). By composing Pentigraf, the authors can articulate the social phenomena such as corruption with greater clarity. Since the 1970s, corruption has become a problem in Indonesia. KPI published a Pentigraf anthology entitled Hanya Nol Koma Satu (Only Zero Point One) in 2020 to express concerns about corruption. KPI has more than 3,000 members on Facebook from diverse backgrounds, including female homemakers, who, in this anthology, discuss masculine dominance themes connected to corruption. This study shows how masculine norms and gendered perspectives contribute to the perpetuation of corruption, as articulated through Pentigraf, written by female homemakers. This study gathered the data from fifteen Pentigrafs written by female homemakers. Employing Bourdieu’s theory of masculine domination, this document analysis analyzes the intrinsic structure of pentigraf by homemakers in Hanya Nol Koma Satu to deconstruct how masculine standards correlate with textual representations of corruption. The results show that male characters in the Pentigrafs have the personalities of being desirous and indifferent to the suffering of others because they cling to wealth achievement and supremacy. Pentigraf is a mini-fiction that is not easy to analyze deeply. Nevertheless, it can articulate moral teachings and capture social phenomena.

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the personal and collective doxa in Kampung Pentigraf Indonesia (The Indonesian Pentigraf Village or KPI), a community started by Tengsoe Tjahjono. This study applies Bourdieu’s theory of the field of cultural production as the frame to observe how Tjahjono’s personal beliefs, or personal doxa, are spread to the members of KPI and hence converted as collective doxa. This study uncovers how Tjahjono’s values shape the community dynamics by exploring socialization and internalization practices in KPI. The findings show that the personal doxa rooted in Tjahjono’s symbolic capital reinforces social structures in KPI, where his power drives the community’s practices. This study emphasizes the role of social sanctions in preserving the community’s principles to guarantee that the Pentigrafs written by the KPI members obey the rules. Moreover, the study discovers how vertical and horizontal interactions in the community contribute to social reproduction, allowing KPI standards to be passed down to new members. This study contributes to understanding how literary communities play a role in cultural production, proposing insights into the dynamics of symbolic power and the practices of socialization and internalization in a minor but highly organized creative setting.
