Abstract

Digital and technology have becoming inseparable and integral parts of humans and social life. In many aspects, the exertion of these has extensively spread, including literature. The adjustment of literature establishes cyber literature in the form of digitalized literary works or electronic literature such as e-novel, e-poetry, e-fiction, etc. This research aims at analysing the implementation of cyber literature (micro/macro-fiction) in Narrative Discourse’s students followed by 40 participants. This research employed cyber literature (micro/macro-fiction) theory by Conde & Lopez. This is descriptive qualitative research to describe the phenomenon and its characteristics integrated with digital humanities approach by Capurro. The data were collected using several instruments, i.e. questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The results indicated that; first, there are four stages of implementation; brainstorming, peer-conference workshops, publication, and comments. These stages were conducted successfully which later continued to the production of cyber literature (micro/macro-fiction). Second, the digital platforms used by the participants are Wattpad (55%), Quora (10%), Twitter (7,5%), Tiktok (7,5%), Youtube (7,5%), Blogspot (5%), Facebook (2,5%). This means that percentage of macro-fiction users are dominant 95% compared to micro-fiction 5%. Third, overall, this implementation process achieved great results since the majority participants voted for 51,25% (agree), 39,1% (strongly agree), 8,3% (neutral), and 1,25% (disagree). Meanwhile, ways to increase reading interest are providing interesting headline/ theme, following trends, creating reading clubs, learning technological development, and building consistency while to gain literary criticism interest are starting to utilize digital literary works, avoiding plagiarism, and respecting the authorship and copyrights.

Abstract

This study investigates psycho-trauma in The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (1915), focusing on its forms and symptoms of trauma as experienced by the main characters. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to examine how trauma is represented through the psychological, emotional, and physical conditions of the characters in the novella. The findings reveal that Gregor Samsa, as the main character, experiences dominant trauma characterized by catastrophic transformation and intrusive phenomena. These forms of trauma are reflected in various emotional and psychological symptoms, including shock, denial, confusion, anxiety, fear, guilt, anger, and hopelessness, as well as physical symptoms such as insomnia, bodily pain, agitation, and fatigue. Gregor’s transformation into a monstrous verminous insect functions as the central traumatic event that disrupts his identity and daily functioning.  Furthermore, the study finds that other family members also experience trauma in response to Gregor’s condition. Grete shows emotional instability that develops from care into rejection and hostility, while Mr. Samsa exhibits anger and aggressive reactions, and Mrs. Samsa demonstrates fear, helplessness, and emotional fragility. These findings indicate that trauma is not limited to the individual level but also emerges within relational and familial contexts. The study concludes that trauma in The Metamorphosis operates as a process of psychological transmission within the Samsa family. Gregor’s transformation acts as the initiating traumatic event that generates secondary trauma among other family members, ultimately reshaping family relationships and leading to emotional fragmentation and family disintegration.

Abstract

This study investigates how unhomely experiences shape the process of cultural adaptation and identity negotiation in Umm Zakiyyah's Muslim Girl., focusing on the protagonist, Inaya, a Muslim girl who moves from Saudi to America. This study examines how Inaya’s unhomely experiences lead her to negotiate identity and develop strategies for cultural integration. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes textual data drawn from the novel. Two theories are used in this research: the first, Homi Bhabha's concept of the unhomely, which reveals how Inaya feels alienated in society; and the second, John W. Berry's acculturation theory, which explains how the prominent figure accepts and adapts to the new culture through integration. The findings reveal that Inaya’s unhomely experiences manifest as awkwardness, uncanniness, incoherence, and instability. These conditions are shaped by cultural differences, religious visibility, and social interaction in the host society. However, these experiences do not remain unresolved. Inaya gradually develops coping strategies through school participation, social recognition, and identity negotiation, which lead her toward cultural integration. With several experiences, Inaya's growth has involved being an open minded, adapting to new environments, participating in social events, achieving academically, and respecting others. This research demonstrates that unhomely experiences transform into an integrated identity through the negotiation of a hybrid identity while maintaining her religious faith. Thus, this research contributes to diaspora studies, Muslim identities, and modern intercultural communication.
