Abstract

This article discusses the Ever After High fantasy series by Shannon Hale using literary Darwinism. The theories used are adaptationist literary studies by Joseph Carroll and learned mechanism theory by Davis M. Buss. The two theories above analyze how characters in the novel navigate restrictive traditions, preserve their lives and prestige, and contend with generational demands and conditioning imposed by their elders. This research analyzes three books in the series, using library research, by focusing on a) characters’ motives of preserving their lives, building reputations, and creating a new idea, and a) conflicts that characters’ experience in relation to traditional values and ideas. Throughout the three novels, Hale presents several relations regarding the character’s motives and self-preservation. First, each character, actively engages in self-preservation, whether or not this means adhering to societal standards or tradition. Second, those who reject tradition do so because the tradition itself is a danger to their happiness and their survival. Third, those who accept or partake in traditional custom, do so because the tradition or the status quo gives them certain privileges or advantages. The characters in the series also all engage in self-governance. Despite the differences in the way they view tradition, the author presents the youngster characters in a way that reaffirms their unique personal identity. Ultimately, the books show a Darwinian truth about younger generations. Whether they reject the tradition and upbringing that have been pushed onto them, or whether they accept tradition and are participating in regeneration of tradition, both demonstrate the importance of self-governance and survival.

Abstract

This article discusses a newly emerging branch of literary criticism, Darwinian literary studies, an approach with a serious ambition to change the landscape of literary studies. It seeks to outline some of the approach’s key contributions, such as explanations of possible origins of narrative and adaptive functions of literature as well as novel ways of interpreting individual works. This piece of writing also explores the controversies surrounding the approach, namely the stance that the approach takes against the postmodernist establishment and the criticism it receives. Regarding both the main ideas and the controversies, this paper seeks to answer and whether or not this approach is useful or relevant at all in today’s modern world.

Artikel ini mengkaji karya sastra Indonesia karangan Sutan Takdir Alisyahbana (STA) Anak Perawan Disarang Penyamun dan karya sastra Amerika Maggie: A Girl of the Streets oleh Stephen Crane.

Penelitian ini menganalisis permasalahan utama, yaitu kemiskinan dan aspek kebijaksanaannya. Kajian sastra banding ini adalah suatu studi teks accross culutral termasuk sosial dan ekonomi yang sangat kental adanya pada karya Stephen Crane, yaitu Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, novel Amerika yang terbit pada tahun 1893, dan novel Indonesia, yaitu Anak Perawan di Sarang Penyamun karya STA yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1940. Dari kedua karya yang berbeda bahasa dan budaya ini penulis melihat adanya unsur kesamaan tema, yaitu tentang kemiskinan yang disebabkan oleh beberapa aspek di antaranya adalah rendahnya tingkat sumber daya manusia dan kesenjangan yang tajam antara masyarakat kelas atas dan SALINGKA, Majalah Ilmiah Bahasa dan Sastra Volume 11 Nomor 1 Edisi Juni 2014 (118—130) 119 menengah ke bawah.

Abstract

This study analyzes Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library (2020) using a New Criticism approach to reveal how regret is transformed into acceptance through symbolism and narrative structure. A qualitative method with close reading was employed, focusing on the novel’s formal elements and supported by relevant secondary sources. The findings show that recurring symbols such as the library, green books, chess, and whales together with the cyclical narrative structure, create organic unity that reflects Nora Seed’s struggle with regret and her eventual self-acceptance. The study concludes that the novel demonstrates how formal elements interact to affirm the theme of embracing self-worth through the reconciliation of regret.

Abstract

This research examines postmodern elements in AI Dungeon, an AI-generated interactive fiction platform, through the lens of Fredric Jameson’s theory of postmodernism and Tzvetan Todorov’s narrative theory of equilibrium. The study aims to identify the Postmodern elements of AI Dungeon in the AI writings, with elements such as fragmentation, intertextuality, crisis of historicity, and the waning of affect, while also looking the way at AI constructs the structure of the narratives. Using two AI-generated stories, Knight and Chosen One, as primary data, the research analyzes narrative progression, emotional expression, and the process of creation dynamics between the player and the AI system. The findings reveal that AI is able to construct human-like narratives and emotions, while also including the instability of postmodernism, as can be seen in how it demonstrates fragmented storylines, a flexible authorship, and non-linear progression. Further in the study, findings of elements of Todorov’s equilibrium model are present; they appear in different tellings, written as a cycle of unresolved forms that reflect the uncertainty of postmodern storytelling. These findings indicate that AI Dungeon does not merely simulate traditional storytelling but transforms classical narrative structures into a hybrid form of digital literature, where meaning is continuously shaped through interaction between human agency and algorithmic processes.
