Abstract

Abstract. Research on biographical novels is mostly focused on how novelists represent figures as protagonists, but they have not explored what the contents of the novel would be like if they used the same figure. In addition, there is no research that constructs the characteristics of biographical novels in Indonesia. This study aims to answer the assumption whether biographical novels present different characteristics even though they emanate from the same figure. Through the Buya Hamka’s biographical novel, this study also leads the efforts to delineate the characteristics of the biographical novel in Indonesia. In order to obtain more objective evidence and constructs, readers’ reception is used as an analytical perspective. In addition, netnography is adopted as a research method because the utilized data comes from social networks. Netnography is expected to facilitate more structured reception results. Our results show that biographical novels still present different characteristics even though they use the same figure. The logical assumption related to these differences is that the novel has a fictitious nature and the novelist has a creative way of interpreting figures as protagonists. This proof also conveys that the characteristics of biographical novels are closely related to their figures/protagonists; the figure as the protagonist, the historical content as the context of the event, the protagonist who is inspiring, the events that are attached to the protagonist, and the style of writing as the personal representation of the protagonist. Through these characteristics, it is possible to distinguish between biographical novels and other novels, including historical novels.Keywords: Biographical Novels; Buya Hamka; Reader’s Reception; Indonesian Literature

Abstract

Abstract. While Indonesian novels have been explored for their depiction of ecological crises, there has yet to be a detailed examination of how these narratives reflect the ensuing socio-ecological systems. This study investigates the portrayal of socio-ecological systems within Indonesian novels in the context of ecological crises. Employing qualitative methods and content analysis, this research utilizes the updated socio-ecological systems framework proposed by McGinnis and Ostrom (2014). The findings reveal various aspects of the crises represented, including forest destruction, forest fires, air pollution, animal extinction, and the degradation of natural reserves. Furthermore, the ecological crisis that has occurred actually gives rise to a socio-ecological system that represents the internal relationships among the resource system, government system, resource unit, and actors, and is influenced by external factors such as the social, economic, and political settings, and related ecosystems. Additionally, this representation of the socio-ecological system provides insights into the conditions of the ecological crisis in Indonesia, particularly in palm oil plantations and nature reserves.Keywords: Ecological Crisis, Social-Ecological System, Indonesian Novels, Ecocriticism
