Abstract

ABSTRACT This research explores the theme of identity ambiguity in literary works produced by Muslim writers from Turkey and Muslim immigrants in Europe and America, focusing on Muhammad Asad (“Road to Mecca”), Imamu Amiri Baraka (“Some Poems of Imamu Amiri Baraka”), and Abdulrazak Gurnah. These three authors describe their struggles in reconciling their Islamic identity with the different Western cultural environment. Asad through his narrative shows a complex spiritual transformation, attempting to find new meaning in Islam amidst a Western identity crisis. Baraka articulates African-American Muslim identity experiences in the context of political and social struggles, while Gurnah writes about diasporic experiences and postcolonial identity tensions. Important differences emerge when compared to non-Muslim works such as Washington Irving (“Alhambra”) who presents a romanticized narrative of Islam in the past, without internal identity struggles. Similarly, Annemarie Schimmel (“I am the Wind, You are the Fire”) focuses more on the mysticism and spirituality dimensions of Islam without centering on modern identity conflicts. This study concludes that the vacillation between two identities-Islam and the West-is a central theme in the works of Muslim writers, who present diverse approaches to spiritual, social and cultural issues in the modern world. Keywords: Literature, Identity, Muslim Literature, Balance. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi tema kebimbangan identitas dalam karya sastra yang dihasilkan oleh para penulis Muslim dari Turki dan imigran Muslim di Eropa dan Amerika, dengan fokus pada Muhammad Asad ("Road to Mecca"), Imamu Amiri Baraka ("Some Poems of Imamu Amiri Baraka"), dan Abdulrazak Gurnah. Ketiga penulis ini menggambarkan perjuangan mereka dalam mendamaikan identitas keislaman dengan lingkungan budaya Barat yang berbeda. Asad melalui narasinya menunjukkan transformasi spiritual yang kompleks, berupaya menemukan makna baru dalam Islam di tengah krisis identitas Barat. Baraka mengartikulasikan pengalaman identitas Muslim Afrika-Amerika dalam konteks perjuangan politik dan sosial, sedangkan Gurnah menulis tentang pengalaman diaspora dan ketegangan identitas postkolonial. Perbedaan penting muncul ketika dibandingkan dengan karya non- Muslim seperti Washington Irving ("Alhambra") yang menyajikan narasi romantisme tentang Islam di masa lalu, tanpa pergulatan identitas internal. Begitu pula, Annemarie Schimmel ("Akulah Angin, Engkaulah Api") lebih fokus pada dimensi mistisisme dan spiritualitas Islam tanpa memusatkan pada konflik identitas modern. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kebimbangan antara dua identitas Islam dan Barat menjadi tema sentral dalam karya penulis Muslim, yang menampilkan beragam pendekatan terhadap persoalan spiritual, sosial, dan budaya di dunia modern.

Abstract

Abstract This paper addresses the issues and narrative patterns of Muslim literature in Malaysia and Indonesia through a comparative analysis of two important novels, Para Priyayi, by Omar Khayyam, and Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck, by Buya Hamka. These two stories take us into the dynamic world of tradition and modernity, social status, and religious identity in Southeast Asian Muslim societies. On the one hand, Para Priyayi, depicts the complex Javanese elite Muslim mind and its colonial life, while on the other hand, Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck, highlights social status, love, and the conflict between Minangkabau customs and Islamic departure. Through the analysis of the novels, we seek to prove how the narratives of both stories not only represent the development of conflicting images of Muslim identity within their cultural contexts, but also meld harmoniously within the broader tradition of Islamic literary narratives. Keywords: Narrative Patterns, Social Issues, Para Priyayi, Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck Abstrak Makalah ini membahas isu dan pola narasi sastra Muslim di Malaysia dan Indonesia melalui analisis komparatif dua novel penting, Para Priyayi, karya Omar Khayyam, dan Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck, karya Buya Hamka. Dua cerita ini membawa kita ke dunia dinamika tradisi dan modernitas, status sosial, dan identitas keagamaan di masyarakat Muslim Asia Tenggara. Di satu sisi, Para Priyayi, menggambarkan pikiran Muslim elit Jawa yang kompleks dan kehidupan kolonialnya, sementara di sisi lain, Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck, menyoroti status sosial, cinta, dan pertentangan antara adat Minangkabau dan keberangkatan Islam. Melalui analisis novel, kami berusaha membuktikan bagaimana narasi dari kedua cerita tersebut tidak hanya mewakili perkembangan gambaran identitas Muslim yang saling bertentangan dalam konteks budaya mereka, tetapi juga melebur dengan harmoni dalam tradisi narasi sastra Islam yang lebih luas.

Abstract

The Great Gatsby is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most notable works, inspired by his personal experiences with wealth, love, and ambition, particularly reflecting his life on Long Island and his relationship with Zelda Sayre. The novel shows the Jazz Age, an era of extravagance in 1920s America, and analysed into the disillusionment of the American Dream, symbolized by Jay Gatsby’s story and journey. Gatsby's transformation from James Gatz and his lavish lifestyle are depicted as efforts to win Daisy Buchanan's love, but in the end reveal the emptiness of materialism. The novel also explores themes of identity, deception, and the moral decay of society, emphasizing the gap between old and new wealth. Symbolism plays a key role, with settings like East Egg and West Egg representing social class divisions, and Gatsby’s mansion symbolizing his hollow success. Through these symbols and themes, Fitzgerald critiques the pursuit of wealth as a path to happiness and illustrates the failure of the American Dream. Fitzgerald also uses colour symbols such as gold, silver, white, and yellow to show power and wealth in the novel.

Abstract

Abstract In George Orwell's novel Animal Farm, the animals are used as symbols of historical figures to illustrate the dynamics of power and the transformation of idealism into tyranny. Orwell explores themes of rebellion against tyranny, betrayal of the principles of equality, and the manipulation of power through characters such as Napoleon and Snowball. The novel portrays events that reflect the Russian Revolution, with symbols such as the farm representing society. Orwell demonstrates how decision-making, manipulation, and changes in roles influence the transition from hopes for equality to oppressive power. Animal Farm not only critiques the mechanisms of power in politics but also offers insights into the inherent risks of corruption in governance systems. With its strong allegorical elements, the novel provides a universal lesson on the dynamics of power and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals Keywords: Political Allegory, Character Visualization, Main Themes, Symbols Abstrak Dalam novel Animal Farm karya George Orwell, hewan-hewan dijadikan simbol tokoh-tokoh sejarah untuk mengilustrasikan dinamika kekuasaan dan transformasi idealisme menjadi tirani.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the lack of morality in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby as seen from the social and economic context, the morals of the main characters, the theme of betrayal and disappointment, moral symbolism, and modern relevance. The social and economic context highlights the background of the Jazz Age and the American Dream and the impact of materialism on the behavior and values of society at that time. The morals of the main characters: Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, and Tom Buchanan are described in detail about their lack of morality. The theme of betrayal and disillusionment which is a common topic in the novel exposes the relationships between characters and moral betrayal, Gatsby's disillusionment with the idealism of love, and society's reaction to moral offences. Moral symbolism examines the symbol of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eyes as a representation of moral surveillance and the colors and visual elements depicting moral helplessness. Finally, modern relevance provides an overview of how the themes of morality in the novel are still relevant to modern society. The results of this analysis are presented to provide new insights into how the Jazz Age and the idea of the American Dream affect aspects of morality.

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of local color and American slavery in Mark Twin's ‘The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn’. The novel uses local color to create a real picture of life in the American South in the 19th century, through the use of local dialects, descriptions of scenery and environments, and local community habits. Huck Finn, as the main character in the novel, is young and innocent, and he does not enslave black people, which in 19th century South America still existed. His friendship with Jim, a slave trying to escape from being caught by slave hunters, is central to the story and social issues. Jim is not only Huck's friend and protector, but also a character who represents the injustice experienced by slaves. By combining the discussion of local color and American slavery, we as readers discover and reflect on the social and moral values of the time.

Abstract

This study discusses the use of irony in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, illustrating how Orwell engages various forms of irony to critique politics and human nature. Through three types of irony, specifically verbal, dramatic, and situational irony. The novel exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of the pigs, particularly in their manipulation of language and principles. Verbal irony that shows the exaggerated praises that showered the pigs. Also, the transformation of the pigs into a tyrant is shown as a powerful example of situational irony, while the animal’s blind acceptance of the pigs leadership deepens the dramatic irony, as the reader understands the truth behind the facade. This study also explores how the novel uses irony to critique the cynical nature of power and oppression. The research method of this study is a descriptive qualitative method. This data was obtained from the novel as the main source and research journals as supporting theories for this research.
