Abstract

This research examines the concept of the Epic Self in William Wordsworth's poem "Lines Written in Early Spring." The Epic concept predates the Romantic Era, but its meaning has evolved. While epic literature focuses on famous figures, the Romantic Era centres the author as the hero. This study utilizes the dialectical method, involving thorough readings of the poem and related sources. The analysis examines each stanza and line, linking them to illustrate the Epic Self. The dialectical method is suitable as it reveals the Epic Self by connecting the poem's content to the author's history. The research finds that the Epic Self emerges as a rejection of Reason's dogmas, prioritizing human emotions and freedom in daily life. An example is the line, "And 'tis my faith that every flower / Enjoys the air it breathes," suggesting that happiness can arise from any moment. This research aims to provide a foundation for understanding the Epic Self, offering an alternative perspective on non-popular works like "Lines Written in Early Spring."

Abstract

This article examines the oral tradition of Makalelon-Makaaruyen songs among the Tontemboan Minahasa people, a traditional sub-ethnic song form originating from the Minahasan community in Indonesia. Performed in Tontemboan, Manado Malay, and Indonesian, these songs serve as repositories of collective memory, preserving moral teachings and cultural values across generations. This study underscores the enduring role of these songs in upholding moral and cultural principles, collective memory, and cultural continuity, emphasizing the importance of oral tradition in sustaining identity and values among the Tontemboan Minahasa. Functioning as a medium of cultural transmission, the songs embody prayers, petitions, social virtues, and expressions of love for the homeland. Rooted in the Tontemboan sub-ethnic heritage, Makalelon-Makaaruyen songs encapsulate the community’s shared identity and historical consciousness, passed down orally through generations. The collective memory they preserve strengthens social bonds and mirrors the Minahasa people’s cultural worldview through Moral and Cultural Values conveyed, Sociocultural Context and Usage, and Social and Cultural Functions. This article demonstrates how these oral traditions serve as a living heritage that reinforces Minahasa cultural resilience as one among other collective memory of cultural expressions that heartedfully symbolizes and expresses, “Pakutuan Wo Pakalowiren/Pakalowiden”.

Abstract

This research investigates the themes of individual greed and capitalism as portrayed in Martin Scorsese’s film Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). The film chronicles the exploitation of the Osage people in the 1920s, following the discovery of oil on their land. The study aims to explore how greed reflects and perpetuates the capitalist system. Specifically, it analyzes the representation of capitalism in the film through both narrative and cinematic devices. To achieve this objective, a qualitative descriptive method was employed. The analysis included repeated viewings of the film, documentation through screenshots, and an extensive review of relevant literature. This approach was grounded in Marxist theory and the literary framework established by Wellek and Warren. The findings highlight illustration of the interconnection between individual greed and capitalist structures. These findings suggest that the film portrays capitalism not merely as an economic system but also as a mechanism of social exploitation. Within this context, the accumulation of wealth is depicted as being achieved through manipulation, violence, and systemic injustice against marginalized communities. The significance of this study lies in its contributions to the fields of literary and film studies. It illustrates how cinema can reflect and critique the workings of capitalism while offering valuable insights into issues of social inequality. This research serves as a critical reference point for future inquiries in Marxist literary criticism and cultural analysis, informing subsequent critical readings of films that tackle similar themes.Keywords:     Capitalism, Greed, Exploitation, Killers of the Flower Moon
