Abstract

Since knowledge often suits a situation, knowledge can work as a strategy. Spivak (1993) emphasizes that classroom can be staged as intervention. In the classroom, a case, a theory, or a concept is proposed, and students are encouraged to intervene. In Spivak’s “teaching machine”, it is strategic to always move outside and not be like the mainstream. To do this, one must inhabit, invest, and criticize the knowledge put in hand. With this in mind, this essay attempts to explore how reading literature can help Indonesians negotiate their identities across languages, generations, and cultures, and in the end, would look critically at the politics of identity and culture. This article argues that reading Toni Morrison’s A Mercy provides perspectives on the relevance of teaching American literature within Indonesian context. Tzvetan Todorov’s (1982) theory on the conquest of other helps the analysis on the novel’s colonial issue, while the conquest of America by female characters in the novel is discussed within the frame of feminist studies. Intervention in this case is conducted to question what can be reflected upon such issues for students in Indonesia whose country experienced (post)colonialism and is continuously tackling with the issue of gender equality.Keywords: American literature; feminist studies; Indonesian context; intervention; (post)colonialismKarena pengetahuan sering sesuai dengan situasi, pengetahuan dapat digunakan sebagai strategi. Spivak (1993) menekankan bahwa ruang kelas dapat dikondisikan sebagai medium intervensi. Di ruang kelas, sebuah kasus, teori, atau konsep diajukan, dan siswa didorong untuk melakukan intervensi. Dalam konteks mesin pengajaran yang dikonsepkan oleh Spivak, selalu bergerak keluar (tidak mainstream) merupakan hal yang sangat strategis untuk dilakukan. Untuk dapat melakukan ini, seseorang harus benar-benar memahami, menginvestasikan, dan mengkritik pengetahuan yang ada. Atas dasar pemikiran ini, artikel ini mencoba untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana membaca karya sastra dapat membantu orang Indonesia menegosiasikan identitas mereka melalui bahasa, generasi, dan budaya. Hingga pada akhirnya, akan terlihat kritik terhadap politik identitas dan budaya. Artikel ini berargumentasi bahwa membaca novel A Mercy karya Toni Morrison dapat memberikan perspektif tentang relevansi pengajaran sastra Amerika dalam konteks Indonesia. Teori Tzvetan Todorov (1982) tentang penaklukan yang lain membantu analisis isu kolonial novel tersebut, sementara penaklukan Amerika oleh tokoh perempuan dalam novel tersebut akan dibahas dalam kerangka studi feminis. Intervensi dalam kasus ini dilakukan untuk mempertanyakan apa yang dapat tercermin pada isu-isu tersebut bagi siswa di Indonesia yang negaranya mengalami kolonialisme dan terus-menerus menangani masalah kesetaraan jender.Kata kunci: kesusastraan Amerika; kajian feminis; konteks Indonesia;intervensi; (pos)kolonialisme

Abstract

Language, with the complexity of its structure, can be problematic in terms of interpreting works of literature. This essay discusses the problems perceived in the process of interpretation of free indirect discourse narratives in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Emma, James Joyce’s A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man and The Dead, and Maxine Hong Kingston’s Tripmaster Monkey. Narratives with free indirect discourse opens up possibility of misinterpretation caused by the misconception of whose point of view the story is told. By looking at the works within the concept of narratology by Chatman (1978) and Prince (2003), such narratives—which apply the viewpoint of omniscient narrators—cause ambiguity to the voice of external and internal focalisers. This is due to the fact that the use of such narratives blends the two types of focalisations. The findings of this research lead to an argument that through external focalisation, the view becomes objective. Yet through internal focalisation, the view tends to become subjective as it is infiltrated by the character’s view. Such an argument then gives way to a conclusion that narratives with free indirect discourse gives effect to irony in the story-telling process of the works discussed. Keywords: free indirect discourse, narratology, focalisation

Abstract

Hunger, a novella by a contemporary American novelist, Elise Blackwell, centres in the story of a Russian botanist, Nikolai Vavilov, during the Leningrad siege in 1941. Vavilov protects his collection of seeds at the Research Institute of Plant Industry in Leningrad against all odds, to be preserved for research for future use. In the recounting moments during the siege, the narrative provides parallelism between Leningrad and the ancient city of Babylon. In postcolonial writing, this can be perceived as a form of nostalgic projection of the past (Walder, 2011). Such a parallelism triggers a postcolonial narrative analysis on the pairing of the two as affinity, focusing on the significance of the comparison between the two cities (between the apocalyptic present and the glorious past). The contribution of this parallelism will be discussed to understand the novella as a narrative mode of ecocriticism, with regards to the idea of prioritizing seeds over human lives, which also acts as the steering issue stirring the plot. By mainly referring to Garrard (2004) and Huggan and Tiffin (2010) on ecocriticism and postcolonial ecocriticism, this essay in general aims to investigate how the novella contributes new perspectives on the intertwining between postcolonial studies and ecocriticism.

Abstract

Telah dilakukan penelitian kepada 144 mahasiswa strata S1 dari Fakultas Ilmu Budaya mengenai sikap bahasa mereka terhadap Bahasa Inggris. Survey ini bertujuan untuk menilai sikap mahasiswa terhadap Bahasa Inggris, model pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris, dan materi serta keterampilan berbahasa Inggris. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah teori sikap bahasa yang diambil dari Sarnoff dan Asmah, dan angket yang menggunakan Skala Likert. Penelitian ini juga bermaksud mengukur kemampuan mahasiswa-mahasiswa ini dalam keterampilan memahami bacaan Bahasa Inggris melalui lima komponen keterampilan: (1) kosa-kata yang dimiliki, (2) menginferensi, (3) mengenali kata acuan, (4) menemukan gagasan utama, dan (5) mencari informasi pendukung, berdasarkan uraian dari Kintsch dan Grabe. Pesertanya adalah mahasiswa semester tiga: 39 mahasiswa dari Prodi Sastra Jepang, 52 dari Sastra Sunda, dan 53 dari Ilmu Sejarah. Data diperoleh dari tes kemampuan memahami bacaan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang jelas pada level kemampuan membaca mahasiswa dari tiga prodi ini, walau mereka telah mendapatkan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang sama selama satu semester. Mahasiswa-mahasiswa di satu prodi menunjukkan kemampuan yang tinggi dalam memahami bacaan dan siap membaca buku teks dan jurnal dalam Bahasa Inggris; prodi lain dapat mulai diajarkan membaca teks dengan level tinggi, namun satu prodi lainnya terlihat belum mampu menerima teks Bahasa Inggris untuk level universitas. Sementara itu, hasil dari survey angket menunjukkan perbedaan kecil pada mahasiswa-mahasiswa ini dalam memandang pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris; dan hasil ini juga dapat dijadikan dasar untuk menyusun model pembelajaran yang tepat sesuai harapan mahasiswa yang akan mendukung perkuliahan mereka di bidang ilmu masing-masing.

Abstract

Cerita detektif, sebagai genre karya fiksi, khususnya yang ditulis oleh penulis perempuan masih sangat minim keberadaannya di Indonesia. Berangkat dari fakta ini, maka tercetuslah kegiatan PPM ini. PPM ini merupakan bagian dari kegiatan penelitian tentang deduksi Sherlock Holmes, yang melibatkan anggota Komunitas Penulis Perempuan (KPPI) Bandung. Melalui PPM ini, anggota KPPI Bandung dibekali pengetahuan mengenai penulisan cerita detektif dengan cara pengadaan pelatihan penulisan cerita detektif bertema masalah domestik. Tema masalah domestik ini dipilih karena tema inilah yang erat dengan keseharian penulis perempuan di KPPI Bandung yang semuanya adalah ibu-ibu. PPM ini bertujuan untuk memperkaya khasanah bacaan cerita detektif karya penulis perempuan di Indonesia. Untuk itu, maka PPM ini diproyeksikan dapat membantu penulis perempuan untuk dapat lebih mengasah kreatifitasnya menulis cerita detektif. Metode yang digunakan dalam pembahasan tentang kegiatan PPM ini adalah metode kualitatif, melalui observasi kegiatan sepanjang pelatihan. Hasil yang diperoleh dari pelatihan ini adalah pemetaan topik-topik yang berpotensi menjadi titik tolak rancangan cerita detektif yang akan ditulis. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh adalah tahap brainstorming dan clustering membantu peserta pelatihan dalam hal pemetaan topik.

Abstract

Tulisan ini berfokus pada jalinan antara sains dan sastra dengan mengeksplorasi penanganan masalah paling umum yang dihadapi mahasiswa kajian sastra dalam menulis esai terutama pada tahap identifikasi masalah. Penelitian ini menelaah praktik dalam menerapkan metode investigatif detektif yang merupakan turunan dari metode deduksi sherlock holmes untuk membantu mengurai tahap yang diperlukan dalam mengidentifikasi masalah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan alur penalaran diagnostik yang diperoleh dari penerapan metode investigatif detektif tersebut. Tulisan ini merujuk pada Rapezzi et al. (2005),Wagner (2006), dan Livingstone et al. (2016) sebagai landasan konsep investigatif detektif, konsep investigasi holmes, dan penyertaan teknologi digital dalam kelas. Tulisan ini pada akhirnya menawarkan cara penerapan metode investigatif detektif sebagai model penalaran diagnostik kepada mahasiswa kajian sastra. Simpulan dari tulisan ini adalah formula alur penalaran diagnostik terdiri atas kegiatan mengobservasi, mendeduksi, dan mendeteksi inkonsistensi.This paper focuses on the interweaving between science and literature by exploring a study in tackling the most common problem encountered by students of literary studies in writing essays, which is, identifying the problems. The study analyzes the practice of applying detective's investigative method which is a part of Sherlock Holmes' deduction method, to dismantle the stages needed in the process of problem identification. This study aims to map out the flow of diagnostic reasoning from the previously mentioned method. This paper refers to Rapezzi et al. (2005), Wagner (2006), and Livingstone et al. (2016) as founding concepts of detective's and Holmes' investigations, and incorporation of digital technology in the classroom. This paper ultimately proposes ways on how detective investigative method can be applied as a model of diagnostic reasoning to students of literary studies.
