Abstract

This study conducted a comparative analysis between “Lelaki yang menderita bila dipuji” and “Belalang yang suka bergunjing dan tujuh lebah madu”. It aimed to find out the similarities and differences between these two literary works and how these works were able to convey the perspectives of self-actualization. This is a qualitative method and implemented the theory by Abraham Maslow that focused on hierarchy of needs and self-actualization in analysing the data through the texts or the scripts. The findings showed that the two literary works that had been objects of this study showed similarities and differences for the physiological, safety, love, esteem, and even self-actualization needs. Each literary work might offered various style or uniqueness. However, they still portrayed a spot of similarity to each other especially in conveying moral lesson and Indonesian culture and behaviour such as respecting or being polite to each other and praising others sincerely without being envious. In addition, these two literary works showed that the fulfilment of self-actualization is important for human being and literary works were able to portray it properly.

Abstract

The project of public service implemented for this study aimed to improve literacy and Minahasan cultural values through folklore reading. The participants of this public service were 20 poverty-stricken children who lived in Paniki Bawah sub-district located in Manado, North Sulawesi. Before the public service project was implemented, the majority of them were only in the Word Level of literacy level and had zero knowledge about Minahasa folklore. However, after the public service implementation, most of the participants reached the highest level of literacy level, which is called Story 2 Level where they could rewrite their stories by paraphrasing them into their own words but did not eliminate any content of the folklores. This public service project was considered a successful movement and able to improve the participants’ literacy as well as their Minahasan cultural values.

Abstract

In the era of rapid technological advancement, the transformation of Indonesian local literature through digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important cultural phenomenon. This study explores how digital technologies and AI are being utilized to preserve, revitalize, and creatively adapt local literary works rooted in Indonesia’s diverse ethnic and regional traditions. Employing a qualitative library research method, this paper analyzes scholarly literature and digital resources that highlight innovations in multimedia storytelling, language preservation, and AI-generated narratives. The findings indicate that digital platforms such as mobile apps, social media, and webtoons have successfully increased accessibility and cultural relevance of traditional folktales among younger audiences. Furthermore, AI tools like Natural Language Processing (NLP) and generative models have been applied to generate culturally meaningful stories, support language education, and stimulate new creative outputs. However, challenges remain, including issues of authenticity, digital literacy gaps, and limited infrastructure in some regions. This study emphasizes the significant role of technology in shaping the future of local literature, encouraging further collaboration between technologists, educators, and cultural institutions to safeguard and reimagine Indonesia’s literary heritage in the digital age.Key Words: Local Literature, Folktales, Digital Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) AbstrakDi era kemajuan teknologi yang pesat, transformasi sastra lokal Indonesia melalui digitalisasi dan kecerdasan buatan (AI) telah menjadi fenomena budaya yang penting.

Abstract

This study is a comparative analysis that compares five Indonesian folklores that possess a theme of a love story between a mere human being and a fairy. The folklores are Mamanua Lumalundung, Jaka Tarub, Lengajan, Salambous, and Rajapala. This study focuses on finding the similarities and differences among these five. By implementing Robert Stanton’s Structuralism theory in analyzing the data, it is found that they have similarities and differences in the characters or characterizations, plot, setting, and point of view. The similarity among the characters lies on the existence of a regular man and a fairy while the differences lie in their attitude, power, and life priorities. The similarity that can be found in the plot is the love story between a regular man and a fairy while the differences focus on the problems that are described in each folklore and how they handle the situation. For the setting, the similarity is the time setting which is ancient time while the differences are only the description of lakes, forests, and kingdoms. Lastly, the similarity of the point of view is being delivered by the third singular person while only Lengajan and Salambous use the first singular person in the dialogue.

Abstract

This community service aimed to strengthen the community’s capacity and potentials of Talawaan Tourist Village by integrating technology, capacity building, and cultural preservation. The program addressed four main issues: low tourist visits, limited digital literacy, low English proficiency, and declining cultural knowledge. To tackle these issues, the community service program proposed digital literacy training, English for tourism workshops, and establishment of both a 3x4 meter folktale reading corner and a digital e-library at wisatatalawaan.com. A total of twenty participants joined three training sessions, where they learned to create promotional videos, practiced English communication, and practiced managing digital platforms. The program produced both tangible outputs such as the reading corner, books, QR codes and intangible products such as training modules, website, and multimedia content. Community participation was notably high, with community actively enganged in video production, storytelling, and content uploads. The program generated significant impacts that include improved English communication skills, enhanced digital competence, increased visibility of Tunan Waterfall, and strengthen cultural identity. These outcomes are expected to boost tourism, generate economic benefits, and ensure cultural sustainability. Ultimately, the program positions Talawaan as a model for community-based cultural tourism that successfully combines traditional storytelling with digital innovation.

Abstract

This research discusses the preservation of Minahasa language and culture through the actualization of manuscript translation and its digitization stages. This research specifically looks at seven Minahasa languages, namely Bantik, Ratahan, Tondano, Tonsea, Tontemboan, Tonsawang, and Tombulu. Seven languages are rarely used by local communities and are threatened with extinction. This will cause Minahasa culture to erode because language is one of the means to maintain the culture of a region let alone a nation. This research aims to look at the preservation efforts that have been made by various parties in the period of four decades. After conducting qualitative research in the form of a literature study, the author found that starting from the local government, academics, educational institutions, cultural activists and the Ministry of Education and Culture have made certain efforts such as translation actualized by making dictionaries or translations of other regional language books and digitizing manuscripts. This is very helpful for the preservation of Minahasa language and culture. However, more socialization is needed for young people to be able to love, care for, and be proud to use Minahasa Regional Language in daily conversations in order to preserve Minahasa culture.

Abstract

This paper is to discuss the “Orientalism” in The Tale of Genji as world literature through the translations of The Tale of Genji that had been translated into English by the Westerns. The popularity of The Tale of Genji cannot be separated from the important role of the translation. The English translations of The Tale of Genji had become a tool for the people surround the World to enjoy reading The Tale of Genji although they cannot speak or read Japanese. We cannot take lightly the role of translation. Regarding to the translation issue, it is also important to know closely about the translators’ perspective towards The Tale of Genji. Since the major translators of The Tale of Genji are Western, it is imperative to know Westerns’ perspectives towards Easterns since The Tale of Genji came from Asian. With the purpose to resolve this case, the analysis of this paper uses Orientalism as its theoretical concept in examining the Westerns’ perspective towards The Tale of Genji through the translation. This paper also examines how the translations of The Tale of Genji could be easily received as the world literature.

Abstract

This study focused on analyzing Minahasa famous folklores called Toar Lumimuut and Sigarlaki Limbat. Despite just being folklores in the past, due to their popularity, they have been preserved officially in writings and have been considered as local treasure of Minahasa. In order to give them better spot in revitalization due to globalization that give more pressure to the local culture, it is necessary to take specific action to preserve and revitalize them. This study was conducted by gaining data through library research and interview, then analyzed by literary criticism called world literature by David Damrosch. There were five Minahasa local people who participated in the interview. Both of them are males while the other three are females. It is found that both folklores suit the three characteristics to be called world literature. They both are available in several translations, they are refracted in other literary worlds around the world, and they are popular and their scripts have been digitalized by official governments. The acts of comparing these two literary works through world literature perspectives are considered necessary in conveying to the Minahasa young generation and even globally that the local folklores can be classified as world literature as well and becomes the local and national treasure that should be appreciated, respected, and reserved.
