Abstract

ABSTRACTOne of the pioneering novels in English literature, Robinson Crusoe, tells of the story of a man who was thirsty for an adventure, finally made his destiny in an uninhabited island. Written by Daniel Defoe, this novel was said to have similarities with one of the stories in Islamic culture, Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, written by Ibn Tufayl. Hayy was narrated living in an unknown jungle, had nature as his best friends seeking to find the true meaning of life. The purpose of this research is to explore the meanings of the two novels written by authors with different cultural backgrounds and to analyze the meanings based on five reading codes proposed by Roland Barthes in Semiotic analysis; hermeneutic code, proairetic code, semic code, symbolic code and cultural / referential code. Roland Barthes developed this application of structural narrative analysis by splitting the text into lexias and grouping them into the codes. At the end, it was found out that authorial background, cultural representation and religious views of each author are the aspects which made the work unique from one to another. Meanwhile, the similarities are found in some aspects; spirituality, survival and progress,  . Both authors present their own authenticity that it is difficult to justify whether Defoe took his reference from Hayy Ibn Yaqzan to create Robinson Crusoe.

Abstract

Having to interact with crime fiction which presumably is considered as ephemeral literature, cannot be an excuse to dissolve the theme of justice inside the plots. Agatha Christie as the Mistress of Complication and Mystery, has written series of murder and mystery fiction since the beginning of twentieth century. And Then There Were None or entitled Ten Little Niggers, one of her masterpieces depicts Christie’s unique disposition of turning perception from ‘detective as criminal solver’ into ‘murderer as justice protector’. This paper seeks to analyze how justice is portrayed and challenged by looking at the characters created by Christie as well as making a more thorough analysis of the symbols and dialogues. The result of this paper portrays that the idea of justice, just like human beings, can be flawed or misinterpreted even by the so- called a man in the court.

Abstract

This is the study with a concern to reinterpret the feminist ideas on an autobiographical fiction written collaboratively by Islamic woman author, Hanum Rais and her husband, Rangga Almahendra. Taking Faith and The City as the studied material, this study aims to investigate the occurrence of gender identity, traditional gender roles and stereotypes of Asian Muslim men and women in United States and how the story reflects the woman’s struggle in choosing between domestic responsibilities and aspiring career and the man’s struggle in maintaining his relationship without losing their Islamic identity. The method of this study is close reading by identifying gender identity, traditional gender roles and stereotyping of male and female character and representation of man and woman struggle following the Islamic values.  Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that both characters represent struggle of husband and wife who return to Islamic teachings and uphold the values taught by the Qur'an and Hadith to reach gender equity. Both figures tend to making adjustment for giving contribution to public spheres without leaving their faith and values by adhering to the gender role and gender identity and breaking the negative stereotypes surrounding the Islamic couple.
