Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the Islamic culture and its influence on the characters in the novel. The novel’s main background story takes place in Afghanistan, where Islam is deeply rooted in the society. The rooted belief in Islam shaped the culture of the Afghans. Through the lens of Clifford Geertz's theory of “Religion as Cultural System,” he observes that the practice of a culture often follows the teachings of a religion in the area. This analysis also draws on the opinions of some Islamic figures as a supporting theory to define the Islamic culture portrayed in the novel. This study found that Islamic cultures are portrayed in some chapters of the novel. Moreover, the results of this analysis provide evidence that Islam in Afghanistan significantly influences the country's culture. Since the religion is rooted in Afghanistan, some cultural values follow the belief of Islam found in the characters' daily interactions. They demonstrate how women should wear hijab, how Muslims perform their worship prayers, how a family stays connected, and how younger people should interact with older individuals.

Abstract

Exploitation involves treating someone unfairly for personal gain or utilizing something to gain an advantage. This research explore the theme of exploitation in H.G Wells' The Invisible Man through a marxist literary lens, focus on three main findings: Griffin's exploitation of others through dehumanization and intrumentalization of labor, his dual role as both a victim and an agent of exploitation, and the social reactions to his actions, particularly in the forms of fear and resistance. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research chose selected excerpts and interpreted them within the framework of Marxist theory. This analysis reveals how Griffin, a scientific genius who becomes a tool for domination, reducing others to mere instruments for his personal gain. At the same time, he also plays both roles as victim and agent of exploitation. At the end, this study reveals how society responds to Griffin's actions throughout the story, showing how fear can evolve into resistance when oppressive power threatens social stability. These results highlight Wells' critique of the capitalist exploitation of human potential as well as the complicated relationship between fear, resistance, and power in modern society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the sentence structures and types found in two popular Indonesian songs written in English, “To the Bone” by Pamungkas and “Lathi” by Weird Genius ft. Sara Fajira, and to examine how the songwriters’ syntactic choices contribute to the song lyrics’ expressive impact. Using Carnie’s phrase structure rules (PSRs) for tree diagram constructions, the study identifies constituents, categories, and grammatical functions in the lyrics written by non-native English speakers, especially Indonesians. The results show that simple declarative sentences appear most frequently, with “To The Bone” containing 15 simple sentences within 39 declaratives and “Lathi” containing 9 simple sentences within 22 declaratives. Such syntactic patterns are commonly chosen for emotional clarity and accessibility. On the other hand, “To the Bone” also uses imperatives and interrogatives to enhance emotional engagement, whereas “Lathi” exclusively uses declaratives. Lastly, these songs use fragments and interjections to create emotional impact and support rhythmic flow. In conclusion, these results outline how non-native songwriters manipulate English syntax to create clear narratives and evoke strong emotions in the song lyrics.

Abstract

This Earth of Mankind, a powerful literary work that explores the complexities of identity and the aftereffects of colonial domination, was published in 1980 by Indonesian author Pramodya Ananta Toer. The intricate web of power dynamics present in colonial nations is shown by the novel's examination of oppression. The story sheds light on the racial and social hierarchy that uphold the systematic oppression of the indigenous population, as well as the stark disparities that exist between the colonizers and the colonized. This essay highlights the diverse aspects of identity formation in a colonial setting. The novel's analysis of oppression demonstrates the complex web of power relations that existed in colonial countries. The narrative highlights the glaring differences between the colonizers and the colonized, as well as the racial and socioeconomic hierarchy that sustains the systematic subjugation of the indigenous population. It revolves around Minke, a native Javanese character who struggles with his multiple identities as an educated man navigating a Dutch-dominated society and as a representative of his indigenous culture. The various facets of identity creation in a colonial context are highlighted in this essay.

Abstract

Racism remains a persistent global issue that affects individuals and communities through interpersonal discrimination and structural inequality. This study examines the representation of racism in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, focusing on the experiences of the protagonist, Arnold Spirit Jr. (Junior), as a Native American teenager navigating life between the Spokane Indian Reservation and a predominantly white high school in Reardan. The background of this study lies in the continued marginalization of Native American communities and the need to analyze literary works as reflections of racial realities. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the forms of racism depicted in the novel. Using a qualitative descriptive method and applying the racism theory proposed by Benjamin P. Bowser (2017) as the analytical framework, this study examines individual, cultural, and institutional racism portrayed in the narrative. The findings reveal that racism operates simultaneously at personal and structural levels, limiting opportunities while intensifying identity conflict.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of alienation and isolation in The Sea Speaks His Name by Leila S. Chudori through a Marxist perspective. It focuses on how socio-political conditions during Indonesia’s New Order era shape the characters’ experiences of disconnection from the self and society. Using a qualitative, library-based approach, the research analyzes selected dialogues, monologues, and narrative elements in the novel. Drawing on Karl Marx’s concept of alienation, the findings indicate that the characters experience various forms of estrangement, particularly in relation to identity, social relations, and agency. These conditions are closely associated with state repression and authoritarian control, which contribute to both physical and psychological forms of isolation. However, the effects of alienation are not uniform, as the narrative also presents moments of awareness and relational connection. Overall, the study suggests that the novel portrays alienation as a complex condition shaped by structural forces while still allowing space for human agency. In this way, literature functions not only as a reflection of socio-political realities but also as a medium for exploring the tensions between domination and resistance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyses the internalization of racial discourse in the novel and to examine how white supremacist ideologies shape the characters' social cognition. Using Teun A. Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach in Critical Discourse Analysis and a qualitative descriptive method, the study identifies the discursive patterns that produce anticipatory fear before actual physical discrimination occurs. The results show that racial discourse deeply navigates the characters' mental models, leading to the cognitive dehumanization of the 'Other' and melancholia over lost racial privilege. Moreover, the characters build in-group boundaries and generate apocalyptic paranoia to rationalize victimization. These cognitive manipulations are frequently used to legitimize prejudice and conceal historical guilt. In conclusion, these results reveal how racism works most subtly at the cognitive level, showing that character’s experience racial anxiety even in the absence of real conflict, because they view the loss of whiteness as an existential threat rather than a biological phenomenon. Significantly, this study extends CDA research by demonstrating that dismantling white supremacy requires deconstructing not only institutional racism but also the invisible cognitive frameworks that sustain racial hierarchies in everyday life.

Abstract

Desa Duren merupakan salah satu desa binaan Fakultas Bahasa dan Seni Universitas Negeri Semarang yang terletak di Kecamatan Bandungan, Kabupaten Semarang, Jawa Tengah. Desa Duren memiliki 18 kelompok ataupun komunitas yang bergelut dibidang seni dan budaya. Salah satu komunitas seni yang memiliki potensi pengembangan ialah komunitas kesenian angklung. Komunitas kesenian angklung dinilai masih baru jika dibandingkan dengan kesenian lain yang ada di Desa Duren, Kecamatan Bandungan, Kabupaten Semarang, Jawa Tengah. Hal ini menyebabkan kurangnya atensi masyarakat terhadapnya. Komunitas kesenian angklung sendiri masih memerlukan banyak transformasi. Meskipun potensi masyarakat pada bidang kesenian khususnya Seni Pertunjukan sangatlah besar. Dibuktikan dengan kerap adanya acara rutinan tiap dusun di Desa Duren. Namun, komunitas angklung yang beranggotakan 15 orang tersebut terancam tidak dapat berkegiatan secara berkala. Dikarenakan alat penunjang latihan dan fasillitas untuk berlatih sangatlah kurang memadai dan tidak sesuai prosedur. Oleh karenanya, tim kami berencana untuk ikut serta dalam pengembangan komunitas baru tersebut. Mulai dari memberikan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat mengenai kesenian angklung dengan cara membuat pertunjukan kecil di desa dengan alat musik yang tersedia. Lalu setelahnya diharapkan masyarakat tertarik untuk mempelajari alat musik angklung sehingga sumber daya komunitas semakin mumpuni. Rencana kami mengenai dana yang dihibahkan nantinya dapat memberikan beberapa alat musik guna menunjang kegiatan komunitas. Jika alat dan sarana sudah terpenuhi, maka tidak ada hambatan lagi untuk tidak berlatih bermain angklung. Setelah anggota komunitas berlatih beberapa bulan, maka akan ditampilkan pada panggung konser kolaborasi kesenian angklung.
