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

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.
