Abstract

The novel Invisible Monster by Chuck Palahniuk reflects the phenomenon of body transformation, such as mutilation, which is considered by society as a deviation from the norm and is called a monstrous body. The discourse is expressed through the character Shannon who carries out facial mutilation; thus, providing space to better understand the phenomenon as an effort to deconstruct established norms. This study aims to investigate the form and factors of monstrous body transformation. To achieve this goal, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach by applying two theories, namely Steinhoff's Body Transformation theory and Bakhtin's Grotesque Body theory. This study found a monstrous body form in the form of a crushed face, experienced by Shannon. The crushed face was because Shannon shot herself in the face. Therefore, Shannon's face was destroyed, her jaw was open, her tongue was sticking out, and she continued to bleed and ooze. The crushed face deviated greatly from society's norms of ideal beauty; thus, it was called a monstrous body. Then, this study identified the factors of Shannon's monstrous body transformation, namely abberanormia, which was developed from the Body Transformation theory. Abberanormia was identified from Shannon's condition of wanting to break the norms of beauty not because she was unable to meet them, but because she had reached those standards and felt bored.

Abstract

Oral literature holds a strong attraction to cultural heritage, whether it is heritage in the form of differences or others, such as water sources, mountains, rivers, and forests that may have literature in the form of folklore, myths, mystical stories, or legends in a region. For example, Kulon Progo Regency, a regency directly bordering Magelang, Central Java, is the place where the history of the Javanese War occurred. There is no doubt about the natural beauty of Kulon Progo, such as mountains, peaks, tea plantations, caves, and equally stunning are the murmuring waterfalls like Watu Jengger Waterfall, hidden from the crowds of visitors. This research will delve into how the legends of Watu Jengger Waterfall have become oral literature that has been passed down through generations in Madigondo and have the potential to promote Watu Jengger Waterfall tourism. This research, conducted using the tourism literature method, connects oral traditions (lore) in the form of legends with their collective background (folklore). The research results show that the legends of Watu Jengger Waterfall dominate three forms of oral literature according to Albert B. Lord: formula, theme, and function. Watu Jengger Waterfall can be developed in the development of folklore-based literary tourism, with its legendary stories, both in oral and written literature. Attractions will be one of the most important components as a means of promotion to the general public through media.

Abstract

This article departs from the findings of the implementation of the community service program of Literary Studies, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada in the form of providing workshop and assistance in writing fiction works for the Komunitas Jejak Imaji (KJI). KJI is a space of community for writers, poets, and students who carry out the routine of gathering, discussing, and producing literary works. This community is located in Yogyakarta — which culturally has a social climate that supports the existence of literary development and the literary community. In the midst of a pandemic, the demands for innovation on the formation of new habits and new knowledge provide a new field for communities to continue to exist in producing literary works. This service was initiated to spark community awareness to revive its literary space amid the pandemic. The implementation of the service program uses lecture, discussion, and practice methods to produce works about Covid-19 that are ready to be published through the application of research and processing of historical data, as well as social facts in literary works. Even though the story ideas from the 14 works of fiction they wrote were a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the tendency of their works is not far from the social problems surrounding them. The conceptual framework used to see the tendency of KJI's fiction is Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory which is to answer the question of how the corona is received and responded to in a political space as well as a literary poetic space. The results of these activities show that the entire works of fiction written by the Imaji Literature Community, tend to put the discourse of globality clashed with various social problems experienced by the Indonesian people in general and local communities in particular during the pandemic. ===== Tulisan ini berangkat dari temuan pelaksanaan program pengabdian kepada masyarakat Magister Sastra, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Gadjah Mada berupa pemberian pelatihan (workshop) dan pendampingan penulisan karya fiksi untuk Komunitas Jejak Imaji (KJI). KJI merupakan salah satu ruang sastrawan, penyair, dan mahasiswa yang ‘menggemari sastra’ melaksanakan rutinitas berkumpul, berdiskusi, dan memproduksi karya sastra. Komunitas ini berlokasi di Yogyakarta—yang secara kultural memiliki iklim pergaulan yang mendukung eksistensi perkembangan sastra dan komunitas sastra di dalamnya. Di tengah pandemi, tuntutan inovasi atas terbentuknya kebiasaan baru dan pengetahuan baru memberikan medan baru bagi komunitas untuk tetap eksis dalam memproduksi karya sastra. Pengabdian ini diinisiasi untuk memantik kesadaran komunitas untuk menghidupi ruang sastranya kembali di tengah pandemi. Pelaksanaan program pengabdian menggunakan metode ceramah, diskusi, dan praktik hingga menghasilkan karya tentang covid-19 yang siap publis melalui penerapan riset dan pengolahan data sejarah, serta fakta sosial dalam karya sastra. Meskipun ide cerita dari 14 karya fiksi yang mereka tulis merupakan respon atas pandemi covid-19, kecenderungan karya-karya mereka tidak jauh dari persoalan sosial di sekitarnya. Kerangka konseptual yang digunakan untuk melihat kecenderungan karya fiksi KJI adalah konsepsi wacana Laclau dan Mouffe yang untuk menjawab pertanyaan bagaimana korona diterima dan direspon dalam ruang politik sekaligus ruang poetik sastra. Dari hasil kegiatan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa keseluruhan karya fiksi yang ditulis oleh Komunitas Sastra Jejak Imaji cenderung meletakkan wacana global yang dibenturkan dengan berbagai persoalan sosial yang dialami masyarakat Indonesia pada umumnya dan masyarakat lokal pada khususnya selama pandemi.

Abstract

Child violence in educational settings is often rooted in mimetic desire, which provokes rivalry and emotional tension among students. This study investigates the dynamics of mimetic desire, rivalry, violence, and reconciliation as portrayed in Rasa, a novel by Tere Liye. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis, the research applies René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire, focusing on the interconnected concepts of desire, rivalry, and reconciliation. Textual elements such as dialogue, narrative perspective, and character development are systematically examined through six analytical stages: data familiarization, coding, theme development, thematic review and coherence checking, theme definition and naming, and interpretive narrative construction. To ensure the reliability and validity of the findings, the study incorporates intra-coder consistency testing—by re-coding at different times—and peer debriefing for collaborative validation. The results reveal that Lin’s mimetic desire to emulate Jo’s academic success and social interactions with Nando leads to escalating rivalry, ultimately manifesting in conflict and interpersonal violence. This unmanaged mimetic rivalry results in emotional manipulation, symbolic violence, and social exclusion, reflecting real-world school dynamics. Significantly, Rasa also offers a narrative resolution through self-reflection and reconciliation, positioning literature not only as a mirror of school-based violence but also as a pedagogical tool. This study contributes to Indonesian literary scholarship by integrating mimetic theory into the analysis of contemporary fiction and enriches educational discourse through an empathy-driven approach to character education and conflict prevention.

Abstract

The folktale “Peulandok” discusses “cleverness” as a reflection of ethics and social strategy. Along with the development of the times, folktales are increasingly less popular among today's children. Its fading popularity among the current generation raises concerns about the loss of transmission of local wisdom values. This study aims to explain the story of “Peulandok” in the Acehnese narrative, ethics and positive social strategies that can be taken from the Peulandok story. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques through interviews and reviewing the works of Acehnese artists related to the Peulandok story. Data analysis techniques through data reduction, data collection, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study explain that the folktale about “Peulandok” or often called “Kancil” is a fairy tale made as a bedtime story for children. The narrative conveyed prioritizes “cleverness” in acting. The findings explain that the folktale “Peulandok” only aims to discuss the unique nature of “Peulandok” in deceiving its enemies. From the story of "Peulandok" can be used as a positive lesson related to the ethics of socializing with others, courage in acting, and being able to communicate well. In essence, this fairy tale has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times until now. In addition, the discussion discussed is not to intimidate someone but is only humorous and unique story. Positive things that can be a narrative of how to adapt and socialize and maintain ethics in speaking well with others.
