Abstract

This article deals with Roland Barthes’ mythological thinking and its methodological implication in literary studies. Its basic thinking is that in various modes of representation exist the dynamics of mythical signification using denotative signification as its basic and aims to address particular message to readers or viewers. Such signification intertwines with the complexity of discourses, histories, knowledge, and problems in the real life. Its final goal is to depoliticize and ex-nominates making something nameless dominant political interest in narrative naturally. Barthes also conceptualizes an idea on second myth that uses (the first) myth as its basis of signifying process to subvert the dominant class’ political interest. For explaining the contributions of these two mythological perspectives in literary studies, I give conceptualize method of analysis using both of them. As concluding remarks, I position Barthes’ mythological thinking as a theoretical framework which can avoid literary studies from over intervention of outside-literary factors political economy, general theories, etc. that make the studies seem losing their narrative base. Because Barthes’ perspective emphasizes on reading of narrative dynamics without negating exploration of discursive richness in signifying process, naturalization of ideological discourses, and ex-nomination of particular political interest.AbstrakTulisan ini membahas pemikiran mitologis Roland Barthes serta implikasi metodologisnya dalam kajian sastra. Inti dari pemikirannya adalah bahwa dalam beragam moda representasi berlangsung dinamika penandaan mitis yang menggunakan penandaan denotatif sebagai basisnya dan bertujuan menyampaikan pesan tertentu kepada pembaca ataupun penonton. Penandaan tersebut berjalin-kelindan dengan kompleksitas wacana, sejarah, pengetahuan, dan permasalahan dalam kehidupan nyata. Tujuan akhirnya adalah untuk mendepolitisasi dan mengeksnominasi menjadikan sesuatu tak bernama kepentingan politik dominan dalam narasi secara alamiah. Barthes juga mengkonseptualisasikan gagasan tentang mitos kedua yang menggunakan mitos (pertama) sebagai basis proses penandaan untuk mensubversi kepentingan politik kelas dominan. Untuk menjelaskan implikasi metodologis kedua perspektif mitologis tersebut dalam kajian sastra, saya mengkonseptuliasikan metode analisis dengan menggunakan keduanya. Sebagai simpulan, saya memosisikan pemikiran mitologis Barthes sebagai kerangka teoretis yang bisa menghindarkan kajian sastra dari intervensi berlebihan dari faktor-faktor di luar sastra faktor ekonomi-politik, teori-teori umum, dan lain-lain yang menjadikan kajian tersebut tampak kehilangan pijakan naratif. Karena perspektif Barthes menekankan kepada pembacaan dinamika naratif dalam kerangka penandaan tanpa mengabaikan eksplorasi kekayaan diskursif dalam proses penandaan, naturalisasi wacana ideologis, dan eks-nominasi kepentingan politik partikular.

Abstract

This article studies orientalism constructed in the novel of Digital Fortress that is written by Dan Brown. Orientalism discourse appears in the literary works through narrative events and conversations of the Western and the Eastern. Ensei Tankado, a Japanese character, will be presented in this study in the lens of Western. The aim is to explore orientalism discourse in the novel to get an understanding of the ideology interest as part of the Western power. Theory of Orientalism by Edward Said is applied in this study. It modifies Foucauldian discourse theory and Gramscian hegemony. The four concept of Orientalism discourse including political power, intellectual power, cultural power and moral power will be used in this study. How the Eastern subject is positioned by the Western in Digital Fortress becomes the focus. Japanese and the United States in the novel can be related to the contextual condition that cultural domination and hegemony still occur between Japan-USA since World War II. Orientalism in the literary works is a new imperialism. The goal of this study is to reveal that the novel brings cultural domination.

Abstract

This study focuses on cultural identity and cultural changes that are experienced by the main character in the memoir The Girl with Seven Names written by Hyeonseo Lee. This study follows Hall's (1996) theory about cultural identity in the process of becoming rather than being. There are three scopes of study in analyzing cultural identity, including: how is the process of cultural identity constructed; the cultural disparities in achieving social status between South Korea and North Korea; and the criticism toward North Korea. Using a textual approach, the data were analyzed after the researchers did a series of close reading. The results reveal the struggle of the main character’s process of identity becoming as an immigrant in surviving the host culture to form a new identity as a North Korean defector. The findings also showed that this memoir was used as a form of criticism toward the North Korean government whose politics and class system restrict its people’s freedom.
