Abstract

This research examines the ways in which Indonesian local literary narratives formulate and perpetuate cultural identity amid globalizations. It specifically examines the symbolic representations in Entrok by Okky Madasari and Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori through Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework, focusing on denotation, connotation, and myth. The study utilizes a qualitative text analysis approach, relying on comprehensive readings of the novels and supplemented by secondary literature. Symbols like the Entrok (a traditional Javanese brassiere) and the sea are identified and coded using a deductive method based on Barthes’ categories. The results show that Entrok criticizes patriarchal control and class-based oppression by changing the meaning of everyday objects. “Laut Bercerita,” on the other hand, shows the sea as a sacred place of ecological awareness and collective resistance. These symbols function on various semiotic levels, demonstrating literature’s role as a medium for cultural negotiation and ideological critique. The research finds that Indonesian local literature is essential for maintaining cultural resilience and identity development, providing educators and policymakers with effective methods to enhance cultural awareness through storytelling.

Abstract

This study explores the linguistic construction of the expressive speech act of penantian (waiting) in Didi Kempot's song lyrics by employing a descriptive qualitative method with a pragmatic-semantic framework, drawing from Searle’s theory of speech acts and Cruse’s lexical semantics. The analysis was conducted on a corpus of six popular songs selected purposively based on the dominance of penantian themes. Each lyric was examined in terms of its expressive act, contextual meaning, and cultural-symbolic references. This phenomenon of penantian, often associated with deep emotions such as sadness, longing, and resignation, reflects Didi Kempot’s strong identity as Indonesia’s “Godfather of Broken Heart.” The findings reveal eleven expressive variants of penantian (e.g., hope, longing, grief) and seven context-based meanings (e.g., longing for reunion, emotional endurance, betrayal of promises). Furthermore, linguistic representations are constructed through culturally loaded temporal (e.g., "a year," "the third season") and spatial symbols (e.g., "Stasiun Balapan," "Nickerie"), which—when interpreted through a cultural semiotic perspective—highlight the embodiment of time and space in Javanese emotional expression. Using figures of speech such as hyperbole, personification, and metaphor further enhances the dramatic expression of penantian. These findings demonstrate how Didi Kempot utilizes culturally resonant language to articulate the intricate emotional landscape of waiting, betrayal (cidra), and heartbreak (ambyar), thus contributing to the study of pragmatics and semantics within a culturally contextualized framework of regional music.

Abstract

The 19th century as the peak period of colonization and the golden period of Western travel writing creates a complex context in intercultural interactions and representations of foreign cultures. The travel writing highlights the interactions of Western explorers with cultural diversity and the dynamics of power in intercultural relations. The research aims to analyze the representation of cultural difference and intercultural power relations reflected in 19th century French travel writings. The travel writings used are Voyages autour du monde et naufrages célèbres by Gabriel Lafond de Lurcy (1843) and Un Séjour dans l'île de Java (1898) by Jules Leclercq.  Grounded in Said’s theory of Orientalism, the research shows that representations of cultural difference were shaped by narratives of othering and ethnocentrism, and that intercultural encounters reflected unequal power relations that sustained Western dominance. In this context, 19th century French travel writings reinforced the discourse of orientalism and ethnocentrism, with representations of the East serving as a tool to sustain Western dominance and superiority. This study contributes to the understanding of how 19th century European literary narratives participated in cultural hegemony.
