Abstract

This article examines contemporary Indonesian literature as a space for identity negotiation using a new postcolonial perspective. The research focuses on how post-1998 literary works not only represent classic colonial trauma, but also bring forth more complex identity dynamics through hybridity, third spaces, diaspora, and transculturalism. This study uses a qualitative approach to literary text analysis, examining the works of Ayu Utami (Saman), Leila S. Chudori (Pulang), Eka Kurniawan (Lelaki Harimau), and Laksmi Pamuntjak (Amba). These four works were selected because they representatively present the debate on identity in the era of reform and globalisation. The results of the study show that identity in contemporary Indonesian literature is constructed through fluid, non-linear, and dialogical narrative strategies. Saman presents the negotiation of female identity and the body as an arena of resistance; Pulang articulates diaspora identity and transnational politics; Lelaki Harimau reinterprets the relationship between violence, gender, and trauma in a local-global context; while Amba presents a space of collective memory that transcends national boundaries. Analysis shows that contemporary literature functions as a discursive arena where national and global identities are negotiated, debated, and recreated. This article contributes to the expansion of the horizon of postcolonial studies in Indonesia by shifting the focus from classical colonialism to the post-reform context. Practically, this research encourages the use of literature as a medium for multicultural identity education, cultural diplomacy, and critical reflection on Indonesia's position in the global era. Further studies are recommended to explore digital literature, diaspora literature, and interdisciplinary approaches such as digital humanities in analysing the dynamics of identity in contemporary Indonesian literature.

Abstract

A considerable number of night-class students and workers encounter significant challenges related to their physical and mental well-being, which has been demonstrated to influence their motivation and focus. This study demonstrates that fatigue resulting from professional obligations leads to a significant decrease in motivation and concentration levels in students enrolled in night classes. The impact is also evident in their speaking and writing skills, attributed to the difficulty in selecting vocabulary and arranging sentences coherently when experiencing fatigue. However, listening and reading skills tend to exhibit greater stability or minimal impact. To cope with fatigue, students implement strategies such as taking brief rests, recalling academic principles, and utilizing interactive technology. Consequently, it is imperative for lecturers and institutions to implement more interactive, flexible, and relevant teaching approaches that align with real-life contexts, to assist student workers in managing fatigue and achieving optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the academic literacy challenges faced by night class students in English Language Education who also work full-time. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, five students from Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya shared their experiences navigating English academic reading and writing under the pressure of limited time, cognitive fatigue, and minimal institutional support. The findings reveal that these learners often struggle to comprehend complex texts and structure academic writing, not due to a lack of motivation, but because of structural and emotional constraints. Many rely on coping strategies such as digital tools or peer support, though these are often insufficient for deep learning. The study highlights that current academic systems are not fully responsive to the realities of non-traditional learners. It recommends inclusive literacy support such as flexible feedback mechanisms, evening-based writing clinics, and integrated instruction. This research calls for a shift toward more equitable and empathetic approaches in English language education

Abstract

This study aims to identify racism in the songs "Je Suis Chez Moi" by Black M, "Ma Couleu" by Booba, and "Pitbull" by Booba. This study uses the subaltern theory by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The data in this study consist of words, phrases, or sentences in songs that contain racist elements. Data collection techniques included listening and note-taking. The results of the study on these three songs indicate that racism against immigrants is still widespread. Immigrants remain subaltern in society, and discrimination continues to occur. Racism in these songs is divided into two: skin color racism and structural racism. Black skin seems to be the absolute reason why this racism occurs. However, other forms of racism refer to the difficulty of accessing employment and social injustice. These three songs show how the subaltern is depicted through immigrants and descendants of immigrants in their lives in the banlieue and the racism they have to face every day.
