Abstract

This paper investigated the propaganda strategies in kamishibai (a paper play) story telling in Djawa Baroe Magazine. This study employed text analysis methods and propaganda theories from Jowett and Donnell on the seven kamishibai and found the following propaganda strategies. First, Western powers were portrayed negatively. Second, Japan was not explicitly featured in kamishibai stories. Third, local cultural elements in Javanese culture were used to convey propaganda messages. These findings indicate that entertainment media, such as kamishibai, can be used as propaganda media and subtly inserted using specific trivial strategies.

Abstract

Globalisasi tidak serta-merta diikuti dengan terwujudnya kesetaraan gender di Bali. Hal tersebut terbukti salah satunya melalui banyaknya karya sastra dari Bali yang secara tematik masih mengkritik tentang ketimpangan gender. Di satu sisi, tempat dan ruang mempengaruhi bagaimana gender beroperasi. Masyarakat urban dan rural berpotensi mengalami konflik gender yang berbeda. Penelitian ini membahas objektivikasi perempuan oleh masyarakat rural di Bali dalam novel Kulit Kera Piduka (2020) karya Putu Juli Sastrawan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Teks dianalisis dengan menggunakan teori naratif (Bal), konsep peran dan relasi gender (Lindsey,Castle), dan konsep objektivikasi (Nussbaum). Penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap bagaimana konstruksi sosial-budaya masyarakat rural di Bali dalam novel Kulit Kera Piduka (2020) mengukuhkan objektivikasi perempuan. Hal tersebut ditujukan untuk memperlihatkan faktor yang menyebabkan perempuan rural di Bali kurang memiliki agensi untuk mendapatkan kesetaraan gender. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa struktur sosial-budaya masyarakat rural di Bali dalam novel Kulit Kera Piduka (2020) secara kuat menghambat kebebasan perempuan. Meskipun secara formal perempuan rural tampak memiliki kesempatan untuk mengembangkan diri, akan tetapi norma budaya yang mengakar dalam masyarakat rural telah membatasi kapabilitas perempuan. Masyarakat rural masih terikat dengan norma-norma budaya, namun pada satu sisi juga rela melakukan modifikasi dan komodifikasi budaya demi keuntungan ekonomi. Dalam dua kondisi tersebut, perempuan ditempatkan sebagai pihak yang diobjektivikasi. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, novel ini menekankan bahwa konformitas perempuan rural terhadap budaya yang hanya berpihak kepada visi maskulin semestinya menjadi hal yang perlu dihindari agar tercipta konstruksi sosial-budaya yang menjunjung kesetaraan gender.

Abstract

This study examines how working mothers negotiate her gender role and strategize in facing the condition when domestic and public sphere exist in one space called home after the outbreak COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The research questions are ” how far does working from home give an impact in changing patriarchal gender relation and distribution of work division at home?”, and “to what extends women modify their home functions in coping with COVID 19 pandemic condition and in minimizing patriarchal authority at their own home?” The research uses qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and questioner filling, and focuses on samples of 30 middle class working women, living in Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) area. This study argues that as the impact of Covid pandemic condition, the middle class working mothers, who have been “forced to go back” to their homes, seemingly, use their homes as “struggling places” to renegotiate the old patriarchal role divisions and unequal gender/power relations. Moreover, it is argued that their homes, to some extends, are used as learning sites for gender equality values, and modified to fulfill their extended functions: as domestic, work, and social spheres.

Abstract

This research aims to show how children's literature, namely the novels Mata dan Rahasia Pulau Gapi, internalizes the historical values of Ternate Island and their impact on children's behavior in loving historical buildings. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. The data for this research comes from the novel Mata dan Rahasia Pulau Gapi and non-literary texts, which explain historical facts obtained by close reading. Meanwhile, it was researched using the theory of new historicism to find the harmony between the history depicted in the novel and the historical facts. The results of this research show that the internalization of historical values in the novel Mata dan Rahasia Pulau Gapi seeks to highlight the image of Sultan Khairun and Sultan Babullah and the importance of preserving the historical heritage that is connected to these two sultans, namely the Gamlamo fort or Kastela fort. Apart from that, the internalization of the history of the Dutch occupation, the arrival of Alfred R. Wallace, and the Japanese occupation in the novel Mata dan Rahasia Gapi show how the novel tries to instill an attitude of loving nature.

Abstract

This research analyzes the short story “Sesat Pikir Para Binatang” by Triyanto Triwikromo using a zoo-semiotic approach from Thomas Albert Sebeok, who studies the role of animals as signs in human symbolic communication. The animals in this short story not only function as characters in the story, but also as a reflection of human identity to convey criticism of anthropocentrism and a reflection of human morality. By using zoo-semiotic theory, this research reveals that e zoo narrative in the short story is an allegory of human life, which is full of hierarchy, contradiction, and manipulation. Animal characteristics are seen as ethograms that can be interpreted symbolically. The symbolism of animals, such as elephants, worms, and other creatures, reflects the weaknesses of humans who often project their nature and internal conflicts onto animals. This research contributes to the study of contemporary Indonesian literature and expands the application of zoo-semiotics in literary studies, especially in exploring the relationship between humans and animals. Keywords: zoo-semiotics; ethogram; animal symbolism; anthropocentric; hierarchy; morality

Abstract

Guru sekolah dasar memegang peran krusial dalam mengonstruksi literasi toleransi dan multikulturalisme, khususnya pada institusi pendidikan berbasis agama seperti Sekolah Islam Terpadu (SIT) yang cenderung memiliki ekosistem sosial homogen. Homogenitas ini membatasi eksposur siswa terhadap keberagaman, sehingga diperlukan pendekatan pedagogis inovatif untuk membuka ruang pengalaman multikultural. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini dilaksanakan di sebuah SDIT di wilayah Depok dengan fokus pada dua aspek utama: 1) internalisasi konsep literasi multikultural melalui kerangka kerja “mirror, windows, and sliding glass doors”, dan 2) pelatihan interactive storytelling berbasis aplikasi Twine dan Inklewriter untuk memperkaya metode penyampaian materi keberagaman. Dua karya sastra, yaitu My Garden over Gaza dan Cap Go Meh, digunakan sebagai instrumen utama. My Garden over Gaza menyajikan narasi keadilan, resiliensi, dan harapan melalui simbolisme merawat alam, sementara buku Cap Go Meh mengusung tema kesetaraan dan harmoni antara kelompok minoritas dan mayoritas melalui representasi kuliner lokal. Melalui metode lokakarya dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD), guru dilatih untuk mengolah teks secara kritis dan memproduksi materi ajar interaktif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada pemahaman literasi multikultural serta keterampilan teknis guru dalam menyusun materi ajar berbasis interactive storytelling.

Abstract

This research paper examines the use of mythopoeic structures as an analytical tool to aid in understanding prophetic symbols in literature. These symbols serve to validate a minority group's identity as they negotiate their place in their respective culture, as applied to literature. By broadening or reinterpreting the meanings we derive from these prophetic symbols, we develop a better understanding of the ways Salman Rushdie and Triyanto Triwikromo use them in the context of post-colonial marginalisation and as mythopoeic structures to assist in negotiating an individual's cultural identity. A comparison of the use of prophetic symbols between the two authors will be made through Stuart Hall's theory of cultural identity, comparative textual analysis, and Homi Bhabha's concept of ambivalence. The study also details two additional outcomes of the use of prophetic symbols by each author; Rushdie's relic symbolises both the reinforcement and challenge of a collectively anxious and disruptively domesticated Kashmir Muslim identity, while Triwikromo's highly elusive prophetic relic serves as an identity exemplification through the metaphor of shattered and regenerating identity from the perspective of settler-colonial allegories.  The study's findings indicate that prophetic symbols can serve not only as indicators of theology but also as potent narratives that help form minority identities and provide critical assessments of institutionalized systems of oppression, allowing the possibility of creating alternative spaces where one can belong outside hegemonic standards. In connecting the active processes of myth-making with creating identities through stories, this research demonstrates its value as part of the growing knowledge base surrounding post-colonial theory, cultural heritage theory, and critiquing representations of 'the Other'; therefore, future research should include a comparative analysis of mythic patterns among diverse transnational bodies of literature, employ a reader-response methodology, and examine the relationship between developing narrative worlds, digital texts and current forms of representation for minority cultures, particularly Indigenous peoples.

Abstract

Geisha are professional entertainers who have mastered Japanese traditional arts and often appear in various media covering Japanese culture. However, there are frequent misunderstandings about geisha outside Japan. The release of the Japanese-produced film Shogun has sparked discussions about older films from the west that are set in Japan, such as Memoirs of a Geisha. This study aims to analyze the representation of geisha in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) and how that representation is constructed and reinterpreted by Japanese and Western audiences through the social media platform X. Using textual analysis, this study examines the movie as a cultural text while interpreting social media user’s responses as a form of meaning negotiation. The primary data consist of the movie and X user posts from the United States and Japan between 2021 and 2026. The results indicate significant differences in how Japanese and Western audiences interpret geisha, as cultural background and proximity to the subject of representation greatly influence the movie’s interpretation.
