Abstract

Identity is political rather than natural. It is always influenced by the politics of race, class, gender, religion, education, disability, and so on. This paper examines the complexity of political forces that shape female identity at the beginning of the 20th century Java and the reaction the women show in response to the circumstances where they find themselves, with reference to Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Gadis Pantai. The novel, which is based on the true story of his own grandmother, portrays the life of a practice wife of priyayi, the hereditary governing class of Java. Using interpretive analysis and close reading of the text, the study argues that feudal and patriarchal circumstances help shape female identity in the 20th century Java. Women are doubly discriminated; they find themselves subject to higher powers, i.e. the powers of the feudal lord and the male. However, throughout the novel, the author displays a brand-new female image different from the socially dominant discourses, an image that has qualities of rebellious fervor to trouble the discriminating social category of identity.

Abstract

Studies on intercultural language learning have revolved around the descriptive report of cultural facts, adjustment to the target language's culture, and cross-cultural do's and don'ts. They have not yet exposed the issue in much detail, especially in an emergency situation. This study aims to investigate practical ideas on how to engage Indonesian Islamic higher education students with intercultural perspectives during the Covid-19 pandemic. It addresses what the teachers think about interculturality in the general EFL learning and how they accommodate intercultural perspectives during the virtual class. Using a narrative inquiry, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations. The researcher employed thematic analysis and theoretical lenses on interculturality-based language learning. The study showed that interculturality in EFL learning was not only unavoidable but also indispensable. This learning suggested an equal position between teachers and students in terms of authority of knowledge and vocal participation. The teachers also accommodated the core principles of intercultural perspectives in general EFL learning through proactive construction, connection-making, social interaction, reflection, and commitment, even though they did not take place optimally during virtual learning. Here, the students engaged with one another to exchange information, link ideas, and make sense of meanings. The overall findings of this study imply the vital role of teachers in helping students recognize, appreciate, and respond to cultural variety during the virtual learning process.
