In children's literature, it is important to present positive educational values in order to develop the character of children as the main target. However, not all children's literary works contain educational valuesThis paper discusses two children’s picturebooks, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and I am The Dog by Daniel Pinkwater, from a reader-oriented perspective. The two picturebooks are seen as the representation of children’s literature of the modern era which tends to give more pleasure, enjoyment and entertainment than educational values. This study questions the absence of didacticism in the works, especially dealing with instructional elements, and interprets it based on its impact on children as their target readers. It uses a participatory research method which places the researchers in the center of the study object, to read, observe and interpret the data. It applies reader-response criticism proposed by Woflgang Iser, and accordingly treats the two picturebooks as literary works. The result shows instead of displaying the didacticisms, both of the books support the freedom and creativity, and satisfy children’s curiosity.

This study examines the lyric of a famous song entitled A Hard Rains a-Gonna Fall composed by American folk musician, Bob Dylan. The objective of this study is to analyze the perspective of the baby-boomer generation, which remarkably differs from that of the older generations in terms of their attitude on certain issues such as war, social injustice, racism and equality in the 1960s America. All of these are reflected in the lyric of the song and also in the sociological and historical facts around the time when the work was created. The approach of sociological literature is employed in this study, which is chosen for the analysis to start from the assumption that the meaning of the lyrics is seen as the reflection of what happens in the society. This is also to reconfirm that a literary work can be used as a means of analyzing a period of time and, therefore, giving insights as to how the general public think about it.

This research attempts to examine the effects of homesickness on Harry potter in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Homesickness as a mental illness is prevalent in people; therefore, the investigation used Harry Potter as its subject. The research adopts the theory of homesickness proposed by Fisher (1989). The research shows the harshness of being homesick in a society that we have little control of and in situations where we have no choice on how to proceed. It highlights the need of attachments in a social sense for individuals who are suffering from homesickness because it is one of the definite cure for a serious and dangerous mental illness. It can affect anyone regardless of age, living conditions, and state of mind.

This study discusses the psychological journey of the female heroine in Margaret Atwood's Surfacing. This paper applies the psychological approach since it is believed to be the most suitable approach to analyze the process of the heroine’s journey towards wholeness. It examines the process of individuation in the main plot of the novel and the characteristics of the process on the heroine’s personal quest. The portrayal of the individuation process is identified through the theory of individuation proposed by Charles Gustav Jung which discusses the process of the individual’s development towards psychological completeness. In order to support the analysis, library research was conducted using the novel as well as the supporting articles from any reliable websites. The result shows that the heroine’s journey can be translated as Jungian’s theory of individuation as there are six characteristics of the process of individuation found within the story. Furthermore, five stages occurred in the heroine’s journey, namely the recognition of the persona, the assimilation with the shadow, the confrontation with the animus, and lastly the appearance of the Self that leads the heroine towards psychological wholeness.

This paper discusses the influence of feminism in the classic Victorian novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. The New Woman is a feminist ideal that appeared in the 19th century, more specifically amidst the rise of the first wave of feminism. The method of research used in this study covers close reading of the source material and analyzing the characters of the novel through the perspective of the New Woman ideals. The female characters in Bram Stoker’s Dracula portrayed the New Woman characteristic to some degree. Women’s independence, intellect, hyperfemininity, and hypersexuality, are some of the aspects of the movement that go against the norm and values of women in Victorian Britain, such as Mina’s “man’s brain” and Lucy’s hyperfemininity, while the Brides of Dracula provide contrast as the oppressed women with their submissive and compliant attitude towards him. Without erasing their representation of these New Woman ideals, Mina and Lucy also portrayed the complexity and dimensionality of being a woman in the Victorian era; their beauty and appeal were praised while their more “unwomanly” aspects present some threats towards men.

The development of New Yogyakarta International Airport is expected to increase the number of inbound tourists. The inbound tourists will bring their cultures into contact with the local culture. A contact between global and local cultures has potential to cause cultural shock and change of values to the local community. Consequently, the local community needs to be aware of the adverse effect of cultural contact, such as the vulnerability of the local values and identity to the hegemony of global culture and identity. Multiculturalism with proper understanding may reduce the adversity the local community faces and in the long run strengthen their local identity and values. Cultivating multicultural understanding can be initiated at the grassroot level among youth by means of exposure to cases of cultural contact. Community engagement program applying simulation is a better model to to build multicultural competence among youth since it brings a closer-to-reality contact situation that stimulates sensible responses to cultural contact.===================================================================Pembangunan New Yogyakarta International Airport diharapkan akan meningkatkan jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara ke Yogyakarta dan daerah-daerah sekitarnya. Masuknya wisatawan mancanegara ke Yogyakarta akan mengakibatkan kontak budaya lokal dengan budaya global. Kontak tersebut berpotensi menimbulkan gegar budaya dan mengubah nilai-nilai lokal. Oleh karena itu, masyarakat lokal harus menyadari dampak negatif akibat kontak budaya,seperti kerentanan nilai-nilai dan identitas lokal terhadap hegemoni identitas dan nilai-nilai global. Pemahaman mengenai multikulturalisme diharapkan mampu mengurangi dampak negatif yang akan dihadapi masyarakat lokal dan dalam jangka panjang mampu memperkuat identitas serta nilai-nilai lokal. Penanaman kepahaman multikultural dapat dimulai pada kelompok akar rumput di antara kaum muda melalui pajanan terhadap kasus-kasus kontak budaya. Program pemberdayaan masyarakat dengan penerapan metode simulasi merupakan model yang lebih baik untuk menumbuhkan kompetensi multikultural di antara para pemuda karena kaum muda dibawa ke dalam kontak situasi yang mendekati kenyataan, yang dapat merangsang respons yang bijak terhadap kontak budaya.

AbstractThe rapid development of technology triggers attitudes and behaviors of consumerism. The two things have a cause and effect relationship that cause multiple pressures on the environment in the form of resource exploitation to support innovation, and waste from innovation products of short use duration to meet consumer desires. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of consumerism behavior that is triggered by the innovation of various technology products and their impact on the environment. With this awareness, it is expected that the community can develop a wise and environmentally friendly lifestyle as an effort to reduce the rate of exploitation of natural resources and increase the uncontrolled waste of technological innovation products. The interdisciplinary approach by combining cultural sciences and psychology provides a formulation of conceptual and practical solutions to environmental problems due to consumerism that is increasingly rampant both in urban and rural areas. This interdisciplinary approach applied in the community service program for the labor force group provides sustainable benefits because it increasingly empowers this group in disseminating wise and environmentally friendly lifestyles to the living environment and work environment.-----------AbstrakPerkembangan teknologi yang pesat memicu sikap dan perilaku konsumerisme. Kedua hal yang memiliki hubungan sebab akibat tersebut menimbulkan tekanan yang berlipat ganda terhadap lingkungan berupa eksploitasi sumber daya untuk mendukung inovasi dan limbah dari produk inovasi berdurasi pemakaian pendek untuk memenuhi hasrat konsumen. Oleh karena itu, perlu penyadaran akan perilaku konsumerisme yang dipicu oleh inovasi beragam produk teknologi serta dampaknya bagi lingkungan. Dengan kesadaran ini diharapkan masyarakat dapat mengembangkan gaya hidup yang bijak dan ramah lingkungan sebagai upaya menekan laju eksploitasi sumber daya alam serta peningkatan limbah produk inovasi teknologi yang tidak terkontrol. Pendekatan interdisipliner dengan menggabungkan ilmu budaya dan psikolog memberikan rumusan solusi yang bersifat konseptual dan praktis bagi persoalan lingkungan akibat perilaku konsumerisme yang semakin merajalela baik di daerah perkotaan maupun pedesaan. Pendekatan interdisipliner ini diterapkan dalam program pengabdian kepada masyarakat bagi kelompok angkatan kerja dalam memberikan manfaat yang berkelanjutan karena semakin memberdayakan kelompok ini dalam menyebarluaskan gaya hidup bijak dan ramah lingkungan kepada lingkungan tempat tinggal maupun lingkungan kerja.

This research analyses the middle grade series, The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall. The object of analysis of this research is the main characters of the series, The Penderwick sisters. The objective of this research is to analyse whether or not the characteristic that the Penderwick sisters possess fit into their designated birth order characteristic that was proposed by Alfred Adler. This research also uses Murtagh John Murphy’s theory of characterisation because this theory is the one that meets the requirement to analyse works using a close reading method. The result of this assessment shows that each Penderwick sister has very distinct characteristics. However, only some of the characteristics that the Penderwick sisters possess that fit into Adler’s birth order characteristics.
