Abstract

The period of Japanese occupation for 3 years in Indonesia is sort when compared to the Dutch colonial period. However, at that time it was a critical time for the formation of various ideological thoughts. One of the ideologies that emerged in the Japanese colonial era was the ideology of "Greater Asia", which is known as the ideology of unification of Asia. During the Pacific War, Japanese writers who underwent military service in Indonesia published many of his writings for the purposes of Japanese military propaganda, especially those related to prapaganda of Greater Asia ideology. One of the most active writers in spreading this ideology was Asano Akira. This research clarifies the role of Asano Akira in spreading the ideology of Greater Asia through its activities and mobility in Java with the approach of new historicism and orientalism.

Abstract

The mobility from East to West in nowadays perspective might be very different from that of the old days. This paper discusses the mobility of Natsume Soseki from Japan to London in the early 1900s and the cultural adaptation he does there. This research applied descriptive analysis method and the cultural adaptation theory with a novel entitled Rondontō as the material object. Some studies related to this were use as both references and supporting instruments. The findings showed that the mobility of Soseki to London is indeed affects many things in his life. However, from the cultural adaptation perspective, it appears that Soseki does not adapt well to his new society in the city. Though he accepts his new environment and also communicate well with the host or Londoners, but the acceptance of the host and the pressure to adapt have led him to uncomfortable situation. These factors affect the functional fitness where he is not expecting much from the new environment as well as his psychological health where he feels like not belonging to the place. Despite the uncomfortable situation, the mobility gives him an important experience and affects much to him, especially his works and life as a scholar of English literature.

Abstract

It is said that magical realism first appeared in Germany in the 1920s. However, this also allegedly contained in Natsume Soseki’s Rondontō (published in 1905), way before the concept itself was being established. Rondontō tells about the visit of Japanese student to the Tower of London, where he experienced various irrational things. To prove Rondontō's values as a text with the genre of magical realism, we use five categorizations of magical realism by Wendy B. Faris. with literature review method. We categorize the magical realism characteristic in this text where irreducible elements were found in the form of the presence of spirits, then phenomenal world elements were fouind through the detailed descriptions and the appearance of unusual elements themselfs. In addition, there is also an element of unsettling doubt that is raised through the doubts of the main character in understanding his experience, which is connected to the merging of realms where the two worlds are joined between the fantasy stage and the real world. The main character keeps moving in time and places which indicates the occurrence of space and time disturbances. The presence of these five categorizations of magical realism indicates that Rondontō contains magical realism in it. Therefore, the statement that the concept of magical realism first appeared in Germany in the 1920s can not be said to be fit, but rather focuses only on its development in the west. AbstrakRealisme magis dikatakan muncul pertamakali di Jerman pada tahun 1920-an. Namun begitu, hal ini diduga terkandung pada teks Rondontō karya Natsume Soseki (1905), tahun dimana konsep ini belum dihadirkan. Rondontō bercerita tentang kunjungan mahasiswa Jepang ke Menara London, di mana ia mengalami hal-hal irasional. Untuk membuktikan bahwa cerpen Rondontō termasuk sebagai teks bergenre realisme magis, penulis menggunakan lima kategorisasi karakter genre realisme magis oleh Wendy B. Faris menggunakan metode studi pustaka, di mana unsur irreducible element digambarkan melalui hadirnya arwah masa lalu, lalu unsur phenomenal world melalui penggambaran detail yang amat rinci serta dimunculkannya elemen tidak biasa. Selain itu, terdapat unsur unsettling doubt yang dimunculkan melalui keraguan tokoh utama dalam memahami pengalamannya yang berkaitan dengan unsur merging realms (dua dunia tergabung antara panggung fantasi dan dunia nyata). Tokoh kerap melakukan perpindahan waktu dan tempat yang menandakan terjadinya unsur disruption of time and space. Kehadiran lima kategorisasi realisme magis ini menandakan bahwa cerpen Rondontō termasuk ke dalam teks bergenre realisme magis. Dengan demikian, pernyataan bahwa konsep realisme magis pertama kali muncul di Jerman pada tahun 1920an tidak dapat dikatakan sesuai, melainkan hanya berfokus pada perkembangannya di wilayah Barat.

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents a systematic close reading of Jared Carter’s poem ‘Ethel’ through the lens of New Criticism. New Criticism is a literary theory that treats a text as a self-contained object of knowledge. The poem ‘Ethel’ depicts the 1953 execution of Ethel Rosenberg by electric chair. However, in this study, the poem ‘Ethel’ is independent of historical or biological context, author’s intention, or reader’s response. This study employs a qualitative textual analysis methodology, utilizing a five-step systematic close reading instrument: (1)visual mapping of line breaks and indentation; (2)reconstruction of syntax baseline; (3)cataloguing deviations from the baseline; (4)categorization of diction by semantic field and register, and (5)analysis of grammatical voice. Through this methodology, the study reveals the findings of Carter’s use of enjambment, caesura, and indentation creates a ‘structure of interruption’ that mirrors the electrical interruptions in the poem’s content. The analysis identifies a paradox, where bureaucratic terminology (stethoscopes, warden, signaled) collides with imageries (plume, smoke, rose). The grammatical passive voice showcases structural irony, where active verbs are empty (They), inanimate actor (stethoscopes), or modal (had seemed). Meanwhile, the only unqualified active verb (rose) is granted to smoke, rather than to human. These all together generate organic unity. The poem does not create meaning through what it explicitly states about Ethel Rosenberg’s execution. The poem achieves its meaning through how its formal features enact limits of witness, memory, and knowledge. These findings carry global implications for literary pedagogy and critical methodology. They demonstrate that New Criticism’s systematic close reading remains a replicable, teachable, and verifiable model for textual analysis across diverse educational contexts. New Criticism offers a transferable framework that enables readers worldwide to analyze poetry through its internal structural relationships rather than external contexts. The study contributes to formalist methodology in an era of computational text analysis. It asserts that human-centered close reading provides irreplaceable interpretive depth that computation approaches cannot replicate. Keywords: New Criticism, close reading, poetry, Jared Carter, Ethel Rosenberg
