Abstract

Defamiliarization is a device of art to make things unfamiliar by a process of making strange (estrangement) to increase the difficulty and length the perceptions. The Little Prince, a novella by Antoine De Saint Exupery presents the defamiliarized characters which appear strange and unfamiliar. To recognize them, the character’s familiarity should be identified by the schemata study before came into defamilarization. Experiencing the artfulness of object will give the reader chance to discover any kind of perceived meaning without inhibition for their judgments. This study uses qualitative method in terms of close reading technique in scrutinizing Antoine de Saint Exupery’s The Little Prince. The discussion is conducted through its characters. Although those device are common objects, they appeared strange to open the reader’s mind into any possible assumptions, meaning, and interpretation.

Abstract

This research is an attempt to study Tan Twang Eng’s The Gift of Rain through the lense of Julia Kristeva’s concept of foreignness. The Gift of Rain exposes the story Philip Hutton, a half-Chinese and half-English young man who struggles to determine where he belongs to. The aims of this study is to investigate foreignness experienced by Philip and its impacts to Philip’s life. In additition, qualitative descriptive method is applied to analyze the topic. From the analysis of the protagonist, it is revealed that his sense of foreignness at home, religion as well as race emerge due to the death of his mother which leaves him to be the only Chinese in his English family. In addition, it is also influenced by the way others see and judge his multiple identities. Thus, living within two worlds−English and Chinese− makes Philip mistakenly believe that no one will accept him fully for he is just an outsider, belongs to nowhere.
