Abstract

Indistinguishable gender ideology in literary works refers to a concept in which the roles, attributes, and social positions of female and male characters are no longer confined by traditional binary stereotypes (masculine–feminine) or biological determinism. This concept is closely related to gender transcendence, understood as an ideological meaning rooted in the internal cultural framework of Bugis–Makassar society. This study examines the representation of indistinguishable gender ideology and the transcendence of Bissu gender in modern Indonesian literature set within the socio-cultural context of Bugis–Makassar society in South Sulawesi. It analyzes how gender roles, characteristics, and issues are constructed and represented in selected literary works. Focus of research includes the shifts in gender narratives over time, the stereotypes that are reproduced or deconstructed, and the social implications of these representations. The study employs a qualitative descriptive content analysis method applied to a selection of significant novels, short stories, and poems within the canon of modern Indonesian literature. Data were collected through close reading of literary texts, identification of patterns in the portrayal of male and female characters, and thematic analysis of issues related to identity, power, and gender relations.The findings reveal that Bissu transcend conventional gender categories, integrating both masculine and feminine elements within a single embodied existence, and are regarded as cosmologically “complete” beings. In this context, Bissu do not occupy a position of gender absence; rather, they exist at a different ontological level beyond ordinary gender divisions, functioning as intermediaries between the human and the spiritual realms.

Abstract

This study developed and validated local-wisdom-based teaching materials for the Kaili Language and Literature course through contextual learning using the Four-D model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The study was conducted at the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, Universitas Alkhairaat Palu, during the even semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. At the define stage, classroom observation and interviews with 31 students, the course lecturer, and the Head of the Study Program were used to identify learning conditions and material needs. Qualitative data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification with cross-source checking. The developed product integrated Kaili language structure, oral and written literature, local-wisdom values, contextual learning activities, and course outcomes; selected assignments also encouraged students to document and digitize local oral-literature resources as an application of preservation. Three domain experts evaluated media, language, and content using five-point Likert instruments. Validation yielded 96% for media, 98% for language, and 97% for content. Limited dissemination through an eight-member academic Focus Group Discussion produced ratings from 70% to 92%, with an overall mean of 86.75%, and generated revisions concerning curriculum alignment, terminology, visual design, and publication standards. The findings establish the feasibility of an integrated local-wisdom-based teaching material through contextual learning; they do not establish learning effectiveness and therefore provide a basis for subsequent classroom trials.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the various types of declarative utterances and the meanings contained in them in the Friends of Merry Riana podcast episode entitled Rejecting Corporate Slavery: Generation Z’s Choice Amid the Ethical Crisis. This study employs a pragmatic approach based on the speech act theory proposed by John L. Austin and John Searle. The theory explains that every utterance can be analyzed through three aspects, namely locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, as it seeks to understand and describe linguistic phenomena in depth based on their contexts of use. Data were collected through documentation, observation, and note-taking techniques on the utterances found in the podcast. Furthermore, the data were analyzed through several stages, including data transcription, identification of declarative utterances, classification based on their types, interpretation of meanings, description of findings, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study reveal six dominant types of declarative utterances, namely permitting, restricting, dismissing, sentencing, surrendering, and classifying. Each type of utterance carries different illocutionary meanings depending on its purpose and context of use. Overall, declarative utterances in the podcast function as instruments of authority that affirm decisions, establish limitations, alter certain social statuses, and construct professional as well as personal realities, particularly in portraying the experiences and perspectives of Generation Z amid the ongoing ethical crisis.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of environmental degradation depicted in the novel Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar by Tere Liye based on Greg Garrard’s ecocritical perspective. The research was conducted during 2025–2026, with the novel Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar, published by Sabak Grip Nusantara in 2024, serving as the object of study. The population consisted of all narrative elements within the novel, while the sample comprised excerpts representing environmental degradation. The primary research instrument was the researcher, supported by data cards for recording and organizing the findings. Data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method, involving data collection, data classification, data categorization, data interpretation, and conclusion drawing based on Greg Garrard’s ecocritical theory. The results reveal that environmental degradation in the novel is represented through four major forms: environmental pollution, deforestation and land degradation caused by mining activities, wildlife habitat destruction, and ecological disasters, including clean water crises, floods, and landslides. These findings indicate that Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar contains ecological criticism of the exploitation of natural resources carried out without regard for environmental sustainability and ecosystem balance.

Abstract

The urgency of this research lies in the need to dissect the psychic mechanism of the character Tara through Alfred Adler’s individual psychology theory to understand how feelings of inferiority transform into an ambition for superiority. This study is crucial for providing a new perspective in literary studies regarding how individuals compensate for past wounds or trauma through efforts to achieve superiority. The purpose of this study is to describe the superiority of Tara’s character viewed from the principles of Alfred Adler’s individual psychology in the novel Katarsis by Anastasia Aemilia. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach utilizing psychology of literature. Data were collected through reading, identifying, coding, and note-taking techniques related to the research. The data source for this study is the novel Katarsis by Anastasia Aemilia. The results showed that there are 22 data points regarding the superiority of Tara’s character in accordance with the principles of Alfred Adler’s individual psychology, including: (1) striving for superiority, seen from Tara’s willingness to visit a psychiatrist and her efforts toward independent learning by reading books; (2) subjective perception, seen from Tara’s efforts to alter the perception of her trauma; (3) unity of personality, seen from her self-controlling attitude; (4) social interest, seen from her expressive attitude, interaction with new people, and helping behavior; (5) style of life, seen from her healthy routines of exercising and taking medication; and (6) creative power of the self, seen from Tara’s ability to analyze other people’s personalities. Based on these results, it can be concluded that Tara is able to achieve superiority by utilizing her weaknesses (inferiority) as fuel or motivation when viewed from the principles of striving for superiority, subjective perception, unity of personality, social interest, style of life, and the creative power of the self.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the actantial schema in Albert Camus’s novel “Sampar” based on A.J. Greimas’s narratological study, focusing on the relations between actants and narrative roles that construct the story’s structure. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data consisting of quotes, sentences, and paragraphs from the novel Sampar, translated by N.H. Dini. Data collection techniques included reading, note-taking, and data classification, while data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The research results show that the actantial schema in the novel “Sampar” is collective and dynamic. The function of the subject is not centered on a single character, but is instead carried out alternately by Dr. Bernard Rieux, Jean Tarrou, Rambert, the group of volunteers, and the people of the city of Oran in accordance with the development of Sampar conflict. The object actant gradually evolves from the effort to understand the disease to the struggle to maintain human solidarity. The sender act is evident in situational pressures such as the appearance of dead rats and the increasing number of victims of the epidemic, while the receiver act is dominated by the community experiencing the epidemic’s social and psychological impacts. The helper actant is manifested through knowledge, social solidarity, and collective work, while the opposing actant is not only the epidemic but also social denial and bureaucratic response delays. The most significant finding of this research is that the boundaries between actants are fluid and dynamic, allowing a character to perform more than one actant function within the narrative. This research demonstrates that A.J. Greimas’s narratology is relevant to analyzing novels with collective conflicts and complex narrative structures.

Abstract

This study examines local cultural conflicts and power dominance in the novel Orang-Orang Oetimu by Felix K. Nesi using a literary anthropological approach. The aim is to describe the forms of local cultural conflicts, power dominance, and the relationship between the two in representing the social reality of Timorese society. The method used is qualitative descriptive with data sources in the form of quotes, dialogues, narratives, and events in the novel. Data were collected through intensive reading, recording, classification, and analyzed based on a literary anthropological perspective. The results of the study show that local cultural conflicts are reflected through the weakening of customary authorities, changes in people’s attitudes towards traditional values, restrictions on the space for cultural expression, and distortions of cultural functions as a guideline for life. Meanwhile, the dominance of power is seen in the practices of social control, social control, the use of authority, and symbolic power that give birth to a culture of fear, silence, and obedience. This study concludes that power dominance is the main factor that drives local cultural change and marginalization. Through the novel, the struggle of the Timorese people in maintaining their cultural identity in the midst of power pressure is depicted, as well as presenting social criticism of practices that weaken local culture.
