Abstract

The existence of nature-themed literary work is not only used as a setting, but also as a critique of how humans treat and behave to nature. The River, The River in March, The Jaguar, Hawk Roosting, To Paint A Water Lily, and Pike are Ted Hughes’ nature-themed poems. This article analyzes human behavior against nature using eco-criticism proposed by Cheryll Glotfelty and applies the concepts of animals and pollution by Greg Garrard as the principle in analyzing these poems. The researchers also reveal messages from the poems about the importance of human consciousness to preserve nature. The result of this study explains that it shows human violence against nature without thinking about its impact on life of people. The human treatment depicted in these poems that reflect human life and natural conditions in England in the 20th century, where many natural disasters and natural damages occurred as the result of human bad behavior against nature. Nature is part of the life of living things and humans are dependent on nature. Therefore, the condition of nature depends on how humans treat nature.

Abstract

This article discusses environmental postcolonialism practices and the impacts on the environment and indigenous people in William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and Fatris MF's Merobek Sumatra. Go Down, Moses describes the story of land grabbing from the Chickasaw and Choctaw communities and land conversion into cotton plantations in the Southern United States. On the other hand, Fatris MF's Merobek Sumatra captures the expropriation of the customs territory of Anak Dalam communities and land conversion to oil palm plantations in Sumatra. The writers apply the postcolonial ecocriticism approach by Huggan and Tiffin. The data is analyzed through the qualitative method and the result is presented using the descriptive method. The result of the analysis found that there are three practices of environmental postcolonialism in Go Down, Moses and Merobek Sumatra, which are: (1) Dualistic thinking on environment; (2) Land grabbing from indigenous communities, and (3) Nature exploitation. It is also found that these practices have negative impacts on nature and the indigenous people as represented in both books.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengkaji karya sastra Indonesia karangan Sutan Takdir Alisyahbana (STA) Anak Perawan Disarang Penyamun dan karya sastra Amerika Maggie: A Girl of the Streets oleh Stephen Crane. Kedua karya ini mempunyai aliran tema yang sama yaitu tentang kemiskinan. Penulis melihat kedua karya tersebut sebagai refleksi kemiskinan yang terjadi pada kedua negara yang berbeda. Penelitian ini menganalisis permasalahan utama, yaitu kemiskinan dan aspek kebijaksanaannya. Kajian sastra banding ini adalah suatu studi teks accross culutral termasuk sosial dan ekonomi yang sangat kental adanya pada karya Stephen Crane, yaitu Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, novel Amerika yang terbit pada tahun 1893, dan novel Indonesia, yaitu Anak Perawan di Sarang Penyamun karya STA yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1940. Dari kedua karya yang berbeda bahasa dan budaya ini penulis melihat adanya unsur kesamaan tema, yaitu tentang kemiskinan yang disebabkan oleh beberapa aspek di antaranya adalah rendahnya tingkat sumber daya manusia dan kesenjangan yang tajam antara masyarakat kelas atas dan SALINGKA, Majalah Ilmiah Bahasa dan Sastra Volume 11 Nomor 1 Edisi Juni 2014 (118—130) 119 menengah ke bawah. Dalam karya STA itu tergambar keadaan depresi ekonomi Indonesia pada tahun 1930-an yang latarnya terjadi di hutan daerah Sumatra Selatan, tepatnya daerah Lahat.Sedangkan dalam karya Crane terlihat depresi ekonomi Amerika yang dipresentasikan di perumahan kumuh ’slum area’ kota New York, Amerika. Analisis bersifat deskriptif kualitatif dengan paradigma mimetics, di mana data penelitian diambil dari teks (kedua karya sastra) dan konteks (buku-buku teks yang berhubungan dengan keadaan sosial, budaya dan ekonomi kedua negara, yaitu Indonesia dan Amerika) Pertama penulis membahas secara intrinsik dan kedua secara extrinsik dan terakhir secara komparasi dengan menagapilkasikan teori sociology of literature dan political unconscious. Analisis membuktikan bahwa kedua karya sastra yang berlainan bahasa dan negara itu mencerminkan kemiskinan masyarakat Indonesia dan Amerika, depresi eknomi dan sistem ekonomi kapitalis adalah hal penyebab kemiskinan tersebut serta kritikan untuk kehidupan yang lebih baik, dan saran yang harus dilakukan untuk menimalisir kemiskinan itu sendiri
