Abstract

This article is aimed at scrutinizing the ecranisation in thetransformation across genre, that is from novels to films, and viceversa. It was found that the ecranisation process from novels tofilms is a process envolving the reactualisation from the writtenlanguage to the audio visual language. The implication of thatprocess is that there are some efforts to shrink, add, or alter partsof the story for various goals. Seen from the perspective of thesociology of literature, this effort could initiate the low readingmotivation to the high watching motivation. In the context ofaesthetic idealism, ecranisation actually exposes an author’sdepression due to his lack of ability to articulate his audio visuallanguage in representing the written language. In contrast, filmshas been de-ecranised into novels. An across genre transformationprocess is thus made, that is from the audio visual tradition,wrapped by advanced technology, to the reading-writing tradition.The latter tradition phenomena is different from the former,specifically in its perspective of the social function of literature.Unfortunately, both cannot avoid the hegemony of industrialisation.Literature and films are no more concerned with easthetic values.Rather they mingle in industrialisation, in particular theentertainment industry.

Abstract

This article discusses the response of Using people to sacred values and social function of Seblang ritual in the context of Using society’s social structure in Banyuwangi, East Java. Library study, participatory observation, and in-depth interview are methods used in this research, while the analysis uses functional-structural method. The result of this study shows that the Seblang ritual is a social institution functioned by Using people as an integral part of their social structure. The sacredness of Seblang also become a meeting point between “alam alus” and “alam kasar”; between the spirits of village’s ancestors (dhanyang) and human beings; between macro cosmos and micro cosmos. The existence of the Seblang ritual’s institution crosses over the temporal boundaries, so until now Using people still maintain the practice as their social and cultural condition support its preservation. The cultural condition relates to religious and knowledge system, while the social condition relates to social structure and geographical environment of village. Such cultural and social conditions become the belief of Using people toward socio-cultural function of Seblang, particularly for fertility in agriculture and their welfare. “The outer power”, both state’s authority and political parties, cannot intervene the Seblang ritual. Implicit memory and meta-cognition constructed in the minds of the public have contributed to their belief in the value of sacred Seblang ritual. They believe the negation of ancestor’s legacy will cause disharmony, both socially and psychologically, which will also lead to disharmony in the social structure of Using society.
