Abstract

Mysticism is a teaching or belief that states the existence of a supreme reality that cannot be reached by human reason and can only be obtained through direct spiritual experience. This research was conducted by describing: 1) the existence of mysticism in the short story collection Hilang dalam Emkapan Semeru by RJL5-Fajar Aditya; 2) the motif of mysticism in the short story collection Hilang dalam Emkapan Semeru by RJL5-Fajar Aditya. This research uses the study of mysticism by Niels Mulder. The type of research used is qualitative with descriptive analysis method. The data of this research are in the form of quotes, sentences, and paragraphs that describe the existence and motif of mysticism. The data source is the short story collection Hilang dalam Emkapan Semeru by RJL 5-Fajar Aditya. The research data were collected and analyzed by reading, identifying, classifying data, recording, coding using observation guide sheets involving time triangulation. The results of the study show: 1) the existence of mysticism is divided into three aspects, namely material existence (sacred media such as objects considered to have mystical powers), spiritual existence (outward and inner mystical core as the starting point and goal), and moral existence (respect for the hierarchy of norms for noble harmony); 2) the motive of mysticism as a personal desire for worldly satisfaction, is divided into positive motives (good intentions, religious such as salvation or healing), and egoistic motives (black magic, pesugihan, mystical rituals, which are contrary to divine will. Overall, the short story Lost in Semeru's Embrace by RJL 5-Fajar Aditya not only represents mystical phenomena in climbing, but also contains moral messages about courage, solidarity, and respect for nature.

Abstract

This study analyzes the author's worldview in Brian Khrisna's novel Bandung Nearing Morning using Lucien Goldmann's genetic structuralism approach. This study aims to reveal the relationship between the novel's narrative structure and the social structure of urban society as represented through themes, conflicts, characters, and settings. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with textual analysis of intrinsic elements containing expressions of collective ideas and values. The research findings show that this novel presents the dynamics of urban life characterized by identity crises, the pressures of modernity, the disintegration of social relations, and the existential struggles of its characters. The city of Bandung functions as a social space that mediates the characters' psychological conflicts and reflects the conditions of contemporary society. The author's worldview is reflected through criticism of the fast-paced urban lifestyle as well as messages about the importance of self-reflection, emotional health, and the restoration of human relations. This novel, therefore, functions as a social representation that integrates personal experiences and historical contexts in its narrative structure.

Abstract

Abuse of power is a social phenomenon often reflected in literary works as a form of criticism of the reality of social life. This study aims to describe the similarities and differences in the forms of power in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm and Tere Liye's novel Negeri Para Bedebah. This study uses a comparative literature approach with Alan Swingewood's sociological analysis framework, which views literature as a social mirror and a means of understanding societal structures. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques. The results of the study show significant similarities in both novels in terms of legal manipulation, the use of propaganda, and the exclusion of idealism for the sake of elite control. Fundamental differences are found in their sociological contexts: Animal Farm represents the protection of power in a totalitarian system based on physical revolution, while Negeri Para Bedebah reflects power in a modern capitalist system through economic manipulation and political networks. The conclusion of this study confirms that although written in different time and cultural settings, these two novels both threaten how uncontrolled power tends to become a tool of oppression that harms human values.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the denotative, connotative, and mythic meanings in the poems Kaum Beragama Negeri Ini and Selama Ini di Negerimu by Ahmad Mustofa Bisri, utilizing Roland Barthes' semiotic framework. The research data consist of words, phrases, and sentences from both poems that embody denotative, connotative, and mythic meanings. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collection involving the reading, comprehension, and recording of poem segments containing semiotic signs. Data analysis was conducted by identifying signs, classifying the data, and subsequently analyzing meanings based on Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The results indicate that both poems by Gus Mus contain denotative, connotative, and mythic meanings related to social criticism and humanity. The denotative meaning reflects the literal sense of the words used, while the connotative meaning reveals criticisms regarding religious fanaticism, poverty, social injustice, and the erosion of human values within society. Furthermore, the mythic meaning in both poems highlights social perspectives accepted as natural by the public—such as the notion that religious symbols outweigh human values, or the view of poverty as a commonplace aspect of social life. Through the use of simple symbols, Gus Mus successfully conveys profound moral messages and social critiques regarding the reality of life in Indonesian society.

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.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the significance of nine song lyrics in Braga MGNDW’s album Kembara Jiwa through heuristic and hermeneutic readings and to formulate the central matrix that binds the album as a whole. The study was conducted in Gorontalo in 2026 using a qualitative descriptive approach. The corpus comprises Senandung Pembuka Jalan, Jalan Hidup, Nasib dan Takdir, Kembar Jiwa, Sedih Akan Pergi, Kelana, Subuh, Pulang yang Paling Pulang, and Rayakan. The researcher and data cards functioned as research instruments by recording lexical elements, indirect expressions, hypograms, variants, models, matrices, and significance. Data were collected through careful listening, transcription, documentation, and lyric verification with the band. The analysis proceeded through heuristic reading, hermeneutic reading, identification of actual and potential hypograms, and formulation of variants, models, and matrices. The heuristic findings show that the lyrics employ diction related to journeys, wounds, hope, longing, home, mother, light, and acceptance, supported by metaphor, personification, natural symbols, and semantic oppositions. Hermeneutically, the album constructs a progressive narrative of departure, self-formation, struggle with fate, relational harmony, transformation of suffering, perseverance, contemplation, homecoming, and acceptance of life. The individual matrices converge into a central matrix: the existential dimensions of human life. Kembara Jiwa therefore positions local song lyrics as poetic texts that represent the inner journey through which human beings understand, confront, and give meaning to their lives.
