Abstract

This study aims to explain the representation of society and culture in Middle Eastern countries, including Morocco, Syria, and Jordan in the novel Geni Jora. The theory used is the theory of travel literature with the concept of representation of others according to Carl Thompson. Travel literature is a report about the world that is written based on the author's subjectivity and has a role in shaping the reader's knowledge. The results of the analysis show that the novel Geni Jora uses exploratory journey narratives and presents critical and courageous subjects. Morocco is described as a tolerant Islamic country because it succeeded in combining European modernity with past Islamic religiosity and Jewish culture. While Syria is described as a modern country, it is less religious and too Westernized. Likewise, Jordan is described as an Islamic country, but too westernized and inconsistent with Islamic ethics. The novel represents a contemporary travel literary genre that presents alternative and realistic narratives about the condition of the Middle East as a complex and diverse region. The novel also represents the contemporary travel genre which has not succeeded in narrating cosmopolitanism by still presenting competitive narratives and travel subjects that are superior when interacting with the characters encountered.

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the story of the journey of Sufi adherents while on a spiritual journey exploring several countries in the novel Richlatu-Ibnu Fathumati by Najib Machfouzh. This research used Carl Thompson's (2011) travel writing theory approach, which has three basic principles: reporting the world, revealing the self, and representing the other. The results of the study show that the Qandil journey is presented in three forms: (1) reporting the world in the form of stories about the conditions of the surrounding environment in the form of buildings, communities, and the natural surroundings; (2) revealing the self in the form of Qandil's feelings, emotions, and reactions during the trip. (3) representing the other: the reality of life at the place where Qandil stopped during the trip, which turned out to be a different culture from the cultural reality he had encountered in his home country. This research becomes important when the background of the traveller turns out to influence three narrative forms: reporting the world, revealing the self, and representing the other.

Abstract

Cold War literary studies remain dominated by Western perspectives, particularly narratives from the United States and the Soviet Union, resulting in the marginalization of literary experiences and criticism from Third World countries. Indonesian literary works that represent America as an object of critique have seldom been read as integral to global Cold War literary discourse. This research aims to uncover and explain criticisms of the United States in Umar Kayam's short story collection Seribu Kunang-Kunang di Manhattan within the context of Cold War Literature, using Indonesia’s perspective as part of the Third World. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach within a postcolonial framework, combining the concept of Occidentalism with an intersectional analysis of race, class, and gender. The analytical method used is a wide, close, and deep reading approach that integrates textual analysis and historical documents. The research data include primary textual units from short stories, as well as secondary data, including historical, and relevant academic literature. The results show that Kayam delivers an ideological critique of America by portraying it as a dark and ambiguous space, with a working-class society that is vulnerable and apolitical, and patriarchal gender relations, thereby dismantling the myth of America as a symbol of progress and universal freedom. This research concludes that Indonesian literature serves as a legitimate medium for cultural and ideological critique of Western hegemony, while also affirming Indonesia’s active position in global Cold War literary discourse.
