Abstract

Dunia saat ini sedang menghadapi epidemi besar-besaran. Wabah ini dikenal dengan COVID-19. COVID-19 telah berdampak signifikan pada semua aspek kehidupan masyarakat, termasuk pendidikan, kesehatan, dan ekonomi. COVID-19, tidak seperti pandemi lainnya, disebabkan oleh virus SARS-Cov-2, yang membatasi semua aktivitas masyarakat. Segalanya dilakukan dari rumah. Makalah ini berfokus pada isu pandemik yang dinarasikan dalam karya sastra mulai dari masa lampau hingga masa kini (kontemporer). Oleh karena itu, permasalahan dalam makalah ini dirumuskan ke dalam bentuk pertanyaan: “Bagaimana pandemi digambarkan dalam sastra Indonesia klasik dan sastra Indonesia kontemporer? Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kritik sastra M.H. Abrams “The Mirror and the Lamps”. Kritik sastra Abrams mengejawantahkan tiga fungsi karya sastra: sastra sebagai cermin, sastra sebagai lampu, dan sastra sebagai medium. Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa pandemi telah menjadi subjek karya sastra Indonesia, baik zaman klasik maupun zaman kontemporer. The world is currently facing a massive epidemic. This outbreak is known as COVID-19. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on all aspects of people’s lives, including education, health and the economy. COVID-19, unlike other pandemics, is caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus, which limits all community activities. Everything is done from home. This paper focuses on pandemic issues that are narrated in literary works from the past to the present. Therefore, the problem in this paper is formulated in the form of a question: “How is the pandemic described in classical Indonesian literature and contemporary Indonesian literature? This study uses the literary criticism approach of M.H. Abrams “The Mirror and the Lamps”. Abrams’ literary criticism manifests three functions of literature: literature as a mirror, literature as a lamp, and literature as a medium. The findings show that the pandemic has become the subject of Indonesian literary works, both in classical and contemporary times.

Abstract

The anthology of short stories “Ketika Saatnya” is one of the literary works depicting the Buginese woman image written by Darmawati Majid, a Bugis woman. The problem with this article is how the literature illustrates the Buginese woman’s image based on Spivak’s idea of the subaltern and Islamic perspectives on women’s behaviours. This qualitative method, such as postcolonial discourse analysis, involves classifying data according to certain attributes and elements pertinent to the research aims to acquire research outcomes. It categorizes women as a subordinate demographic within society, politics, and geography, subject to the authority of a dominant group, particularly men. Buginese tradition signifies the supremacy of one male faction over another. This research indicates that Bugis women have consistently been placed in subordinate positions. The marginalized minority is portrayed as endeavouring to articulate their viewpoints and attain acknowledgement despite being labelled as “women of underprivileged areas” caught between conventional and Muslim ideologies.

Abstract

Oral traditions, as an integral part of a society's belief system, not only serve as a guide for society in daily life, such as interactions between members of society and other people, and even with nature or the environment, but they also serve as recorders of history and culture, including natural events. This paper aims to describe the oral traditions of Ternate to identify potential natural disasters that hit Ternate City in particular and North Maluku in general. Therefore, the author uses the theory of myth function to embody the main research problem. The approach used in this paper is semiotics, especially in interpreting natural disasters that occurred in the past through codes contained in oral stories or legends. The research results show that the people of Ternate can only explain a few natural events in the past. Then, it is ontologically digested into myth to symbolise the cosmic-mystical realm of thought. Apart from that, the results of this reflection are related to cause-and-effect events, give rise to rules of behaviour, and become local intellectual ideals. However, records of natural phenomena or past events in myths or legends can, in theory, be linked to the truth and thus make cycles of disaster predictable. On the other hand, in a formal educational setting, this legend can be used to teach about mitigation. Legends about the mysterious origins of certain lakes are thought to include aspects of disaster or mitigation in Ternate.

Abstract

This paper reveals the main problem regarding the author's efforts in presenting the reversal of the hierarchy of the character Danaraja who experiences defeat in the short story "Kembang Dewaretna". To answer this problem, this study uses Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory. Deconstruction is a theory in literary research that rejects the view that language has a definite, certain, and constant meaning as in the classical structuralist view. This rejection occurs because of the separation of space between the signifier and the signified which is considered absolute in the form of traces behind the traces. The method used in this study is deconstruction. This method explains that deconstructing a discourse or literary text shows the collapse of the underlying philosophy or is in hierarchical opposition (binary opposition) to something that is its basis through the identification of operational forms of rhetoric in the text. The results of the study reveal that deconstruction in the short story "Kembang Dewaratna" is a reversal of the hierarchy between the characters Rahwana and Danaraja. The character Rahwana is always narrated as the winner in every battle, while Danaraja is a character who always experiences defeat. In the short story "Kembang Dewaretna", the reversal of the hierarchy is shown by showing the victory of the figure of Danaraja in the fight against Rahwana. Thus, it is concluded that the form of Danaraja's victory is a deconstruction of the elimination of the figure of Rahwana as the center who always appears with his victory.

Abstract

This work aims to provide a detailed account of the moral teachings conveyed in the North Halmahera Talaga Biru Folklore. This method of this study employs qualitative research. The data collection technique employs interviews, audio recordings, and a comprehensive review of relevant literature. On the other hand, analyzing data involves multiple steps, including data reduction, display, verification, and conclusion. The research results reveal two overarching messages: positive and negative. The good messages encompassed in the text are as follows: 1) hope, 2) struggle, 3) sacrifice, 4) loyalty, 5) cooperation, 6) cultural values, 7) patience, 8) friendship, and 9) religious values. On the other hand, the contrasting message conveys a sense of sorrow. Sadness is a negative emotion due to the excessive and unreasonable sadness depicted in the Talaga Biru mythology. The depicted grief revolves around the character Majojaru, who experiences profound sorrow and sheds tears for a continuous duration of three days and three nights, ultimately resulting in their demise. In addition, it is anticipated that this will contribute to the development of theoretical knowledge about the moral themes found in folklore from North Halmahera. Moreover, it can serve as a valuable resource for managing culturally and literarily oriented tourism. Furthermore, this study is anticipated to make a valuable contribution to endeavours aimed at enhancing public consciousness regarding the significance of conserving the adjacent natural environment as a habitat for all global ecosystems.

Abstract

The article examines how language revitalization operates as both a cultural project and a political strategy in the multiethnic city of Tidore Kepulauan, North Maluku. Focusing on the institutionalization of the Tidore language through local education policy, public campaigns, and cultural initiatives, the study explores how language becomes a symbolic medium for reclaiming historical dignity, negotiating collective identity, and redefining belonging. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between June and October 2024, including classroom observations, policy document analysis, and 30 semi-structured interviews with teachers, school principals, education officials, parents, cultural activists, and community leaders, this study reveals the ambivalent effects of language revitalization in a plural society. On the one hand, the policy strengthens Tidore’s cultural pride and challenges the perceived symbolic dominance of Ternate. On the other hand, it generates concerns among non-Tidore communities regarding cultural exclusion, linguistic assimilation, and educational equity. The findings show that language revitalization is not merely a neutral act of preservation, but a contested process shaped by historical memory, symbolic power, and everyday negotiations of identity. The article argues that local language policy in postcolonial and multilingual societies must move beyond ethnic restoration toward inclusive and dialogic models of cultural belonging.

Abstract

Wandiu-diu is a folktale from the Wolio community in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, that depicts a family with two children, where the husband is a fisherman and the wife is a housewife. The husbands role is crucial, as his occupation and actions contribute to the construction of gender roles and power. This article argues that this folktale serves as a mechanism of control over womens bodies, underpinning patriarchal structures through three roles: married women, mothers, and independent women. Using Simone de Beauvoirs gender framework, this study categorizes the data into these three roles and analyzes relevant narratives from the tale. Beauvoirs gender theory critiques the Othering of women, highlighting their historical subordination to men in social, cultural, and political spheres. The findings reveal that Wandiu-dius transformation into a mermaid symbolizes patriarchal control over womens bodies. Marriage binds women to their husbands, motherhood renders them vulnerable through self-sacrifice, and seeking independence makes them objects of societal ridicule. The mermaid figure, rather than signifying freedom, eventually represents patriarchal constraints. Hence, the linguistic choices in Wandiu-diu reinforce patriarchal power, shaping portrayals of womens roles and struggles. Through lexical selection, narrative structure, and dialogue, the tale depicts women as subordinate, their autonomy met with resistance and punishment. Male speech, marked by imperative verbs and possessive pronouns, asserts dominance, while the mothers indirect speech reflects constrained autonomy. While appearing to symbolize female liberation, the tale eventually fortifies patriarchal oppression in the Wolio community of Southeast Sulawesi.

Abstract

This research focuses on the hero's death in two Shakespearean plays, Othello and Romeo and Juliet. It attempts to answer how the author depicts death and dying in Shakespeare's plays. Benstock and Dickinson, two specialists on death and dying, will provide an answer to the challenge. Benstock divides the death stages into three categories: deceased, moribund, and living-dead. Simultaneously, Dickinson mentions three periods of life: children strove (early life), gazing grain (physical maturity), and setting sun (ageing). This qualitative research uses textual analysis by deeply reading to describe the heroes’ deaths in the plays. The conclusion was that the hero's death is simply a Shakespearean device for revealing the truth about anything. The message of peace is Romeo and Juliet's death as a vehicle for unifying two opposing families, as in Romeo and Juliet's tragedies between Capulet and Montague. It explains why there should be death when peace can be easily achieved. Furthermore, the revelation of truth through death confirms Desdemona's loyalty to Othello.

Abstract

This study aims to illuminate the gothic in the Romantic era through Edgar Allan Poe's A Fable. It seeks to answer the question: How does gothic express the worldview in Edgar Allan Poe's A Fable? This study employs the theory of genetic structuralism of Lucien Goldmann, who views literary works as a reflection of scholarly works, including their interrelationship with the social environment, which is the response of the collective subject (trans-individual subject). It occurs due to the shared taste and thought between authors as literary writers and readers in understanding literature as a human factor. The study's significant findings reveal that Gothic in Edgar Allan Poe's A Fable critiques the upheaval stemming from the Enlightenment era, leading to environmental degradation. It is depicted in prose narratives that mention a specific location, the Libyan region, which borders the Zaire River. The river is tainted by saffron. The title of this prose, Silence-A Fable, perfectly captures the silence of the environment, yet it also conveys a sense of restlessness, loneliness, solitude, mystery, tension, and horror. These features collectively embody the essence of the Gothic genre.
