Abstract

An author's creative process cannot be separated from the storehouse of knowledge obtained from different results of reading, hearing, or observing of the events around him. This store of knowledge, when juxtaposed with the concept introduced by Wolfgang Iser in his book The Act of Reading: A Theory of Aesthetic Response (1987), can be called a Repertoire. Shortly, repertoire can be understood as the basis for creating a work, as the background to make the foreground the author aims at through his work. This process also applies to Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's short story entitled Rashomon as the foreground of Konjakumonogatari, the 29th volume of the 18th story. This research aims to describe how the social, historical, and cultural writings by Akutagawa Ryunosuke in the Rashomon and compared with Konjakumonogatari, using the Aesthetic Repertoire theory proposed by Wolfgang Iser. The process through which, among others, grouping the data to be analyzed is related to social, historical, and cultural norms of Japanese society. Next, compare the data to see the relationship between Rashomon and Konjakumonogatari. The results showed (1) There are similarities between social, historical, and cultural similarities between literature and reality, (2) Social norms indicate the life of the Japanese lower class in the Heian period called Genin, (3) Historical norms show the dark conditions that Japanese people went through in the Heian era, because of the many problems that occurred at that time, and (4) Cultural Norms show the efforts made by Japanese people in the Heian period to survive despite hurting others.

Abstract

Sabine Kuegler is a German author who was born in Nepal. In her autobiography, Jungle Child, she shared her life experience living in a Papuan jungle as a child.She was accustomed to living a simple life that was untouched by modernization, among the Fayu people, a newly discovered tribe in Foida, West Papua. At the age of 17 she moved back to Germany by herself and found it difficult adjusting to her new environment. This was mainly caused of her deep-rooted connection to Papua culture and her lack of knowledge about European culture. This study aims to reveal the form of the appearance of hybridity, liminality, and ambivalence in Sabine's identity. This paper uses a qualitative method which is in line with postcolonialism discourse. Bhabha (1994)suggest that hybridity is a cross between cultures in society, which appears in various forms, such as language and manner. The result shows that the process of reforming her subjectivity is shown through symbolizations such as place and time setting which at fist creates dichotomies such as East vs West, and childhood vs adulthood. However, Sabine managed to find the connection between those dichotomies, which led to acceptance of her hybrid identity as a German who will always be a part of the jungle. The ambivalence of her identity is shown through her interaction as a German kid with Fayu People and her constant attempt to integrate into Western culture which always brings her back to her life in the jungle.Keywords: ambivalence, autobiography, hybridity, identity, postcolonialism

Abstract

This study examines women’s resilience through the main character in Hanauzumi, a novel by Watanabe Jun’ichi. Employing a narrative approach and feminist literary criticism, the research explores the factors that shape resilience, the forms of resilience displayed by the female protagonist, Ogino Ginko, and the outcomes achieved. The findings reveal that both internal factors, such as trauma and illness, and external factors, including social pressures and societal expectations, shape Ginkgo’s resilience. In confronting these conditions, Ginkgo demonstrates strength through transformations in her appearance and her courage in facing social rejection. Ultimately, she succeeds in fulfilling her aspiration to become a female physician. The character Ogino Ginko in the novel Hanauzumi represents a resilient woman who can confront and overcome both internal pressures, such as trauma and illness, and external pressures in the form of social expectations and gender-based discrimination. The forms of resilience she demonstrates include symbolic identity transformation and the mental fortitude to persevere. Her ultimate achievement as a female physician signifies Ginko’s success in breaking through gender boundaries and proving that women are capable of determining their own life paths. This study highlights the importance of understanding the dynamics of women’s resilience in literary texts as a reflection of their existential struggle against patriarchal cultural dominance.

Abstract

Mastering a foreign language requires not only linguistic skills but also the development of intercultural competence. This study aims to analyze the use of the German children's novel entitled Emil und die Detektive by Erich Kästner as a medium for developing students' intercultural competence in German language learning in Indonesia. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis of literary works. Data in the form of narratives, dialogues, and character actions were collected through listening and note-taking, then analyzed using literary analysis with reference to Michael Byram's Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) framework. Data validity was strengthened through triangulation of sources and theories. The results of the study indicate that the novel Emil und die Detektive embodies values of intercultural understanding, such as independence, solidarity, honesty, vigilance, and equal relations between children and adults. These values have the potential to be integrated into German language learning through discussion activities, interpretive writing, and literary appreciation. Therefore, language learning is not only oriented towards linguistic mastery but also contributes to the development of empathy, interpretation skills, cross-cultural interaction, and critical cultural awareness in line with Byram's ICC model.
