Abstract

Child violence often arises as a consequence of uncontrolled academic rivalry, driven by mimetic desire. This study aims to analyse the depiction of child violence in Merindu Baginda Nabi by Habiburrahman El Shirazy through the lens of René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire. Employing a qualitative research methodology with a descriptive-interpretative approach, this study examines words, phrases, and excerpts from the novel that represent child violence. Data collection was conducted through library research, while content analysis was carried out using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings of this study reveal that child violence in Merindu Baginda Nabi by Habiburrahman El Shirazy stems from mimetic desire, with the character Rifa positioned as the subject and Arum as the mediator. This dynamic escalates into rivalry and ultimately results in violence. However, the narrative demonstrates that such violence can be resolved through reconciliation and self-reflection. Accordingly, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of child violence in educational settings by applying literary analysis through Girard’s mimetic theory. The use of Girardian theory offers a novel perspective on the root causes of child violence in education. It contributes significantly to literary criticism and the broader discourse on conflict resolution through literature.

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 The analytical method used is a wide, close, and deep reading approach that integrates textual analysis and historical documents.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.
