Abstract

This research examines Kartini in Kartini: Princess of Java through the lens of Judith Butler’s concepts of vulnerability and gender performativity. Butler argues that cultural norms and power structures shape individuals’ gender identities and render them inherently vulnerable to external influences. By applying Butler concepts to the stories in Kartini: Princess of Java, the article asserts that the characters not only conform to gender norms to gain recognition but also face vulnerability due to her position within societal structures. This research carried out in a qualitative framework. The analysis explored how the character performed gender roles and the implications of her actions in the social realm. The findings show that Kartini’s performative acts involves breaking free from the normative scripts assigned to women of her time. She confronts gender expectations through her outspokenness, challenging practices like early marriages and polygamy that perpetuate inequality. Her advocacy for women's education is a performative act that aims to disrupt the conventional roles of women and to open new possibilities for their empowerment. This performative activism is intricately intertwined with Kartini's vulnerability. She shares her inner struggles, aspirations, and conflicts, transcending the boundaries set by her society. Her vulnerability becomes a catalyst for social change, inspiring other women to join her cause and challenge existing norms. Kartini's willingness to embrace her vulnerability demonstrates authenticity and sincerity, making her advocacy relatable and impactful.

Abstract

This study presents the conceptual foundation and objectives of a storytelling training program that leverages Sundanese local wisdom as a pedagogical tool to enhance positive character development among early childhood learners. Employing participatory and practice-oriented methodologies, the training yielded significant improvements in educators’ understanding and instructional competencies, alongside observable benefits in children's character formation. The findings highlight the pedagogical value of integrating indigenous cultural values into early childhood education curricula as a strategic approach to cultivating morally grounded future generations. The urge for this initiative arises from the pressing need to instill positive character traits from an early age, particularly in the context of globalization, which poses a threat to the preservation of local cultural heritage. Prior research has underscored the critical role of local wisdom in character education. Within the contemporary educational discourse, there is an increasing emphasis on guarding traditional values while navigating global cultural shifts. This article particularly examines storytelling as a culturally responsive and effective pedagogical method for embedding Sundanese moral and ethical values into early childhood education, thereby fostering holistic character development.
