Abstract

The novel “Kemarau” by A.A. Navis is a literary work that reflects the social life of the Minangkabau community. The main focus of this novel is on the life struggles of its characters. The issue of marriage, particularly the marriages involving the children in the novel, becomes the central focus of this research, aiming to uncover the problems and reasons behind the forbidden marriages portrayed in the story. Forbidden marriages in “Kemarau” arise from the father's attempt to overcome loneliness and the mother's mistake of not introducing or telling the story about the child's biological father. The causes of these forbidden marriages involve divorce, parental factors, and the influence of migration.In its analysis, this novel will be elaborated using sociological literature theory. This approach allows us to delve into the social life of a community reflected in a literary work and connect it with the reality of society during the birth and after the existence of the work. The research findings indicate that “Kemarau” is not only a literary masterpiece but also provides profound insights into the social dynamics of Minangkabau society. By delving into its social reality, the novel becomes a source of learning that enriches readers' experiences with the dynamics of life and marriage in Minangkabau culture

Abstract

Siti Nurbaya: Wajah di Sebalik Punggung, written by Edy Suisno, focuses on the character Datuk Maringgih. In the novel Siti Nurbaya by Marah Roesli, Datuk Maringgih is known as a cruel and greedy man. Datuk Maringgih is a rich old merchant who is considered evil because he married Siti Nurbaya as a debt to all of Siti Nurbaya's family debts. At first glance, Datuak Maringgih's actions look evil and detrimental to Siti Nurbaya. If you pay closer attention, taking into account the traditional aspects regarding the role of the Niniak Mamak in Minangkabau, as stated in the saying "anak dipangku, kamanakan dibimbiang", that a mamak has obligations and takes part in the life of his nephew. Analyze Datuk Maringgih's characterization, and look at three aspects of Lajos Egri, namely physiological, sociological, and psychological. The performance of the script Siti Nurbaya: The Face Behind the Back is realized in the form of a musical drama. According to Joe Deer, a musical drama is a drama performance where the actors who act as characters on stage are required to be able to depict the atmosphere of the story being played using singing and dancing as a medium of expression. A good actor is not only an actor who is good at acting on stage but also has to be proficient with matters related to musicality and choreography. It is not an easy matter to bring a character to life on stage as a musical drama actor. The actor is not only required to act when the performance starts until it ends but also has to master the acting and choreography related to the storyline at the same time.

Abstract

Folktales, as part of the rich oral literary tradition of the Indonesian archipelago, play a significant role in shaping and representing the cultural identity of a society. This study aims to examine the narrative structures within Indonesian folktales using Claude Lévi-Strauss’s structuralist approach, which focuses on binary oppositions and the logical relationships between story elements. The method employed is qualitative-descriptive, utilizing narrative text analysis on five folktales from various regions in Indonesia, such as Malin Kundang (West Sumatra), Timun Mas (Java), The Legend of Lake Toba (North Sumatra), The Crying Stone (Kalimantan), and Sangkuriang (West Java). The findings reveal that beneath the variety of stories and geographical settings, there are recurring structural patterns, such as conflicts between child and parent, human and nature, or good and evil. These patterns reflect cultural values deeply held by the storytelling communities, such as respect for parents, moral consequences, and a spiritual relationship with nature. By mapping the structures within these folktales, the study finds that Indonesian folktales do not merely deliver entertainment or moral lessons, but also serve as symbolic representations of collective cultural identity. This study is expected to enrich the understanding of Indonesia’s oral cultural heritage and open pathways for cross-cultural interpretation through a structuralist lens.
