Abstract

The prevailing sentiment is that colonialism is a thing of the past. However, the Western portrayal of the East is one of the shackles that still holds postcolonial societies. A diverse number of Orientalist writings and language perpetuate a rigid image of the people of the East as primitive, prone to tradition, and uncivilized. Such a representation tends to be perceived as true if it is told repeatedly, consistently, and continuously. This research attempted to provide insight into how imperialism operates in current discourses, how colonial power structures persist, and how these structures can be deconstructed, by presenting a re-examination of the presence of Orientalism in Ben Okri's short story, “Belonging” (2009), not as a careless reiteration of Western dominance, but as a type of Eastern resistance. This critical exploration was based on Edward Said's Orientalism theory and Homi Bhabha's Stereotype and Mimicry theory, and employed descriptive qualitative and deconstructive reading methods to re-evaluate the use of Orientalist stereotypes in the short story. The findings showed that the Orientalist view and stereotypes are unstable, creating a space for Eastern resistance against Western colonial discourse. This article thus sheds light on how Western perspectives on Eastern societies are embedded in literary works and at the same time discloses a possibility of resistance against Western stereotypes.

Abstract

Hypertextual poetry is a literary work in digital media with its complexity and uniqueness in accessing and reading it. This study aims to understand the model of digital literature through electronic poetry with the conceptual framework of Cybertext by Espen J. Aarseth (1997). The data collection method used is close reading, while data analysis is by linking text data groups and images in poetry. This study shows some facts about digital literature. (1) "Dispossession" with the hypertextual concept or hyperlink technique restricts access for particular users. (2) The text in the poem is not static and some of the texts have different contents even though they come from the same hyperlink. (3) The reader is not limited by the duration of viewing the poem and the text is impersonal. (4) There is an external link to (the author's website) as well as internal links to (the text of the poem). Those facts show that digital literature provides explorative and interpretative functions for users and readers.

Abstract

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) campaigns on various social media are getting more massively echoed by pro-LGBT groups. The LGBT community channels their creativity and expression to gain recognition and acceptance from netizens through Instagram, Tiktok, and other social media. Responding to this phenomenon, Indonesia, as a Muslim-majority country, in article 85 of the Family Resilience Bill, defines LGBT as an act of sexual deviance. As the science of law in Islam, Fiqh does not only talk about the halal and haram of a job. Law provisions prevent deviations from the occurrence of human roles and functions based on their nature. Thus, the authors examine the construction of fiqh law to prevent and raise the grasp of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people on social media. This study employed a sociological approach to Islamic law based on phenomenological and literature studies. The results of this study indicate: (1) massive campaigns and LGBT hegemony in social media harm the sociocultural orientation of future generations, (2) the legal construction of fiqh al-ḥaḍarah as a solution in providing awareness and prevention of LGBT campaigns on social media, (3) there is a spirit of collaboration between the concept of fiqh al-ḥaḍarah and positive law in Indonesia in preventing and arousing LGBT campaigns in social media.
