Abstract

This article underlines the perspective of sacrifice in a flash fiction of Ralph Henry Barbour & George Randolph Osborne entitled Thicker Than Water. Sacrifice is a gift for a better view of the future as it is in line with the short story that shows a sacrifice of a brother to his beloved sister who needs to be blood donated because her blood is thinner than ordinary blood. Through qualitative method in explorative approach, this paper points to the relation between Bataille’s theory and Barbour & Osborne’s short story. In analysis, Barbour & Osborn’s short story shows the sacrifice and sincerity of an older brother who had to donate a lot of blood and even hold the pain for the sake of his younger sister in order to save her from dying. In conclusion, sacrifice in this story is engaged with sincerity in which all goodness of one's self is given to the other.

Abstract

This article exposes how virtual identity or cyber persona deals with metaliteracy today. While traditional identities show particular social constructions, cyber persona asserts ambiguity of sharing culture between cyberspace and real world. The differences also shift enlightenment in literacy into paradox as a consequence of cyber persona trap. Literacy extends to multiliteracy and metaliteracy that enable further possibilities to blur private and public boundaries through interpretations of information. This also encourages the trend of hoax as mismatch between facts and contexts. Hoax exposes absence of reflection on information, or the absence of literacy, in a sharing culture. If literacy defines reading culture, metaliteracy means interpreting in sharing culture. Nevertheless, the interpretation does not enhance understanding because the information is intended for justification of a single truth. Through qualitative method, the analysis includes how metaliteracy shows paradox rather than congruence between virtual and real world. Continuous understanding becomes an alternative to get into the cyber persona. One information alone is never enough to understand realities. In conclusion, cyber persona enables individuals to extend literacy but with a two-edge of blade; information allows further understanding, but could also be used to justify certain ideological truths.
