Abstract

This research aims to analyze the traumatic realism in the poem Ariel (1965), written by Sylvia Plath. This research uses Michel Rothberg's (2000) theory to show traces of trauma realized in literary works and uses Abelson's (1995) theory to find extreme experiences that traumatize individuals. Researchers use an approach or reference based on the biographical book "The Cambridge Introduction to Sylvia Plath," written by Gill (2008), to find a correlation between Plath's life and her writing in Ariel. This research uses a qualitative descriptive design to reveal and investigate the phenomenon of trauma and the forms or modes of extreme experiences in Sylvia Plath's life that are realized in Ariel. Data was obtained from textual sentences or words in poetry that refer to events or happenings in Sylvia Plath's life. Based on Spradley's theory and analysis, we think that Ariel's poetry is closely related to events in Sylvia Plath's life.

Abstract

This research article discusses feminine death in three short stories: The Little Match Girl (1906) by Hans Christian Andersen, Dead Men's Path (1972) by Chinua Achebe, and The Story of an Hour (1969) by Kate Chopin. It aims to reveal the existence of extremity and sacrifice in the death of a woman. This study used a qualitative-descriptive design to reveal and investigate the phenomena and forms, or modes, of women's deaths. The theory of feminine death from Elizabeth Bronfen (2017) is used to reveal the extremity and sacrifice of a woman, and the theory of philosophical death and female finitude from Linnell Secomb (1999) is used to reveal the mode and symbols of feminine death. Based on Spradley's theory and analysis, we argue that the three short stories all have extremity and sacrifice; in the short story by Hans Christian Andersen, there is a mode or form of death called "being-towards-death." Furthermore, in the work of Chinua Achebe, there is a mode of death called "the master-slave battle to the death." Lastly, Kate Chopin produced "dwelling-with-death". The three short stories can be found in extremity, sacrificing, and feminine modes of death. Thus, the identification can reveal the feminine death phenomenon in the short story.

Abstract

Penelitian ini akan menganalisis representasi perayaan sebagai tipuan sosial dalam dua cerpen lintas budaya yaitu, Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen (1907) karya O. Henry dan Syukuran (2014) karya Sori Siregar. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori representasi dari Stuart Hall dan dekonstruksi dari Jacques Derrida menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis. Penelitian ini akan mengungkap bagaimana simbol-simbol perayaan secara sosial tidak selalu merefleksikan makna yang ideal, yang biasanya merepresentasikan rasa syukur, kebersamaan dan spiritualitas, sebaliknya terdapat tujuan terselubung dengan menjadikan budaya untuk kepentingan individu seperti memulihkan martabat, reputasi atau bahkan hanya menciptakan ilusi sosial. Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa di dalam tradisi syukuran atau selamatan, yang biasanya digunakan untuk perayaan hasil panen, khitanan, nikahan, atau perayaan lain, dimanipulasi oleh tokoh utama untuk menjadi sarana memulihkan martabat dan reputasi tokoh utama yang seakan ingin menebus dosanya melalui tradisi Syukuran. Sementara itu, Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen menyiratkan pengorbanan dan penderitaan yang tersembunyi dibalik tradisi perayaan tersebut, yang mana subjek yang bagian dari perayaan justru mengalami kerugian fisik demi menjaga citra sosial, hanya untuk perayaan  malam thanksgiving pelaku bahkan rela tidak makan berhari-hari. Dengan melihat kedua cerpen tersebut, studi ini melihat bahwa perayaan dapat menjadi alat manipulasi sosial yang bisa melampaui dan melenceng dari tradisi asli.
