Abstract

Tradition and culture in Indonesia are deeply connected, particularly through rituals and belief systems. The Purung Ta Liang Marapu ritual in East Sumba, NTT, is a sacred ceremony conducted annually to worship deities, involving offerings of animals and betel leaves on sacred objects. This ritual embodies animism, the belief in spiritual forces behind natural phenomena, which are personified as spirits or gods. The aim of this study is to explore the animistic narratology within the Purung Ta Liang Marapu ritual using a narraethnographic approach, a method that combines narrative and ethnography to systematically explain cultural values and traditions. The research highlights that access to the ritual's spiritual power is reserved for specific individuals, such as kings or priests, who play a central role in maintaining these cultural practices. This study contributes to the understanding of how animism shapes and sustains traditional rituals in Central Sumba, providing a deeper insight into the preservation of indigenous belief systems.

Abstract

Intercultural or another term for intercultural is a concept that brings together two or more cultural elements to then be integrated into new knowledge and understanding for each individual or group of people who want to know about the development of foreign cultures. In learning literature, intercultural is needed as a forum to develop global insight and knowledge. Learning literature is not only learning about the nature and content of literary works, learning literature means learning to be cultured and cultivating the culture itself. The data for this study were taken from famous novels from each country. The research data are: A novel entitled "Geisha" by Arthur Golden from Japan and a novel entitled "Cantik itu Luka" by Eka Kurniawan from Indonesia. This study is a qualitative phenomenological study by raising the similarities in culture and the position of women in the two novels used as data. This study aims to explain that there are similarities in culture in Indonesia and Japan that can be observed through learning literature, especially fictional works in the form of novels. This study found that Japanese women and Indonesian women are considered inferior and only tools to satisfy male lust. But behind that assumption, there is strength and politeness in women that makes them valuable and able to rise against the reality of life presented in front of them. Women are not weak creatures, whatever their culture, women are important entities that support the sustainability of human life on earth.
