Abstract

Semarang, the capital city of Central Java Province, has its own traditional style of wedding ceremony, the so called Pengantin Semarang or Pengantin Semarangan. Literally meaning Semarang wedding ceremony, Pengantin Semarangan is a combination of four traditional wedding styles, i.e. those of Javanese, Malay, Chinese, and Arabic, and thus symbolizes peace, unity, tolerance, and harmony among these majority ethnic groups living side by side in Semarang for thousands of years. Unfortunately, this valuable wedding ceremony is continously diminishing, as the people of Semarang themselves belittle their ancestor tradition. Unless a serious effort is made to preserve the tradition, the grandeur of Pengantin Semarangan may one day become a mere story

Abstract

This study analyzes the colonial and cosmopolitan visions in the novel Merangkul Beruang Merah (Hugging the Red Bear) (2016) by Ade Irma Elvira, which tells the story of the struggle of the main character, who comes from humble, ordinary family, to obtain a scholarship to Russia and live in that country. Using postcolonial approach, this study applies Debbie Lisle's theory of colonial and cosmopolitan visions. This paper analyzes how the main character, who comes from a former colonized country, views herself and the outside world. In the colonial vision, the results show that the main character initially experiences a sense of inferiority towards foreign cultures, while in the cosmopolitan vision, she finds a modern, developed atmosphere through putting forward open-mindedness, harmony, and empathy. In addition, there are several ways the main character conducts in relation to both visions, namely resistance and negotiation. Keywords: colonial vision, cosmopolitan vision, resistance, negotiation

Abstract

The production of a literary work is influenced by the elements present in its literary field. Oscar Wilde, one of the classic authors of English literature, was significantly shaped by the literary field of the Victorian Era throughout his career. This study aims to explain the reconversion strategies Wilde employed to attain legitimacy as an English literary figure. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework and sociological approach to literature, the research traces Wilde’s accumulation of capital, strategies, and trajectory. From his background, Wilde possessed economic, cultural, social, and symbolic capital—assets that empowered him to hold a significant role within the literary field. However, the scandal surrounding his homosexuality severely damaged his reputation at the time. Ironically, this downfall led Wilde to publish a phenomenal work that explored the concept of duality. With the widespread influence of the principle of “art for art’s sake” through the aestheticism movement, the public began to view art as something that should be appreciated purely for its beauty. This reconversion of capital ultimately enabled Wilde to gain legitimacy within the English literary field of the Victorian Era.
