Abstract

This research aims to describe the magical realism narrative in the novel Damar Kambang by Muna Masyari. The author uses magical realism studies according to Wendy B. Faris, which include irreducible elements, the phenomenal world, disturbing doubts, merging of nature, and disturbances in time, space, and identity. This research uses a library method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The research results show that there are four characteristics of magical realism in Damar Kambang's novels, namely irreducible elements consisting of magical objects, magical time, magical sounds, magical characters, magical events, and beliefs or myths. Next there is the phenomenal world, which is divided into objects, times, places, characters, and events. There are also disturbing doubts about objects and events. Lastly, there is a combination of nature, consisting of objects and events. Overall, this research shows that the Damar Kambang novel, which uses Wendy B. Faris' magical realism study, tends towards magical or mystical elements that most people believe. This can be seen from the presence of magical objects, sounds, figures, and events, such as japa water, which is believed to cure disease, water used to soak in used Kolor, which can affect cows, the sound of people calling without physical form, shamans who have the power to influence humans and supernatural practices. The situation where the supranatural is real encourages the emergence of beliefs or myths, which become the main theme in the novel Damar Kambang.
