Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive comparative textual analysis of Chapter 1 of Louisa May Alcott's seminal novel, Little Women. The primary focus is a diachronic examination of lexical and orthographic variations between the original 1869 Roberts Brothers first edition and the 1970 Everyman's Library paperback edition, spanning a century of publication history. The central research problem addresses the process and implications of textual alteration in classic literature reprints. This study aims to identify, categorise, and analyse these changes to illuminate the editorial decisions, whether conscious or unconscious, that shape the evolution of a literary text for subsequent generations of readers. The methodology employed is a meticulous side-by-side comparative reading of the chapter, documenting discrepancies in vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalisation. The results indicate a consistent pattern of modernisation in the 1970 edition. Key findings include the substitution of colloquial or archaic vocabulary, the updating of orthography (e.g., ‘dont’ to ‘don’t’ ), and the modification of punctuation to align with contemporary conventions. These alterations, while enhancing immediate readability, subtly modify the original linguistic flavor, narrative rhythm, and historical context of Alcott's work. The preservation of certain authorial idiosyncrasies, such as character-specific misspellings, is also noted, suggesting a nuanced editorial framework. The study concludes that such textual evolution has a tangible impact on character voice and overall tone, underscoring the importance of edition selection in both academic and leisure reading.

Abstract

The hijab phenomenon in Indonesia has undergone a radical transformation from a static theological signifier to a dynamic visual commodity in the digital era. This research aims to analyze the shift in religious authority and the interpretation of hijab verses (Surah Al-Ahzab: 59 and Surah An-Nur: 31) by comparing the official narrative of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) and the hijab fashion narratives on TikTok. Using Hans Robert Jauss’s Aesthetic of Reception theory, specifically the concepts of "horizon of expectation" and "aesthetic distance," the study employs a comparative analysis on diachronic and synchronic axes. The findings reveal a sharp divergence in reception: Kemenag builds a normative-institutional horizon focusing on legal compliance and moral protection, whereas TikTok constructs an aesthetic-digital horizon driven by algorithmic logic, visibility, and consumerism. This shift demonstrates a radical decentralization of religious authority, where digital influencers act as new interpreters prioritizing "visual orthopraxy" over traditional orthodoxy. Consequently, aesthetics has become a new regime of truth for the younger generation. This study concludes that religious institutions must adopt visual literacy and new interpretive approaches to remain relevant within modern visual culture.
