Abstract

This study explores the role of connotation in literary analysis through a semantic approach, focusing on how implicit meanings and emotional nuances in literary language enrich textual interpretation. Conducted as a library-based research, this study draws upon various literary texts and theoretical sources to investigate how connotation functions as a key element in understanding the aesthetic, ideological, and cultural dimensions of literary works. By analyzing a range of texts across different genres and historical periods, the research demonstrates that connotation not only enhances literal meaning but also reveals deeper interpretive layers. Through a semantic lens, it emphasizes the importance of sensitivity to word choice, cultural associations, and historical context in critically reading literature. The findings affirm that awareness of connotation is a vital tool for uncovering the complexity of literary meaning and broadening readers’ interpretive perspectives. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of semantic analysis to bridge linguistic and literary disciplines, fostering a more nuanced and interdisciplinary approach. Ultimately, it encourages deeper engagement with literature that transcends surface-level reading and embraces language’s rich capacity for meaning.

Abstract

Industri mode global tengah bertransisi menuju praktik yang lebih bertanggung jawab terhadap lingkungan guna mengatasi dampak negatif fast fashion. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan inovasi desain busana etnik Nusantara yang dihasilkan oleh siswa SMK Negeri 1 Siantar serta menganalisis manifestasi kreativitas mereka dalam mengimplementasikan prinsip sustainable fashion. Menggunakan metode kualitatif-eksploratif, data dikumpulkan melalui dokumentasi karya pada acara fashion show sekolah, observasi proses produksi, dan analisis dokumen visual. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa siswa mampu mengintegrasikan Wastra Nusantara dengan teknik zero waste pattern dan upcycling. Kreativitas siswa terwujud melalui rekayasa pola yang meminimalkan limbah serta kemampuan dekonstruksi material tradisional menjadi busana kontemporer yang layak tampil di atas panggung. Hasil ini menegaskan peran strategis pendidikan vokasi dalam mencetak desainer muda yang berorientasi pada pelestarian budaya dan keberlanjutan lingkungan.
