Abstract

This study examines the trauma and memory associated with the Vietnam War experience in Shirley Ann Grau's short story "Homecoming," drawing on Paul Ricoeur’s narrative Theory, Maurice Halbwachs' Theory of collective memory, and Cathy Caruth's concept of trauma. The literary psychology approach analyzes how narration plays a role in individuals' struggle to confront trauma deeply rooted within. Specifically, Paul Ricoeur’s Theory is employed to depict the psychological struggle process in facing and overcoming trauma through narration as a medium of reflection and understanding of psychic wounds. Halbwachs' Theory explains how collective memory is formed by groups post-conflict, while Caruth's concept highlights trauma as an unresolved psychic wound profoundly affecting consciousness. The story portrays ongoing internal conflicts and wounds due to war trauma, as well as the crucial psychological struggle dynamics in the healing process. The findings affirm literature's vital role as a medium for reflecting historical memory, aiding post-conflict reconstruction, and enriching social interaction within society.

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
