Abstract

This study aims to analyse the transformation of animal narratives in short stories published in Kompas.id between 2020 and 2023, with a focus on the relationship between humans and animals. Animal stories, which were previously positioned as a medium for moral education for children in Indonesia, have now developed into a medium for criticising the relationship between humans, animals, and the environment. Data was collected through a literature study by searching and archiving animal-themed short stories published in Kompas.id during the period. The data analysis technique used was textual analysis with a philosophical interpretation, using Deleuze and Guattari's theory, particularly the concepts of becoming-animal and Body without Organs (BwO). This study analyses five short stories, namely Macan (2020), Histeinalbtraum (2020), Riwayat Seekor Babi (2021), Monyet Pemetik Teh (2022), and Doa Burung-burung (2022). These short stories depict the transformation of animal narratives through allegories laden with social and political meanings. This study reveals the complex dynamics in human-animal relations, while challenging social norms and hierarchies in Indonesian literature. The findings of this study offer a new reading of animal narratives as a medium of ecological criticism that exposes social, cultural, and political tensions in the context of contemporary literature. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis transformasi narasi binatang dalam cerpen-cerpen yang dipublikasikan di Kompas.id antara tahun 2020 hingga 2023, dengan fokus pada relasi manusia dan hewan. Kisahan binatang yang sebelumnya diposisikan sebagai media pendidikan moral bagi anak-anak di Indonesia kini berkembang menjadi medium kritik terhadap relasi manusia, hewan, dan lingkungan. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka dengan menelusuri dan mengarsipkan cerpen-cerpen bertema binatang yang diterbitkan di Kompas.id selama periode tersebut. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis tekstual dengan interpretasi filosofis, menggunakan teori Deleuze dan Guattari, khususnya konsep becoming-animal dan Body without Organs (BwO). Penelitian ini menganalisis lima cerpen yaitu Macan (2020), Histeinalbtraum (2020), Riwayat Seekor Babi (2021), Monyet Pemetik Teh (2022), dan Doa Burung-burung (2022). Cerpen ini menggambarkan transformasi narasi binatang melalui alegori yang sarat muatan sosial dan politik. Penelitian ini mengungkap dinamika kompleks dalam relasi manusia-hewan, sekaligus menantang norma-norma sosial dan hierarki dalam sastra Indonesia. Temuan penelitian ini menawarkan pembacaan baru atas narasi binatang sebagai medium kritik ekologis yang menyingkap ketegangan sosial, budaya, dan politik dalam konteks sastra kontemporer.

Abstract

How did the figure of Arjunasahasrabāhu/Kārtavīryārjuna travel from Sanskrit sources to Java and Bali, and what does his trajectory reveal about the formation of “Hindu-Buddhist Nusantara”? This article reads three textual layers: the Sanskrit Rāmāyaṇa-Uttarakāṇḍa and selected Purāṇas (Vāyu, Nārada); the Old Javanese Uttarakāṇḍa (ca. 996–1016 CE); and Mpu Tantular’s Kakavin Arjunavijaya (1379 CE), together with representative texts from the Balinese Rāmāyaṇa-Uttarakāṇḍa corpus. The study combines philological reading with the framework of cultural ecology—the material, social, and symbolic conditions in which texts are produced and received—and asks, at each transition, three questions: which features of the figure persist, which are erased, and which are reoriented? In Sanskrit sources, Arjunasahasrabāhu stands at the intersection of Candravaṃśa genealogy, Śaiva-Vaiṣṇava theology, and varṇa politics. In the Old Javanese Uttarakāṇḍa, the śaiva-bhairava idiom is preserved but reframed within the rājapūjaka ecology of Early Mataram. In Kakavin Arjunavijaya, he becomes a Majapahit nāyaka within a Śiva-Buddha cosmological synthesis. In the Balinese corpus, he develops into an autonomous heroic and didactic figure across multiple kakavin. The case shows that “Hindu-Buddhist Nusantara” emerged through a layered recomposition across distinct cultural ecologies, contributing to current debates on Indianization, the literary history of Java and Bali, and the comparative religious history of Southeast Asia.
