Abstract

The oral tradition of Native Americans is vital in maintaining their cultural identity, particularly in the face of the challenges posed by modernization and the long-standing impacts of colonialism that have threatened the existence of their original culture. Sherman Alexie’s novel Reservation Blues illustrates these elements of oral tradition and their functions within Native American culture. This research employs a phenomenological approach and Ruth Finnegan’s oral tradition theory to analyze how the elements of oral tradition in the novel serve as tools for critique and the restoration of Spokane’s cultural identity. Oral tradition is a cultural heritage from the past that needs to be preserved because, if it is not maintained and passed down to younger generations, it will simply disappear. Oral tradition serves as a means to recognize and understand the collective trauma experienced by the community at that time and to rebuild the identity of Native American society. This research concludes that the elements of oral tradition in the novel function to preserve cultural identity, reflect collective trauma, and critique the marginalization of the Spokane community. The narratives of oral tradition are also connected to Native American cultural values, revealing their struggles and resilience in the face of modernization and colonialism.

Abstract

Literature does not merely serve as entertainment but also functions as a medium for delivering messages, meanings, and the author’s experiences and ideas within the context of reality and culture. One such medium is film. This research focuses on the representation of Scottish culture during the medieval era in the film Brave (2012), directed by Brenda Chapman. The study examines traditional cultural symbols as part of the narrative structure and meaning-making process, which also aid in introducing and understanding Scottish culture. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with an objective approach, analyzing symbols through Perrine’s theory. The data are examined based on the film’s intrinsic elements, particularly symbols related to Scottish culture. The results show that symbols such as the tartan, bagpipe, and festival in Brave not only depict Scottish culture but also reflect values such as clan pride, solidarity, and the conflict between tradition and individual freedom. These symbols also convey moral messages about freedom and destiny. The study concludes that Brave successfully presents Scottish culture by combining traditional elements with social messages that remain relevant to contemporary life.
