Abstract

Child violence often arises as a consequence of uncontrolled academic rivalry, driven by mimetic desire. This study aims to analyse the depiction of child violence in Merindu Baginda Nabi by Habiburrahman El Shirazy through the lens of René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire. Employing a qualitative research methodology with a descriptive-interpretative approach, this study examines words, phrases, and excerpts from the novel that represent child violence. Data collection was conducted through library research, while content analysis was carried out using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings of this study reveal that child violence in Merindu Baginda Nabi by Habiburrahman El Shirazy stems from mimetic desire, with the character Rifa positioned as the subject and Arum as the mediator. This dynamic escalates into rivalry and ultimately results in violence. However, the narrative demonstrates that such violence can be resolved through reconciliation and self-reflection. Accordingly, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of child violence in educational settings by applying literary analysis through Girard’s mimetic theory. The use of Girardian theory offers a novel perspective on the root causes of child violence in education. It contributes significantly to literary criticism and the broader discourse on conflict resolution through literature.

Abstract

The pethuk besan prohibition is part of the traditional marriage customs in Banaran Village, Kandangan District, Kediri Regency, which forbids the parents of the bride and groom from meeting for the first 40 days after their children’s marriage ceremony. The majority of the village community still obeys this long-standing prohibition today. This research aims to describe the function of the pethuk besan prohibition from the perspective of the community that still adheres to it, using William Bascom’s theory of folklore function. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method through interviews with community leaders in Banaran Village. The results indicate that the pethuk besan prohibition has several functions: (1) projection system: a symbolic representation of ideal post-marital family relations; (2) cultural validation: the myth of misfortune as a legitimization of the prohibition; (3) educational function: internalization of values and socialization of rules; and (4) social control function: regulating behavior and enforcing compliance.
