<![CDATA[This article examines the novel Oni Jouska by Asep Ardian through an ecocritical approach, focusing on the subject-object relationship between humans and nature. Using the theoretical framework of ecocriticism from Cheryll Glotfelty, Lawrence Buell, and Greg Garrard, this study analyzes three main aspects: (1) the use of narrative strategies of via negativa and defamiliarization; (2) the symbolism of character names as an ecological map; and (3) The Great Pacific Garbage Patch as a setting of ecopolitical significance. The findings show that the novel consistently deconstructs the anthropocentric paradigm through the perspectives of marginalized marine creatures. The novel functions simultaneously as an ecological manifesto, a spiritual reflection, and a philosophical critique of human domination over nature.]]>
