<![CDATA[This study examines the intertextual relationship between the short story “Suara dari Jalanan” by Nadya Nurul Azkiya and the song “Bongkar” by Iwan Fals as representations of social criticism toward injustice and the oppression of marginalized communities. This research employs a descriptive comparative method using an intertextual approach to analyze similarities and differences in themes, modes of expression, and representations of the people’s voice in both works. The findings reveal that the two texts share common themes of social criticism, moral values of struggle, and the symbolism of the street as a space of resistance. The song “Bongkar” delivers its criticism in a direct, assertive, and collective manner through emotionally charged lyrics, while the short story “Suara dari Jalanan” conveys criticism through personal narratives that foster empathy and reflection. Although the difference in medium influences the way the message is presented, it does not diminish the core meaning of social criticism conveyed by both texts. This study contributes to the development of comparative literature studies, particularly intertextual analysis across different literary genres and media.]]>
