Abstract

This study explores the short story “Menyusu Ayah” by Djenar Maesa Ayu, investigating the symbolic representation of male genitalia as a source of power within the narrative. The research examines how the story critiques gender power dynamics in a patriarchal society, focusing on the protagonist, Nayla, who experiences sexual abuse by her father. Applying Foucault’s concept of power and MacKinnon feminist theory, the study underlines how male dominance is extended through the sexualization and objectification of women, contributing to a significant gender gap. The research employs qualitative and library-based methods to explore how Nayla, in her attempt to claim power, engages with male genitalia, believing it will free her from male oppression. However, this act is framed within the context of a deeply ingrained patriarchal structure, which shapes her understanding of action and self-worth. The study reveals the complexity of Nayla’s search for power, demonstrating the ways in which gendered norms and social expectations limit women’s autonomy. The findings show how masculinity is associated with power and strength, while femininity is linked with submission. By analyzing Nayla’s actions and their symbolic meanings, this study sheds light on the broader implications of gender inequality and the cultural perpetuation of patriarchal control in “Menyusu Ayah”.

Abstract

The inclusion of the natural environment and spiritual values in traditional healing mantras has been part of the lives of traditional communities in various cultures around the world, including the Malay community in Karimunting village, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study aims to describe the elements of the natural environment and spiritual values in the healing mantras of the Malay community in Karimunting Village by applying Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism approach. The data in this study was collected through observation and in-depth interviews with three belian in Karimunting village. The data obtained was subsequently recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The research findings reveal that there are ten healing mantras practiced by the belian of the Malay community in Karimunting Village. Each mantra functions not only as a medium of healing but also as a representation of the interconnectedness between humans, the natural environment, and spiritual forces. Elements of the natural environment are reflected in the use of components such as leaves, water, wood, stones, wind, and animals, which are positioned as active entities possessing healing energy and symbols of ecological balance. Meanwhile, the dimension of spirituality is manifested through religious diction, such as the invocation of the names of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad, underscoring the belief that recovery ultimately originates from Divine power. This research contributes not only as an inventory of oral literature and local wisdom of the Malay community in utilizing their natural environment but also as a reference for similar research in the future.

Abstract

Citation is very significant in academic writing because it may create engagements with earlier findings and improve academic reputations. Studies on this area within academic writings have been widely conducted with varied purposes, but citation functions have received a small portion of scholarly attention. Besides, studies on this area in the Indonesian context are hardly found in the literature. Understanding this need has encouraged me to analyze citation functions in Indonesian History and Law research articles (RAs) because these two disciplines have been rarely investigated in genre studies, particularly in the Indonesian context. To reach this purpose, this study analyzed 30 Indonesian RAs from the History and Law disciplines to discover whether the functions are either to provide background information, provide evidence, or present beliefs, ideas, and issues circulated. The results revealed that citations found in the present study function as background information, evidence, and to present beliefs, ideas, issues circulated. However, these functions appear differently in each section. While these findings theoretically may contribute to the literature regarding citation functions in each section, they practically may provide awareness of article authors regarding the functions of citations in writing RAs.

Abstract

This article discusses the victimisation of women who were promised false marriage by men in selected Shona literature. It unravels why women fall prey and quizzes why men manipulate the marriage institution for personal satisfaction. The article utilises the feminist literary theory to interrogate two novels, Makudo Ndomamwe (Men are All the Same) (2004) by R. Makaya and Imbwa Nyoro (1982) (Innocent Ones are Often Guilty) by R. M. Mumvuma. Patriarchy as a major tenet of the feminist literary theory is used as a key guide in the interrogation of female manipulation after they are promised marriage in these novels. A qualitative research methodology utilizing a textual analysis approach is adopted. Additionally, scholarly views are gathered through questionnaires to draw their insights on the interplay of the patriarchal system in manipulating marriage proposals by men among the Shona people. The study discovers that women in the novels succumb to suppression. They are suffering from sexual objectification, violence and male centeredness, female silencing, male domination and control. This transpires because among the Shona, marriage accords women a perceived social status and it acquires them lifelong companionship and attains them much more respect in the community where they were born. The article concludes by providing recommended solutions to women and the society in preventing and raising awareness on the manipulation of the marriage proposals.

Abstract

The escalating ecological crisis demands a fundamental shift in how humans perceive nature, including through early childhood education. This article aims to analyze the representation of anthropocentrism’s impact in Riri Cerita Anak Interaktif videos and to evaluate its implications for fostering environmental ethics in children. This study employed a descriptive-analytical approach, using flow analysis and hermeneutic techniques. Data were collected through observation and note-taking from 67 purposively selected videos on the Riri Cerita Anak Interaktif YouTube channel, based on criteria concerning the representation of anthropocentric impacts on human–nature relations and their implications for environmental ethics. The findings revealed that the videos symbolically represent the impacts of anthropocentrism through the transformation of living beings and environmental changes that emphasize ecological imbalance. The narratives embed ecocentric values such as respect for the intrinsic worth of living beings, the importance of biodiversity, limitations on exploitation, and critiques of human domination and interference with nature. Furthermore, the narratives advocate for ideological change, systemic transformation, and collective responsibility for environmental sustainability. This study concludes that Riri Cerita Anak Interaktif functions as an educational medium that conveys environmental ethics messages in an immersive manner and holds potential in shaping children's ecological awareness. The study recommends further research using audience reception approaches and extending the scope of analysis to cross-cultural children’s media to strengthen contributions to digital ecological literacy.

Abstract

Indigenous poetry correlates with oral form. It signifies shamanic mantra but embodies ecological wisdom since it mostly depicts human’s relationship with nature. This paper deals with contemporary English poems especially those of Australian-Aboriginal and Southeast Asian poems which make use of indigenous aspects in the form and content. The purpose of this research is to identify how the use of holophrasis is beneficial in highlighting the indigenous aspects in the poems. Among these poems include Evelyn Araluen and Lionel Fogarty, two contemporary Aboriginal poets who adopt Aboriginal phrases in their poems; Quintin Jose V. Pastrana, a young Philippine poet who was inspired by the Ambahan or the indigenous poetic form of the Hanunuo Mangyan people’s in Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines; and Mario F. Lawi, a young Indonesian poet from East Nusa Tenggara who illustrates the initiation rite of Nappu Pudi tribe in that island. This research used qualitative method by referring to holophrasis as the method and praxis in reading the native poems. By means of the holophrastic reading, I found that the use of indigenous elements in their poems serves as methods to aestheticize and indigenize the poems in order to assert native identity in the hegemony of English as the colonial language.
